Real Talk with Nene

"Just because you are family DOES NOT mean you get a free pass." Do you have toxic family members? Then this episode is for you! I dive into ways that family members can be toxic - REGARDLESS of being your blood. I also discuss ways to deal with toxic family members, as well as touch on ways (good and bad) individuals cope with toxic members of their family. I am in no way an expert, however I know I drop some gems on this episode that may help someone else. Share with a friend if you have to! STAY CONNECTED WITH NENE!

**NOTE: I touch on depression in this episode which may be a trigger for some people. I suggest if this subject matter bothers you, DO NOT LISTEN** It is SEASON 2! Happy to be back! I wanted to start Season 2 off on a REAL and SERIOUS note. In this episode, I stress the importance of how it is okay to not be okay, to really FEEL your feelings, and go through the stages of grief. I also get really vulnerable in this episode, as I discuss how a situation affected me personally and in various areas of my life. I hope you enjoy. You will also hear my dog Dove trying to make herself known at the end :) STAY CONNECTED WITH NENE!

Graduating from college is a happy time, right? YES! But what about when the stage is walked, tassel is moved, pictures are taken, and family members leave after the weekend? Post-grad blues is one topic that is under-discussed among millennials due to feelings of shame and "wanting to have everything altogether." On this episode, I discuss different perspectives on "post-grad blues" as well as my story going through this same feeling. Listen until the very end, for three pieces of advice I have gained from going through post-grad blues :) STAY CONNECTED!

Five questions are asked and you get to hear both viewpoints! The questions are the following: 1. What is your overall stance on lingerie parties? 2. Do you think someone in a relationship should post themselves on social media in lingerie? 3. Why do you think men have to be invited? 4. Would you ever participate in a "boxers party?" 5. Why do you think these parties have become so popular? Feedback on these questions is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to have your comment/question posted on the podcast Instagram page!
