What has been your experience with your hair? Have you ever felt like you have had to conform or change your hair for certain situations? How does your hair journey mirror your journey toward self-awareness and acceptance? Our hosts are answering these questions and so much more! The closing excerpt is read from "My Hair ...

Ep. 30 - The Journey to Love (Season Finale)

It's Valentine's Day!!! In this episode Rhonda and Khalia are exploring the love journey in a slightly different way - they are talking about Black Love Day (Feb. 13). According to the African American Registry, Black Love Day, which falls on February 13 every year, was established in 1993, and is spiritual holiday rooted in African cultures and ideas. The aim of this day is to complete the five tenets: to practice love toward "the Creator, for Self, for the Family, within the Black Community and for the Black Race" for 24 hours. Rhonda and Khalia, who just learned about this significant celebration, explore how learning of this new tradition has shaped the way they approach Valentine's Day. In addition, they are giving some insight to how they intentionally love themselves in this life journey. Take a listen!

Ep. 28 - Fitness Journey Check-in with Personal Trainer LaTesha Turner

We have talked about our wellness and fitness journeys and know how hard it can be. So, at the top of the year, we thought it’d be good to check in with each other, and all of you, AND to bring in an expert to join the conversation,  personal trainer LaTesha Turner. In this episode, LaTesha shares so much wisdom around the fitness journey: how to work out, what we should focus on (especially for those of us who have crossed over 40), the importance of nutrition, and so much more. We even share our favorite and least favorite works outs (hint: burpees made the list for everyone ... was it a favorite or least???)
