In this heart-to-heart, I sit down with political strategist, and community organizer, Shianne Winston, for a vulnerable discussion about how it's important for us to step out of our own ego to better ourselves in our relationships with others. In a cancel and cut-off culture, the art of communication, patience, understanding and healthy feedback has been lost. It's refreshing to sit down and acknowledge the human reality of valuing relationships and caring about how those we work and interact with frequently understand us. We are all connected, and it can be important to remember what it takes for us to live in harmony. We both chat about learning through the feedback of others, or the ending of valuable relationships, which has propelled us to be more effective in our personal relationships today. You can follow Shianne on instagram @shismithwins . This is an episode from the vault, so it was recorded some time ago. Since recording this episode, Shianne has wedded her partner.

This is our last episode of the Gifts of Grief series, and we're ending with reflections on fulfillment. The question is, how do you define fulfillment? Join me as I discuss how my various experiences of grief have helped me define fulfillment for me, especially as I think about relationships, joy, gratitude, the sweetness of existence, experiences, and purpose. Some people never even experience fulfillment or contentment in their lives, so how can it be something we reach for? How can we use loss or challenge to help guide our path to fulfilling lives?

In today's episode, we discuss what it means to have, create and maintain valuable relationships. I've learned that you can learn a lot about the strength of a friendship when death is in the picture. In my experience, people can leave when you need them most, but some people show up greatly. I've also noticed differences in how friends of the deceased show up after they've died. Everyone grieves differently; however, these experiences have led me to think about the significance of relationships and how we treat the ones that seem most valuable to us.

Today we're going deep, ya'll. My recent experience of witnessing a loved one's deep hopelessness at the end of life got me really grateful for my hope, fervency, and connection to both life and a sense of purpose. So today, we're reflecting on the question, how do you see life and purpose? More specifically, how would you define what it means to "live" or even live a "well-lived" life? What are your thoughts on purpose? Do you know yours? What does it mean to live in or on purpose? I'm sharing with you, what's important to me: experiences, love, peace, health, and purpose. For me, I chose purpose due to my own story, but we'll talk about that once you tap in. Let's stay connected!

This is our first episode of the Gifts of Grief series. In today's episode, I'm exploring questions connected to "legacy" that may arise when reflecting on life after someone dies. Questions like: how do others see me? How do I see myself? How do I want to be remembered? and how will others remember me? Have you thought about what people would say about you at your funeral? How we are remembered is impacted by how we currently show up. Thinking about our legacy can serve as a tool for accountability. Are you showing in life, for yourself or others, in the way you want to be remembered? Let's stay connected!

Over the next couple of episodes, we'll be chatting about what can be learned from grief. The main question is, what can you gain with loss? Grief is the experience that occurs when we experience loss in our lives. In efforts of understanding how anything and everything can serve a higher good of consciousness, insight, or transformation, I elect to see what grief and loss bring; what are the gifts of grief. The series will touch on gifts such as reflections on legacy, life, purpose, relationships, fulfillment, and gratitude.

Join me as I share my transformational and, dare I say, stimulating experience in the gem that is Qaxaca, Mexico. Being there reminded me how much I live through my senses and why it's essential to be present and connect to the pure goodness that life has to offer. From the food to the cultural celebrations to the art to the hillsides, Quaxaca was exactly what I needed when it came into my life. Oftentimes, travel experiences can be transformative in that way. My major takeaway, sometimes the most simple experiences and pastimes, can provide fullness in life. Explore more wellness tools on www.the-be-life.com

In this 5 episode of our Travel and Transformation series, I chat with therapist and healing arts practitioner Katrina Long about her experience in Egypt. We are talking about spirituality, personal growth, and purpose. Katrina discusses experiences of travelling solo vs in a group. She shares how travelling alone allows her to feel refreshed in balancing the challenges of life. Travelling with groups can illuminate the complexities of relationships and humanness, but also present an opportunity for us to be in tuned to ourselves, and how we relate to community. Being able to see yourself and seeing your life through different eyes.  Embarking on a journey will reveal its on paths, just like every time you step into the world from a place of exploration and curiosity; get outside of yourselves.

The show has been on a bit of a hiatus, but I popped up (well kind of) to drop this episode in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month in the US. In this episode, I chat a little bit about mental health, therapy, and my personal journey as a mental health professional. During the current state of the world, there are so many stressors impacting our mental health, so please please make sure you do your due diligence to take care of yourself.

A new calendar (Gregorian) year is often an opportunity for reflection, goal, and intention setting. Do note, that time is elusive, so of course, each moment, day, week, month, moon cycle, or a trip around the sun, is an opportunity to do the same: reflect, release, and welcome. In today's episode, I'm sharing my thoughts on the value of intention setting for the new year. It's a brief episode, but hopefully, it will give you some things to think about.

Let's discuss the 4th Commandment of Self Love, Honor Thy Spirit. Spirit speaks to the metaphysical energy and consciousness of yourself outside of your basic sensory experience. In exploring spirit, we're discussing the intuitive connection that you have to yourself. There are different pathways in which this connection is established and nurtured, however, it's important as well speak about self-love, that we acknowledge how important spirit is.

Let's talk about honoring thy body. We're exploring the 3rd Commandment of Self Love based on my book, The 5 Commandments of Self Love. Let's explore how the aspects of the body that don't get discussed, like the trapped emotional experiences and the physiological responses to all types of stimuli. Honoring your body can look like body acceptance, but it's much more than that. All that we watch, listen to, read impacts our body. All that we do to, say to, put on, put in, and allow near our bodies, impact us. You can purchase my book on Amazon, to read along. To get more information about me and my work, you can visit www.livethebelife.com

Today we're getting into the 2nd Commandment of Self Love: Honor Thy Mind. The basic idea is understanding, everything impacts your thoughts, even the stimuli that you think don't matter. If what you think is influenced by the environments and people you're around, as well as your sensory experience, how do you intentionally cultivate a nurturing environment for your mind? Honoring your mind is about the awareness and selection of content, conversation, and exposure that your mind registers. This may be an uncomfortable conversation because it may challenge some accountability and intentionality, but that's self-love for you.

If you have the book, The 5 Commandments of Self Love, you can find this on page 109. It's tough to honor yourself when you don't see yourself, or if you're not connected to yourself. In today's episode I'm going through tons of deep-dive questions you can explore to peel back some layers. I mean, how does one learn to know and accept themselves? This section, and this commandment, is the fuel for my TedX talk I did this year on "Owning Your Identity in the Digital Age."

When we're overwhelmed with emotion and stress, it can feel tough facing our emotions.

Hey, Y'all! It's been a minute since our last episode. However, we're kicking off the new season. I'll be introducing you to the four series topics I'll be sharing with you this year. We're also doing some re-cap from the first year of the show. Going into the first series, 5 Commandments of Self Love, I'll be reading an excerpt from my book, of the same title, and discussing why self-love in many ways is such a foreign concept for us.

Hey, Y'all! In this episode, I am joined by beauty vlogger and artist, Brittany Golden. She is the host of the YouTube channel, Its A Golden Lifestyle, and also the fabulous CEO of IGL Nails, a chic and affordable press-on nail company popping up all over the US. We are discussing the question, How does one tap into their creativity? Creativity can offer such a transformational experience, and often, adults feel like unless they identify as an artist, that it's difficult to tap into the creativity. In the dialogue, I loved finding out that creativity was a major healing tool for grief around our parents' deaths, but we both have used it to express all emotions. Creativity is also a spiritual pathway to us connecting to our higher selves, so let's talk about it.

In our journey of self love, I believe its important to be able to be connected to mind, body and spirit. Mind and body get quite a bit of focus, but not necessarily spirit. In this episode, I read excerpts from my book, The 5 Commandments of Self Love reviewing the 4th commandment: Honor Thy Spirit. Of course, what would a discussion about shifts be without story time! Take a journey with me, as I share about a powerful spiritual experience I had while embarking on the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu.

These are some of the questions that are discussed in this episode, as I'm joined with Lia Rosen, educator and podcast host of Two Wives and a Spark.

Whenever we go through a season of change externally, there is often an internal change happening or right around the corner, but we're not always conscious of it. Who you are is constantly shifting, however you may continue to see yourself as a previous version of self. What does it really mean to embrace your new identity? On this episode I'm joined by mompreneur and owner of Lustress Hair Co., Jennifer Jaiyeola, and we're chatting about how we are constantly working to embracing change, and who we are as a result of it.

In this solo episode, I discuss shifts that I have experienced around grief, and the gifts I feel like I have received. Loss is a normal part of our everyday lived experiences, but we often don't embrace loss as an opportunity to receive more. When we release attachment to people, roles, aspects of our identities, and experiences, its making more room for our spirits to operate in something higher or more aligned. I'm releasing this episode on the weekend of Mother's Day in the US, in dedication of my mother who has passed, but also as an ode to those who may be experiencing any type of grief themselves. Conversations about death and grief are not normalized as much as they should be in the US, so this is an effort to have a different type of conversation, which you will hopefully take something away from.

Excited to share this bonus episode with you! Its a bit personal, and I'm sure necessary for someone. If you battle with a loud critical voice, you're in for some good nourishment. In this episode, I'm opening up about my recent emotional journey in participating in the 2021 TedxUCDavis conference. I'll be sharing about my shifts around embracing imperfection, and understanding your value, deservingness, and enough=-ness in light of your imperfection. We know there is no such thing as perfection, but our minds, media, and the world around us, trick us to believe otherwise sometimes. Experiencing imperfection is vulnerable, and its important to validate your emotions around it, but also lean in to the opportunity of beauty that's available.

What does flow mean to you? What does it look like to trust yourself? To trust life? How does allowing yourself to surrender and not always be in control feel? In this episode, I'm joined by Les, the amazing podcast host and leader of the wellness community of Balanced Black Girl, for an honest conversation about the journey we've had in understanding flow. I say journey because we both recognize, that its not over. One of the points that we both reiterated through this episode, is the value of creating intentional space to know, understand and connect with yourself. I'm so sure that you will take some good gems away from this ya'll. Understanding what works for you and fits your life and needs, is what this dialogue is all about!

How connected do you feel to your body? Are you aware of when your body is telling you to stop, slow down, or give it what it needs? This episode is all about mindful connection with the body, and learning about yourself through the signals the body communicates with you. In this episode, I'm joined by Sondrina Bullitt, a licensed acupuncturist and herbalist and owner of The Healing Space in Los Angeles Ca. (https://www.thehealingsp-ce.com/), and we're discussing our own shifts around our connections with our body.

How do you feel about speaking up for yourself? For your wants? For your needs? For your boundaries? Advocating for self whether in a public or private setting can often be a very uncomfortable experience, which can often lead to avoidance. Do you know that your voice matters? Silencing yourself and minimizing what matters to you, can feel very dishonoring. In this episode, I sit with Jamila Cambridge, Esq. who as a lawyer, is no stranger to advocacy work, however has had her own journey and shifts around learning how to assert herself in her personal life. We both talk about what happens when "finally gets their voice" and may become reckless and callous with the empowerment, which is often what people experience.

If you were raised in a home of abuse, neglect, dysfunction, control, manipulation, or critique, you may want to grab some chamomile or lavender tea or oils for this. This week, I'm reading more excerpts from my book, The 5 Commandments of Self Love, and we're discussing how your "wounded inner child" can impact your self love journey. We all have an inner child, that unconscious child-like state that exists within us, however some of us have a wounded inner child that carries shame, sadness, guilt, anger, and sorrow. We discuss what shapes the wounded inner child, how to treat and re-parent yourself when its activated, and what to keep in mind in order to embrace, honor, and accept yourself.

Today we dive a little in to my book, The 5 Commandments of Self Love, and discuss the "4 A's" that can help you practice the first commandment, honor thyself: acknowledgement, acceptance, accountability, and authenticity. The 5 Commandments of Self Love is a framework that allows one to anchor themselves in various practices that foster acceptance and honoring of self. Learning to acknowledge yourself, accept all that you are, practice healthy accountability, and embrace your authentic self, are all steps that can help one honor themselves.

We all have strengths and skills that can easily go unrecognized or not be embraced by ourselves. Maybe we take them for granted because they are just a part of us. Maybe we're too afraid to embrace them because celebrating them would challenge boxes that we or others have put ourselves in. Maybe embracing them and sharing them with the world feels too vulnerable. Tap in to this episode as I chat with non-profit executive Director and Artist, Rachel Wyley, as we discuss the shifts that come with learning to embrace your gifts.  For more content, make sure to follow @the_be_life on ig, or subscribe to my website www.livethebelife.com

Now more than ever, there is so much pressure to outperform, outglam, outgrind, and outdo people. It can create pressure for some to feel like they need to imitate another, just to obtain the same type of material, personal, or career success. The issue has created a world full of copycats, creating their most inauthentic selves in order to obtain validation, acceptance, likes, follows , relationships, money and opportunities. In this episode, I sit down with beauty entrepreneur and business educator, Mya James, as we discuss the power of knowing yourself, being true to yourself, learning from life's ups and downs and creating your own lane.
