Season 2 Episode 11 " We Don't Fold" What is folding?? It's literally something that gives up or gives in it's also something that "WE", refuse to do. In this episode, I interview Ray'Von who happens to be my twenty-one-year-old son and he talks about life from the lens of a young African American young man. We discuss the pressures of social media, dating, mental health, and friends. It used to be enough for me for my children to know that I will fight for what I love & believe in but now I've moved past that and I want them to see me thrive. I'm proud of all three of them!

What is familiarity ?? The dictionary describes it as a quality or state of being familiar. We've all either been in a place or know people that would prefer to stay in very unhealthy environments and or relationships even when it hurts because it's familiar, even after history has shown that there is no honor there. I know that the unknown is scary but it couldn't be worse than being among people who don't honor or respect you . Or worse the demand on you is so rigorous that it's either you or your DESTINY! DO NOT FOLD! God has gone ahead of you you're already okay! You've already WON!!! This episode gives you symptoms of things associated with familiarity and ways to avoid being entrapped in the snares of other people's insecurities, opinions, and envy. Uncomfortable or not YOU BETTER STAND & REMAIN STANDING. It's too expensive not to. Its Not Easy But You Are Built For You This! Now By Might Or Power But By His Spirit!

Have you ever heard the term what I ordered versus what I got?? Well, that was me just a little while ago. I found myself in a marriage with a complete stranger and not a nice one at that. How did I feel?? I'm glad that you asked, I felt confused, angry, frustrated, hurt, scared, perplexed, overwhelmed, and mad as heck. But in the midst of all that I knew that I had a choice, to make. How am I supposed to live through this without dishonoring myself & God? Who do I tell? Should I tell?  How do I make sense of this?? Well luckily God, does not feel overwhelmed by anything, I had to give it to him because it was above me. Abuse is so subtle it doesn't happen all at once but it chips away at your soul. You don't owe it to your abuser to protect them, lie for them, or keep their secrets. It can be detrimental to your mind body & spirit. Join me to have this conversation!

Who Do You Think You Are??  Most time when you hear those questions it's posed in a manner in which we feel like someone is coming for us! Can I challenge you to reconsider? In this episode, I discuss how not asking yourself this question can hinder you. The absence of clarity about who you are will make you sabotage blessings, relationships, gifts, and many other good things. Posing the question positions you to be able to answer the question but also circle back and decide if is it true if is it from God, and does it add to you. God reveals the truth His word says " And You Shall Know The Truth & The Truth Shall Set You Free". Who do you think you are?? You don't have to settle! You've been through too much to be complacent reach grow stretch pray & prevail! You're so necessary !!!! Leave A Review, Rating, Like, Download, Share, Repeat!

This Is a message that I did not know that I would share but since it blessed me. I deemed it share-worthy. My prayer is that it Blesses someone else.

In this episode, I had the pleasure of interviewing my sweet baby, Riya. Now I'm not how soon we'll do this again lol. Nevertheless, it's always a pleasure to hear her talk, and recount good experiences, hearing her perspective helps me to be better. No one really tells you how being a mother challenges your mind, body, and spirit but more than anything she reminds me why growth is imperative for all relationships to flourish. She is my little bestie and my prayer is that she decides to be a world changer! Let your light shine bright!!!!!! I love you!!!! Download Like Share Thank you!

What does the word loose mean to you? When I hear it I hear FREEDOM!! Freedom from all the heaviness that we gather in this world through life and circumstances. If it doesn't serve you it's actually counterproductive for you to continue to hold on to people, places, and or things. What are you a slave to ?? Anything that drives or influences you, owns you. Is it worth it? If not you can lose it & free yourself. Sometimes letting go of a thing seems impossible because you see it as a loss but what if its a gain? What if your unwillingness to go into the unknown has actually as a stumbling block? Let It Go beautiful let it go? Growth, evolving & peace is on the other side of it. You don't have to be the God, of your own life. He can handle it. Trust the process! I see you! Small strides matter & they count! I love you! God Loves You and he wants you to have your best. Reach!

Order of the clips 1-6 I pray it blesses you .

What does intent mean ?? Well the dictionary states that intent is a thing intended aimed for or planned. Putting it lightly it's the desired outcome. Impact is the outcome of whatever you intended to do. There has to be a desire to understand, accept, and correct behavior patterns that impact people in a negative way. Once you identify that you're speaking to a person that desires to be right rather than you find resolve, choose your peace. Examine yourself, learn yourself and make choices that lead to good health. You get to decide how much of you is safe with other people. It's okay to choose you. Listen in and share with me your experience and the things you've done to get better.

Are you a healthy mom?? What is a healthy mom?? I would say that it's subjective to all of us . We all have our own needs, and desires, how can someone as dope as you be categorized or put in a box?  Just because one person desires or needs more or less of a particular thing it does not classify them as a  bad mother. Learn Yourself!!! Communicate your needs decide who & what is healthy for you and add or subtract as needed. The days of asking to be heard honored or respected is no more. Once you start mattering to you it has a rippled effect and you'll know how to move. Leave a review,  Download, Like, Share!!!!! 

What is your Purpose? That's a daunting question especially when you have not begin to unpack it, the brighter side of that is that you're probably already in the neighborhood but because its not yet developed you wouldn't describe it as such. Your purpose is the reason that you were born & we all have one, all assigned to leave our imprints in this world! Be it teaching, preaching, dancing, singing, if it speaks life into you & others it matters. Then there is so much beauty in know that you've offered someone else hope, that you've aided someone else to keep going, that it was your kindness that gave hope.  There are people that I don't recall names or faces because our encounters were brief however some were catalyst to many different parts of my healing journey. My way of paying homage to those that I may never see or speak to again is to be to them what they were to me. Just because your're purposed for something does not mean that it will not accompany obstacles. A great man once looked me dead in the eye when I was in a low spot & said don't leave before the miracle happens. So Glad I listened. Listen In Share Your Testimonies It helps it Matters.

This episode is on colorism, colorism is  a form of racism within the same race against darker skinned people. The premise of this is to oppressed darker toned people which leads to divisiveness, comparison, prejudices as well as low self-esteem, anxiety, and a depression. Different does not mean better, best, or not good it literally means different. Sometimes change starts with a willingness to change our perspective, I would like to believe that if we knew that things were damaging or hurtful to our fellows that we would be more intentional to not cause more harm! You're enough you always have been, You are not too much, your're likely in the wrong crowd! Your'e Brilliant, don't down play that! You were born to shine, don't allow someone else's ignorance or insecurities to make you dim your light. It can't be suppressed it's a Godly light !!! You shine By Accident!!! Be Kind to one another Break up with unhealthy beliefs!!! 

Quick up Date

What is Colorism how does it effect us?

Have you ever experienced betrayal, I mean we all have right but when it comes from a companion that you love, nurtured, defended it cuts deeper doesn't it?  Perhaps shifting your perspective can assist you on your healing journey. What if God, allowed it not to hurt you but to protect you, there isn't many things as dangerous as sitting among an enemy unknowingly. You're okay, you're too dope to be tolerated choose to be around people that loves you for you and not what you can do for them. Your wins bring them joy like it's theirs and in times of hardship you won't have to request prayers they've already taken your burdens to Jesus ! You deserve better & maybe you can't see it today, but soon enough you will. You ladder days will be better than your former! God thought enough of you to remove your foes prior to you elevation!!

Some betrayals were necessary

This episode speaks about  how life has a way of  throwing us all curve balls, some balls are easier to catch than others. I've questioned myself how am I going to manage this and maintain integrity & dignity? How in the world did I even land in this place? I could ask myself those questions over & over, but it wouldn't do much of anything in terms of assisting me into progressing. So one day at a time I accepted my present circumstances, the why became secondary to my need & desire to find peace. The things that I would normally encourage my loved ones to do, I had to take my own advice. I decided to be kind to myself, I decided not to repay evil with evil, I decided to talk to people that I trusted rather than keep everything all bottled up. I decided to trust God & thank him for his revelation and protection. I decided that I was not a victim but actually chosen, to take this experience and as I heal from it  also allowed it to minister to other people. (Especially Women) God opened doors that no man can shut, he provided for me, he gave me peace, he helped me to forgive and I am nothing short of victorious .

In a culture where people are taught to avoid negative emotions, self-image could become distorted and biased. In today's episode, we'll be discussing self-awareness and not letting other people's opinions dictate your behavior or emotions. We'll also be talking about manipulation, which a lot of people suffer from without them being aware of it. It is both exhausting for the person doing it and the people around them.

In this Episode I have the opportunity to sit down with my mom and see life through her eyes now that I am an adult. Her candidness is just enough humor, just enough wisdom, but more than anything I'm grateful to say THANK YOU! I don't think I was able to see my mom's humanity when I was just a girl. I had no idea that she was stressed, struggling, scared or just down right tired. I often wonder how different things could have potentially had she let me see her beauty marks which is some of the scars you attain on your journey of becoming you. No doubt I'm clear on where my strength & love for God comes from. Through your prayers & my coming to know God personally when I say eyes have not seen & ears have not heard The things which God has prepared for those who love him! Tune in show this beauty some love!!!!

Episode 2 titled mental health for the voiceless. There is a negative stigma that is associated with Mental Health that discourages people from admitting that they are struggling mentally. Sometimes is cultural sometimes it's spiritual either way its really dangerous, suffering in silence does not help it helps. Asking for help requires humility which requires strength, your healing is not just for you . Its for your children and grandchildren unlearning unhealthy coping mechanisms is no cake walk but as long as you choose it daily your own your way. Mental Health effects every part of your being mind body & soul. Therapy works, God heals, there is no shame in needing outside assistance or having to take medication that stabilizes you.

Episode 1 discusses who is Rose, the whole person. In this episode I give details on how my unhealed  heart & brokenness lead me down a path of destructive and poor decision making. Absolutely no idea who I was or where I was going, just a girl at heart that felt unheard unseen and  took all of my pain with me, which effected how I saw myself and the rest of the world. Three kids, divorced, and now an alcoholic, what looked like it was my bottom like I was completely done finished, God reached his unchanging hand down towards me "his daughter", and this time I reached back & that is where I found peace, unconditional love, and a shift in how I saw me. Learning that God loved & chose me despite of me and it changed my whole life! I am a better person because of all my mishaps, I love different, I want to understand more.  I realized that secrets makes us sick and my idle thoughts in the mist of my brokenness lead to unhealthy thinking like depression and suicide. I'm grateful to God for holding on to me & everyone that has poured into me on my journey of healing. I'm grateful for for the mishaps as well because I got to much fight in me to ever fold!

Episode 6 Myself & a few of my girlfriends talked about our experiences of what dating after divorce & after 30 was like for us. We discuss what we've learned about ourselves, how some of our thought process were formed by environments and the generations ahead of us. We've learned the importance of self-care, and how loving yourself prior to attempting to love someone else is imperative. Experiences are only a loss when you walk away without learning anything from them.  If  the pain of a things helps you to love & appreciate yourself better, refuse settle, and learn your worth then I see it as beauty for ashes.

Episode 5 goes over the different versions of abuse, surprisingly society seems to be really bias of which forms of abuse is socially acceptable. When in truth all forms of abuse is wrong, hurtful, requires healing, and can be dangerous mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and financially. None of it is okay it all leads to depression, anxiety, ptsd, suicidal thoughts, suicide& homicide.  We have to get out of being so indifferent that we out right refuse to call wrong wrong. It further traumatizes the victim silencing them, making them feel hopeless, and responsible for the actions of another adult. I don't care to be politically correct I want to be just, fair, and be a voice of one that can't be a voice for herself right now. Physical Abuse wrong Emotional Abuse wrong, Cyber abuse wrong, Sexual Abuse wrong, Mental Abuse wrong, Verbal abuse wrong.  It's all done to manipulate, intimidate, control and suffocate the victim.

In this episode, I share my experience with forgiveness and how the lack of it can negatively impact our mental, emotional, & physical health in addition to perverting other relationships. Forgiveness offers keys, liberation, and an opportunity to to cultivate healthy relationships.  Self assessments, accountability partners, and working towards the goal of healing are the things that dismantle bitterness & resentment. Unforgiveness increases the likeliness of depression, anxiety, that can let to physical elements like hypertension, weak immune system, cardio vascular disease which can lead to premature death. Un-forgiveness is too expensive because it robs you of joy, peace, and love.  It's not easy task but it's definitely worth it. You deserve every good and perfect thing that God has for you.

She urges listeners not to stay in abusive relationships and to seek help if they are struggling. Rose also emphasizes that abuse is abuse, no matter what form it takes. She talks about her experience as a teenager when she was sexually assaulted, and how it was the hardest thing for her to deal with.

Mental health is something that is often spoken about in hushed tones, and it's something that many people are afraid to discuss. But talking about mental health is not only important, it's essential. It's the beginning of a journey, and it's the first step on the path to recovery. In this episode, I want to talk about anxiety and depression. These are conditions that can affect anyone, no matter their gender or age. And although they may seem like difficult problems to solve, they're actually things that you can overcome with the right help. A lot of us gravitate towards careers because we feel like we're supposed to be providing for our families, and then we end up sacrificing our personal lives. So it's important that we have these conversations with our loved ones so they know that it's okay to need a break. It's okay to need some space. There are millions of us, and you don't have to do this alone.

It is an opportunity to learn about yourself and especially when you're talking to someone that does not have a biased perception of you, even if it's uncomfortable for your growth." - Rose Bonds "I'm not saying that you should broadcast what you're struggling with on a public forum, but I'm saying that there should be one or two, three or four good people that you can have a good cry with, that you can be completely honest and transparent with that."- Rose Bonds "If you raise a child and they're great, you can brag about their GPA and all of their accomplishments. How is their heart? How is their mind doing? How do they communicate?"- Rose Bonds "When you refuse to open your mouth, when you refuse to talk, you have allowed shame and guilt to put you in bondage. And a lot of us have the keys in our pocket for freedom, and we won't take them out. We won't stick them in a lock and we won't twist it."- Rose Bonds
