25 JUN 2017 · Today my guest is Kenna Williams, a renowned world traveler who hails from Oxnard, CA by way of Memphis, TN. She is a dynamic 40 year old professional woman who works as an Aerospace Engineer in the Defense industry and she is the creator of the famous hashtag #BookDatIsht which simply means to book flights immediately without questioning anything! Friends call her Pusha Kee for her incredible ability to gently encourage individuals to step out of their comfort zone and push life to the edge. She's known in travel circles for her infamous #DubaiBlackOut trips and her upcoming group trip to South Africa. She is constantly manifesting her dreams and uses the term #YearOfYesManifest to get what she wants out of life. Her manifesting life began in 2015 when she was tired of getting nothing in return until she learned how to hone in and become more focused on what she truly wanted. She faithfully lives, breathes, and eats the MANIFEST LIFE, as she calls it. One of her mottos in regards to her manifest is "It is so because I said so!"   I came to know Kenna via her Facebook page where she is creating a quiet yet powerful revolution in the way that her friends and followers find love. Listen as she explains what she means by living "The Manifest Life" and shares inspiring success stories that keep me coming back to her page.  Stay tuned to her instagram for her upcoming website release!

4 JUN 2017 · The convention about breakups is that they happen when communication and cooperation have broken down so much that being in the relationship is worse than not being in the relationship.

21 MAY 2017 · Janiele Lewis was born into a family of strong Jamaican women who taught her to value her mind first and develop a rugged attitude in the face of adversities, especially adversities of the heart. She learned to expect betrayal and ignore emotional pain, even when her heart was breaking. Eventually, her body broke down, paralyzing her, and forcing her to face that pain. Through her experience, Janiele came to understand how connected her emotional experiences were to her physical wellbeing. Over time, Janiele has developed a more holistic attitude toward heartbreak and other emotional experiences. She has learned the benfits of releasing that which does not serve her. Join me as Janiele shares what she has discovered on her road to emotial well being along with the self-care practices that she has developed to detoxify the body and the soul.  Music: http://www.purple-planet.com

7 MAY 2017 · SANGOMA: The Break Up Whisperer is all about break ups. Not just this episode. The whole show! We'll talk about breaking up from nuts to bolts, from inside and outside, from up and down, we're going to dive into the social, cultural, political, economic, spiritual, and even biological significance of breaking up.  During this episode we'll talk in general about why break ups are such a big deal for so many people. Break ups are really common life events that are likely to happen to pretty much everybody so why all the pearl clutching and hand wringing? Why do we talk about break ups in hushed, gossipy tones and judgmental whispers (ooooh, child, you know what he did). Why do celebrity break ups dominate the tabloids and bring in high ratings for reality shows? Why can the end of a private relationship become a public spectical that brings a community to its knees?  Join me and my guest, the musician and actor Lex RocHart, as we kick off SANGOMA: The Break Up Whisperer and try to figure out what makes break ups such a big deal.  Lex is also my musical guest for the show. Her new EP comes out on August 26, 2017 and you're going to get a sneak preview.  Our intro music for this show is called Cool Struttin', brought to us by the folks over at Purple Planet Music. www.purple-planet.com. Join us LIVE on May 7th at 7pmEST. We can't wait to  talk with you! Music: http://www.purple-planet.com
