White•ish

Ever heard Megan snot cry? No? Well, here you go. 40 wonderful minutes of snot. Let's be real guys. People ask how you're doing or comment on how much better you seem after going through something hard. They tell you they're proud of you for making the hard decision to go to therapy or they can't wait to get you upfront on Sunday to have you share with the class how you survived with God right by your side through the entire event. You politely tell them "thanks" and that you're "doing well". You really "enjoy" what you're doing with your life right now and you can "feel yourself healing". When in all reality you're on the struggle bus. You wake up rather upset that you woke up. You feel dirty, or sad, or at a loss. When you try to say something you're smothered with the "but you're doing so well" and the "therapy will help with that". No one wants to understand that healing still means that you're hurt. That sometimes you can't function and that is completely fine. So come cry with me on this wonderful mental breakdown episode. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

One thing about me is that I do not like injustice, and I do not like keeping my mouth shut. I stand for truth and I refuse to back down. Even if it is the church. What you won't do is mistreat my family and assume that I won't say anything about it! Oh, the congregation won't hold you accountable because they're scared? Looks like a job for me! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

We all have had a boss, a parent, a leader of some sort that was just terrible. They made us feel bad about ourselves or manipulated situations. We can get to feeling trapped. No worries, I’ll help ya out ❤️

Some of you have experienced situations where people too advantage of you using the fact that you were not providing as an excuse for their abuse. This causes some people to be extremely independent to the point of exhaustion. This isn’t normal guys! It’s okay to want to be independent, but it’s not okay to refuse any kind of help for fear of being exploited. Let’s talk through my own experience and how we can healthily break down this trauma response! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Ladies and gents one full season of White•ish is in the books! We’ve talked about so many things this season and I thought a good way to end it is with a collab! Rese, founder of Swiggy Tapes podcast joins me in speaking about our work at Brothers. We talk about the toxicity and lack of leadership in workplaces, and how that will never make for a good business! The good, the bad, and the ugly of it all is almost to hot to handle

So, we talk a lot about mental health and how it needs to be helped, but can we please discuss what the “help” looks like? Treatment is not what it may seem for those who have not gone through it. But no worries!! I’ll give you the insider! Catch up with me, and buckle up because it’s gonna be a crazy ride.

Oh, snap! Megan’s getting emotional

Hey guys! Ugh! It's been TOO LONG. Sometimes we think we need to have control of a situation, and sometimes (most of the time) we think that we need to put ourselves first in every situation. This should not be the case. Sacrifices and letting go of control are two things that have to happen in order for your relationships/friendships or life in general to go well...ya feel me?

Happy New Year loveies!! Last year was a tad rough, but through tough times we also learn great lessons. Understanding that life doesn't require you to have a certain thing done at a certain time is so important to your wellbeing. We know that it's okay to set goals, but is there such thing as setting goals too high?

We love Lizzo. Thank you Lizzo for giving us a summer anthem this year, but no thank you to the butt cheeks you gave us when we were just tryna watch some basket ball. Ladies, we shouldn't be feeling empowered by Lizzo's twerk fest, rather we should feel empowered by women who build other women up in such a way that leaves them looking, feeling, and desiring to be respected. You cannot demand respect if you're not going to be respectable

We all have a past, and we are all capable of changing. One thing that can create stumbling blocks in dating is past relationships and past relationship patterns. When we continue to have low standards we continue to choose unhealthy relationships. It's a cycle yes, but are you willing to break it?

Sometimes we have to admit we took that L. I, unfortunately took a huge one this past week. The only good thing that came out of that was what I learned, not only about myself but about others as well.

While I did not plan on diving deep in this episode, I felt moved to do so(nothing ever goes as planned in my life...like ever). I am open an vulnerable in my story, I am also unashamed. Identity is a tough subject especially when you already struggle with who you are. Hopefully I can leave you feeling a little more settled and a little more comforted when I'm done❤ (I do not own any rights to the music that is used in this episode.)

Just a good ol' introduction of myself and some of my views! Dive in with me as I share all the opinions and thoughts that you guys never asked for!
