Nya Abernathy on Being a People Pleasing Perfectionist that is Scared to Make God Mad Nov 11, 2019

Show notes

What do you do when you've hit rock bottom? Is it possible to pull yourself out of despair when you are in serious need of healing plus have people pleasing tendencies, are afraid that God is angry with you all the time and are working a job that you wish would just blow up so you no longer have to go?

Today I am exploring all of this with my guest, Nya Abernathy. Nya is a married mom of (soon to be) two based out of Atlanta. Her business, The Dignity Effect, explores and teaches healing and self-care with grace and bravery.

Tiyanna Washington on Taking Back Your Life When Your Periods are Out of Control Oct 28, 2019

Show notes

When your menstrual cycle is out of control how do you feel and what the heck do you do?!!?!? Heavy periods are very common for black women and they can get so bad that our lives can be turned upside down and even ruined. We are missing days from work, fighting with doctors to help us (and not just use us for insurance money) and overall mentally depleted with the ever raging red war.

Listen in today while I chat and share with Tiyanna Washington. Tiyanna is a NYC-based licensed social worker and youth mental health advocate recognized for her mental health advocacy and community service. She has worked within the school system servicing youth diagnosed with emotional disturbances, behavioral-conduct disorders, and severe cognitive and learning delays. While working through the challenges of assisting our youth she has also had to deal with super heavy periods which left her drained.

Click play to listen as we share our experiences, plus Tiyanna gives us some takeaways that helped change the course of her cycles.

Lyvonne Proverbs on "Surthriving" When the Monster in your House is your Father Oct 21, 2019

Show notes

Sexual abuse and violence against women runs rampant in the U.S. as well as other countries around the world. How do we work through this when it's a parent or relative that violates us? In our community is it ok to talk to our children about ownership of their bodies and that "no means no?"

Today I am speaking with Pastor Lyvonne Proverbs, a New York City native, body and sex-positive preacher, transformational speaker, poet, educator, and creative social entrepreneur working to end #ChurchToo. An Emmy-award-winning media producer, plus featured in Essence as well as Cosmopolitan, Pastor Lyvonne is the founder of beautiful scars (@WereSurthrivors), an online storytelling agency focused on trauma, healing, and resiliency. She is committed to eradicating childhood sexual abuse having dealt with it not once but TWICE in her lifetime.

Listen in as we sit down, get as comfortable as we can with a topic like this and share our experiences as well as our journeys to healing.

*Trigger Warning as well as a few cuss words sprinkled in as well. This is a #realtalk type of conversation*

Show notes

Bre Mitchell (host of the podcast) dives into what it's like to be an "over-apologizer", how it shows up in our life and how to shut it down! Life is too short to not be the best version of ourselves we were placed her to be. Apologizing for everything limits us, not enhances.
