Last week I decided to do a random episode on FB Live and record it. After attending a conference Saturday, I was so inspired and wanted to share that inspiration with you.     One of the top questions millennials (young and old) are asking ourselves is “What is my purpose?”  We know that we are not where we used to be, but also that we are not where we want to be either. It’s hard feeling like your stuck in a place that doesn’t give you any fulfillment.     Today we’re talking about what it really takes to find your purpose and create the kind of life you deserve.   We’ll Discuss: The role of authenticity in purpose fulfillment Why you are struggling to find your purpose How your facade is preventing you from building a support network Announcements Check out Heart 2 Heart w/ Latrice Sampson Richards at https://www.blackmarriedfly.com/heart2heart   Most Recent Post: “How to Find a Real One”   This episode is brought to you by: Audible This month I’m listening to The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead.   Get your free download and 30-day trial of Audible here: www.audibletrial.com/unicornstalk/   The Black Unicorn Project Come see what’s new at www.theblackunicornproject.com   Join My FREE FB Group, Trust Village: Trust Village: A Safe Place for Healing and Manifestation.

Every week I get naked for ya’ll.  I strip away my fears and allow myself to be vulnerable because I know that you need me to.  I truly believe in the power of sharing our stories with each other, especially the stories that make us feel uncomfortable.  So, yes, I do this for you. But in reality, I do it for me more than anything. Getting naked, is a surefire way to see yourself in your purest, most raw form- literally and figuratively.  For many, the idea of nakedness evokes a fear that they are not sure they can handle. Today, we are talking about how to confront that fear, get comfortable with being naked, and strengthen your relationship with yourself and others. We’ll discuss: How the fear of being naked affects our relationships The benefit of shedding your clothes The steps involved in truly getting naked This episode is brought to you by: Audible My March book selection is “The Underground Railroad” by Colson Whitehead.

Did you know that counselors complete at least three thousand hours of direct and indirect experience before they’re fully licensed? It’s a complicated journey, but I’ve always been fascinated by why and how people do the things they do, so it’s totally worth it.   Pretty much everywhere I go someone wants to talk about my work. Once they find out I’m a counselor they end up telling me all about their lives and their personal struggles. Some may find this difficult to deal with, but it’s part of the job; and I LOVE IT!!   I also get approached by those who are interested in beginning a career in the helping professions themselves.  The same questions come up over and over, so today, I’m going to answer all of those questions once and for all.   If you are looking at a career in the counseling industry, thinking about seeing a therapist and need to know what to look for, or just want to make sure I know what I’m talking about, this episode is for you!   We’ll discuss: My personal journey into the counseling industry General requirements for licensure including educational paths The difference between Counselors, Social Workers, Psychiatrists, and Psychologists The transition from counseling to coaching, and The reality of making money in the helping professions   This episode is brought to you by: Audible This month I’m listening to “Shook One”, by Charlamagne tha God.
