The Self Love Monologues Podcast

Season 3 Premiere: "Who do you become, when everything you own is taken away from you?"

Who do you become, when everything you own has been taken away you? I heard this question for the first time while listening to Oprah’s “Super Soul Sunday” podcast. The topic was self-actualization, but of the truest nature. And by “true” I am referring to the discovery of essence - basically who you are, when you're not performing on the world stage. It took me five years to arrive at an answer. Five years that were spent healing and hurting. We are talking about 1,825 days of redemptive suffering - a period of mayhmem and transformation. But I made it to other side and found my roots. Press play now to find out more about my discoveries.

Season 2 Finale : "A Single Mother's Atonement."

Heavy is the burden carried by a child borne out of wedlock to a pair of youthful souls chasing adventure. Your fate becomes single parenthood, and you will most likely be shipped elsewhere for rearing. You may be loved, but you will always have questions - why did you throw me away? - was I not good enough for you to raise on your own? - or did you have times where you wish I didn’t disrupt your youth by coming into this world? This was my story - and I finally found the courage to ask my mother the hard questions. Press play now to hear more.

True Love Miniseries Part III: The Breakthrough

So I have spent years fantasizing about Prince Charming and now he is here. In the flesh - outside of my head - and right inside my arms. There is joy. There is excitement. There is healing. But also a lot of anxiety as I try to answer some very difficult questions: How do I know that I am prepared for true love? How do I keep it? Hold space for it? How do I get over the fear of loosing it? How do I prevent self sabotage?

True Love Miniseries Part II: Lessons on Love

As with all things, it took pain for me to understand more about this thing we call "true love." It took a broken heart. I realized that I was chasing an idea instead of waiting for the universe to provide what I needed - what was meant for me. I still don't know what true love is. I have no idea what makes it "true" or what makes it "love." But I do know myself that much more. And I'm now here to share the lessons that I've learned. Press play and don't forget to share this offering with your tribe.

True Love Miniseries Part I: The Search

Finding love seems to be one of those impossible myths and yet the evidence shows that it is possible. But how do you get there? This the question that I've been asking myself for years. So I decided to create a miniseries exploring the notion of true love - but as a queer construct. Our first segment will be lead by Jordan Chanetsa (pronouns: she/her). Jordan is a gift to the human rights movement of Zimbabwe. She is fighting for trans visibility in a country known for demonizing queer identities. She is also a writer - survivor - activist - talk show host -  pop culture enthusiast - sister - friend - goddess - matchmaker - shoulder to lean on - truth teller - and more.  Go ahead and press play and don't forget to share the episode with your tribe.
