Life Together with Kay Dee

It's important not to talk yourself out of trying that new thing. Let me tell you why…in this episode.

Your time is coming. Stay encouraged!

Listen…community, mentorship and family (chosen or biological) are powerful and essential factors in our growth journey.

Listen…in life, we must play the long game when it comes to so many things. Good things take time. But when the come, it's so worth it.

“Maintaining” is SO underrated. It's actually super helpful.

Perspective on growing where you are on the way to where you're going.

Maintaining faith through it all.

Middle age & beyond does NOT mean you're finished. On the contrary, you've got TONS to contribute! And you deserve to THRIVE in this season. Let this episode rekindle your inner fire.

Today we celebrate Dr. King and his legacy. Let's discuss how we can go beyond posting a sunny quote on social media and go deeper to make a difference.

With so many voices out there, it's easy to become overwhelmed. How do you wisely curate which voices you allow to speak into your life? Let's chat.

This week we talk about setting your intention for the NEW YEAR

How quieting your mind can help reduce stressful and overthinking.

Strategy for how to gain momentum to reach goals big and small

How to move past discouragement on your personal success journey.

There are times throughout life where we must transition from one phase to another, or one iteration to another. Those seasons of transition often include processing a multitude of emotions, making life adjustments and even involve going through stages of grief. We'll talk about how to move through this season successfully.

Like John Mayer says, “even if your hands are shaking, and your faith is broken…do it with a heart wide open, Say what you need to say.” Too often we hold things in to our own detriment. I encourage you to honor yourself and speak your truth.

Is it what they hype it up to be (money, fame, luxury) OR is it something deeper and more personal? Let's explore.

WELCOME to FLOWER Podcast where we grow, thrive & heal! Previously known as Life Together with Kay Dee. We've revamped and are coming at you with new life! Have you ever been in a place of limbo? One that requires you to rest & figure some things out? If this is you…let's talk about how to handle.
