Emotions have been at an all-time high the last few days. I want to acknowledge that this particular #SweetTalks episode was recorded in regards to COVID-19, prior to the most recent killings of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd and the protests and other demonstrations of pain across our nation and the world. We are facing and have been facing one pandemic for much longer than the most recent, but both are still ravaging through the black community. RACISM and COVID. This particular episode highlights my personal perspective of recognizing that time is precious and when faced with new trauma, we are all entitled to react differently and in our own way. I almost hesitated in sharing this episode because it does not truly embody the anger, hurt, pain, fear and sadness that I have felt even more so in the last week versus the last few months. I almost hesitated in sharing this episode because it was initially meant to announce how excited I was to share with my listeners some good news about launching my own business as BLACK woman and the purpose behind it. Almost. If there is one thing that I have learned and seen with my very own eyes as of lately, it’s that we as a people are strong and able to push forward during uncertain times. We have the power to fight for what is right and to do it with a smile on our face in joy in our hearts despite the pain that in inflicted on us daily. We have the right to be happy and enjoy this God-given life as much as the next. I say that to say, yes recognize those feelings, do your part, do what’s right, but don’t let the evil of this world steal your moments, your happiness, your prosperity as you push forward to the prize and purpose that awaits you. What now?

Today I have a conversation with Briana Williams who bravely shares her story around her journey to motherhood. She experienced a miscarriage and then, when she ultimately became pregnant again, she was told that the pregnancy & delivery she'd always dreamed about would not be her reality. At 22 weeks, she was told that there was something wrong with her daughter. After delivering her daughter shortly thereafter, her daughter spent the next 12 weeks of her life in NICU. Briana and I talk about her experiences, but the underlying theme throughout the podcast is the loss of expectations that she faced and that so many of us face, not only in our journey to motherhood but in life in general. About Briana: Briana Williams, Pregnancy Life and Health Coach, is a Certified Functional Health Coach (A-CFHC) and an advocate for women and men who are 35 and over trying to conceive a healthy baby. She brings her knowledge, experience and a holistic approach to support others in their journey to create a miracle together. By working together, her clients often find that they are whole, complete, resourceful and stronger than they ever realized.

Have you ever seen a motivational story that made you second guess your whole existence? Like the story of the young boy who was homeless and was admitted into 8 Ivy league schools and received over $500,00 in scholarships? As great as this story is, doesn't a part of you sit back and think, man, what was I doing with my life? I had a roof over my head a car, parents... What was my excuse? I am sure that most of us have had tis thought at some point. On this episode I will talk about the young woman Briana Williams who recently graduated Harvard Law School with a baby in tow, and how often times people use these motivational stories to shame and put down others rather than using these inspirational stories to motivate and uplift. Tune in as I discuss how motivation can backfire and lead to individuals feeling unaccomplished, and unsatisfied with where they are in life.     Announcements: New email and website alert!  You can now contact FREEda's World at Ritha@freedasworld.com and you can now visit our website at www.freedasworld.com Social media: @freedasworld @hebrondrumcorp FREEda's World is available everywhere you enjoy your podcasts!

She’s fast. She’s Jamaican. And she’s coached by four-time Olympic medallist Ato Boldon. Briana Williams won the 100m and 200m at the U20 World Championships. Now, she is hoping to reach the 2019 World Championships (‘if her coach knows what he’s doing’ – Ato’s words not ours!) and maybe even Tokyo 2020. We spoke to both about sunglasses, Jamaican beaches, and beating FloJo’s long-standing sprint records.LINKS:Briana Williams on Instagram Ato Boldon on Twitter Bobby Clay episode

We're back to normal again after a crazy weekend in Ostrava for the Continental Cup and this week's episode is a big one. Ben Harlow [@_benharlow] is joined by Spikes editor Michelle Sammet [@michellesammet] to recap a sensational month of athletics, taking you behind the scenes of the Diamond League finals, in-depth discussion of the world record breaking efforts of Kevin Mayer and Eliud Kipchoge, and a look ahead to the IAAF Awards. However today's main guest is multiple world championship and Olympic medalist turned coach/ broadcaster Ato Boldon. Ben catches up with Ato in the midst of a stunning World U20 Championships in Tampere, Finland, where one of Ato's star athletes Briana Williams made the world take notice in winning both the women's 100m and 200m. Ato reflects on his own glittering career, littered with medals, records and how he become a Trinidadian national hero.

When Briana began her education at Harvard Law School, she was the perfect example of beating the odds: she was the only person in her family to attend college, and now graduate school. However, when she found out she was pregnant with her daughter Evie before her second year at Harvard, she realized one of her biggest challenges was yet to come. From going into labor during a final exam to having to ask the dean of students to babysit during class, being a single mom while achieving her law degree was no easy task. But through her journey, she has inspired women everywhere with her honesty about the struggles she has faced and what she has learned from them.   Join us every other week on “Women's Wealth: The Middle Way,” a radio show aimed at helping women navigate questions about work, money, and family.
