Join us as we explore the magical aspects of Black Girl Magic—the ability to create something out of nothing, to thrive in the face of adversity, and to transform pain into strength. But we also question whether Black Girl Magic has unintentionally become a coping mechanism, a form of resistance against societal challenges. Does leaning into this magic negate the hard work, sacrifices, and resilience of Black women like Stacy Abrams, Beyoncé, and those on their doctoral journeys?

The NCAA championship has never caused such debate and kerfluffle as it did with Louisiana State University’s 2023 win. Let’s discuss how privilege has plagued the LSU team's win, like the harsh words used to criticize Angel Reese for doing the same thing her white counterparts have been celebrated for doing. And unfortunately, many Black women aren't just watching this play out they have been on the receiving end of the same experience. We also want to explore how institutions are willing to change their rules. Even the best-meaning people can still be affected by the historical presence of racism and privilege.

The movie “Honk for Jesus” shined a bright light on the issue of real-life sexual scandals in the Black Church. When pastors or church leaders stray, it’s not just the spouse or the side-piece who gets hurt, but the whole church. We are asking the question, of whether redemption is possible and if so, how?

We should not be afraid to address difficult conversations regarding the things happening in the church that we just don't like. So, we are beginning to have hard conversations and this is the first installment. Today we are talking about pimps in the pulpit and the commodification of the gospel that allows people like Juanita Bynum to charge $1499 for a prayer conference. But the reality is she's not the only one and we want to talk about how we got here to a point where the gospel is no longer free and here to help set people free. Instead, it's being sold to the highest bidder.
Voting is a sacred act and we want everyone to do their part and vote their faith. Do your due diligence on each candidate and match them against your values, so that you are casting a meaningful vote. Don't forget to take your soul to the poll on November 8th and cast your ballot!
Many people feel guilty about resting, but it is time to change the narrative around rest. It's time to understand that in a world that takes so much from us daily we need to push back and resist the urge to just keep going. Our guest today, Rev. Dr. Kellie V. Hayes offers us insight on how she has been intentional with her schedule of rest and offers you tips to do the same.
Negotiating and renegotiating parental relationships comes with getting older. Your parents become part of your responsibility, but they don't always want to be cared for and told what to do. After all, they are the parent and they'll always see you as their child. This episode we talk about establishing boundaries with aging parents and helping you both find ways to both be heard and also recognize you're no longer a child and your voice is important.
People pleasing is a draining process, so there has be a point where we center our voice and health above others. This is an opportunity to learn to set healthy boundaries and trust the people around you will be able to love you as you learn to stop breaking yourself to serve and be present for everyone else. They say the new year starts with the actions you put in place in October, so start your 2023 by prioritizing yourself.
This is the first episode in our series on boundary setting. We are giving you permission to start saying no to what doesn't serve you. The way to ensure you maintain your peace is not by saying yes to everything that people need. We want to help you normalize being able to tell people no and not feel guilty when you do. They will be ok with it and if they are not, then those aren't the people for this freed up season in your life.
Have you ever heard a sermon that told you to speak to the storm and tell it "peace be still?" Today we are telling you sometimes it's not about outside storms, but it's by creating peace within yourself by taking time to rest, heal, rejuvenate and not do all the things. This is the podcast episode you must listen to if you have been doing all the things and wearing yourself down. It's time you learn how to quiet your inner voice.
This episode is all about your friends. Like the amazing stories, we watched like Insecure, Sex & The City, and Girlfriends we see that friendships add value, but they are difficult to navigate. So join us as we give you tips on how to keep your peace even in your friendships. Learn how to set your boundaries and how to decide when it's time to let go of your friendships.
There's no place like home. In this episode, we discuss how you make your home peaceful by creating your level of zen by resisting other people's expectations of your living space.
Protecting your peace is a key aspect of living a stress-free life. But we know that jobs you hate can be one of those areas it can be hard to find your zen when you have to deal with coworkers that stress you out, working more hours because of the pandemic, and a myriad of other reasons. This episode will offer some key reminders of how even though work will try to steal your peacefulness that you can fight back and ensure even at your 9 to 5 you find a way to remain in a state of calm.
There's nothing like church folk to love you and worry your nerves. In this episode, we talk about how you can protect your peace while dealing with the folks at church. If you're not ready to leave the church but refuse to allow the church folk to bother you, then this is the episode you must listen to.
