S5 Ep 100: Can you believe that we are wrapping up 2020 with This Is For My Ladies 100th episode?! This is the last episode of the year and what a year this has been. 2020 started out a mess, the impeachment process of president Donald Trump that never happened , the death of Kobe and Gigi Bryant, the deadly coronavirus that plagued the entire world, a mass worldwide shutdown, unemployment rates skyrocketing and stimulus checks. Despite all those tragic things happening in the world, it was a big year for entrepreneurs and some small businesses, people where able to take advantage of this time to fully throw themselves into their businesses, side hustles, hobbies, passions and even education. In this episode, "Where the money resides," it encourages you to step into your fullest potential and to stop sleeping on yourself! You can't be "where the money resides" when you're constantly getting in your own way, self sabotaging your life, dreams, goals, happiness, your time and money and sad to say, you'll never be where the money resides when you continuously deny yourself, talking yourself out of opportunities and making excuses and the money doesn't reside on that side. From here on out, money resides wherever you are, you are a magnet and money is constantly flowing to you. Take the time to reflect on this year and where you want to be in the new year, what are you going to do different? Allow those ideas that you pushed to the back of your mind resurface to the for front and ask yourself what are you willing to invest and sacrifice to see that everything that you ever said you'd do and accomplish come into fruition so you can be where the money reside and that's on Mary had a little lamb, sis you're Mary and that lamb can be some savory lamb chops, a sweater or both its all in how you view things and what you are able to produce with what you are given. I hope you all have a safe and Happy New Year, see you in 2021! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/ticia-the-diva/support

S5 Ep 96: In this episode, push through, I recap my trip to Laguna Beach and the message that I received while en route. I also remind you all of how Groupon is still the goat and reigns supreme in the ultimate go to for self care and how purchasing and decorating my first live Christmas tree was so therapeutic and nostalgic for me. The word push, can be defined as a vigorous effort to do or obtain something and/or exert force on (someone or something), in order to move them away from oneself. The term "push through" is to force someone or something to perforate, penetrate, or pass through something. This week, I want you all to push through with whatever dreams, short term or long term goals you have. Start small, write down what it is that you want to do and detail the first step to get started. Sometimes the first step is research. Ask yourself, how long will you commit to research, 30min-1hr a day, what time of the day, do you work best early in the morning or are you a night owl, doesn't matter, make the time to push through and do something for yourself with one small step this week. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/ticia-the-diva/support

S5 Ep 95: Happy Thanksgiving Ladies, can you believe that we are literally one holiday away from the New Year, get us out of here right? I wish there was some reset button that we can press and everything could go back to normal where covid didn't exist, we didn't have Donald Trump as a president and outside was open backup, granted, it's getting cold and I personally prefer to be inside during the cold months but still, give us FREE! And because it is thanksgiving, I still want to give thanks and in this episode, of course I share those things that I'm truly most grateful and thankful for and encourage everyone to buy black this Black Friday. rotate that dollar back in the black community and find a black business to support. Also in this episode, I talk about grounding, being off balance and the measures that I'm taking to gain that control with some self care practices this week. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/ticia-the-diva/support

S5 Ep 94: I saw a post on Facebook that said, “You meet ur 18-year-old self. Ur allowed to say 3 words. What do you say?” In this episode, “Girl, just leave.” are the three words that I’d tell myself 18-year old self and I share my thoughts on things that if I could hit the re-set button on, I’m talking about college experiences, the lack of financial literacy within the black community growing up and the consequences of choices. Girl just leave, is a declaration to release anything, any person, relationship, any fears, doubts, ideas or thoughts that aren’t of your own, that may have been projected on you and now who and where you are in life, those things no longer serves you nor the best interest in reaching your greater self. Girl, just leave (you fill in the blank). --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/ticia-the-diva/support

Also, I share in this episode the tax increase that Trump passed in 2017 that will increase those that make less than 75,000/years every two years after 2020, crazy right? Speaking of crazy, how bizarre was it for Keke Palmer to be worried about folks and what they spend on their EBT? I looked up Keke’s net worth for this year and the gag is this year she’s worth 7.5 million. I’m still trying to figure out why is EBT even apart of her vocabulary? Keke is rich and in broke people business, no offense to anybody receiving food stamps and snap benefits but why of all people, Keke worried about it when she can have her meals brought, provided and prepared for her daily, if she chooses.

S5 Ep 91: For Colored Girls, now this episode isn't the "For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf" but it is for colored girls, who've struggled with insecurities, colorism/racism and finding confidence. During this episode, I share my own stories of colorism that I experienced from adults as a chid. I also talk about the importance of building confidence in young colored girls. In this episode, I share the importance of teaching young girls to love themselves and the skin they are in to eliminate insecurities and any insecurities that they feel aren't those thoughts of their own but the projections of others that don't feel confident with themselves. I also encourage women to teach their daughters and/or other colored girls, how to compliment others. This teaches them to be secure and confident within themselves. As women, it is our duty to build other women up, we shouldn't be putting other women down to embarrass them in front of others but to correct them in private. This episode is real light and just encourages black women to be better to themselves so that they are able to better to other women. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/ticia-the-diva/support

S5 Ep 88: Ladies, please come to the front of the alter, I need to have a word with you all. Lately, it has been brought to my attention that we are calling for the black men to protect black women. I hate to inform you but sis, that ain't about to happen, that's like asking Trump to wear a mask, even after he got Coronavirus. Why must we continue to call for the black man to protect us when they turn right around and shit on us calling women bitches, hoes and sluts to our face for having an opinion or for defending other women? The black mans hatred for women continues to increase, driving a wedge between members of the same community. Are we not fighting the same struggle, to be seen as human beings, to not be killed for being black, to receive equal treatment and rights as our white counterparts? Black women will stand up for the black man, protect and nurture the black man long after they shit on us but what do we get in return? Hurt feelings and a bunch of social media post pleading to them why they need to protect us. Now I'm not saying ALL men are this way, some men have been raised to respect and honor woman, putting her on a pedestal as "Queen", that's like the game of chess, the Queen is THE most IMPORTANT piece of the game. Funny how people refer to chess as a game of life yet the 'Black Queen' is the least important in real life. Did anybody catch that post where women were asked "what would you do if there were no men on the streets at night?" The answers were astonishing, the fear that women have for men are sick but they are suppose to protect us right? Women said they would go for a night stroll, bike ride, sit on a beach, some women had so much stuff that they would do they couldn't even name it. This is disheartening to say the very least. Men are suppose to be protectors, naturally, yet we fear them. That has to do with history and women being SO far removed to make them feel inferior, dirty and less than a man or even an animal. Women and their vaginas were once the most powerful things on this planet, they were worshipped, along comes men and religion that over threw women and her sacredness for patriarchy control, read Pussy Prayers, it details how women were once the most superior and we still are to this day but we are giving way to much power to men, like the job of "protecting us" when they don't see nothing of value to protect.  In this episode, I share the disrespect that I received from men after making a tweet that read, "I hope it's staged. Sis looks terrified and his actions screams "abusive", after the video surfaced from #SaltBae restaurant of the woman twerking and the man aggressively beating on the door to let him in. Another video, same location, different angle came out showing he wasn't even going after the woman twerking but yet another woman in the restaurant but before that, I was attacked for my opinion, the amount men that disrespected me and justified the mans behavior was sick, black men but we want them to protect us? Fuck them, not all black men but any man that feels disrespecting women or a women getting what she deserves, those are trash ass men. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/ticia-the-diva/support

These past two weeks have been a whirlwind and while I didn't release episodes for the past two weeks, I've still been recording, so kudos to that but this week episode, 'I need a therapist," has been at the forefront of my mind for some weeks now and as away to get my most genuine, authentic and unapologetic thoughts out, I created this space for myself that I've openly shared with you all for 2 years and it's been therapeutic for me. At 31 years of age, this is my first time living away from home and the transition has been overwhelming, especially during a pandemic and because of that, I need a therapist. In this episode, I share how I'm releasing judgement, leaving people where they are, removing myself from toxic and unhealthy situations and looking at this move as an advantage instead of a set back. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/ticia-the-diva/support
