    EP 22: Redefining Family Traditions and Identity

    Join us for an engaging discussion on family dynamics and identity exploration as I, Ariel, welcome my amazing cousin Cameron to the podcast. Together, we reflect on our experiences growing up as Black women and the powerful influence of family on shaping our identities. In the *Her Voice, Her Story* segment, I celebrate Cameron, not only as a remarkable cousin but also as a cherished friend.   We dive into the generational differences within our family, exploring the older generation's preference for privacy and formality compared to our more open, candid approach. This conversation shines a light on the structured nature of our family gatherings, steeped in tradition and etiquette, while also highlighting how our understanding of these dynamics has shifted over time.   We also explore the complexities of parenting and communication styles, reflecting on the lessons learned from our own upbringing and how they now shape our approach to raising children. Emphasizing the value of open communication, we challenge traditional views that equate gentle parenting with weakness. Instead, we advocate for fostering environments where children feel heard, respected, and empowered to express their needs and boundaries confidently.       Follow Ariel: Instagram: @‌the_arielb TikTok: @‌the_arielb Website: This Too Shall Pass Podcast ‌ Watch Full Video On YouTube ‌ Email your letters/advice questions to thearielbpod@gmail.com Join the email list HERE and dont miss an episode or Exclusive merch drop This podcast is produced and edited by Idea to Launch Productions

    EP 20: Entrepreneurship Hustle Era

    Join me, Ariel, on this week's episode of "This Too Shall Pass," where I share my unexpected journey from being let go from my job to discovering the power of social media as a source of multiple income streams. I'll open up about the unsteady yet hopeful transition and tackle a listener's question about high-yield savings accounts. Learn about my experiences with American Express and UFB Bank, and gain insights into how these accounts work. We'll also explore the challenges of maintaining gratitude while juggling motherhood, with children ranging from preschool to high school, and finding financial stability amidst life's unpredictability.   In our discussion on personal health and family dynamics, we touch on the complexities of balancing personal health, motherhood, and personal growth. Hear about my struggles with weight gain, the importance of understanding family health history, and the challenges of stepping out of my comfort zone. We'll also embrace the joys of summer with kids and the simplicity of daily life without school-year stress. Plus, I share the mixed emotions surrounding a co-parent's move to Florida and the intricate dynamics of extended family relationships. And, for a lighter note, get ready to laugh at the humorous and awkward moments that come with dating.       Follow Ariel: Instagram: @‌the_arielb TikTok: @‌the_arielb Website: This Too Shall Pass Podcast ‌ Watch Full Video On YouTube ‌ Email your letters/advice questions to thearielbpod@gmail.com Join the email list HERE and dont miss an episode or Exclusive merch drop This podcast is produced and edited by Idea to Launch Productions
