This episode is a compilation of topics that carries us from family and traditions, in Alabama, to a discussion about Nancy Green versus Aunt Jemima. Martha and I are always exploring the history of our families and the separation of Africans throughout the Diaspora. I was lucky to meet Ms. Latika, a native of Alabama and long time resident of Chicago on 20 April 2024 in Columbus, Georgia. On the following day, she and I were discussing her son's prom pictures when the topic of Old School in Alabama surfaced. Ms. Latika is living history for all of us - to be so young! She is an Old Spirit. Martha and continued on to discuss ploys some people will use to distort African/African in America history and how we, as African Americans, should accept the mess. I hope you enjoy this episode.

In the previous episode, it was encouraged to conduct an internal evaluation of how you show up in your career as a working mom; and Proverbs 31:11-17 was the foundational scripture used to conduct the evaluation. But, the question remains, "How are you showing up in your career as a working mom?" In this episode, Latika provides three questions that a working mom should ask herself to assess her presence in her career. Are you showing up in your career aggressively, assertively, or passively? Who in your village is supporting your career presence? How are you growing in your career? Latika encourages working moms to ask the above questions to ensure they are experiencing the abundance God desires for them, as mentioned in 2 Corinthians 9:6-8 NIV.

Do you read Proverbs 31 as a checklist or guide? Do you read it as a comparison or resource? Does it empower you or drain you? In this episode of The Latika Vines Show, Latika reviews Proverbs 31:11-17. In this passage, King Lemuel describes the characteristics of a virtuous woman and Godly wife, a vital lesson his mother taught him. The reading of this passage is not intended to be a checklist, rather a guide to help working moms become the woman God created you to be, as you serve and build God's kingdom. Questions to Ask Yourself: Are you trustworthy at work? Do you keep your word? Are you committed to doing the work? Are you settling or quiet quitting? Are you doing your best at work? Even if you are not in your Career Vision, are you striving to get there in 2024? Are you procrastinating? Are you taking care of business in the office? Are you completing tasks on time? Are you communicating effectively? Are you striving to be excellent in your Career Vision? Do you go beyond the call of duty or do you perform at the bare minimal? Reading Proverbs 31:11-17 was a reminder to tell you that you are a virtuous woman and Godly wife, and to remind you that you continue to get better every day, and every year. Even if some of the responses to the above questions were not favorable, you have the knowledge to do better - when you know better, you do better! You have what it takes to be the career driven woman that God called you to be - you have the characteristics and strength because God gave it to you, it's innate. But, sometimes you have to be reminded that its there. So, view today's episode as your reminder that you got this!

Have you been overwhelmed with the lack of growth in your career? Do you feel stuck in your position, not knowing how to move forward? Have you been struggling with finding the perfect position? In this season of transition, God is opening His arms to you, inviting you to be in His presence. You will find that when you are in His presence, allowing Him to be your focal point, He will ensure you are receiving growth, promotion, and recognition when you align with His will for your career. In this episode of The Latika Vines Show, Latika shares why working moms should gather their careers and workpieces and be in alignment with God's vision for their careers. In John 6:12 NIV it says, "when they had all had enough to eat, he said to his disciples, 'gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted.' " Jesus is telling us to gather all of our career/workpieces - experience, talents, ideas, energy, and time and give them to God. When God is the focal point of your career, He will gather the pieces, not waste any of them, and align your steps to the destiny He created for you.

As a working mom, the emotional demands you have to carry are inescapable. Emotional demands could include mom guilt, anxiety, and being overwhelmed with balancing work and life. However, you cannot fix, control, and manage the emotional demands of everyone (e.g. children, husband, colleagues, relatives, situations, tasks, etc...) and everything. By doing so, you add additional weight on your shoulders while suppressing your feelings, needs, and desires. So, how do you cope with the inescapable emotional demands? In today's episode of The Latika Vines Show, Latika shares three ways working moms can cope with emotional demands, based on Luke 10:41-42 NIV.

According to the Cambridge Dictionary, people pleasing is defined as "someone who cares a lot about whether people like him or her and always wants others to approve his or her actions." (Cambridge Dictionary, 2023) Have you found yourself caring more about someone else's view of you, rather than your own? Have you found yourself caring more for a person, more than you care for yourself? People pleasing can stem from childhood trauma or any other trauma in your life, but the effects of it can be hard to overcome. In this episode of The Latika Vines Show, Latika shares how people pleasing can stem from neglect and abandonment, or any other trauma you experienced in the past. And, she identifies five (5) ways you can overcome and stop people pleasing, so you can find your inner worth and value because it doesn't look good on you. 1. Remind yourself what God promised you 2. Be true to yourself, stop trying to fit in 3. Have healthy boundaries, with yourself and others 4. Spend time alone, with God 5. Understand that you can't please anyone but yourself About Latika: Latika is an experienced Career Strategist and Coach leading high-performing working moms who want to grow their careers and balance life, with Christian principles.

As a working mom, your Foundation for a Satisfying Marriage, Great Motherhood Experience, and Rewarding Career must be strong. Compare it to a juggler or entertainer who is juggling 3 balls; they must have his/her feet grounded on the ground and their core must be strong to balance the 3 balls. Likewise, working moms are jugglers. They must juggle 3 balls (Marriage, Motherhood, and their Career) all at the same time. It may look impossible to juggle it all, but when you have your feet planted firmly to the ground and a strong core, it is possible to have it all without it falling apart. In this episode of The Latika Vines Show, Latika shares how you can access the BOSS Mom Foundation that has helped her and her clients gain the strength (and character-building experience) to have a Satisfying Marriage, Great Motherhood Experience, and Rewarding Career.

Work & Life Balance | Managing Life, Career, Marriage, & Faith | The Latika Vines Show
As you embark on the journey of becoming the woman God has designed you to be, it's necessary for you to be unshakeable and unmovable in your life, career, marriage, and faith. It's necessary for you to listen and heed the wisdom from God to stand firm. Do you agree? In this episode of The Latika Vines Show, Latika shares her intimate process of being unshakeable and unmovable - not being passive or dim-wit. While reading Proverbs 7:21-23, Latika read how a father was giving his son wisdom to not be passive or dim-witted for the full price for sin is his life. This scripture encouraged Latika to stop allowing others to control her mindset or allow things to happen because she doesn't want to deal with it. She learned that she can no longer allow herself to be simple. It's time for her to be unshakeable and unmovable so she can show up as the best wife, mother, employee, employer, friend, sister, daughter, niece, aunt, and community member. Likewise, she desires to share with you how to do the same. To be unshakeable and unmovable, you must be spiritually grounded in the following: Know what you believe Don't be easily persuaded Be unable to change The above will involve evaluating who you in a relationship with; what you are listening to; where you get your counsel from; and what you are watching so that you can be firm and grounded in becoming who God wants you to be. This is the episode you need to remind yourself to not be passive any longer in your life, career, marriage, and faith.
