Hey, friends, hey!I can't believe April is almost over! 2021 is flying! I am so excited to connect with you all again and I hope you're doing the best you can with where you are. The other week, I received a Q&A from someone who listens to the show about staying sober? Although the question was very straightforward, it hit me differently and I immediately went into the subtext.  My Cancerian spidey senses were tingling. For some of you that have been listening for a while, you may already know where I'm going to go but I hope you still join me during this storytime hour because I had to get this off my spirit today!Take a listen.

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeya friends!!!I am joined on the show by Jimmy. He is a native New Yorker, born and raised in the Bronx, a former lean addict who used cooking and painting to heal and recover from addiction. He's also my partner in crime -- so I'm happy he's joining us. In this episode, we talk about:Jimmy's childhood and how the abuse he suffered impacted his actions and sense of selfWhy he got into cooking and what he's learnedBlack men and how they're perceived when it comes to abuse and recoveryHow he came to "own" his story and why he considers the culinary world a group of misfitsWhat caused him to pick up painting, what he hopes to do with it and what he's learned about himself in the processThere was so much courage and wisdom in his story. I wish I could have shared it all but it would have been a LONG episode but I plan to release the unedited version one day soon! ----------Stay safe out there, friends!

GREETINGS, FRIENDS!Happy to be back. Had to take an unexpected pause because of mental health and self-care but I am so excited to be back with you all. Also, happy that SPRING is basically here!In this episode, I'm talking about labels in recovery. Someone asked me who is newly sober-curious if it was okay to use that label for themselves since they're really just exploring and not sure about commitment yet.I found this thought interesting (well the label aspect) and I took it to the pod! Also, if you're curious about what I told them, it's right at the start of the show. Let's dive on in, shall we??!!! Also, do you feel labels are helpful or harmful? ----------Stay safe out there, friends!

Hey, friends, hey!I got a Q&A from someone who listens to the show about my stance, view, thoughts on balancing being in recovery without having to be defined by it? And this can apply to whether you call yourself in recovery, sober, etc -- your word choice is well...your choice. This will be another short and sweet one and my first in 2021! WHAT?! Anyway, this question was interesting to me because of some of the changes that I'm going through.My two cents is that you should be the one to define yourself. Whatever feels good to you (cue: Yoga with Adriene -- I love her). I think we get into our heads with what to label ourselves, how it comes across, how out there do we have to be -- when it's not about that. It's about changing our lives, growing for the positive, and if you want it to be what defines you? Great. If you want it to define you right now because you don't feel shame about it? Groovy. If you'd rather not and keep it personal, right on.We have to do what serves us best in this life.  I have grown so much since starting this show, while I love what I'm doing and who I have met as my recovery or sobriety has grown stronger, I've decided that I want to start amplifying other voices and talk about other topics of interest within the recovery community. Will this show talk about recovery or addiction on some level? Yes, but as I grow -- the show will morph a bit. I hope you stay on this wild ride with me.Take a listen. Let me know what you think? Agree or disagree?----------Stay safe out there, friends!

Friends, friends, friends....we made it!!!I can't believe it's the end of the damn year! But it's here. I swear, it feels like yesterday we were ringing in 2020 and positioning ourselves to start this new decade with a BANG.But hey, life had other plans for us, and HERE WE ARE. I typically like to use the last days of the year to look at how my year was and what I plan to prioritize in the upcoming year. Friends, there was a lot this year. To be candid -- once COVID and quarantine hit, I got hit with a bad case of depression, and the death of my friend/mentor rocked me more on top of that. This year, it was about humility. And giving myself the grace to be depressed and not giving myself guilt over it. And man, it was hard, but I got there. In this episode, I want to talk about some of the nuggets that I landed on to usher me into 2021. Lacey and Nik from the Sober Company podcast also joined me to chop it up about 2020 too. I like to consider it a conversational inventory, which I encourage you to either do on your own OR gather some friends and dive deep into what this year really meant to you. We discussed:The clusterfu*k of 2020 overallWhat we learned about our recoveryWhat we learned about ourselvesWhat we accepted about ourselves Diversity + Inclusion in the sober communityOur plans for our podcasts!I hope you enjoy this episode. It's more conversational in most, but I wanted it to be a lil' loose as we head into the unknown of 2021. ----------Stay safe out there, friends!

Hey, friends, hey!I got a Q&A from someone who listens to the show about my stance, view, thoughts on NA drinks when it comes to recovery.This episode will be short and sweet but net/net is that I decided that like most things in recovery (and how I see it), it depends on you. HOWEVER, I didn't touch NA drinks until after my first year! Trust, my social life was sho nuff interesting.  Why? Because your girl is QUEEN of not handling sh*t and I would have just used that as my crutch as a way to feel "normal" and not address my stuff. When in reality, life as I knew it then, had changed. Which, in hindsight, is okay but it sure as hell didn't feel like it then. Take a listen. Let me know what you think? Agree or disagree? ----------Stay safe out there, friends!

I had no clue, I talked to myself poorly and it showed up in all my relationships (friends, family, romantic or otherwise). It was nuts. So, I wanted to talk about my journey (that is still going on). In this episode, I will talk about:Family history and how it shaped me and my drinkingThings I would do when I was dishonoring myselfTiny steps that started me down the road of reclaiming me and what I'm feeling Admitting that at times, this process may be lonely but that's okay!

I can't believe it's October! It's National Mental Awareness month, so I want to focus on that as much as possible. As someone with depression, I like to be as transparent as I can be with all the things, especially as I started to navigate my life in recovery.Today's episode is on learning to identify whether you are restless and triggered! Yes, to some (including myself), I often confused one with the other because of how I thought it shown up in my body. But friends, friends, friends -- when I started to learn myself and actively started to work on what I needed, only then was I able to see the differences.In my opinion, restless = more interpersonal (something that is happening within you that unsettles you in some way). In contrast, being triggered is usually when something from the outside impacts you that causes you to go on HIGH ALERT in some way. Let's dive in, shall we? I will go over both, how it shows up for me and things I do NOW to circumvent the HELL out of it. Always a WIP, y'all. Always.Support the show

For those who may not have heard about it, this is a month where we highlight the strength and courage pertaining to sobriety.Today, we're going to tackle conditional statements!Those pesky if/then lies we tell ourselves to keep ourselves stuck in familiar patterns.I've used them for years, still do and I have to be aware when I see myself going down a familiar path to double-check if I'm trying to put a conditional clause all up and through this piece. ----- And as always, thank you for listening to my lovely show.

Hey friends! Received a two similar questions so decided to combine and answer for this week's episode.Should I get sober for other people?You know me, I will always say -- there is no hard and fast rules for anything in life. There are always outliers but for my personal viewpoint. I will say NOPE. Sobriety and recovery should always be a choice for you.Can you listen to others? Of course. Can they inform your decision? Why not! But it's up to you to decide to pull that trigger and change your life.It will impact you the most, you need to understand your why and while others can be a motivation -- if you don't come to want to be sober -- it is so quick to back slide. (Speak from personal experience here.)But I'm trying to save my relationship?! I get that too. If someone matters to us, we want to keep them in our lives. However, changing yourself for someone else's benefit may open you up to bitterness and resentment, if you don't get the reaction you want. Manipulation can come into play HARDCORE here too.Also, feelings may change, once you're in recovery. You're going to be rediscovering who you are, what you need versus what you want and you may outgrow people (whether you planned on it or not). Some relationships can weather this, others don't. So, you can't go into recovery with the notion that it's the one thing that will save your relationship.You can only save you. You need to keep that in mind and hope for the best with the rest. Gotta question for me? I'm always up to answer. Email, Tweet or DM me and I'll work to always provide the best answer possible!-----And as always, thank you for listening to my lovely show.

Decided to mix it up and drop an episode on Wednesday. It's also my birthday -- so HEY, HEY! A lot of this stuff is still top of mind for me. With everything going on, wanted to spend some time discussing summer sobriety. For some, the summer is like any other season but I know for me, I was hella social in the summer (birthdays, being out, late nights) so when I got sober I had to shift my expectations on how I thought summers should be. First, there are no hard and fast rules. These are some of the things that worked for me but like most things when it comes to recovery -- it's not one size fits all. Being Self Compassionate!Y'all know I love me some Self Compassion and I'm still all the way up in that. I leaned all the way into it because I realized there was SO much that I didn't know. While the thought of that would typically feel me with dread -- last summer, I really just embraced it. Surprisingly, it was freeing! You are new to all of this. You won't have the answer. Some things you won't even think about until you're in the situation. Totally valid. "You don't know, what you don't know."Have a Plan!Planning is not just for trips or work. I know we all want to go out, turn off minds and have fun but if you're navigating early recovery. PLAN THAT SHIT OUT. Some things that I did: brought my own beverages. That way I didn't have to worry about not having something to drink, someone spiking my drink, or accidentally picking up something that had booze in it.Another thing: I had someone come with me OR had someone I could call that knew my deal that I could talk to during or after the event. There's no shame in asking for help -- if you need it.  Also, if it gets old for you. You can change your mind and get the hell out at any time. It can happen before you attend, you know you don't want to go. Back out of it. While you're there? If it gets too much, totally fine to get up and leave. You have to do what is best for you. Find New Activities!Yes, I know we are all creatures of habit on some level. We want to feel like we're part of a group and diversifying out of that can fill us with dread. But friends, going outside your comfort zone and trying something new and proposing it to your social circle can be such a huge benefit! Not just to you but even your friends! You may end up really enjoying something that you would have side-eyed before. You may also meet new people at those places and that may be helpful to you too, especially if it's a sober activity. Just know, you will trip up at times. You will get triggered. It's just life but if you have some tools going into most situations, you can learn to navigate. However, it's normal. There isn't something wrong with you, we all go through it. You will learn (and become stronger) each time.It's all about what works for you, your health, your mental state, your recovery. Do what you need in order to feel safe. -----And as always, thank you for listening to my lovely show.

Today's episode I was joined by Michelle Mar to discuss 'On the Record.' A documentary on HBOmax that goes into the allegations surrounding Russell Simmons. Just a quick disclaimer that we will be talking about rape and sexual assault. If those topics are triggering for you, please proceed cautiously. Sexual abuse and survivors came to a lot quite a bit during the #MeToo movement. However, when it comes to the black entertainment industry, there was a lot of silence. So, when I heard there was going to be something created around the black music industry and the women who were involved in it -- I knew it was something I had to watch.While I'm not in the music business, I have had men try to approach and feel like they can coerce me into things that I didn't want to do in order to "gain" something. For me, it was usually career-related. In this documentary, we will discuss:Our feelings about the documentary, what resonated with us and whySexual assault in the black community. Why do we have to feel like we should keep silentBlack women and "protecting" black men How assault can amplify or cause addictive behaviorThe path to freedom from addiction and trauma I highly recommend watching the doc. I think you get a free week trial, which I know I enjoyed FULLY. If you or someone you know is battling sexual assault or trauma, I urge you to seek help here.Stay safe out there, friends!
