Real Talk with Q. Alexander

Certain things are unforgivable. If you can't forgive them, choose to release them. Don't let anyone force you to believe that you have to forgive people. You can choose to release them, heal, and move on.

Join me on this episode as I talk about the difference between misunderstanding and disrespect. Oftentimes you can move past a misunderstanding when you effectively communicate and apologize if needed. Disrespect is crossing the line. Be mindful with your words and actions. There are some things an apology won't fix. I hope this episode helps you or someone you know.

Join me as I talk about National Mentoring Month. A time to recognize mentors all over the world who are making a difference in the lives of others. I also share my own experience as a mentor. I hope you enjoy listening to this episode.

Join me as I talk about a good experience I had with a customer service representative named Tresha at an insurance company. She is by far the best customer service representative that has ever assisted me. If I could give Tresha more than five stars, I would. Thank you, TRESHA!

Join me on this episode as I talk about the importance of speaking up for yourself. I will discuss how the attempt to silence me backfired.

Join me on this episode as I talk about the issues between some women who choose to put other women down while uplifting themselves.

Check yourself and your energy so you can show up better and spread positivity instead of negativity toward other women.

Join me on this episode as I talk about strong people not being treated fairly. Just because someone is strong or appears to be strong doesn't mean they deserve to have the weight of the world put on them. It doesn't mean they don't deserve to be asked if they are okay or if there is anything they need. Strong people. I am proud of you. You are more than enough. You do more than enough. ❤️
