What Motherhood has Taught Me.


I am going to mess up and that's ok. 
I don't know everything and that's ok. 
I need help and that's okay. 



Being a mother is the most rewarding and overwhelming titles you can hold. I wanted to share some of the things that I have learned over the past 4 years with you all for someone who may need it. I am new to this but believe in such a short time I have learned the importance of asking for help, being present in the moment and not stressing over things. I was one of those mom's who that I had to do everything on my own but I quickly became stressed out so I had to learn to lean more on other people and be willing to ask for help because most people don't know you need help unless you say something. I am forever evolving as a mother but I just wanted to share what I have gone through that taught me a very valuable lesson.

The road to motherhood was not an easy one for me. I went through some issues with conceiving, was told I'll never be able to have kids and almost gave up when I found out I was pregnant.... It's been a rollercoaster but I've been enjoying the ride. With all the ups and downs that comes with being a mom, I wouldn't trade it for the world.

How long do you spend on social media a day? Week? Or Month? What are you getting out of being on Social media. Is it causing you to take valuable time away from doing things you should be doing? Do you find yourself comparing your life ti thouse you follow on social media in a way that makes you feel less than? Social media gives us access to millions of people. Keeps us close to our family friends and loved ones whike staying up on the latest celebrity or rappers lifes. When is the last time you took a step back to reevaluate how you feel after being on social media for a while. Do you feel less than or not good enough because of what someone else has posted? This week I'm discussing how the time you spend on social media can effect your perception of yourself.

Are you afraid of something? Not the known like water, heights or dogs. I am talking about fear of the unknown. Fear of going after what you want in life. Fear of starting that business because you may fail. Fear of leaving that toxic relationship because no matter how bad it is, at least it's known and predictable. Fear of applying for that job you really want.  Well I know that fear all too well. I have let the fear of the unknown crapple me so much in life that I am fed up with fear. I am tired of not trusting or believing in myself to see something through because I might fell. Hell what is failure anyway. In 2019 I am putting fear behind me and going for everything I want in life unapologetically because I owe it to myself. It is my home that this episode inspires you as well to no longer live in fear and make a conscious effort everyday to go after the things that you want in life and face fear head on.





Also 2 podcast that I want to highlight this week are from 2 of my college friends. Ms. LaQuisha Nelson: Black Girl Abroad and Ms. Derreka Shelton with Black Rose Educators #TeachersHappyHour. Head over and check them out as well. They have some excellent content. Ms. Nelson discusses her experience with living abroad and Ms. Shelton looks to assist new and seasoned teachers with navigating  their roles as advocates for the kids.

This week we are discussing the topic of trending topic of Sexual Abuse and rape allegations that have been in the headlines of news and social media to try to understand why feel that they can or deserve to assault other people. Three of the headlines I will be discussing is the incident  where the the 29 year old woman in vegetative state since she was 3 years old gave birth in December 2018, The backlash from the series called Surviving R. Kelly and the new incident where Jasmine Eiland was raped in the night club in Atlanta Opera. What goes on in the mind of a predator and how to deal and heal from the trauma of sexual abuse.

Happy New Year!! I just wanted to create a quick podcast to check in with my Jes Liv Family. I haven’t forgot about you all, there has just been a lot going on and a lot in the works. It is important to be that I am speaking on topics that are prevalent to what’s going on and over the past few weeks between the holidays, me being sick and deciding I needed some me time to rest and just be, I hadn’t had time to get around to recording a podcast. Jes being real, lol. But no seriously, I have been brainstorming on what I want to do for the new year and I am working on creating a series and inviting guest on to speak about those topics for each specific topic. I have been procrastinating because it requires me to get out of my comfort zone and just ask, I am afraid they will say no, even though I know they probably won’t, I know what you’re thinking, that’s crazy right… But it’s my truth and one of my flaws I am working through. So I have 3 series that I am looking into working on 1) Health & Wellness- Speaking on the importance of taking care of your overall physical, mental and spiritual self. 2) What About Your Friends- speaking on the importance of having strong people in your corner and also inviting my 3 besties on to speak on the evolution of our friendships and what they have going on.3) Boss Women- A discussion on women who are doing their thing in their business. What inspired them to do and I they keep going). So even though I am delayed with posting a podcast, I am still working behind the scene to provide you all with great content to you all. I have also created a Linktree, Youtube Channel and Instagram account specifically for my podcast so make sure you all subscribe. Thanks for all the love and support, I truly appreciate it.
