Conversations with Jess

It's a celebration! Clap clap bravo! What better way to celebrate my birthday than to reflect and share some of the greatest lessons I've learned on my journey thus far! Tune in as I share some funny moments to the not so funny rock bottom moments …as we wrap up this season before summer break!!!

We all have “haters” even the Queen Bee , Beyoncé has haters (but that's a topic for another day) the question isn't whether or not we have haters but asking ourselves how can we utilize our haters (and yes you read that correctly) to ultimately be the best version of ourselves …tune in to hear more …

What the heck is going on?! Wasn't it just Christmas yesterday!!! How did we get to Q2 already?! Anywho we're here now but it's more important now than ever to not drop the ball and become complacent in our consistencies…let's continue to make 2025 our year! Are you ready? PRESS PLAY ▶️

It's February, which means it's the month of love which means we're either celebrating or hating haha but either way let's explore how truly doing the work on ourselves can help find our true love… in the words of one of my favorite girl groups 702, where my [boo] at? Lol

Remember that episode of Girlfriends… “operation does he yield?” (Fun fact: This is one of my favorite episodes) where Joan played by the amazing Tracee Ellis Ross and her friends come up with an elaborate scheme to get her man back? Well yielding can be beneficial for more than just bringing back your boo…yielding believe or not in its truest definition can be so vital and instrumental in carrying out the vision you have for your life for 2025!!! Let's explore together in this episode how learning to YIELD, can help you accomplish your goals and dreams!

I recently heard the term "isolation season" and it had me wondering, is this "isolation season" thing good or bad? I thought maybe we could have a conversation about how seasons like this can do more good that harm in our lives by both raising and answering the question: "do you love you"?

We've done the work and laid down the foundation now its time to reap the benefits of what we have sown and declare that this will be our best year yet! This year, 2024,is our YEAR OF JUBILEE!!!"

We've all questioned ourselves, whether we're doing too much or too little or simply nothing at all… let's navigate this space to see what the pros and cons are of doing too much…

Its September! And Its Fall! Which means it's definitely a time of transformation and new beginnings! What intentions are you setting for this season?

Ever wondered what all hype was about when it comes to yoga? Is it just a trend or are there real actual health benefits?… listen in on this conversation with Yogi Jenni Lydell and I as we talk about all things YOGA! & Health

In this day and age it's important to prioritize and practice self care! Let's talk about it…is it all just a bunch of bs? (Yeah I said it! ) is it just for women? Is it costly? Listen in and feel free to chime in on this conversation with a returning guest, my friend as we explore “self care” : the good bad and ugly!

I've realized every year my New Year's resolution has been just me striving towards a goal not necessarily manifesting completion or living in a state of completion . This year let's live like we've already won! Like the mission is already complete and we're just enjoying the ride! Let's manifest completion of all goals and dreams! Here's to 2023!

What are the little habits good bad and or ugly that are affecting your life either positively or negatively…

We tend to get comfortable in our complacencies…lets chat about what that means and how to get unstuck!

Do you believe there's one person out there for everyone? Do you believe in "the one" or "your person"? Lets chat....what are your thoughts.

Some of you may not know that I used to perform poetry and spoken word. I go by the name of "Zuri" which is Swahili for "beautiful". This month being that it is Black History Month, and the month of Looooveeeee, I decided to share my poem "BLACK" in a special podcast episode. Enjoy!

Before we can jump into 2022! lets take a step back to reflect on the hits and misses of 2021...what did last year teach us about ourselves, our relationships with others, and how we can set boundaries (refer to previous podcast episode "BOUNDARIES") to create more peace to breed success in 2022!

Its 2022! Time to hit the ground running and claim everything you want in the new year! LEGGgggggoooo!!!

Self care isn't just about massages, mani&pedis, wine and bubblebaths (all things I love btw) but self care comes in many forms including setting up healthy boundaries! Lets explore how to establish healthy boundaries in our relationships from work to friends to bae. 

We're on summer hiatus but I thought I'd pop in with a special summer edition episode: "What About Your Friends?" where we talk about the importance of building and maintaining healthy relationships with the people in your life. 

Join in on the conversation on how important it is to bring back the sexy or to channel your inner sexy if you've never had it....whatever stage you're in lets Get Yo Sexy Back!!!!
