Good Girl Radio

Without a doubt, communication is the key to a healthy and successful relationship. Unfortunately in many romantic relationships, men are traditionally silent. But why ? Dr. Sean Holland of Epicenter of Worship and President of I am E2E, an organization equipping individuals to move to the next level, shares in detail the thoughts, needs, and desires of men when they are silent. Listen to Part 2 of "Are You Robbing the voice of Your Man?" and learn the heart rhythms of your man, husband, or boyfriend when he is silent.

A man's silence on the nature of his relationship can speak volumes. It has ripple effects crossing generations. However women, more often than not, are unapologetic in speaking on the greatness, perks, both ups & downs of being in committed relationship. This week we are having a conversation with Dr. Sean Holland, pastor of Epicenter of Worship and president of I am E2E, an organization that equips people to go to the next level. After a social media post erupts on this very topics, Dr. Holland shares with us why men feel silenced in their relationships. Listen as we peel back the layers of how a woman could possibly be robbing the voice of their man.

Listen to Part 2 of the Good Wife as Shanell Henry, Lansing mother of three, shares her confession of merely being a "good wife."

Good is basic, just enough, and slightly better than average. And it's understandable that after 18 years of marriage, one can make peace with "good." But listen as one woman confesses why her role as a "good" wife isn't good enough.

More often than not we get upset, tight-lipped, or "salty" when some of our closest friend offer a healthy dose of honesty. We initially may want to deny the truth but if we receive it, it will only help us grow.

Being hurt is a necessary "evil" in life. It happens to the best of us. How we heal from the hurt can determine the quality of future relationships and our lens in life. This week on Good Girl Radio, recording artist and lyricist, Kim Pratt, reveals how she was hurt in what many consider a safe-haven, the church. Listen as Kim shares her story of preaching healing, but never being healed herself.

Former State Representative of 68th House district of Michigan, Joan Bauer, shares her confession with us this week. Her decorated career as the Director of Volunteer Services for the Ingham Regional Medical Center, Lansing City Council person, teacher, and public servant has created a well-respected public persona of wise, smart, hardworking woman, but Joan confesses, she's at place, as a 64 year old woman, she didn't expect to be.

For some, loss is a life-altering setback. It stagnates us, changes our countenance, and may leave many of us depressed with very little hope. But Dr. Renee Canady, the CEO of Michigan Public Health Institute, has a different perspective on a major loss. Listen to how four major losses in her life propelled her to new levels in Part 2 of leveraging your losses.

Loss of a loved-one, relationship, career or even a beloved material possesion is usually preceded by unbearable pain- an emotion we would prefer not to experience again.

She chats with Cameo King about how the four major losses in her life propelled her to new levels.

We heard both sides of story, about whether the size of the engagement ring matters when it comes to loving your partner. What we heard actually surprised us! Listen as we finally put them both in each other shoes, and ask for their response, in the last of the 3-part series of "How much are you worth - the engagement ring?" It may restore your faith in love.

When it comes to making the decision to get down on one knee and ask the love of your life to commit until "death do you part" , there is a lot of pressure - pressure from family, pressure to develop the right proposal plan, and pressure to find the right ring. This week, we learned that the wrong cut, style, and clarity of ring could get you a confident no. Listen as one newly engaged man explains the role of the engagement ring in the relationship.

For some, it's "every girl's dream", to have the love of their life, humbly get down on one knee and utter those four live changing words "Will you marry me?" But what we discovered during a recent "Beauty shop" chat, what comes out that little black box can determine the answer. Listen from both a man's perspective as well as women's perspective about whether size matters in your engagement ring.
