The Facts About “Passion vs. Getting your Bills paid” As we get older we stray away from the activities, the music, and sometimes the food that makes us happy, just so that we can survive in this world.

Once we get caught up in paying bills and trying to survive we forget about our passion, purpose, and dreams.

Facts about “making mistakes” sometimes in life we have to learn that we are human and we are not always going to get every single thing right on the first try because of lack of information. But once the mistake happens it is up to you to determine what you are going to do with that new information. Mistakes happen, how will you manage them? Why does there have to be a specific age on when women decide to get married? Being married at 25 seems really unrealistic. Please stop putting this pressure on women to be married when that's something they may not want.

everyone loves to travel right? but no one likes to unpack after they come back from vacation, it’s necessary so we can wash our clothes, make sure our house is back in order after we had all this fun. so that’s we what we are gonna do on this episode. and there is a lot to unpack lol first let’s start off with sincerity (the action of being sincere) and then we visit projection which many of us deal with and don’t know we dealing with it because we still don’t know how to take accountability and haven’t learned about the proper tools of fixing our own mess. now lets move on to attachment and detachment, ask yourself is it really that deep? chix that mix is October 28th 3-6pm kaffeine coffee social media instagram: @factsoflifepodcast twitter: @factsoflifepod

Welcome back to another episode of Facts of Life. This week is about minding your business and finding a balance in being too friendly. Kanye West has been a huge topic of discussion lately in the Hip Hop community because of his politic choices, some say he's doing it to market his album, some say he's mentally and ill. And me on the other hand... stay tuned for the rest of the episode to find out how I feel about Mr. West lol. As I'm on this journey of mastering my higher self, I'm noticing a lot of changes. One of them being more friendlier than usual. My questions to the listeners this week is there a thing as being too friendly? How do you find a balance in being friendly and also laying down the law.

After two months Facts of Life is back!!! Sometimes in life, we need a break. And this break was much needed for my personal life. The goal of this podcast is to help one another. In order to help you, must first help myself. With that being said we have a lot to catch up on. I had to find a job, got fired, lost friends and much more!

Sometimes in life we get to a point where we want to give up, and as a creative if you haven't said "f this I ain't doing this no more" I don't know if I can trust you. I want to be as honest as possible when it comes to my personal life, professional life, and creative life. I really wanted to take a break from doing the show because lets be honest, I wasn't feeling it. Over the weekend Facts of Life hosted our first networking event/meetup in Houston for female creatives and that interaction gave me the motivation to keep going. Thank you ladies! Lets talk about breaking the cycle this week and being the bigger person, I'm working through both of these things as we speak lol.
