Health, Weight, And Taking Risks

2020/03/05

My relationship with my body and health is a complicated one. There are days where I feel strong, and curvy and sexy. I can kill an HIIT class. I’m at the top of intense spin classes on leaderboards. I can squat over 150 and-some change-pounds. But I have days where I weigh myself non-stop, grapple with every morsel that comes into my mouth, and beat myself up for not being whatever conventional idea of being “thin enough” and what defines healthy that day (which I’m sure 99.9% of people can relate

Romantic love, that good good, is the type of love that’s fetishized as the ultimate achievement, the one type of love we must cherish and work on the most, so much so that a majority of the chatter in pop culture and society about love is centered in romantic love — how to get it, how to keep it, how to flip it and reverse it, how to bottle it, manipulate it, share it, why you want and need it, how you gone lose it — the list goes on. But love lessons typically come through a lot of trial, error,

Racism and racist are triggering words. Use the R word and people clutch their pearls and run for the “not me, I’m not one of them!” hills no matter how accurate the term is to describe their behavior. The issue with this word to is it's ineffective as it's been declawed by racists who don't want the consequences of the correct labeling of their behavior, but refuse to own the truth of their racist thinking and communicating. In this episode I make a hilarious case for the power of words, why we

My Afro has always generated conversations well before I did. Entering rooms, blocking pictures, catching sunlight and an array of other things I'd pull out of it in surprise. Since wearing my hair naturally for the past 11 years it’s been an extension of me that was much more than just incredibly curled follicles, and my guest today knows all about how much hair, especially curly hair and kinky hair, deeply affects our identities and how we show up in the world. Kim Cowans is the founder of SKIMDO

"Think about the next big risk you want to take. The thing that makes you feel like your stomach is doing a backflip and you may shit your pants. The one that's terrifying to you and you've been holding off on because you don't think you're ready or you're afraid of the no or having the door slammed in your face. I want you to think what's the worst thing that can happen if you decide to take this risk?" - Me! Rejection stangss honey, but our avoidance of rejection can be the most limiting thing

Sex and Having Professional Joy Over Jealousy

Tell it Proud ·

2020/01/08

We do it, we do it and we hope we do it well (shout outs LL Cool J), but we don’t talk about it. Sex plays such a massive role in our lives but there’s so much damn shame and secrecy and limiting beliefs about our attitudes, experiences, and wants when it comes to sex. That’s why I loved speaking with Dirty Lola, someone who has blazed a trail by combining entertainment with useful information helping people with their sexuality knowledge. She is a sex edutainer, speaker, and self-proclaimed dildo

What does it mean to be a spiritual gangster and how can our spiritual life be integrated into our careers? That's what my guest Makhosi Candiss Pitts and I dive into on today's episode. Mahkosi left a Direct Sales business where she was the top 1% seller of a $250 million company in order to travel back and forth to Africa and become a fully-initiated shaman. I went alone, not knowing what to expect, and made it through incredibly challenging tests and trials others couldn't even imagine. We

How to Do The Things That Scare The Sh*t Out Of You

2019/12/06

Today is my birthday and I'm turning 32 seasoned, shea butter moist years of age. Every year during my birthday, I take the time to reflect on the past year, what I've learned, and how the hell I have survived one more glorious year on this rock revolving around the sun. From the age of 31 to 32 I took some of the biggest risks of my life - leaving my full time job, building my own company, creating and selling my ideas, speaking publicly on various stages, launching a podcast and more.

We've all been taught that we should pick a lane when it comes to creativity and our careers, but what if that is wrong?

We discuss redefining definitions of success and struggle, the wrong ways to build your network, what to do when the people you thought you could count on don't support

What do you do when you feel like you don't fit in, and you're not living up to your potential? Those questions propelled my guest Tayo Rockson to take some major risks that changed his life forever. Growing up as a child of a diplomat parent, Tayo moved to five countries and four continents and had a near death experience that became his wake up call. We discuss the impact of that experience, the beauty and power of not muting your identity for anyone else’s comfort, finding community when you feel

What does it truly take to create a path less trekked, especially a career path that's built on what society considers taboo? That's what me and my guest Cameron Glover tackle in the first ever episode of Sway Them In Color. We we talk dick pics, setting boundaries, your worth not being just what you do, why social media unfairly limits the reach of sex professionals and sex educators, what you should do when you make a mistake as a leader, building a tolerance for everyone not liking you, knowing
