The ups. The downs. The wins. The losses. The energy. The confusion. The experience.  And what an experience it has been! I get into detail about what I have learned.

    No. 94: A Fun Time Conversation with My Producers (WE ARE Rando Banjo & The Dirty Throats) + Kendrick vs. Drake + Understanding LGBTQ+ identities + MANY OTHER CURRENT HOT TOPICS!

    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 a one of a kind experience to get a glance into conversations that my producers & I have on a regular basis. It’s a glimpse into the world of RANDO BANJO + THE DIRTY THROATS. That would be myself, my Executive Producer - Taylor & my Producer - Evan. This conversation was so much fun and so… AUTHENTICALLY UNCONFINED!!! That’s how I prefer my conversations actually - very authentic & very unconfined. We talked about so many interesting things from understanding the identities in the LGBTQ+ community, Kendrick vs. Drake, taking accountability in our current society and so much MORE!  We even sing an impromptu song - that I have to say was absolutely PHENOMENAL! I LOVE THESE GUYS & THE DYNAMIC OF OUR RELATIONSHIP IS EXTREMELY GENUINE. So sit back and listen to us discussing so many hot topics all while having a good ol’ time! I opened the show with this quote & wanted to share it again, so that it could be seen with your eyes… “Bless the daughters who sat carrying the trauma of mothers. Who sat asking for more love and not getting any, yet carried themselves to light. Bless the daughters who raised themselves….” - @soulfulvibesco on Instagram GO GRAB YOURSELF SOMETHING TO SIP ON & ENJOY THE SHOW…   "GO WHERE YOU ARE ADORED. NOT WHERE YOU ARE TOLERATED..."

    No. 92 - A Conversation with Death Doula, Alua Arthur about Grief, Death & The Fullness of Life. 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... _________   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 PART ONE OF THIS CONVERSATION. 2. LISTENING TO THIS EPISODE (PART TWO). 3. PURCHASING HER BOOK!!!   The conversation was one that brought about an actual physical response for me in REAL TIME. The concept of grief, and in the way we began to discuss it on the show did something to my mind and my spirit. Also, I’m pretty sure my Grandmother made a guest appearance while we were talking…   Take some time and listen to part one of this conversation - No. 91 & then tune into this episode, which is part two! Run don’t walk to wherever you get your podcasts!    "GO WHERE YOU ARE ADORED.

    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!   Also, I told y’all I would add a link to the FEELINGS WHEEL… And I did! 🤓    Click here for the Feelings Wheel!    "GO WHERE YOU ARE ADORED.
