"Uncontrollable Variables"

"What's Really Important"

My guest for this episode is Dr. Cynthia Briggs, Psy.D., MT-BC, and Professor Emeritus in the Music Therapy Department at Maryville University. Her extensive experience with children inspired me to have her speak on parental relationships. She shares her expert advice for parents in maintaining those relationships from infancy to adolescence, and we identify some commonalities throughout each stage. She definitely shared some gems that can broaden one's perspective to think about what's really important. Take a listen and enjoy!

"A Conversation With My Sisters"

There's nobody like my sisters! I wanted this episode to reflect the many conversations we have as young adults who learn to love each other. We share our stories and perspectives from childhood to now, with a couple of expletives. LOL! One of the hardest and most real relationships we have to develop is our sibling relationships and it is so rewarding when we choose and/or have the opportunity to do so. Enjoy!

"Mommy Loves You"

Niki Ellis aka "Hunni" dropped her single "Mommy Loves You" this past Friday 3/19/21. A song that emotionally illustrates her heartbreaking experience with a miscarriage. The song narrates all the pressures surrounding her pregnancy that eventually lead up to an extremely painful moment. If you are able, please take a listen to hear her story and how you can listen to her new single!

"A Conversation With My Mother"

In this episode, I feature my mother as the guest speaker, whose name is also Stephanie! She takes the time to share her wisdom and insight behind raising her 3 daughters as a single mother while building strong relationships with each of us. A little emotional but worth it! Please take a listen and enjoy!
