Guilt is when we have done something wrong to someone or even to yourself and you feel bad. Guilt compels you to apologize, "I am sorry for what I did, I was wrong." SHAME is dangerous because you believe that you are the wrong, the ugly, the unworthy. It is a harming thing! What are you ashamed of? Why? Have you ever thought of healing those scars? Are you aware of them? I am not a counselor or therapist. I am a woman who is and has traveled down so many roads that I have learned to spot my brokenness and it is the stuff that prevents us all from Living Out Loud!

Ladies, What makes you - YOU? What do you know about yourself for sure? This season will lead us into conversations and revelations. We will deal with it all...Divorce, Singleness, Marriage, Abuse, education, the violence our contest, our skin, racism, colorism, and everything that makes us, us.

The title for the season is lifted from the movie, "Claudine", the song sung by Gladys Knight and originally sung by Curtis Mayfield, is poetic and begs the question - What is the making of us? The song reminds me of "Us" beautiful women not quite aware of who beautiful we are. Not understanding that EVERY experience is what has made us who we are-God gives us beauty for our ashes. We are going deeper this season in the safe space of LOL; LIVING OUT LOUD, in order to be boldly who we are. Remember to grab your Girls, a Drink, and your journal.

In light of all that is going on in our country and throughout the world as a result of the protest against the murders of Black lives by the Police, I would be remiss if I did not take amount to have us consider how racism and micro-aggressions affect how we feel about ourselves.

It is hard to Live Out Loud and to be our best and most authentic self until we can answer the question, Who am I? I am asking the question without assuming I know the answer. I am inviting you and your girls to grab your journal and a drink and get ready to LOL with me. This podcast is not a place where I act as if I have the answers and have my stuff altogether, but rather it is a place where I hope we can all reflect honestly about where we are as women and where we want to be. At the end of every episode is a Writing Prompt for you to develop in your journal.

I am welcoming a guest and we will discuss what Self-Love is and means to her? What does it mean to you? The Writing Prompt from the last episode was, What do you want?
