    With all that has occurred since we first thought to record this episode including the unexpected passing of Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gianna and 7 other passengers of the same helicopter accident,  we couldn't have timed it better than to talk about a subject most avoid until it's too late. Although death or any unexpected loss can leave us shocked, unprepared or stuck in our journey, in Episode 2, Farika B Redux and Lakeda explore and engage this sensitive topic with somberness mixed with the usual Hummingbird Effect Podcast humor so we all can begin to heal.  Listen and learn how our Guest, Aliya Tousana (author of Lulu's Love Letters blog), by sharing her story of loss, can help you to continue moving forward.

    The take away word from 2019 was JOURNEY. Whew chile! But, we don't mind our journey! It's a new year and a new season and we are focused! But not just our own journey, we are also learning major life lessons by exploring and engaging with others about their path too. For Season 3, Farika B Redux and Lakeda are addressing a lot of unchartered as well as familiar subjects discovered along the way. From Hair and Health Issues to their Last Will and Testament (Oooh, scary...), this season will definitely be a journey for us all. There are a lot of vicissitudes in life and this first episode is just the beginning of this zig-zagging flight of the hummingbird.
