    Thank God For Everything (TGIF) - Let Him Carry Your Weariness 'We Can Always Count On Him'

    In this episode, we're kicking off October and the fourth quarter with a full heart of gratitude. Over here we don't say TGIF, we say TGFE: Thank God For Everything. Every day of the week, every high, every low, every breath. I'll be honest with y'all, I needed this one as much as anybody listening. We're stepping into Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and I'm calling on the whole Corner Community to focus on our HEALTH. Wake up ten minutes earlier. Knock out some calf raises, pushups, or sit-ups. Drink that extra glass of water. Small steps, FAM. Somebody who started this year with us isn't here anymore, so let's honor the gift of today by taking care of ourselves. Then we go to God in prayer. I'm thanking Him for the people who've been with us for years, the new ones still figuring us out, and even the ones He removed for our good. Remember, when you get weary, hear Him say, "Let go. I got you." Tap in and listen NOW: https://linktr.ee/cousinedscorner Drop me a comment and tell me what you're Thanking God for this week, and what small health step you're committing to this month! Let's finish this year strong together. 💪🏾 Connect with Cousin Ed @CousinEdsCorner on all platforms. Cousin Ed's Corner is not just a podcast, it's a Community.

    The Corner Connection - Suicide Prevention and Awareness 'Check On Your People'

    In this episode, we’re having a needed conversation on The Corner Connection. As September comes to a close, I couldn’t let Suicide Prevention Month pass without talking about it. Between some podcasts I’ve been listening to and a powerful message at church, this conversation has been on my heart, and I believe it’s one we all need. So many of us are carrying something quietly. Depression, postpartum, menopause, midlife crisis, divorce, grief, or just the weight of everyday life. I’m getting honest about the fact that we don’t always understand what someone else is going through, and that’s okay. You don’t have to understand to show up. A phone call every morning, weekend plans, or simply saying “I see you, I’m here” can mean more than you’ll ever know. And if you’re the one struggling right now, you are not alone and we need you here. Call or text 988, or chat at 988lifeline.org, anytime. We’re also looking ahead to October, Breast Cancer Awareness Month, because taking care of ourselves means caring for our minds AND our bodies. Do your exams, set your appointments, and remind the people you love to do the same.

    Motivation Monday - Be Prepared To Embrace Change

    In this episode, we're diving into something most of us avoid: preparing for change. The leaves are falling, the grass is turning brown, and life is shifting right along with the seasons. Our parents are getting older, our kids are getting older, and tomorrow isn't promised. So I'm asking the whole Corner Community one question: Are you prepared? I'm sharing my own story of how my mother prepared everything ahead of time because she lost her mother early, and how she did it so I wouldn't carry that burden as her only child. I used to brush it off, and now I see my son do the same thing. We're also talking about being ready when the lights go out: candles, first aid, food, walkie-talkies, a spare tire, and even laying out your clothes the night before. Preparation isn't fear. It's love in action. 🍂 This isn't just about survival. It's about being ready and how sharing what we know keeps our whole Community from being left in the dark. Teach a man to fish, and he can prepare his own meal. TAP IN and let's get prepared together: https://linktr.ee/cousinedscorner Drop me a comment with your best preparedness tip, and if you've already walked through caring for aging parents, share what you wish you'd known. Your story could be exactly what someone needs to hear. 💪🏾 Connect with me @CousinEdsCorner on all platforms, and share this with someone who needs a push to get ready.

    Thank God For Everything (TGIF) - A Prayer For Peace In Tragedy 'Rest In Power: Nolan Xavier Wells'

    In this episode, I'm opening my heart in a way I don't often do. I woke up crying this Friday morning because the life and loss of a beautiful young man 'Nolan Wells'.  Family this feeling of sadness shook me to the core in my sleep that I woke up and had to cut this episode. Trust me, this isn't about headlines or speculation. It's about every parent who has ever looked in the mirror and thought, "That could have been my child!" We're talking about the nights we wake up and check Life360 just to see our children safe. We're talking about the fear when the phone goes dark, and the unimaginable pain of losing a child and never getting answers that add up. I pray for the Wells family, for every grieving family, and for every child who isn't home tonight, including my own daughter who is away right now. I pray for that call we all wait for: "I'm home. I'm safe. Talk to you tomorrow." This episode reminder, because we Thank God For Everything, even on the hard days. Tap in and pray with me: https://linktr.ee/cousinedscorner Drop me a comment with the name of a child you're praying over this week, and tell me how you keep your faith when worry hits in the middle of the night. Let's keep covering our children and each other in prayer. 💪🏾 Connect with Cousin Ed: @CousinEdsCorner on all platforms. Cousin Ed's Corner is not just about motivation, we're living it. Share this with a parent who needs this prayer today!  We send a Special prayer out for the parents of this young King: Nolan Xavier Wells, Elmore Wonsley and Christine Wells-Wonsley. 🕊️No Matter How You Cut It Or Slice It, We’re All In This Together!!!🕊️

    When My Sistah Wins We All Win - ft Dr. Christine McWhorter

    In this episode, I'm sitting down with Dr. Christine McWhorter, Associate Professor of Broadcast Journalism at Howard University, whose journey from working inside a media organization to researching media effects and race in media has made her one of the most important voices on this topic right now. Today, we're diving deep into media harm, and the power of telling our own stories. This isn't just about technology. It's about our narratives, and who gets to shape how the world sees us. We talk about why AI should be a tool and never a crutch, why the same script is showing up on news stations across the country, and why the Black press often carries the stories no one else will touch. Dr. McWhorter also shares her new book, Building Critical Race Media Literacy, which helps parents, educators, and journalists spot and challenge racial bias in the media.  Remember, this is a "When My Sistah Wins, We All Win" episode, and Dr. McWhorter is a shining example of a Sistah using her gifts to lift up the whole Community. This conversation will change how you scroll, how you share, and how you support the voices that look like you. Listen in NOW: https://linktr.ee/cousinedscorner   Family, let's empower our Sistahs! Follow Dr. McWhorter on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/dr.christinemcwhorter/ and visit her website at https://www.christinemcwhorter.com/ to pick up her book, Building Critical Race Media Literacy. Then shout out a Sistah in the comments who is doing big things in media, business, or your own community. Drop me a comment about where you get your news, and share an independent Black media voice you trust so we can all support them! Let's keep building and telling our stories together. 💪🏾 Connect with Cousin Ed @CousinEdsCorner on all platforms. Cousin Ed's Corner is not just about motivation, we're living it. Share this with a Sistah who inspires you and someone who needs to protect their media diet! 👑 When My Sistah Wins, We All Win!

    Motivational Monday - Stop Worrying About Your Next 'Focus On Your NOW'

    On this episode, we're talking about something that woke me straight out of my sleep. So many of us live in "When I Get My Next," next car, next job, next house, next everything, and I've come to believe that obsessing over our next can actually curse our NOW. This episode is about our gratitude, and learning to bless the life we already have while we prepare for the life we're praying for. I'm not knocking the dream. There's nothing wrong with wishing, hoping, and getting ready for what's ahead. But when we chase our next so hard that we stop watering our now, the blessing dries up before we ever get to enjoy it. If I don't take care of what He gave me first, I won't know how to handle what's coming next. That's the soil. That's the seeds. That's the whole lesson right there. So this week, cook that restaurant meal at home. Take the local solo trip instead of waiting on the grand one. Give thanks every time your keys hit the countertop. Be the best version of you right now and ride it till the wheels fall off, because that's exactly how you get ready for your next. TAP IN NOW and listen: https://linktr.ee/cousinedscorner Drop me a comment and tell me one thing you're grateful for in your now, and share how you're learning to bless today instead of rushing to tomorrow. Let's keep building and celebrating our journeys together. 💪🏾 Connect with Cousin Ed: @CousinEdsCorner on all platforms. Cousin Ed's Corner is not just about motivation, we're living it.

    The Corner Connection - Staying Inspired 'How to Keep Going When No One Is Pushing You'

    In this episode, we're getting fully transparent about weariness, low support, and the moment I almost walked away. Today I'm sharing something I normally would not. I was so frustrated, ready to delete a WhatsApp group chat that I started. I even opened up about my thoughts of cutting the cord on my mic. This is not a normal feeling that I get. But this episode is the real behind the scenes of what it takes to keep showing up. I hope this show inspires you. The word I'm leaving you with is this: keep going no matter who is looking. You are your own inspiration, and you are inspiring somebody else at the same time. Somebody is doing it today, somebody is doing it tomorrow, so why can't it be you? TAP IN NOW: https://linktr.ee/cousinedscorner Drop me a comment about a time you kept going when nobody was cheering, and share how community pulled you through. Let's keep building and celebrating our journeys together. 💪🏾 Connect with Cousin Ed: @CousinEdsCorner on all platforms. Cousin Ed's Corner is not just about motivation, we're living it.

    Wind Down Wednesday - Why Slowing Down Is the Secret to Accomplishing More

    In this episode, we're winding all the way down for a Wind Down Wednesday reset. We're past Labor Day, the leaves are already hitting the ground, and I don't know about you, but I'm asking where this whole year went. So before we sprint into the next thing, I'm pulling up to remind you to slow down, catch your breath, and appreciate just how far you've truly come. Here's the heart of it: so many of us are staring at a to-do list that feels way longer than everything we've actually finished. I feel it too. But when you take some time and write your accomplishments down on paper, something shifts. You start to see the truth, that you've done a lot, not just this year but over many years. This episode is a gentle push to evaluate your wins honestly and give yourself credit where it's overdue. So do not measure yourself against the next person. Do not try to keep up with the Joneses. Pat yourself on the back, cheer yourself on, and reward yourself for the work you've been putting in. Say it out loud with me: you're talented, you're brilliant, and you're doing great. That's the whole reason I made this one, to speak that over you. TAP IN and embrace the reminder: https://linktr.ee/cousinedscorner. Drop me a comment about one thing you accomplished this year that you're proud of, and share this with somebody who needs to hear that they've come further than they think. Let's keep building and celebrating our journeys together. 💪🏾 Connect with Cousin Ed @CousinEdsCorner on all platforms. It's not just a podcast, it's a Community.  👑
