Take Off The Mask - Mental Health Awareness Month

S.A.V.E. Yourself

How do we achieve the life we desire during these challenging times? Preparing is just as important as the journey itself. Since no one is coming to save us, we have to save ourselves. Set your intention daily, Acquire/ Accountability, Be Vigilant about our vision, then Execute with Excellence. In a world of google and YouTube, we have no excuse for ignorance. It certainly isn’t bliss. If your circle doesn’t inspire you, it’s a cage.

Focusing on What's Important in 2021 - The 5 F's of Life

2020 has taught us valuable lessons about everything.  Material things took a back seat to the fragility of life.  In previous episodes we defined the pandemic as a hard reset; a time to reflect.  The journey to rebuilding begins with evaluating the man in the mirror.  What has served you?  How do you experience joy?  What inspires growth? What are you certain to leave in 2020?  The idea of hindsight being 2020 has lived up to its truth as we learned how to secure from the outside in.  In 2021 we will place the importance in doing whats best and acknowledging the sustaining factors to securing our soul and balancing life from the inside out.  Join us as we explore the 5 F's;  Faith, Family, Finance, Friends and Fitness.  How can we set goals, take action and achieve in a fast-changing and challenging new world?

Black Men: On The Front Lines. Part 1/Part2

Traditionally, We honor the men in our lives during the month of June.  We remember our Fathers, Brothers, Uncles, Grandfathers and all the men who provide and protect.  This interview is very special to me because both of these amazing men where Vietnam Veterans and giants in my childhood Church.  Both men are examples of family men, who love God.  Their experiences have shaped how they came into the knowledge of God and how it served as a solid foundation of faith, family and tradition. This is a two part video/audio.  We discussed their humble southern beginnings, their experiences in war and how it changed the trajectory of their  life; body, mind and spirit.

Take Off The Mask - Mental Health Awareness Month

The impact of COVID-19 on our mental health will be felt for months and years to come.  How do we begin to understand our body's response to stressors and triggers resulting from the pandemic?  We have yet to fully understand the anxieties and fears associated with social distancing.  During these unprecedented times,  our mask protects us from contaminates within the public.  The beliefs, and vulnerabilities that govern our true inner selves,  hold us captive, and must be effectively addressed in order for us to take off the mask.

Strength of a Woman: Rising to our Full Potential

Women are Queens, Rulers, and Teachers.  We have built nations, and won battles.  March is Women's History Month.  During this episode we discuss the qualities that define our character, courage, and uniqueness.  We are, as Dr. Maya Angelou said, Phenomenal Women; Fearfully, and Wonderfully made.  While we celebrate our accomplishments, we also take a look at the most recent crisis in our nation, and how it has impacted our families, communities, and employment both now and perhaps for years to come.
