Black Girl Joy

As a society, we take pride in saying "I did it all by myself." But is this ever really true or necessary? Everyone needs a team of people they can trust and rely on during times of transition. This week we are breaking down who should and should not be in your inner circle when you are going through a growth spurt.   Please welcome, Tangie Dale, coach and consultant, to Black Girl Joy!

Life tests each and every one of us. We all have a maze of challenges, unexpected tragedies, and hard fought comebacks that we are navigating daily. Unlike tests in school, there's no answer key and study guide to provide the answers. There's no A+ or C-s. There's only survival. You can survive and grow or you can survive and slowly diminish. On this episode of Black Girl Joy, Greg Graham (AVM_Superhero) joins us to discuss growing through adversity.

Of every relationship we have, the one we have no choice in is our family. And when family members indulge in the practice of keeping secrets, telling untruths, and denying reality, it can cause a rift that seems irreparable. This week, we will be exploring the concept of forgiveness.   Entrepreneur, Falisha Riaye, will join us to discuss her experience with family secrets and struggle with forgiveness.   Remember to LIKE, SHARE, and SUBSCRIBE.   Watch LIVE YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@blackgirljoypodcast Facebook: www.facebook.com/blackgirljoypodcast   Learn more about Falisha's story and work: https://linktr.ee/Falishariaye   Watch or Listen to Replays Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0wfhJ3i...

Change is inevitable, but each of us harness the power to mold change for the good of ourselves and our community. When we avoid or deny change, we shrink ourselves and our impact. We miss the available opportunities and are blind to the possibilities. If we can embrace change (even when it's uncomfortable), we can shift the future in our favor.    On this episode, Cara-Marie Findlay joins us to discuss: - What does it mean to drive change? - What are the indications that change is needed? - How do we redefine our relationship with change? Why is it important to do so? - What is an approach to drive change within ourselves and within our community?   Remember to LIKE, SHARE, and SUBSCRIBE.   Watch LIVE YouTube:   www.youtube.com/@blackgirljoypodcast Facebook: www.facebook.com/blackgirljoypodcast   Learn more about Cara's work: https://peoplecentreddevelopment.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/cara-marie-fhg/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/findlay-house-global/ https://www.facebook.com/findlayhouseglobal   Watch or Listen to Replays Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0wfhJ3i...

We all have our own, unique vision of the perfect life. One where everything is in perfect balance and harmony. But can this be a reality? As women advance in their careers, start families, and pursue personal passions, can they truly live "The Sweet Life" or are they destined to eventually reach the boiling point of burnout? On this episode, Tania and I will address: - What it means to live "The Sweet Life" - The challenges of trying to "have it all" - The role of clarity and boundaries - How to know when you "have it all" Connect with Tania: https://www.instagram.com/cakes_by_sw...   Remember to LIKE, SHARE, and SUBSCRIBE: Watch LIVE Wednesdays @ 6:30p Eastern YouTube:  www.youtube.com/@blackgirljoypodcast Facebook: www.facebook.com/blackgirljoypodcast Watch or Listen to Replays Anytime Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0wfhJ3i...

"Youth is wasted on the young." Maybe that was true 100 years ago, but women are now redefining age and dropping the fear of "getting old".

On this episode, Audrey and I will address: - What changed for women when it comes to aging? - What traditions/thought patterns have been left in the past? - How has society impacted the change in women's attitudes? - What do men need to know about the new normal? - What would you say to other generations?

In honor of Women's History Month, we will kick off March discussing the Power of Women. Women are a force in society... breaking down barriers, glass ceiling, and locked doors. When we truly own our power, we are unstoppable.   On this episode, Shandra Stringer joins us to discuss:  - How powerful women have shaped our lives?  - How do we tap into our power as women (individually and collectively)?    Remember to LIKE, SHARE, and SUBSCRIBE:   Follow Shandra: https://www.facebook.com/shandra.stringer Watch LIVE  YouTube: www.youtube.com/@blackgirljoypodcast  Facebook: www.facebook.com/blackgirljoypodcast   Watch or Listen to Replays  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0wfhJ3i...  Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...  Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0...   If you are interested in one-on-one life or career coaching, please email joy@active-potential.com to set up a free consultation.  #blackgirljoy #blackgirlmagic #live #livestream #support #goals #motivation #motivationalvideos #motivational #motivationalspeaker #motivationalvideo #inspiration #success #inspirational #selfhelp #selfdiscovery

We often think of "history" as old stories from a LONG, long time ago. As a Black woman, I am one generation away from the Civil Rights Movement. I am two generations away from sharecropping. I am only three or four generations way from the Civil War. This makes Black History very recent and very personal.    In honor of Black History Month, Markerra Larkin joins us to discuss:  - What is our black history?  - How did the events often discussed as black history impact us personally?  - Why is recognizing our roots necessary and powerful?   Remember to LIKE, SHARE, and SUBSCRIBE:  Watch LIVE  YouTube: www.youtube.com/@blackgirljoypodcast   Facebook: www.facebook.com/blackgirljoypodcast   Watch or Listen to Replays  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0wfhJ3i...  Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...  Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0...   If you are interested in one-on-one life or career coaching, please email joy@active-potential.com to set up a free consultation.     #blackgirljoy #blackgirlmagic #live #livestream #support #goals #motivation #motivationalvideos #motivational #motivationalspeaker #motivationalvideo #inspiration #success #inspirational #selfhelp #selfdiscovery #blackhistorymonth

Motivation can be as fluid as the ocean. Sometimes we have extremely high motivation. We are active and relentless in the pursuit of what we want. Nothing can hold us back. But then there are times when motivation wanes. We slow down, start to doubt ourselves. Often, we give up completely.    Since February is the month when most goals for the new year are abandoned, I'm inviting Tara King to discuss:   - What is motivation and how does it influence our actions?  - Does motivation carry too much weight in lives?  - How can we overcome the lack of motivation?   - How can we become masters of our motivation, creating our own limitless supply?             JOIN the conversation by sending comments or questions in the chat LIVE every Wednesday at 6:30pm Eastern.

To live your best life, you must heal. We live in a society that demands we pick up and move on without truly healing from our experiences and traumas. These unhealed parts of us not only impact our enjoyment of life, but can also impact our ability to elevate ourselves professionally and personally. Chalice Nelson, LPC joins us to discuss the process of healing and how creativity can support the process.   Chalice Nelson joins us to share her expertise regarding...  - What it means to heal? How would one know they need to heal?  - What it means to be creative with self care and/or mental health?  - How can creativity impact the healing process?  - What type of activities work best?  - What are common misunderstandings regarding healing and creativity?

Before you set goals, resolutions, and intentions... you need to understand who YOU are and what YOU want. So, when you strip away the roles (employee, parent, friend, influencer, etc.), WHO ARE YOU?   Veronica Melton-Lamar joins us to discuss her experience finding her true self.  - How did she come to the conclusion that she didn't know herself?  - How the journey has changed the way she thinks and acts?  - What hard truths did she have to come to terms with?  - What signs did she missed along the way?  Remember to LIKE, SHARE, and SUBSCRIBE:  Watch LIVE YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@blackgirljoypodcast Facebook: www.facebook.com/blackgirljoypodcast Watch or Listen to Replays Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0wfhJ3i...   Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...   Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0...     If you are interested in one-on-one life or career coaching, please email joy@active-potential.com to set up a free consultation.       #blackgirljoy #blackgirlmagic #live #livestream #support #goals #motivation #motivationalvideos #motivational #motivationalspeaker #motivationalvideo #inspiration #success #inspirational #selfhelp #selfdiscovery

Lets have a hard conversation... Do you have a vision for your life? Are you living in alignment with YOUR vision or someone else's?  Typically for the New Year, I'd ask you to set goals, but this year I'm asking you to get to know yourself before you do anything else. That means defining your own unique vision.   This week we discuss:  What role did you play in where you are now?  What to focus on when creating your vision?  What to tune out when creating your vision?  How to turn your vision to reality?    JOIN the conversation LIVE every Wednesday at 6:30pm EST on YouTube.

Code switching is no longer an option... But this goes beyond code switching. So many of us are walking around in a mask, uncomfortable being our true selves, express our true feelings, or live our full lives.   We will discuss: Which masks do we wear?

This week we are joined by Jerri Crenshaw, a mother of a child with special needs. Though many make it look easy, parenting is an extremely demanding responsibility.

Many of us gave up on our dreams ages ago. When faced with the realities of adulting, we focused on finding a "safe" career that had little to do with our passions and more to do with being practical.

Some times in life, you just need to reset and start over. This week we are joined by Camyljah Giddens as we discuss rebuilding and reimagining life. Our vision of what life "should be" is often built from a complex matrix of influencers (parents, society, Disney, etc.). As a child/teenager, it can seem as simple as directions on a Waze map and if I follow the simple directions (turn left, turn right, merge), I will end up at the destination I entered at the beginning. But that is simply not reality. On this episode of Black Girl Joy, we explore:  The difference between our dreams and our reality  Coming to terms with what we wanted versus what was  Reimaging what was possible and redesigning our lives  Starting a new life in a new place  Advice for those looking for a major change   Remember to join the conversation by sending comments or questions in the chat and we will share them LIVE.       Remember to LIKE, SHARE, and SUBSCRIBE:  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0wfhJ3i...   Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...   Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0...    If you are interested in one-on-one life or career coaching, please email joy@active-potential.com.
