    No. 91: A Conversation with Death Doula about Grief, Death & The Fullness of Life.

    Hey Friends & Kin!

     

    FYI: THIS, JUST LIKE ALL EPISODES OF HAND ME MY PURSE, CONTAINS PROFANITY. THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT. Now that we've gotten that out of the way...

    _________

     

    Soooooooooo, this episode is a bit of a doozy. The topic is heavy, but it is so necessary. I had the pleasure of being in conversation with Alua Arthur, a beautiful black woman who is a Death Doula. The title alone, “DEATH DOULA”. That is a heavy title. I had a delightful conversation with Alua about her new book, “briefly perfectly human” which can be purchased here. The book is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING… It caused me to look at my life and really begin to think about how I value the fullness of my life. Do yourself the favor of 1. LISTENING TO THIS EPISODE & 2. PURCHASING HER BOOK!!!

     

    The conversation was one that brought about an actual physical response. The concept of grief, and in the way we began to discuss it on the show did something to my mind and my spirit. Take some time and listen to part one of this episode & then next week tune into part two! Run don’t walk to wherever you get your podcasts!

    No. 90: Self-deception & Self-Awareness + Missing Out On Living A FULL Life w/Ebony Vaughan - PART TWO.

    Hey Friends & Kin!

     

    FYI: THIS, JUST LIKE ALL EPISODES OF HAND ME MY PURSE, CONTAINS PROFANITY. THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT. Now that we've gotten that out of the way...

    Friends and Kin this episode is part two of a conversation all about SELF-DECEPTION & SELF-AWARENESS. My guest today is a friend of the show and an actual good friend of mine, Ms. Ebony Vaughan. Ebony has been on the show before! She and I were in conversation on episode No. 34 where we talked about self-love, self-worth and the authentic journey to freedom. Listen HERE to check that episode out. 

     

    In this episode we uncover the necessary tools for self-awareness as well as how you miss out on living your in the fullness of life by smothering yourself with the cloak of self-deception. In this state you tend to miss the beautiful bounty that God has for you. We really went in on the ways that a lack of authenticity can stop you from living a FULL LIFE. Please do yourself a favor and check this episode out and if you missed last week’s conversation - run, don’t walk to listen to it! It’s such a REAL conversation!

    No. 88: HAPPY 4th BIRTHDAY HAND ME MY PURSE + Missy Elliott is A NATIONAL TREASURE!!!

    No. 88: HAPPY 4th BIRTHDAY HAND ME MY PURSE + Missy Elliott is A NATIONAL TREASURE!!!

    Hey Friends & Kin!

     

    FYI: THIS, JUST LIKE ALL EPISODES OF HAND ME MY PURSE, CONTAINS PROFANITY. THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT. Now that we've gotten that out of the way...

    _________

     

    Friends and Kin LET’S START BY SAYING HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO HAND ME MY PURSE the podcast!!!! My baby is 4 years old on this day - April 1st, 2024. It’s been such an amazingly invigorating journey & I don’t play on stopping any time soon! I am learning so much about SO MUCH. Learning about myself and actively going through my healing journey right before your eyes. Working through grief, gratitude & growth. This show has been the catalyst for so many wonderful experiences. 

     

    I chose to not just do ONE jam for this episode. I decided to do FOUR + a bonus in celebration of HMMP’s birthday! I was on Spring Break & decided to go to Virginia Beach because it was in my budget. I was able to be close to the water, smell some new air, see some new faces, taste some different foods and just GET AWAY… I’ve said many times on the show that my mother’s father is from this area, the Tidewater Region - Newport News to be exact. Missy is as well, she’s from Portsmouth - so you know in my mind, we cousins. Even though I know we aren’t. Anyway, I love her and I feel like people don’t adore her and cherish her genius the way we should. So I decided to do so. Get into my 4 favorite Missy Elliott songs + a lil’ something I bet you’ve never heard before (which I made the actual jam)! I can’t wait for y’all to listen - all the links are down there. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

     

    This episode was really a reflection. A reflection of the past 4 years and the evolution of Hand Me My Purse. I appreciate all of you for taking this ride with me… YOU ARE LOVED. ❤️

    No. 87: A Conversation with The Professional Homegirl - Eboné Almon. PART TWO.

    No. 87: A Conversation with The Professional Homegirl - Eboné Almon. PART TWO.

    Hey Friends & Kin!

     

    FYI: THIS, JUST LIKE ALL EPISODES OF HAND ME MY PURSE, CONTAINS PROFANITY. THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT. Now that we've gotten that out of the way...

    _________

     

    Friends and Kin this episode is absolutely a win. It is part one of a two part series wherein, I have an amazing conversation with Eboné Almon, the creator and host of The Professional Homegirl Podcast. Eboné is a native of Memphis, and is just an all around sweetheart. We had such a good time talking and laughing and just being PROFESSIONAL HOMEGIRLS! This is the start of an amazing friendship and I’m so excited!

     

    Eboné has coloring books - THAT ARE SO AWESOME, hoodies, beanies, t-shirts & more! You can get them HERE!!! Guess what, there is a PROMO CODE that she has for my friends & kin to save 15% on some merch.  HANDMEMYPURSE the code is live for 15% off of anything on her site.

     

    I CANNOT WAIT TO GET MY HANDS ON SOME OF THOSE COLORING BOOKS! THEY ARE SO COOL! 

     

    The WE GOT TO DO BETTER QUOTE was amazing: “I have known the joy and pain of friendship. I have served and been served. I have made some good enemies for which I am not a bit sorry. I have loved unselfishly, and I have fondled hatred with the red-hot tongs of Hell. That's living.”     - Zora Neale Hurston

     

    Enjoy part two of this conversation and don’t forget…
