Peace and Blessings! After a long hiatus, what better day to release a new episode than World Sickle Cell Day as well as Juneteenth!? Sickle Cell isn’t something that should only be acknowledged on June 19 but everyday because of the amount of people affected due to lack of information! Add Juneteenth to the equation and you have an episode that is transparent and necessary.

Happy New Year! With this being the first episode of the year, I wanted to get straight to the point. These are different times and we should use this new year to slowly implement new behaviors and habits. Covid-19’s impact on society is still being felt but if you have a chronic condition, your circumstances are different. Being someone who has sickle cell, this is my opportunity to do the work. Addressing the importance of my physical well-being as well as dieting and the challenges that brings is the overall theme of this episode.

Enjoy this episode and hopefully, you can find some insightful ideas to think about as this new year begins. Thank you for listening and again have a happy and healthy new year!

Since the last episode, I’ve been able to address somethings I’ve been avoiding internally for while. Do I want to have surgery and when? Should I even try physical therapy? As simple as it seems, I dive into why I’ve struggled making this decision and where I stand now. I also speak about the mentality needed to prepare for a surgery as individual and/or with a support system. Enjoy 🙏🏾

On this episode I wanted to address my views of “time” and how it has affected me. The pandemic has forcefully change how, where, and who people spend their time with. For better or worse, creating a opportunity to STOP and understand your situation a tab bit clear than prior. For me, I started to see how having more time than usual was an adjustment that was not as prepared for as I thought. I also touch on being selfish, and how I’ve grown to see how it’s a good thing, and more. Follow

Being that September is Sickle Cell Awareness Month and with the unfortunate passing of Chadwick Boseman from colon cancer, the topic of genetic history needed to be addressed. It’s been a while but this topic and the passing of Chadwick was something I was moved to speak about. I hope you found this episode somewhat informative!

It’s Mother’s Day and Nurse’s Appreciation Week so I wanted to take the time to talk to someone who is both a mother and RN Clinical Coordinator. With nurses being on the frontlines during the Covid-19 pandemic, I discussed with my guest what it’s like and how it feels for nurses trying to balance the changes they’ve been faced with in this pandemic. As a mother and single parent, we discussed the reasons she’s moved to different types of nursing positions and why being a mother had an effect on that.
