Hey Friends & Kin!   FYI: THIS, JUST LIKE ALL EPISODES OF HAND ME MY PURSE, CONTAINS PROFANITY. THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT. Now that we've gotten that out of the way... _________   In the spirit of LOVE & BLACK HISTORY MONTH, I decided to go back into the vault. This episode is a retro conversation from, “The Catalogue”. It is one part of a series of conversations I had with some friends about the culture of dating in the Black Community. My guest Bianca & I discuss the shifts in dating within our community, as we recognize the MAJOR shift is what Bianca calls “THE NEW MONOGAMY”. We discuss some HOT TOPICS such as: polyamory, dating from a place of emotional ego, the conceptual origins of the “Strong Black Woman” & the “Absentee Black Man” and how all of these things created a shift in the way Black men and women engage with one another.    We laugh, dig down into our soul of wonder and get real REAL about some things that may make some folks uncomfortable. We draw on the notion that in order to heal – we have to get to the nucleus of the issue and the only way TO IT is straight THROUGH IT.   "GO WHERE YOU ARE ADORED.

Hey Friends & Kin!   FYI: THIS, JUST LIKE ALL EPISODES OF HAND ME MY PURSE, CONTAINS PROFANITY. THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT. Now that we've gotten that out of the way... _________   Friends and Kin this series has been in the making for a long time! I have been wanting to sit down and speak with a table full of veteran educators for a while. I wanted to discuss the state of education and get a pulse on what they feel is going on. It's important to me to provide a safe and brave space for people to share their stories with the world - and so I did. In part two the educators spoke about how they are navigating the world of urban education.     I had 7 fellow educators to join me in conversation about what is going on in schools as we know it. We all work in Baltimore City School District - a community riddled with violent crime, trauma (direct trauma, vicarious trauma, generational trauma, etc.), lack and sometimes just flat out hopelessness. Tune in to hear part ONE of a three part series with these open, honest, caring and brilliant educators.

THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT. Now that we've gotten that out of the way... _________   Friends and Kin this episode is very personal for me. I am swiftly approaching the anniversaries of my Grandparents transitioning/leaving the earthly realm & I really do not want to be super sad.  As a result I am seeking out ways to honor them and hold their spirit up. If you've listened to this podcast for a while, you already know how close I was to my grandparents. They were my riders. The chose me over and over and over again. They were an integral part of my life just as I was to theirs.   In this episode I dive into how it's important and the steps to take to create your own experiences around honoring and celebrating your ancestors. Go take a listen and get ready to take some notes if this is something that piques your interest - we are because of them. They deserve to be celebrated…   "GO WHERE YOU ARE LOVED.

THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT. Now that we've gotten that out of the way... _________   Friends and Kin HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! Y'all it is 2024… WOW!!! Well, this episode is all about preparing for this new year that is upon us. It's all about focusing on how to make this year the b best year that we can by being GRATEFUL & remaining in a state of GRATITUDE. Also, by being intentional about how we navigate - from something one would see as minuscule to a major moment or decision. It is such an important aspect of JOY & I don't think a lot of people really understand that. It's at the very nucleus of our JOY! And if we are going to be INTENTIONAL about JOY, we must first be INTENTIONAL about being GRATEFUL.   I also dive into how my aunt, my cousin and I pick a word to focus our attention and intentions on each new year. This year my word is DISCIPLINE. Do you do this? It's so helpful and super intentional.

Hey Friends & Kin!   FYI: THIS, JUST LIKE ALL EPISODES OF HAND ME MY PURSE, CONTAINS PROFANITY. THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT. Now that we've gotten that out of the way... _________   Friends and Kin this episode is part two of a conversation about SELF-ACCOUNTABILITY. In the last episode or part one of this discussion we talked about that self-accountability is. We discussed what it looks like, smells like and just the flat out truth about what it is at its core. We also touched on what could be at the nucleus of the lack of self-accountability in certain communities. COMMUNITIES BEING ANY GROUPING OF PEOPLE - FAMILIES, FRIEND CIRCLES. I went over in particular how it can sometimes show up in the Black comunity and WHY... Agree or disagree - it happens a lot and there may be reasons associated with that behavior.   In this episode I dive more into how we are going to combat this and stop this behavior. I talk about deflection versus reflection and I share some information I found on Faith Evans' internet about how not taking self-accountability and deflecting is a form of gaslighting, narcissism and even emotional abuse. Tune in to see how we can all work on being more reflective and focus on being our best self in spite of mistakes and so called “failures” we may experience in life.    HAVE A HAPPY DAY OF GRATITUDE WITH YOUR LOVED ONES. AND IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANY FAMILY OR FRIENDS TO SPEND THE DAY WITH - KNOW YOU ARE LOVED. xoxoxo.   "GO WHERE YOU ARE LOVED.

Hey Friends & Kin!   FYI: THIS, JUST LIKE ALL EPISODES OF HAND ME MY PURSE, CONTAINS PROFANITY. THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT. Now that we've gotten that out of the way... _________   Friends and Kin this episode is going to ruffle a few feathers. I decided to make it a two part situation. Because it could be heavy - not heavy like the last episode. Not saddening, but a lot to process. Especially when we have to sit in what role we may play in keeping this kind of energy alive in our communities. It's a LOT to process. Don't take anything personally, cause everything ain't about you! Love you! I am talking about self-accountability AND the role that our cultural norms and communities may play in the lack of self-accountability. I offer another lens to look at the issue, just a different perspective that could be connected to how and why we may sometimes run from owning our active roles and responsibilities in situations we encounter. Part two will be focused on how to remedy feeling like you cannot just own your behaviors and actions. So be sure to tune in for episode No. 73. In true HMMP form, let's figure out how to be better. ❤️ "GO WHERE YOU ARE LOVED. NOT WHERE YOU ARE TOLERATED..."

THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT. Now that we've gotten that out of the way... _________   Friends and Kin this episode is part one of a heavy conversation that I had with my homegirl, Gina of The Bedroom Bartender! We both made a cocktail that was Autumn inspired, even though it's been toggling between Summertime & Fresh Autumn Chills on the East Coast off and on for the past month.    This is part two of the conversation & it is HEAVY. We talk shop about grief. Gina losing her mom just as the pandemic got settled in its skin and me losing my grandmother at the top of this year. I went to Gina for some support, because that's what friends do - they seek one another out for support when they can't figure it out. There are tears, smiles, “aha!” moments and gratitude. Listen and I pray this is a blessing and helpful to someone who, like me doesn't know what to do amidst their grief. May God bless us. xoxo   "GO WHERE YOU ARE ADORED. NOT WHERE YOU ARE TOLERATED..."   MeMe's Jam No. 71 Vince Staples on Hot Ones The Bedroom Bartender. DAILY GRATITUDE RITUALS.

Hey there Friends & Kin, it's my 44th birthday week and I am going to Disneyworld! Y'all know I have been navigating some serious grief and seven days before my flight I booked a trip to go away for my birthday. Everybody has a place or a thing that is an instant place of joy for them - if you don't know your place or thing, you'd better identify it.  Mine is DISNEY THEME PARKS and the beach.  I decided to go see Mickey & Minnie - they always know how to make me feel better. There is something about just being in a Disney theme parks, that reminds me of absolute joy and happiness. I recognize some people don't get it, but it's my happy place. I will be back next week with a really amazing two part conversation with a friend of the show.  Part one is light and fun, part two is heavy and helpful. Part two is RAW. See you all next week and I love you all so much. Happy Birthday to me - have a drink for me! It's a celebration! "GO WHERE YOU ARE LOVED. NOT WHERE YOU ARE TOLERATED..."

Hey Friends & Kin!   FYI: THIS, JUST LIKE ALL EPISODES OF HAND ME MY PURSE, CONTAINS PROFANITY. THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT. Now that we've gotten that out of the way... _________   Friends and Kin this episode is a little all over the place but all about how society has it set up to keep us insecure. We live in a world that wants us in a space where we are constantly comparing ourselves with others and feeling that we need to compete with other people. We have to navigate this differently. There needs to be a mindset shift, but this type of transformation does not come easily.   I dive into how ways we can shift our mindset to focus on OURSELVES and the present moment to really enjoy what we have. I talk a lot about how the philosophy of detachment can be helpful in focusing on WHAT REALLY MATTERS - and here's a hint… IT'S NOT COMPARING OURSELVES WITH SOMEONE ELSE. The real tea is that what matters is how we can be our best self. That helps us to be a better human for the people we love and care about, not for the people that we should not be concerned with. FOCUS ON YOU & COMPETE ONLY WITH YOUR YESTERDAY. xoxox   "GO WHERE YOU ARE LOVED.

After my episode with Matt Thieleman about life coaching versus therapy, I got a lot of great questions about taking those first steps to find a therapist. Therapy is such a great way to work through blocks in your life and learn healthy coping mechanisms for anything you're struggling with, so in this episode I'm sharing the first steps you can take if you'd like to try therapy, and what to expect from those first few sessions.  Products or websites mentioned: Listen to Ep. 93: What Is a Coach? Coaching vs. Therapy with Matt Thieleman Psychology Today - Click the “Find a Therapist” tab and enter your location   Some key takeaways from this episode include: It's so important to address the things that are making you feel stuck in your life, or that are preventing you from fully enjoying your life. For me, therapy has been a great tool to help me face those things head-on. Finding a therapist can feel overwhelming, but there are ways you can narrow down who you want to meet with. After you find some therapists you might want to work with, get on an introductory call with them. Gauge their vibe, how you feel talking to them, and get to know them a bit. If you get through the first few sessions with a therapist, and it doesn't feel right, remember there are SO many providers to choose from! Don't abandon therapy altogether, instead find another therapist until you find the right match.   Welcome to the Wake Up Call Podcast with Alicia Hopkins (that's me!). My goal in this podcast is to share valuable and actionable tips on what I call the “Core Four” - mindfulness, movement, habits, and growth - so you can build a life that feels true to you. I will be interviewing people who have had a “wake up call” that their good-on-paper life wasn't lighting them up, and what they did to change that.

Hey Friends & Kin!   FYI: THIS, JUST LIKE ALL EPISODES OF HAND ME MY PURSE, CONTAINS PROFANITY. THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT. Now that we've gotten that out of the way... _________   Friends and Kin in this episode, we are talking about something that a lot of people think they have down to a science, but folks are really clueless about & that is *drumroll please* SELF-AWARENESS. People do NOT think outside of themselves on a regular basis. Some people carry on like they don't even know the world exists outside of their realm. BUT IT DOES. And if we are going to be INTENTIONAL about HOW WE LIVE OUR LIVES, we must first be INTENTIONAL about being WHO WE ARE AND HOW WE SHOW UP IN THE WORLD.   I dive into how doing simple things can help you to develop self-awareness in your life and how to incorporate different techniques into your daily living that will help to develop self-awareness in your life. The real question to ask yourself is - WHO IN THE WORLD AM I? No, seriously - who are you in the world & who in the world are you? Literally & Figuratively. I even included a series of questions to ask yourself when you want to do an evaluation of where you are with self-awareness. It might be time for a check-in!     "GO WHERE YOU ARE LOVED.

Hey Friends & Kin!   FYI: THIS, JUST LIKE ALL EPISODES OF HAND ME MY PURSE, CONTAINS PROFANITY. THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT. Now that we've gotten that out of the way... _________   Friends and Kin this episode is part two of my conversation with my homie & big time friend of the show, Kandis. As per usual we are laughing, disagreeing, telling all of the jokes - and of course, discussing dating and being single! Tune in for some good laughs but also some serious dialogue around what it's like to be single in 2023. We talk about some things that people don't really want to admit - like the freedom in being single!    Listen, being single is extremely freeing and allows you to navigate this planet as you wish. So many people are hellbent on being attached to someone else or something else, but there is a peace in not being bound. Not to say that being in a healthy relationship is BAD, however, there is something to be said about being free to be until we (the singles of the world) meet the person that makes us feel FREE in a HEALTHY, committed union. Until I meet him, I will be focusing on myself and becoming the best version of ourselves that we can be!   We Got To Do Better: “I DON'T BELIEVE THAT LIFE IS SUPPOSED TO MAKE.

THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT. Now that we've gotten that out of the way... _________   Friends and Kin this episode that will keep you chuckling. I have one of my favorite guests on the show, my friend, Kandis. In part ONE of our conversation we are chatting about just about anything and everything - as usual. We always talk about dating, being single and just our present day life energy. When we get together it's always a GOOD OL' TIME because we cannot be around one another for long without BIG LAUGHTER being in the room.   This week's “STRAIGHT FACTS” question is a HOT MESS this week. Good Luck with that Mr. Glynn from Atlanta!

THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT. Now that we've gotten that out of the way... _________   Friends and Kin it's that time of year again! Time for the kids to go BACK TO SCHOOL!!!! In this episode, I talk about getting ready for back to school. Now be advised, THIS MESSAGE WILL BE FOR EVERYBODY!!! If you don't have kids, do have kids even if you work with kids - directly or indirectly. It's for EVERYONE. Because we are ALL affected directly and/or indirectly, whether you are aware of it or not. You are probably wondering - HOW AM I IMPACTED IF I DON'T HAVE ANY KIDS… LISTEN, we are ALL impacted. Think about it…    Traffic - when kids are in school the roads are so congested! Stores - the lines are longer, parents are frustrated with buying school stuff making them very testy and annoyed in stores & stores are always out of things we'd usually have easy access to.    But the TRAFFIC, MAN. SHEESH!   I also polled some educators across the country, about the state of education - TODAY. As in right now. It was such an amazing way to hear from mouths of the people actually out in the trenches. Please listen to this episode. I really enjoyed this episode & I hope you do too!   "GO WHERE YOU ARE LOVED. NOT WHERE YOU ARE TOLERATED..." MeMe's Jam No. 62 MASEGO: NPR Tiny Desk Concert SUBMIT A QUESTION FOR “STRAIGHT FACTS”!

THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT. Now that we've gotten that out of the way... _________   Friends and Kin this episode is around a topic that is a recurring theme here on HAND ME MY PURSE. AND THAT'S GRATITUDE!!! Gratitude is a big deal for me. There are several shows wherein I have been in conversation about it & I can promise you, this won't be the last conversation had on this podcast where I will talk about GRATITUDE. It is such an important aspect of JOY & I don't think a lot of people really understand that. It's at the very nucleus of our JOY! And if we are going to be INTENTIONAL about JOY, we must first be INTENTIONAL about being GRATEFUL.   I dive into how doing simple things can help you to cultivate gratitude in your life and how to incorporate gratitude into your daily living as a ritual. Go take a listen and get ready because it's almost time to another HAND ME MY PURSE GRATITUDE CHALLENGE!!! Will you be joining me for the next round? Feel free to take a listen to the following episodes to get some insight on how we do gratitude challenges around these parts: No. 36 + No. 37 + No. 44. Check those out & get ready because another challenge is coming soon!

THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT. Now that we've gotten that out of the way... _________   This is part TWO of my conversation with Amber of THE BEEN DOWN PROJECT! My new play cousin from L.A. in the 90s! If you haven't already listened to part ONE of this conversation, I highly suggest you do that FIRST. In part two we dive deeper into her time in PRISON (not jail. there's a difference…) and learn about her new venture BLOOM, the only restaurant in DC that is BLACK OWNED, WOMAN OWNED & QUEER OWNED! I am going to definitely have the Amber & her business partner on the show in the near future to tell us more about BLOOM.   Amber & I got to chat about some serious things, and some fun things. Like me, Amber has lived a HELLUVA LIFE. Very very colorful & she tells us all about them. One of the main focuses of Hand Me My Purse. is to tell the stories of people who don't get heard often & an educated Black woman serving time in federal prison for a white collar crime is one of those stories. So sit back, relax and enjoy yourself as me and my new cousin, Amber dive into her story. I am excited to share with you!   The Straight Facts segment had a question that was LOADED. It was such an amazing question and was VERY layered, yet beautiful. It was sent in to us from Kay of Milwaukee. Thank you so much for such a great question, Kay!

I got to sit and have a conversation with Amber of the BEEN DOWN PROJECT, who is a friend of a friend - but now we are cousins (BECAUSE LOS ANGELES SAID SO!). I have been trying to sit and chat with this sista for probably two years, but we all know that LIFE BE LIFING & it didn't happen… UNTIL NOW! Everything always happens in perfect timing.    Amber & I got to chat about some serious things, and some fun things. Like me, Amber has lived a HELLUVA LIFE.

Hey Friends & Kin!   FYI: THIS, JUST LIKE ALL EPISODES OF HAND ME MY PURSE, CONTAINS PROFANITY. THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT. Now that we've gotten that out of the way... _________   In this episode we have a candid and off the cuff conversation about LONELINESS. I take a deep dive into what happens when you work on healing it by going straight to its core! People don't seem to understand just how serious loneliness can be if we just continue to brush it aside like it's not a big deal. There are so many health risks, and not just our mental and emotional health. Loneliness can adversely affect our physical health just as well.   I discuss the difference between LONELINESS and SOLITUDE or BEING ALONE. There is a MAJOR difference and if you aren't aware of what those differences are, well you need to just tune in and get some of this good information. Go get some tea, then come and get the tea!   We Got To Do Better: ”We have to declare ownership of our lives. With conviction & with a force equal to the law of gravity behind it, declare “I AM IN CHARGE OF ME, OF MY THOUGHTS & ACTIONS - AND I HAVE THE POWER TO LIVE MY HEART'S DESIRES.” - Susan L.

Hey Friends & Kin!   FYI: THIS, JUST LIKE ALL EPISODES OF HAND ME MY PURSE, CONTAINS PROFANITY. THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT. Now that we've gotten that out of the way... _________   Friends and Kin this conversation is all about something that we ALL deal with from time to time. It affects us all on different levels but we have definitely ALL dealt with it at some point in our lives. SELF SABOTAGE!!! We must address the tendency to sabotage our success in order to show up in the world as OUR BEST VERSION OF OURSELVES.    I dive into exactly what self-sabotage is and the different ways it can show up in our lives. I also talk about how to identify and attack it when we notice it's happening. I offer a few options on how to fight back when it shows up. It starts with really getting into WHAT YOU REALLY DESIRE FOR YOURSELF. So go listen in and start to process for YOURSELF what you need to do to create an environment where you are ready to fight against self-sabotage when it rears it's ugly head. YOU DESERVE ALL THE GOOD THINGS, MY DARLING... YOU DESERVE.   The We Got To Do Better segment graced us with a quote from our Divine Auntie, Josephine Baker. She said, “You are on the eve of a complete victory. You can't go wrong. The world is behind you.” & I am going to turn this into a mantra that I recite every morning in the shower.

Clearly, I am not here to offend anybody. That's not my focus and I am not that rude nor concerned with being malicious to DESIRE to just go around offending people - especially people I don't know in real life. However, some things just need to be said outright.  This conversation is all about seeking external validation. I get into the root causes of seeking external validation - especially on social media. If you're unsure about where to start - you know I always have a link below to help guide you to where to find a therapist in your area. I hope you enjoy the episode and check out the jam of the week!!!  "GO WHERE YOU ARE LOVED.

THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT. Now that we've gotten that out of the way... _________   Friends and Kin in this conversation we are going to talk about something that has our culture in a chokehold. I am talking about being petty and the way folks take PRIDE in being PETTY. When I say YOU - I am talking to me, you, you, you and anybody else that it is for. And that is for any and all of us who need to stop being PETTY!   I dive into the different ways being petty may show up in our behaviors, what could be at the root of those behaviors and how being petty can and does effect our all of relationships. I also touch on ways to shift that behavior when you are in the moment to opt out of being negative and unkind. Because, let's be honest - being petty is just being unkind… Be sure to check out the jam for this week, it's a FAVORITE of mine & the link for the book that our quote for  "GO WHERE YOU ARE LOVED.

Dr. Reedy discusses how to engage a therapist to know if they are the right one for you. He talks about the difference between therapists that have done and are doing their own work versus those who rely on technique and academics. He encourages clients to ask tough questions and expect intelligent answers. He explains how therapy can trigger a regressive position and invites clients to share their frustrations and feelings toward the therapist to see whether the therapist is capable. He also explains how therapy is less about fixing you and your symptoms and more about understanding you and your dilemmas.

In this episode I'll be discussing what a midlife crisis or challenge is, how to know if you're experiencing one, and some ideas to help you overcome it. Midlife challenges can be difficult to navigate, but they can also be an opportunity for growth and self-discovery. By seeking support, reassessing your values and priorities, trying new things, focusing on your physical health, and practicing self-compassion, you can overcome a midlife challenge and emerge stronger and more fulfilled on the other side. Remember, it's never too late to make positive changes in your life. Are you feeling lost or stuck in midlife? I'm accepting new clients.

The state of mental health care - at least in the west - is such that many in our community have a difficult time either locating a therapist that specializes in treating anxiety disorders, or accessing professional mental health help for economic and other reasons. This leads many to ask, "Do I need a therapist to recover?" While the help of a trained, experienced professional is certainly helpful, we have to look at what happens when that isn't possible. Lauren Rosen and Kelley Franke from the Purely OCD podcast join me this week to talk about this problem and to explore options, alternatives and possibly helpful strategies for when accessing professional therapy proves difficult. Disclaimer: In this podcast episode we attempted to address a problem we all know exists and to be realistic in our assessment of what options there may be for someone that has to "do recovery" on their own. We simply cannot provide you with a definitive answer as to if you need a therapist or not. That answer is based on so many individual variables that without knowing you there's just no way to provide black and white answers to that question. What you read, hear, and see in this episode is meant as general guidance and for informational purposes. Only you can judge what is right for you in the end.

I'm answering another listener's question in this Put It into Practice episode. I received this question over social media and I think it's something we don't talk about enough - Porn Addiction. The question I received: is porn addiction an epidemic? I review the causes, triggers, and consequences of porn addiction. I also discuss the relationship between sexual abuse and porn. Don't forget you can message me over on IG or send me an email - lisa at lisamustard dot com to ask me a question about therapy, mental health, relationships, that I will answer on a future episode (anonymously, of course). Because if you're wondering about it chances are others out there are wondering about it too!
