    I am back and I am stirring the pot!I took sometime away to really think about the topics that I wanted to speak about on this podcast and the topic of Spirituality and Religion just wouldn't leave my brain. I grew up in a very religious household and I had so many misconceptions about what it mean to spiritual. The things I thought we evil and demonic weren't the things I thought holy also failed to meet the standards of belief for  my heart and mind. A lot of times we are living someone else's beliefs and we don't even know it. This week we dig deep into the separation of religion and spirituality. We crush harmful misconceptions and heal from a little bit of childhood trauma.This week my guest is Tarot by Sinn aka Jami! Born and raised right outside of Charlotte, NC . Growing up religion was used a tool to punish not to help and after experiencing hypocrisy in the church she decided to walk away at the young age of 13.  She began to seek which included reading books on all types of spirituality including  Wicca.  Tarot touched her soul and she began reading at 14 years old.  When her father died suddenly in 1996 it began a long road of ups and downs for her.  As an only child she has survived both her parents which drove her down a dark path each time.  As an already diagnosed depressed individual these things took her down some of the darkest roads spiritually she'd ever take. Jami has overcome addiction and survived a very abusive relationship. She believes strongly in her spirituality and her gift to help others; she also still loves God! She is on a mission to correct the myths of being a witch and to end the stigma behind it.Let's normalize spirituality in 2021!For more info on Jami and her full bio follow her on Facebook at Tarot Readings by SinnThis week I announced that I will be stepping away from Facebook.

Eve and invite The Mandy Burnett to talk activists, allies, and Black Lives Matter. We originally had a pre-recorded an episode on Identify Fusion in mass groups but we felt we could not go forward with that conversation without it being dismissive to current events. We ask each other some hard questions and help each other gain perspective. Mandy Burnett is a Momentum Building Speaker, a Creative Solutions Coach for women, and author of the upcoming book, I Think I’m Doing This Wrong. She is the oldest daughter in a blended family of six girls and is now raising her own blended family of six with her best friend and love of her life. Growing up Mormon she excelled at being who she was supposed to be and was a fierce defender of the status quo. But there was always something that felt not quite right. Only after uprooting her life at 31 through divorce, leaving the church and moving hundreds of miles away was she able to find herself and her true feelings outside of the system she grew up in. She is an ally, a lover, sometimes a fighter and mostly fun.

    This girl is stepping out of her shell and focusing on a podcast. This podcast is all about overcoming and becoming unapologetically you in every way possible!I am on a journey to be evenly focused in every aspect of my life and I would love some amazing people to join me on this journey. If you're a unicorn like me then you are going to love this. This week Eve chats with Joshua Karlton-Senaye; a young Entrepreneur who is a Upcoming Junior at the University of NorthCarolina at Greensboro. I am also a self taught software developer who has made an educational app called CalcPlusWeb2. With CalcPlusWeb2, all students and users have access to on-demand formulas in subjects ranging from business to engineering, including math."I would love the audience to understand that, in life success or the want for success would never come easily. In college, I had faced so many closed doors that I thought I would never make it in life, but I remembered the dream I had in my heart, and I stuck with that dream until I saw the light again. My point is, when your life seems dark, you must dig down to remember the dream God placed in your life and when you come out of the darkness, Remember to thank God for the strength he gave to you." ~ Joshua KarltonJoshua blows us away with a Cinderella story that will motivate any entrepreneur to keep going no matter the troubles they may face. We also talk about how to overcome these times.

    Eve and Hannah talk Rachel Hollis, her Maya Angelou apology, and where do we go next as a community. Eve and Hannah are both ready to talk getting past this as a community. This is by no means a Rachel Hollis bashing but more of a cry for help to stop silencing women of color.
