Vanetta Rivera is a remarkable individual who has embarked on a challenging journey of motherhood at the young age of 17. Despite the difficulties that come with raising three teenagers, she remains determined and resilient. Vanetta is not only dedicated to her role as a mother but is also committed to her personal growth and education. Currently pursuing a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology while juggling full-time work and dealing with her own mental health challenges, Vanetta is an inspiration to others who may have faced similar struggles. Her ability to balance her responsibilities as a mother, student, and employee showcases her determination and dedication. One significant aspect of Vanetta's mission is to encourage individuals who started parenting early and didn't have the opportunity to pursue higher education to consider going back to school. She firmly believes that it's never too late to further one's education and work towards their goals. Vanetta's support system is strengthened by the presence of Terique, her husband, and high school sweetheart, who has been by her side throughout their journey together. Their partnership and commitment to each other provide a strong foundation for their family. Furthermore, Vanetta is an advocate for seeking therapy, emphasizing its importance even for those who may not believe they have mental health issues. She is dedicated to destigmatizing the idea that People of Color should not seek help for their mental well-being. Vanetta story serves as a source of inspiration and empowerment for others facing similar challenges, demonstrating that with determination, support, and a commitment to personal growth, it is possible to overcome obstacles and achieve one's goals.

What does it mean to be a fully awakened and expressed feminine goddess? I am recapping my experience from a 7-day Bali retreat hosted by Vonetta Taylor, mystic and founder of Crowned & Throned, a Modern Mystery School, which includes new insights I'm excited to share around “temple time.” I also detail the importance of receiving tender care, compassion, and generosity before we can give. Bali touched my heart in a unique way and it's been a long time since I have witnessed my worthiness solely for my humanity — this includes dancing, femininity, and setting intentions in a beautiful lush garden setting. Listen in to learn the first insight from my experience in Bali, and the relevance it may have for you. If you are enjoying these conversations, please subscribe and spread the love by leaving a review and sharing it with your friends.Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, TuneIn, or on your favorite podcast platform. Topics Covered: Questions about how this season of life is goingReminders about being gracious with yourselfRecap of a 7-day Bali retreat with Vonetta TaylorNew learnings about women-held ceremonies in temples An invitation to join an insider email list for solo entrepreneursWhat to expect on future episodes of Vitally YouConnect with Vonetta: Vonetta's WebsiteVonetta's InstagramGet in Touch: Become an insider and sign up for My Newsletter — scroll down to the box "Don't Miss A Thing"My WebsiteInstagramSpecial offers: Download the Daily Vitality eBook at danafrost.com/daily-vitality/Credit:Podcast Production by the team at The Wave PodcastingMusic by Phoebe GreenlandPhotography by Amy Boyle PhotographyPodcast art by SimplyBe.

Vanetta thinks she may have met The One at a wedding she just attended where she knew no one but the bride. During the reception she was feeling kind of awkward and lonely so she was sitting alone when a man came up and asked her to dance. He was in her words 'gorgeous' so she said yes. Before she knew it, it was two in the morning and they had danced and talked all night. The set up a real date and since her friends are sick of hearing about this guy she had to call in to gush about him to Simon.

From Harvard sociologist and MacArthur "Genius" Matthew Desmond, a landmark work of scholarship and reportage that will forever change the way we look at poverty in America In this brilliant,heartbreaking book, Matthew Desmond takes us into the poorest neighborhoods of Milwaukee to tell the story of eight families on the edge. Arleen is a single mother trying to raise her two sons on the $20 a month she has left after paying for their rundown apartment. Scott is a gentle nurse consumed by a heroin addiction. Lamar, a man with no legs and a neighborhood full of boys to look after, tries to work his way out of debt. Vanetta participates in a botched stickup after her hours are cut. All are spending almost everything they have on rent, and all have fallen behind. The fates of these families are in the hands of two landlords: Sherrena Tarver, a former schoolteacher turned inner-city entrepreneur, and Tobin Charney, who runs one of the worst trailer parks in Milwaukee. They loathe some of their tenants and are fond of others, but as Sherrena puts it, “Love don’t pay the bills.” She moves to evict Arleen and her boys a few days before Christmas. Even in the most desolate areas of American cities, evictions used to be rare. But today, most poor renting families are spending more than half of their income on housing, and eviction has become ordinary, especially for single mothers. In vivid, intimate prose, Desmond provides a ground-level view of one of the most urgent issues facing America today. As we see families forced into shelters, squalid apartments, or more dangerous neighborhoods, we bear witness to the human cost of America’s vast inequality—and to people’s determination and intelligence in the face of hardship. Based on years of embedded fieldwork and painstakingly gathered data, this masterful book transforms our understanding of extreme poverty and economic exploitation while providing fresh ideas for solving a devastating, uniquely American problem. Its unforgettable scenes of hope and loss remind us of the centrality of home, without which nothing else is possible. give it a'listen It's a real Freaky Friday on the show today: Candace's audio was good and Ash's sucked balls.

 My Sister My Seed was founded in 2013 by Dr. Vanetta R. Rather to address the personal, social, and systemic issues that negatively affect and impact women and girls.  After over a decade of preaching to youth and families as an ordained minister, Dr. Rather sought additional methods to address the needs of those she served.  With 70% of women and children in the US currently living in or on the brink of poverty, domestic sex trafficking devastating the lives of women and girls from every socio-economic background, and a broken system of education that leaves minority students behind, Dr. Rather felt compelled and called to action.  My Sister My Seed is the response to that call.
