Tipping The Scales

Raven is the second person in her family to graduate from college and set out to be an optometrist at 17. Once she arrived at Auburn she became curious about everything that encompasses high level sports from how fans get into the building to the overall experience. So she deferred graduate school and started selling tickets for $7.25 for the Florida Panthers and that was her start into sports.

Whether it was the NHL, MLB, NFL, or NBA she was determined to learn and drive business. Every league presented different challenges but it taught her the skills that have put her in the position she's in today.

Becoming a leader, she describes herself as empathetic and someone who leads by example based on all the experiences she's had. She's a NBA Champion, it's surreal to her and she still gets chills thinking about it today. As someone who loves the grind she makes a point of being present in all aspects of her life.

Raven talks about love - what's important in any relationship, it starts with communication, vulnerability, and having fun.

Mikal Bridges

Shea is back hot off OTE opening weekend and just in time to welcome Tyneeha's son, Western Conference Champion with the Phoenix Suns, Mikal Bridges. More than an insight into his basketball journey, Mikal reflects with the ladies on the behind-the-scenes story of how he grew up and what situations off the court shaped him into the player he is today.

Mikal discusses how he mentally prepared to play ball at Villanova, only to be red shirted, and how that year formed him. The laughs, the tears, those who inspired him through grace, and those who motivated him through struggle; We hear about his championship seasons at Villanova, the blessing that was being traded to the Suns on Draft Night, having a career high game during the NBA Finals and the feeling that came with signing a 4-year $90 million rookie extension.

This episode is full of basketball, no doubt, but more importantly it is a testament to a mother’s love, to the power of positivity and to the meaning of a balanced and fulfilled life.

Year of You

You can’t pour from an empty cup. This is the motto of any one living a service driven life, but one that most of us don’t pay much attention to. Tyneeha and Shea look at how to make 2022 a “the year of You”. Coming out of a pandemic, and what many of us have been overwhelmed with for the past two years, means we need to learn how to prioritize ourselves more often or else we will be no help to any one.

How do we recognize the failings in our lives, how do we bounce back from the people and relationships who have hurt us, how do we move forward to be the best version of ourselves and learn from the past?

The ladies look at all of these questions and work to answer them, with the understanding that every aspect of our life is a relationship, and one that we need to nurture to make grow, and to walk away from if it isn’t what is meant for us.
