FredTalx

As I get ready to wrap up the third season of FredTalx, I leave you with this gift- a bonus episode. This episode was taken from a panel I participated on, along with three other Black men, hosted by Jessica (of Jess Talks). I enjoyed meeting these brothas and being a part of my sister's show. Listen in as we confirm, debunk and wrestle with some ideas projected onto Black Men. *of course, the ideas presented in this episode are not the full representation of Black Male Thought; these are OUR own thoughts and you'll notice that even among us panelist, we don't 100% with each position held by another brother. We understand we are not a monolith and leave space for diversity of thought. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/fredtalx/message

"Finding Your Purpose" is a topic that has been addressed over and over again. There have been conferences, books and volumes of other types of work performed in an attempt to help people crystallize and realize their purpose. It's only right that I chime in as well. In this episode I caution against being too rigid and narrow in our understanding of our purpose as our purpose is more dynamic than static. Take a listen.

If you haven't discerned it already, this episode will highlight Shaunee's inner strength and her heart for God and people. Because of the experiences she has persevered through, she is able to meet women at whatever station they are at, walk with them and give them a nudge to get to where God would have them arrive. Get ready to laugh with us.. Get ready to rewind the podcast, like "did they just say that", Get ready to contemplate with us...You might even get angry with/at us.

Now that you've warmed up to my guest and friend, Shaunee Brannan, have a seat, and get ready for some raw truth sprinkled with levity. We continue with part two of the three-part series with Mrs. Shaunee Brannan.   She is the author behind the family, fun, faith, and fashion based blog: www.prayersandpunchlines.com · In 2017, she released her book “Hi Insecurity, BYE Insecurity” which is an insanely transparent book guaranteed to facilitate healing for anyone wrestling with this common issue. The book is available on Amazon. · She has graced the stage as a back of singer for legends like Fred Hammond · Her and her husband released their own worship project, Heaven on Earth (also available for purchase on Amazon). · I’m confident that as you listen over the next three weeks, that you’ll agree that to know her, is to love her. This is why she is such an effective pastor alongside her husband Gayle Brannan. Together they are powerhouse and if I could summarize their ministry in two words, those words would be 1. Relational and 2. Transformational. Get ready to LAUGH heartily with us, as we have an honest conversation about many of the topics that have been TABOO in the church for too long. Over the next few weeks, we’ll be taking an nontraditional, but practical look at: · The relationship between the church and politics · The (institutional) church’s responsibility to speak truth to power, especially as it relates to social injustice · Body shame · Parenting · Therapy · Boundaries · Abortion · Politics and women’s rights · Much, much more I hope you enjoy the series as much as I enjoyed the dialog!

You all are in for a treat! Today we’ll begin a three-part series with Mrs. Shaunee Brannan.

In this episode, I discuss why we should penalize interlopers who litter in/on our well manicured lawn. Of course, the lawn is a metaphor for our minds. It is our responsibility to guard and till the garden of our minds especially since the experiences we manifest, the lens we craft and the people we attract to us have a lot to do with our mentality and outlook.  It is not benign to entertain every global or local tragedy- ESPECIALLY- if we don't have the wherewithal to remedy the situation.   Awareness is one thing, but obsession or immersion is another thing altogether. Be balanced. Steward your energy and attention because the present moment and the things in your purview require it of you.  There is no virtue, longevity or wisdom in championing EVERY. SINGLE. CAUSE, just because someone informs you about it. Our lamenting and anger, if not coupled with resolve and action, has not reached it's highest purpose.  If you like this episode, please share, review and subscribe.

Everyday, it becomes more apparent that the world needs peacemakers. If you're tempted to dismiss this episode because you think this is about playing nice or being docile as we move about, then you're absolutely WRONG (and clearly, haven't been listening to how I get down in the first two seasons LOL).  The world needs people who have [finally] made peace with reality and themselves. Out of that unwaivering authenticity, they are the ones who will make the greatest impact and the highest contribution. They've done the work. Therefore, they are well adjusted to handle chaos AND peace. They can stand flatfooted in any situation and say, unapologetically and unequivocally, "I AM that I AM". Enjoy this episode as you level up. Remember, "blessed are the peacemakers" ;) --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/fredtalx/message

Today we kick the third season of FredTalx off and while there is no shortage of bad news on every outlet, I want to disrupt that programming and inject some hope. Not the superficial hope, but something you can sink your teeth into. Yes, we are all facing a serious situation. Yes, we should be taking necessary precaution. Yes loss has been experienced BUT, it may not be the end of the world as some have prematurely declared…or, on the other hand, it JUST may be the end of the world in completely different sense- and THAT COULD BE A GOOD THING! ***NOTE: Hang in there with me on this episode. I do cite the bible quite a bit in this episode but it's to extinguish the same fear that others are creating by weaponizing the bible. I do this by contextualizing some of the often quoted text used every time someone wants to declare God's judgment. Hopefully, we can put that to rest with this episode.  I’d love to have your feedback after you listen to the episode.

Welcome back! This is the final installment to the @Soft Black Girl series. As we wrap up,  Jasmyin delves further into the dynamics of polarity and the "magic" of feminine energy. She shares with us some of her role models of femininity and gets real transparent by showing us how the universal truths of polarity and masculine/feminine energy play out in her home. Last week, she shared ways men can help their lady to relax more into their feminine, in this episode she shares how women can step back in such a way that the man will step up into a more masculine essence. She shares the ins/outs of being a wife, mother and running a homeschool (and how homeschooling is revolutionary), her spiritual evolution from her Christian upbrining to where she stands now and what precipitated the change. This, and much more.  Be sure to check for Jasmyin and her @SoftBlackGIrl products and events at www.thesoftblackgirl.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/fredtalx/message

In this episode, we continue the conversation with creator of Soft Black Girl, Jasmyin Davis. We discuss a range of topic such as traditional norms in relationships, how women can challenge their man to step up and how, by stepping up, men allow their lady to melt into a soft and secure feminine place.  Additionally, we investigate how the parenting we were raised under, may have normalized behaviors that don't serve us in achieving the relational polarity that many aspire to. In addition to the romantic component and the parenting component, we discuss how to raise boys who are both, secure in their masculine frame as well as emotionally competent and expressive enough to remain attuned with themselves and those they are in relationship with....that and MUCH much more!

Jasmyin Davis wears many hats but all of them flow from her standing firmly in her feminine energy as a *Soft Black Girl. She challenges us to see and celebrate more feminine expressions of strength that women bring to the table. Fellas, this is not just a series for the ladies.

We' still ouchea! Still talking about relationship tips. In this episode I deal delicately with the disconnect observed between generations.  I've witnessed enough to know that binary thinking is a trap; it's never EITHER/OR..it's usually BOTH/AND. This is true  when it comes to esteeming our Elders and the traditions they hold dear as well as celebrating the innovation of emerging leaders.  We desperately need the wisdom of our elders and sometimes we are at odds because we are not listening to each other's stories and his-stories with an ear to hear. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/fredtalx/message

I don’t even wanna wax philosophical or take the circuitous route to get to the point.... “WHAT ARE YOU BUILDING”? What are you constructing? Cause if it's only criticism, you might just be a hater. Don't worry there is a cure for that- build your own. People who take ownership as the architect of their own lives are too busy constructing to be critiquing or entertaining the criticism of others.

"Lemonade was a popular drink and it still is..."- GangStarr. Challenges are common.  The temptation to quit is common.  It's not uncommon however, for people to quit because the building blocks of success are not sexy- they usually involve a lot of monotony, repeating the same processes until mastery.  Winners know how to take the bitter taste of boredom or disappointment and sweeten it and even sell it as a nice glass of lemonade.   Ask Queen B who actually made an album delineating how she took lemons an made lemonade.  Hope this encourages you.

This interview wasn't scheduled to be released for a few weeks but it seemed serendipitous that just a few hours after our lively conversation about how essential Doula’s are - especially to the health and wellbeing of black mothers and surmising why the lack of representation, that I stumbled across Today’s New York Post’s Morning report referring to and minimizing doulas as mere accessories. I couldn't just sit on the interview for a few weeks, I had to let it go. This is just the first installment of the hilariously informative conversation and meet the Dope Doula herself, Calvis Jones Williamson.

In this episode, I share my "why" behind launching a podcast; why even though the podcast could be more polished, I could not sit on it any longer. I pay homage to the church for helping me find confidence in public speaking as well as share some of the reasons I intentionally created some distance between myself and the institutional church. I share how, sometimes you cannot dismiss the thing that you were naturally wired to do; instead you need to change your approach or change/broaden your audience, continue doing what you love and find fulfillment. Lastly, I challenge you to discover or return to the passion project you were supposed to be working on. I hope this episode inspires you to get back to business.
