We take a deep dive into money matters and discuss how people's financial situations are directly linked to how they feel and are impacted by their many debts in life-financial, physical and emotional. Money is more than just currency...it is freedom! It has the power and ability to expose where we are at internally and reveals our priorities. Whatev...

A new year is here and old ways will be fighting to come into 2025 with you! If we want to grow it requires us to stand firm on our decisions to let go of toxic traits, bad habits, and those things and people that can't go with us into the new season. Time forces us to change and we must be willing to step outside of our comfort zone, be intentional, and consistent in order to get to what's next!
It's almost a new year-so new you right?! WRONG! Unfortunately as good as it sounds...we do not suddenly transform into someone else overnight without being intentional about adjusting our mindset first. This involves being conscious and honest about where you are at and focusing on the place that you'd like to get to. To realize true progress involves being realistic and getting outside of your comfort zone as you active...
Energy never lies! The proof is in the pudding so trust the energy coming your way from those around you. Whether good-OR BAD! Avoid the common mistake of making excuses for people's energy that is below the standard of what you are giving them. Let's stop having such high expectations of how people should treat us and the energy that we feel we deserve... and instead accept things for what they are and move accordingly.
We are all on a journey that we are constantly seeking to understand. We may or may not know what our true purpose is... but within that pursuit our passion drives us forward. Along the way we must be mindful of the company we keep, our environment, and influences that may have the power to either help or hinder our success. Building a brand or identity rooted in what you feel you are supposed to represent will not only inspire oth...
Unpopular opinion says we should be mindful of our decisions today as they will affect our future tomorrow. What are you doing now in your life that is sustainable and lasting?

Setting the example for those coming behind us is what creates true legacy. It's time to get out ...

Let's talk relationships! The good, the bad and the UGLY!! We all have been there...gave someone more attention than they are giving us...settling for less than we deserve. Sound familiar? Settling for the bare minimum or giving love, care and attention without it being reciprocated is a decision where we need to be sure to choose wisely. It is best to choose yourself FIRST. This is when we realize that the relationship with S...
Let's face it..we ALL can be a little too lenient when it comes to expressing and committing to creating and following through on our boundaries. Boundaries are the building blocks of balance. When you lack boundaries you are basically saying you are down for anything and willing to put everything and everyone else first. Establishing healthy boundaries...saying NO to those draining or time consuming things you tend to always ...
Grief is a delicate and difficult emotion to master and understand. We should be patient and kind to ourself as we navigate this process. It's okay to allow yourself time to feel, deal and heal. Nothing will ever make our life feel as complete as when our loved one(s) was here with us. However, we may find peace and understanding once we accept that there is a divine order to things which is totally out of our control. Learnin...
In this episode we explore the common mistake of making associations without knowing what's at the source. Too many people are willing to bypass their intuition, standards, beliefs, morals and values to follow the trend of what's popular or convenient. This is a NO NO! If you stand for nothing then you will most certainly fall for anything! If you are getting connected with something or someone...it is very important to u...
Where are you investing most of your time and energy? Are you in a circle or relationship with people that match your energy? Are you being poured into or simply doing all of the pouring without your energy ever being reciprocated? We must be mindful of where our time and energy is spent in order to be intentional about self-preservation. When it comes down to it we really are living a life which is by design. There is nothing new ...
Have things slowed down for you lately? Less calls from friends, less interest in doing things or there actually being things to do. Less opportunities coming your way or invitations for brunch, playdates, dates or kickbacks? Well GOOD FOR YOU! It sounds like you have entered into your quiet season. If this sounds like your situation it's likely an indication that this is your time to rest, reevaluate and recharge. Being busy ...
Have you ever heard the saying, "life is full of ups and downs?" Well...while this is truth...that statement conditions us to simply accept and not embrace the changes that come our way. Everyone wants to experience the peaks but it is in the valleys where we learn what we are made of. As we go with the flow of change and try our best to resist fighting the waves...we soon come to realize that as we learn to ride the wave...
This is your ME SEASON! This is your time to live freely, unapologetically and truly prioritize your own wants and needs. We all have encountered those people who make it a habit to take take take all that you constantly pour into them while failing to reciprocate the same energy and effort in return. It is time overdue to pay yourself FIRST and stop people pleasing.
With the exception of our children and those who rely on us to car...

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
