Leah and Jason are back! During some much-needed time away Leah has learned how much communicating with others can lead to people creating taglines in real life to introduce themselves. Reducing yourself into a tagline can help to identify a small part of you, but it doesn't accurately articulate the nuance and beauty of who you truly are.

#championsofdiscourse #takeupspacepod #ultimatimWhat would you do if the person you're dating gives you an ultimatum on the 3rd date? Is it easy for you to leave jobs or relationships that don't serve you?Leah and Jason discuss the harms of making decisions from a scarcity mindset. Sometimes we hold on so tight to what we have, we assume that things will never get better than 'this'. There's always going to be something on the horizon. You just have to let it go to get there.Follow our guest!https://www.instagram.com/jj_newberry/https://twitter.com/jj_newberry

#championsofdiscourse #takeupspacepod #whoiszordonLeah and Jason discuss the benefits of having a network of people who are knowledgeable in various fields of study. We know what we know and that's all we know. However, if we connect with different people in an array of fields, our connection to knowledge would be far greater than the "research" we'd do on our own. Also, what is Zordon's backstory? How come he can't fight? Why did he need teenagers with attitude?Follow our guest!https://www.instagram.com/jj_newberry/https://twitter.com/jj_newberry

Jason and Leah start the episode talking about the common color-coded tropes in movies within the Black community. Then they discuss the impacts of transactional relationships and how quickly it can escalate into manipulative relationships. People are not commodities that appreciate and depreciate with time or life events. The idea of a high-value person also leans the other way. Value is so subjective and should not be the sole barometer used to identify a partner.Follow our guest!https://www.instagram.com/jj_newberry/https://twitter.com/JJ_Newberryhttps://www.tiktok.com/@jj_newberry?lang=en

#championsofdiscourse #takeupspacepod #careerdevelopmentLeah was offered an opportunity to expand her business and growth her skillset.
