While We're Waiting... The Podcast Z. Johnson

Happy Valentine's Day, Waiters!

It’s Z-your favorite podcast host. This is While We're Waiting... The Podcast's final episode of the The Real Love Series - Chapter 2.  

I’m so excited to introduce our series’ youngest featured couple, Mr. & Mrs. Fred & Keongela Randle! Last month, they celebrated one year of marital bliss.  

Keongela and I have known each other for over 12 years and she always said that she planned on being the last friend to get married. Her wise, hilarious and tenacious husband, Fred, knew without a shadow of a doubt that Keongela was “his one,” and after hearing their episode—you'll see why Keongela didn’t mind moving around her “life events timeline,” to change her last name. My biggest takeaway from the interview? Heal! You and your spouse needs it!

Enjoy our last featured couple, Mr. & Mrs. Fred & Keongela Randle, entitled “The Requirements of Marriage: Compromise, Vulnerability, and Healing.” 

The Real Love Series is dedicated to my parents, Mr. David & Mrs. Paula DeBoles-Johnson, celebrating thirty years of marriage this year. I sincerely thank all of the couples featured in this chapter, The Hunters, Hammonds and Randles, for sharing their real love stories!

Hey, Waiters!

It’s Z, your favorite podcast host. 

Welcome back to another special edition of While We’re Waiting’s The Real Love Series - Chapter 2.

I hope  the premiere episode featuring The Hunters helped you realize that marriage is not only an amazing adventure, but it also requires dedication and commitment. 

Celebrating 25 years of holy matrimony this May, our second featured couple, Mr. & Mrs. Todd & Stacia Hammond, met at Florida A&M University. Music, friendship and of course—real love—brought these two together. But, their marriage has stood the tests of time due to hard work and unity. In this episode, they made it clear that spouses should keep the “d word”--divorce-out of their vocabularies. Also, discuss why getting pre-marital counseling should be the standard for all couples ready to walk down the aisle! Waiters, before you start getting sad about not having a “bae” for Valentine’s, listen to this episode first. Trust me, waiting for your destiny partner is worth it! 

Enjoy Mr. & Mrs. Todd & Stacia Hammond's episode entitled, “The Requirements of Marriage: Friendship, Investment and Unity,” brought to you by The Real Love Series, a While We’re Waiting... The Podcast Valentine's special!

The Real Love Series is dedicated to my parents, Mr. David & Mrs. Paula DeBoles-Johnson, celebrating thirty years of marriage this year. I want to sincerely thank this season's series couples: The Hunters, Hammonds and Randles, for sharing their real love stories!

Hello, Waiters!  Welcome back to While We’re Waiting (W3)... The Podcast!   It’s your favorite podcast host, Z!   I'm excited to bring back Chapter 2 of W3’s Valentine’s Holiday special, The Real Love Series!  I knew that we needed more couples to give us hope in spite of how crazy these dating streets are right now! For the next three Tuesdays leading up to February 14th, you’ll hear from The Hunters, Randles and Hammonds, as they share what they believe are “The Requirements of Marriage.” Our first featured couple is Mr. Robert & Mrs. Amanda Hunter. With over thirteen years of marriage, their key message was that the husband and wife are both responsible for giving and taking. This unselfish mindset means having the willingness to take care of each other and, the only way to do that is to first establish a friendship before dating. Also, that whatever you do pray for is what you will get—so pray wisely, Waiters!  Enjoy While We’re Waiting’s The Real Love Series - Chapter 2 premiere episode entitled, “The Requirements of Marriage: Grace, Communication & Reciprocity,” featuring Mr. & Mrs. Robert & Amanda Hunter!  The Real Love Series is dedicated to my parents, Mr. David & Mrs. Paula DeBoles-Johnson, celebrating thirty years of marriage this year. I sincerely thank this chapter's series couples: The Hunters, Hammonds and Randles, for sharing their real love stories!

Hey, Waiters! 

I'm your host, Z. Welcome back to While We're Waiting (W3)... The Podcast.

Season 2 of W3 and the 2022 year will always be memorable moments in my life. Through the highs and lows, I'm grateful that I was able to end December in Jamaica. I couldn't leave the Waiters behind so I decided to bring one of Season 1's favorite guests, Mrs. Paula DeBoles-Johnson, back for an exclusive recording! 

Entitled "Did You Drink Your Water, Sis?," mom and I discuss how water--symbolizing gratitude, humility, and of course, self-care--can positively or negatively impact your wellbeing. "No talk," reciprocity, and people pleasing bondage are just a few of the topics discussed in this well-overdue episode. Holding nothing back, my mom transparently shares how she's been guilty of not always "drinking her water" and why it's time that she and every female Waiter starts doing so now! 

Enjoy "Did You Drink Your Water, Sis?," a W3 special brought to you by Therapeutic RxConsulting's Protecting Joy Society, featuring Paula DeBoles-Johnson.

Hey, Waiters!

I'm your host, Z and this is While We're Waiting... The Podcast!

2022 is coming to a close and we know what that means--holiday shopping! 

But, Waiters, have you all made your budget list and checked it twice? If you haven't done so already, it's time to invest in yourself! 

I'm sure you've taken advice from Dave Ramsey or Suzie Orman before. But, it's time to add another financial expert to your podcast playlist! With over 25 years in the financial industry, I'm pleased to introduce Mr. David Johnson. 

You guessed it! Yes, he's my dad and he's also the reason I graduated from a six-year college program with NO student loans!

Waiters, grab your paper and a pen as you hear my dad's recommendations on savings, credit cards and retirement topics. This is a can't-miss episode!

Enjoy "Invest in Yourself," featuring from my dad and amazing "money guy," David Johnson.

Waiters, do you have a money question for my dad? Send your to email (shopsmart12@icloud.com), and I'll share it with him!

Hey, Waiters!
I'm your host, Z. Welcome back to While We're Waiting... The Podcast! 
Hope you enjoyed my favorite holiday, Thanksgiving, as much as I did. Now that the turkey and dressing is out of the way, it's time get back in these dating streets!  
I could not think of a better person to talk about her dating adventures than Attorney/Podcaster/YouTuber and Comedian, Caila Coleman.
Today’s episode entitled, The Art of Dating: Online Edition, features my soul sister who lets us know why it's important to have boundaries and standards prior to clicking away. Also, why swiping 'left or right' is needed to meet your perfect match. 
Waiters, I hope that this discussion keeps you encouraged while dating virtually. Remember to stay safe and vigilant--a lot of people online (and in real life), aren't always who they claim to be. Enjoy my phenomenal guest, Attorney Coleman in The Art of Dating: Online Edition!
