Embracing Discomfort

Dom and I have a enlightening conversation on the topic of Self - Love and how it is the missing piece to the bigger picture that we can only begin to start seeing. We dive into the areas of life that lack a understanding of the benefits of having Self - Love. We consider if the BLM Movement has been co-opted? What even is ANTIFA? The way that self-love is slowed down by co-dependency. Who are the Rothschild's and why do they own all these banks? Why is the world seeming to make the most sense in a time where it seems beyond chaotic? Dom spends a lot of time looking past what the media tells us to pay attention to and sees that there may be a bigger force controlling everything we know. We had so much fun recording this episode, there was so much laughter and I learned a little about a lot of different things. The portrayal of picking sides rather than admitting we may not know if there is one side that is completely correct. The time that we should all take in order to process how we feel and what we want from life. Dom also tells us his unorthodox journey that led him to seeking self love over worldly love. We hope you start considering some of the things we speak about and do some digging for yourself.
Much Love as Always

Christians: Love or Hate? w/ Rachel Sprague

It's no secret that Christianity is the most controversial religion there is in North America. What is the Church doing well and what are some points to critically analyze as we look at this religion? In the current climate of the world how is being a Christian something you have to Love or Hate? What can we do better as warriors for Jesus? Are Christians loving more than they are hating? Why is religion something that people have a hard time talking about and how can we speak to people who don't share the same beliefs? There was a lot more to uncover and there is so much more controversy than we got to ,but what is going on with God's church? Why is the Church so quiet? Rachel and I sat down and started a very special conversation about the Church as two women who just do their best to Love God and love our neighbors. She broke down the anthropological definition of racism and how we misunderstand that definition of that word. We dove into boundaries, safe spaces and racial divisions......all the while laughing at the span of the things that divide us as humans ,but even more so as Christ Followers, we offer some solutions and hope anyone regardless of their background can share with us in this uncomfortable conversation!
Much Love!

Amplifying @TimothyEugenius: A Conversation on Grief & Loss.

When Tim told me that he wanted to broach the subject of Grief and Loss, I was completely shook not only because of the uncomfortable subject but because the recent loss of Chadwick Boseman and how important this conversation is. WAKANDA FOREVER, seriously though. In this very brave episode Tim & I unpack the heaviness that accompanies grief and loss. We acknowledge that there is a difference in the process of grieving for different genders & races. The dangers of capitalizing on grief and refusing to empathize with the panic that accompanies the grief. We spoke on the continuing journey that society seems to be taking to create walls to hide their pain. What can we do better to help each other? If anything life is very short and very long at the same time and the people that we choose to live this life with can be the key to keeping us on track to healing and growing. Some solutions we offered that could be right, wrong or in need of revision included the choice to forgive, artistic expression, writing it out, friendships with people who make time for you (tea), time, adventure, hope, and creating memories with the people who mean the most. Let's create safe places for people to be vulnerable about their grief and loss.
Tim is also a LOCAL Greensboro artist!
