Kickin’ it with Colette

Continuing with the season 2 topic of Love, this episode we're talking about the B-word, Boundaries. I've touched on boundaries in almost every episode this season but this time I made it the focus. I'm joined with the inspiring and animated Tykia Key as my cohost. In true KIWC fashion, this episode is full of song lyrics and movie references. You're gonna laugh and you're gonna learn.

In this episode, I'm chatting with the founder of Nevermore Creative, Raven Ariana. (Sidebar: I really hope you grasp the awesome literally reference here). Raven and I discuss lessons learned by “digging through her archives of hurt.” As Khalil Gibran writes in his book The Prophet, “For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he also for your pruning.” But don't worry, this episode is still full of laughs because joy and sorrow often walk hand in hand. I pray this conversation brings you hope and healing.

In this episode, I attempted to continue the conversation on love be we ended going down several rabbit holes. It's a good thing though because we picked up some nuggets along the way. Sometimes the journey is the destination. (That seems to be the running theme of my life.) We touched on some controversial topics and some unpopular opinions. It's okay to disagree, just be civil about it. This conversation was so rich that I had to split the recording into 2 episodes so stay tuned for part 2.

Continuing on with the theme of love, in this episode we're talking about philio, b.k.a friendship. Making friends can be hard but keeping friends is even harder. My 2 co-hosts and I talk about the difference between friends and associates, what makes a friend, and friendship breakups. The love between friends can be a beautiful thing when done right and deep pain that's rarely talked about when that bond is broken. I'm also learning to do friendship differently by learning the skill of Relational Intelligence. I titled this episode after the TLC song because the lyrics are fitting and hit differently as an adult.  Co-hosts: Iyanu Adeleke and Anonymous Ashley Book References: Relational Intelligence by Dr. Dharius Daniels --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/colette-randall/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/colette-randall/support

This episode I'll be discussing the movie Encanto with my first special guest/cohost, my sister, Christen! (How appropro to be discussing a movie about family with family.) There will definitely be spoilers so listen at your own discretion. My sister is also a mom so you'll hear a brief cameo by my adorable nephew who I lovingly refer to as Thing 2. Keeping in line with the previous episode we'll also be exploring familial love. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/colette-randall/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/colette-randall/support

I'm back! After taking a year off I'm warming up the mic again. This season 2 premier episode is all about one of my core values, LOVE. Since it's February it seems like the appropriate topic. It's also Black History Month and I'm Black so by listening to this you're hitting 2 birds with one stone! There's more to love than what you see in rom coms. Listen in as I attempt to discuss the other aspects of love. I made a pronunciation error that I need to correct. The author of The Prophet is Khalil Gibran, not Gabrill. The other books mentioned are The 4 Loves by CS Lewis, All About Love by bell hooks, Let Love Have the Last Word by Common, The Road Less Traveled by M. Scott Peck, and Relational Intelligence by Dr. Dharius Daniels. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/colette-randall/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/colette-randall/support

Well folks, we’ve come to the end of 2020 and the end of season 1! Season 2 will resume in 2021. As we look forward to the new year, I challenge you to do something differently. If you want to see change then you have to change.

What is happening in 2020!? Right when you thought it couldn’t get any worse here come the political commercials. It’s especially problematic in Georgia because of this senate run off race. And what’s the deal with only having 2 political parties? It’s time to fix that cause we need options and I may have the solution. Kick back an listen to this week’s episode. Find me on Instagram @1800_Colette. I’d love to hear your thoughts.

In this episode I share my thoughts on freedom. What is true freedom? What does freedom look like? How does one get free? How do you stay free?

We can all agree that 2020 has been crazy. What has been the most shocking and disappointing to me is the response from the church. I don’t have all the answers but we can’t fix it if we don’t talk about it.

In this episode I talk about asking more questions instead of accepting everything we hear and see.

After posting episode 2 about gardening, I thought of a few more life lessons I learned from nature. To be honest my garden isn’t flourishing like I anticipated. But I recently discovered some new sprouts that have given me renewed hope. We could all use some hope these days so kick back and listen to this week’s episode.

Who is Colette anyway? In this episode I give listeners a glimpse of who I am. From growing up in South Carolina to HBCU life to resigning from my engineering job at 29 years old. This is the story of Colette!

Corona got us doing things we never thought we’d do. In this episode I talk about my new Rona hobby, gardening! Definitely didn’t see that I didn’t see coming. ***Song references: Blessings- Lecrae ft. Ty$; 8:28- Lecrae***

For my very first episode I‘ll be talking about the hit musical, Hamilton! I identify the main difference between Hamilton and Burr, talk about my favorite songs, and little nuisance moments you may have missed. ***Song references: Hamilton soundtrack-original Broadway cast; The Blessing- Elevation Worship; Electric Boogie (1990) Marcia Griffiths***
