Authentik Life Podcast

Old to Us but New to You!  For our season premiere we're releasing an episode that was recorded over a year ago but is very relevant today. Take a listen, follow us on social @The Authentik Life and share your thoughts.  The Woman, Mom and Wife roles have always stood for strength in the black community.  There's a lot of talk about women wanting it all. Most women are trying to wear all of these hats flawlessly.  Woman. Mom. Wife. Sister. Daughter. Business Owner. Corporate Queen. Community Activist.  Why do we want it all? Is it Fantasy, Social Media, Greed? Is it a illusion? What does “having it all” look like?  Does this mean when dealing with grief, postpartum, career stress, heartbreak, sick children, sick parent, should we still should be able to DO IT ALL?  It's common to see Black women being overlooked, overwhelmed or ignored  or suffering in silence. Do you believe that women of color don't feel uncomfortable asking for help? Why or Why not? Do you feel comfortable Asking for help as a  woman of color? What does that look like? These are only some of the questions we address in this episode. Let's get to it.  Ain't Nothing Changed, We are still....  The podcast for women who persevere.  Where we Talk Real Life with Real Women who have Overcame Real Issues  and we are so happy to be back!  Our guarantee is to provide a No Fluff zone .  We encourage all women to Keep it 100, Give Grace & Live Authentically who they are called to be.

What is Real Friendship and what it is not.  I've learned over the years that friendship is not what it was painted to be when I was a teenager.  We have to be careful not to have unrealistic expectations of people.  Should a friendship be as taxing as a marriage or committed relationship? We discuss friendship as an adult compared to the idea of what friendship was as a young adolescence.

On this episode we are discussing how a lot of people forget the growing pains and their past mistakes. They begin to only see life through the lens that are currently in. We have to become more transparent with our experiences in order to break the generational curse of making everyone believe things are perfect and easy, clean and full of fluff. We miss the opportunity to educate, share relatable moments and prevent our future generations from making similar mistakes.

We have to stop caring what people think. I have had several instances lately where the topic of conversation involved the pressure of pleasing others or constantly thinking what others are going to say. It’s sad to hear. But we also have to check our sense of entitlement to know all the answers and to have everyone support and cheering in support. I’m here to inform you. Though it sounds good. Unfortunately, life doesn’t work that way.

By now, most of us consider self care to be a standard.  Typically, in our culture self-care can be defined as; nails, massage, pedicure, vacays, candles, aroma therapy So forth and so on.  These ARE forms of self-care. BUT. I am here to briefly provide 3 additional forms of self-care that we should consider on our journey to live authentically.   Follow Us on all social platforms @AuthentikLife Please take quick second to rate, review and subscribe.

Enough is Enough.

Some of us are heavy. Carrying around baggage.  Some of are broken . Some of us have reason to be upset, hurt, disappointed confused, frustrated, defeated.  Tragedy has hit home for me. My life have been completely uprooted, plans detoured. I've been lied to, mistreated taken advantage of and even delayed. I’m sure at least one of these terms resonate with you. But my true concern is the effects of these bad circumstances. Whether it's  Financial strain  Health Issues  Loss of a Parent  Loss of a child Abusive relationship  Divorce  Sexual abuse  Not being able to conceive Stayed in a relationship too long  Made a bad decision  Grew up in a less than favorable situation.  Homelessness  Flunked out of school Denied from ideal profession or career  Lost and don’t know who you are or what you want    What ever it is. We all have something. Something that almost broke you. Whether it was something that was the result of a bad decision or life dealt you an unfavorable hand.  How did you respond? How are you responding? Do you still live there? (meaning replay what happened over and over.) Have you forgave yourself or the person that wronged you? Let’s Discuss.

People glamorize all sorts of things but its ALWAYS the finished product. Not the journey to (whatever said thing). It's like you want to where the badge of honor but don’t want the war wounds.
