You feeling this episode? Send us a text!In this episode we talk about adult friendships. As we age we start to really dissect and reevaluate our friendships. Some of us grow apart but do we really have to though? We talk so much about communication but drop the ball when it comes to those who were there by your side at one point in time. I'm not talking about the ones who were toxic and needed to be cut and burned. Leave those be. Some times we get so caught up in life that we forget to reach out to those that had our back until we standing at the pulpit telling stories over caskets. It's a total change when our friends are split across the continent or continents. We get into this who's going to call first mindset. Who's going to plan first ideation. We lose time that way. If you love those close to you then keep them close. To my friends that are not near, I hope you're still close. That's why I'll always be the first. It doesn't matter. A simple check-in text is all someone needs, sometimes. Support the show

You feeling this episode? Send us a text!In this episode, we discuss the women's sect with love. A lot of women are out there who've never experienced love. They play games with it. They demand financial gain before trusting it. They try to put love in submission with the silent treatment and so many other childish tactics to mask their lack of poor communication. There's so much that love can take before it moves on to someone more mature. Let's get into it. Women, when's the first time you knew love?

You feeling this episode? Send us a text!People talk about love like learning a new vocab word and saying it excessively. That doesn't mean you know how to use it properly. Often times we think we're "in love" but you never truly love someone until you "choose to love them". Marriage isn't always the good times. That what the vows prepared you for. Do you really love your spouse? Did you have to grow to love them? Let's get into this episode. Support the show

You feeling this episode? Send us a text!Too many people are walking around with things they never let go of and they're bounded by the pain. Communication gets lost in translation. We tend to punish the future dragging the past behind us. We never go to therapy for it but we punish future partners and our children for our hurt. Others can see and so can we. Sometimes people choose not to get over it because they feel they can control the narrative. Baby, get over that shit! Go to therapy! Harboring pain for years makes your body pay for things you never let go of. Stress can form tumors that can be malignant and why should our body suffer for things we left unsaid or things we never communicated. Say what or who hurt you. Tell them how it made you feel. Talk it out. Listen to understand instead of trying to get your point across. Stop bottling up everything as a mechanism to cope. Stop shutting down when you hear what isn't palatable to you. You have free range to identify the problem, come up with how to communicate the problem, then say it with your chest without remorse. By all means SPEAK THE HELL UP! Get some help! Take your ass to therapy!Support the show

You feeling this episode? Send us a text!There are seven stages of grief and we all go through it at different rates. Some of us take a lifetime to fill the void that that person was. Sometimes grief hits you in an instance. Anything will make you reminisce and cry. Sometimes during the process things go unsaid. People don't get told off. Sometimes we off the whole world just for a quarter of peace. It doesn't matter who you lost, just remember that grief has no time limit. It's okay to keep going but you can't skip the process. Take all the time you need but don't pause in time stuck on death. Grieve and grow. Cry and walk the mile. Make peace but don't ever let someone walk all over you. Stand up for yourself in the worst part of the process. Be kind to those going through the process because grief has no address. It will overstay its welcome. Get counseled. It's a must! Reach out to a grief counselor near you and say, "It's time I learn to let go!" You're not letting them go because they live in you but you're letting go of all the negative an unsaid words you've hidden since. Please go to therapy. Support the show

Take the truth in, learn from it, don't repeat it, don't fight it, and move on from it. I can tell you right now someone is hiding something from you.

I'm not going to put another hashtag to a person's name as if it solidifies that that was all they were. There was much life lived before they were murdered and it's about time we started talking about that. There needs to be reform and consequences for individuals whose actions are spiraling or too tense for working in public service. The goal is to protect and serve not kill on demand.
