Queen Talks with Nerra Muhammad

So much swirling around the world wide web and social media and I just had ENOUGH! I thought so much about how I felt while I was married, when I decided to separate, when I decided to go public, to speak my truth, and how it was received. I thought about how I felt throughout the process of it all. I thought about the things people said directly to me, behind my back, or thought but never said aloud. I think about how hard it is to be a goddamn WOMAN! How HARD it is for US to speak OUR truths and how men can go public, write books and talk all about their wild lives, how they cheated on their wives, or were a shark in their field to get ahead and how they are PRAISED for their authenticity and yet the moment that a woman tells HER STORY, HER TRUTH, she becomes the laughing stock of the internet. The woman who is EMBARRASSING her husband and I have some shit to get off my chest!

Let's talk for a minute about…love. Let's talk about not allowing past relationships, hurt, pain, keep us in a place where we're afraid to move forward with our lives or cut ourselves off in love. Let's talk about taking back our power, fighting for ourselves just as hard as we fight for those who love the chase. Let's talk. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/queentalkswithnerra/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/queentalkswithnerra/support

Each year I try to grow, to be a better version of myself than I was the year before. If I take an honest look at myself, I can say that in some ways I have and in other areas, a girl still has work to do! This year, I am all about surrendering to the Divine! Getting out of my own way and making room for what is meant for me and guess what? That shit is hard!

That FUMBLE Sunday cost Lamar Jackson and the Ravens an L after a 4-game win streak! But let's be real, there were MULTIPLE missed opportunities in that game...don't let the Raven's performance be an example of how y'all treating GOOD people in real life!!! Just out here #fumbling good people, good opportunities chance after chance! There's nothing worse than living with a bunch of regrets and bad karma piling on top of you cause trust, there are no blessings in doing people with good intentions dirty. TRUST! That old saying, "Treat people the way you want to be treated," is so real. The universe will not allow you to continually be rewarded when your heart isn't in the right place. When opportunities come knocking, catch that shit and run with it!!

Trauma bonding happens when an abuser uses manipulation tactics and cycles of abuse to make the victim feel dependent on them for care and validation, causing a strong attachment or bond. This often occurs in romantic narcissistic relationships, but can also occur in families, friendships, or work relationships. -Erica Laub This topic needed more than one episode because it's such a heavy topic that so many of us are dealing with and so, this episode is all about recognizing the signs of trauma bonding. As I was posting this to my story, I was thinking I should totally be dropping bombass Playlists to accompany my episodes!!! I just might do that but, my song of the week is "Sober" the acoustic version by Mahalia. Time to be sober and leave behind toxic, trauma induced relationships!

Listen, I know I'm not the only one who has been struggling to get her shit together over these past couple of weeks! Getting the most basic tasks done lately has been so hard and I've just been in a funk that I am dying to get out of! On this week's episode, I identified a few key areas of my life that needed improvement and then offered up tips for myself to use! LOL! Of course I HIGHLY encourage you to do the same! First, identify where you are lacking and/or what needs you have that are not being met. Then, forgive yourself for being where you currently are or in other words, show yourself some GRACE! Up next, come up with SOLUTIONS to your issues, and last but not least, put those babies into practice! And the FINAL step, checking in with yourself periodically to track your progress/growth! I think we can all admit now that burnout is a part of the process of being an adult, we all experience it at one point or another and that's okay. What's not okay is bonding with our traumas and issues. As we close out this year, I want to be sure to tie up any lose ends that I do not want following me in 2022.

Some say that in America, black people don't have a culture. Some say that all other races appropriate black-American culture but they both cannot be true. We in fact do have a very rich culture here in America. Monday-Friday, 3-5pm EST, Farajii Muhammad discusses the culture on Roland Martin's Black Star Network. This week we have him joining us to discuss a recent analysis from none other than Shannon Sharpe of the Undisputed football show, where he discusses the importance of people in the black community correcting one another. We also examined some of the negative influences plaguing our culture, community, and sense of self-worth.

Highlighting personal experiences and the do's and don'ts of "dating" or at the very least, getting in the pants of a woman with substance, Nerra leaves you with relatable content that will also make you laugh. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/queentalkswithnerra/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/queentalkswithnerra/support

This episode I really wanted to culminate all of season 2 and I think I was able to accomplish just that!! For over a decade I have referred to my as the Dragon Slayer or Runaway Slave and it has always been about a mentality of growth mindset before I knew the coined term. I've always known that even in my darkest hours, there's a strength and fire within me that always propels me forward. I wanted to share that energy and that concept of slaying those dragons as they arise in our lives!!! I hope that you all have enjoyed season 2 of "Queen Talks with Nerra" and that you'll go back and listen to episodes you have missed and of course, SHARE, SHARE, SHARE!!!

I shake up most people's views on forgiveness and rightfully so! I'm hoping to leave you ALL feeling empowered after this episode! I used the Bible and what therapists are saying to defend my case and I must say, your girl should have been a lawyer! Lol! Stop forgiving people who aren't sorry and definitely STOP attaching YOUR healing to forgiving your perpetrator! That is classic gaslighting that stems from a white, patriarchal society!

There's power in manifestation. There's power in being able to voice your desires. Speak LIFE to your dreams, your goals, and affirm who you are. If you knew just how powerful your THOUGHTS were, you'd think more positively about yourself, the people around you, the world around. Tell the universe what you want!

ONE month down, ELEVEN months to go! Whether you're feeling accomplished or unaccomplished, KEEP GOING! Transparent moment, this month, this YEAR has started off rough asf! But you know what, when I looked back at my "Work in Progress" planner, I realized that I've actually been working so hard this month! Sometimes we're so busy doing the behind the scenes work, the grunt work that we don't realize how much we're actually growing! I'm encouraging each of the queens and kings who check into the show to purchase a calendar for themselves. Keep track of your progress, strive to be consistent but also show yourself some grace. It was through me looking back at my planner for the month of January that brightened my mood. While I may not have hit the year running in the way that I thought I was, I was completing foundational work and didn't realize it. Pat yourself on the back, run yourself a bubble bath, head to a movie in the middle of the day, get a massage, do SOMETHING FOR YOURSELF! Reaffirm who you are in the mirror daily!

Whether you're the "ghoster" or the "ghostee", you're both going to be left with scars from the "Ghosting Era". Studies show that 80% of millenials have been "ghosted", and 78% have admitted to "ghosting" someone else. And here's the thing, that shit HURTS. In fact, it hurts way worse than simply telling the other person, "I'm not interested." From feelings of confusion, self-doubt, an inability to trust one's own judgment, and so much more!

Realized that I'm tired of living in the shadow of other people's expectations of me. Constantly asking myself the question, which version of me do I need to be? When in reality, I was left feeling like the different versions of myself were in competition with one another instead of accepting myself as a whole being. I am not one thing. I am not smart over sexy nor sexy over smart, I am both with so many other amazing qualities added to that list. The promise I am making to myself and that I am encouraging all queens and kings to do is to love every side of yourself. Accept every side of yourself, stop wasting your precious time and energy trying to shrink yourself to fit the expectations of others. Be your COLORFUL self! We are no longer denying but embracing every part of ourselves or at least trying to. -Nerra Muhammad #love #selflove #colorful #QueenTalksWithNerra #QueenTalks #talk #blackwomen #women #queen #entreprenuer #businesswoman #woman #me #authentic #selfhelp #inspiration #inspirational --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/queentalkswithnerra/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/queentalkswithnerra/support

On this Episode, explore with Nerra, the concept of not trying to make ourselves fit into spaces we don't belong in. Prince Charming should have remembered her face, not been searching for a woman to fit a shoe!!! When it's REAL it's ours, we don't have to fit for it, question it, or be unsure. In 2022, we're not making the shoe fit. We're not sitting at the tables where we aren't truly welcomed and appreciated!!
