Good Girl Radio

We learned that while many individuals have sincere heart to see women live their best life, so times people just get it flat footed wrong. This lesson comes at a cost. A cost of lived experience. A cost of applied practical advice that has failed, not once, not twice, not even three times, but too many times to count.   What we are talking about   Cameo’s pissivity - Spell check tried to change that to passivity. I SAID WHAT I SAID God doesn’t love you more because you’re married. You think you know what’s best for me. You don’t.

We are at a pivotal point in this nation as we begin to truly examine the moral fiber in which something is judged to be right or wrong, specifically around sexual assault, sexual harassment, and the heinous crime rape. The Bill Cosby sentencing, Brett Kavanaugh hearings, and even the Nassar trial has forced the country to face the stories of survivors, the protection of the elite, and the reality of a blissful ignorance of a few. So how did we get here? Join me as I explore this topic in transparent conversation with three men about what they have been taught, experienced, and learned about sexual assault.  

I have always, I mean always, found peace and contentment in my solitude. I enjoyed it. I sought it out. I needed it. It allowed me to process thoughts, heal, and recenter.

There are emotional issues we deal privately because we are often times embarrassed, ashamed or simply just don't know.

It wasn't until a recently relationship that I realized that I still hated my ex. The hurt, emotional abuse, and defense mechanisms were showing up in current relationships. It wasn't until I "disarmed" that I realized I still had healing to do! Listen to my confession about how I realized, "I still hate my ex"

For the first time, I gave myself heart flutters. Yes, me, gave my own self heart flutters. This feeling I've only expected from an external source like a romantic interest, a pat on the back from the boss, a mentor supporting you, etc..but never myself. It was only in the moment of writing about myself that I discovered I should have been giving myself "heart flutters" all along. Listen as I share how I gave myself heart flutters, the 3 reasons why its soooo important to love on yourself, and why I was whispering in the park..LOL.

We hear a lot about “the list” or “non-negotiables” for your future life partner/husband. It's a list of 159 million characteristics you desire or require for your spouse to have.

Listen to this week's podcast, as I share the top 4 revelations of why having a listen for yourself is crucial!

Well, I've learn, too many times to count, that God is smarter than me. So I went with it and simply followed where my spirit was leading. Which was, my dad is still showing up in my romantic relationships...in an unhealthy way.  In this confession I share: 1) How I discovered my own childhood trauma - who knew?!? 2) The truth about my role in my "unwanted"  extremly intense short term relationships  2) How my Obedience played a role in someone else's healing

I was ready to risk it all and lay hands on two random humans (that's the best noun I can muster up right now).
