    Motivational Monday - Your Best You in 2026

    In this episode, we're diving deep into what it means to stop TRYING and start BEING the best version of yourself. Today marks the first Motivational Monday of 2026, and we're not playing around, family. This isn't just about making New Year's resolutions—this is about US, our daily commitment to excellence, and how the small things we do create the big results we desire. Remember how we said 2026 was going to be different? Well, it starts right here, right now. I'm sharing why eliminating the word "try" from your vocabulary changes everything, how my dad serves as my accountability partner who won't let me settle for mediocre, and why doing small things with excellence—like prepping your lunch the night before or showing up to work on time—builds the foundation for extraordinary success. Tap in to embrace the wisdom: https://linktr.ee/cousinedscorner Drop me a comment or voice note (762-333-2032) about the small thing you're going to do with excellence this week, and tell me who your accountability partner is! Let's keep building and pushing each other to be our best selves together. 💪🏾 Connect with Cousin Ed: 762-333-2032 or @CousinEdsCorner on all platforms. Cousin Ed's Corner is not just about motivation—we're living it. Share this with someone who needs to hear that being their best starts with the small daily choices! 👑

    Thank God For Everything (TGIF) - How Much Are You Willing To Sacrifice This Year?

    🚨New Season Alert🚨: Season 5 of Cousin Ed's Corner is officially HERE, and we're starting 2026 with a powerful message about sacrifice, service, and God's complete protection over our lives! This isn't just another motivational talk—this is a MOVEMENT, fam. This episode was inspired by the monks walking across America spreading peace and unity, and it got me thinking: What am I REALLY willing to sacrifice for the greater good? What are WE willing to give? I'm getting real vulnerable in this one, talking about how I stepped back from coaching and mentoring during COVID and now feeling that strong pull to get back to serving my community. With two kids graduating this year, I know it's time to pour back into the next generation. But here's the thing—this message isn't just for me, it's for ALL of us. When's the last time you volunteered your time? Read to a kid? Visited an elderly home? Paid it forward? This episode is a challenge to myself AND to you to do MORE in 2026. Tap in to embrace this message and start your year with PURPOSE: https://linktr.ee/cousinedscorner Drop me a text or voice note at 762-333-2032 and tell me what YOU'RE excited about in 2026! What cause are you passionate about? Who should I interview this season? Where are you from? I want to celebrate YOU and build this movement TOGETHER. If you don't have cheerleaders, I'm over here with my pom-poms ready to cheer you on—nothing you can do about it! 📣 Let's keep building, fam. Share this episode with someone who needs to hear it, and let's make 2026 the year we all sacrifice more, serve harder, and live with INTENTION! 💪🏾 Connect with Cousin Ed: 762-333-2032 or @CousinEdsCorner on all platforms.

    In this episode, we're closing out the year with conversation about stepping into 2026 prepared, powerful, and purposeful! I'm coming at y'all with something SPECIAL as we close out 2025 and get ready to step into 2026! I'm not just bringing motivation—I'm bringing REAL LIFE PREPARATION scenarios that we all need right now. I'm opening up about some major blessings in my life—yes, I got TWO kids graduating this year, one from high school and one from college (can you believe that?!)—and I'm sharing why I'm so genuinely excited about what 2026 has in store for Cousin Ed's Corner and for each and every one of us in this family. This isn't just about making resolutions that we forget by February—this is about US understanding that when excitement meets preparation, that's when we become UNSTOPPABLE. I'm breaking down exactly what we need to do RIGHT NOW to close out 2025 strong and position ourselves for breakthrough in 2026. I'm talking about sitting down THIS WEEK to write out your plans—your first month, your first quarter, your first six months, your FULL YEAR. I'm also talking being prepared financially. Have you seen the news?  Why is gold and silver prices are skyrocketing, why do you need hard cash stashed, how can we move our money strategically, and yes family, why beans and rice matter more than you think.

    Thank God For Everything (TGIF) - Keeping Family Traditions Alive Across Each Generation

    In this episode, we're breaking free from the "TGIF" mentality and diving deep into the power of thanking God for EVERYTHING—not just Fridays, but every single moment of every single day. Fresh from my family's Christmas celebration, I'm sharing raw reflections on the beauty and bittersweet reality of multi-generational gatherings, the traditions my grandmother started in that small house in South Carolina, and the faces I miss when I look around the room. This isn't just about holiday nostalgia—it's about US, our responsibility to gather NOW instead of waiting for funerals, and the urgent call to honor our family traditions while passing them down to the next generation. I'm also breaking down a powerful four-directional prayer meditation: God above us like an umbrella, behind us cleaning our mistakes, before us clearing our path, and beneath us as our rock and foundation. Y'all, when I started unpacking this truth, I couldn't help but cry out in worship right there on the mic. It got REAL. It got DEEP. It got AUTHENTIC. I want to hear from YOU, family! Did you do an Italian potluck with homemade pasta? A Louisiana-style crab boil? Traditional turkey and fixings? Or did you travel somewhere warm for Christmas? Whatever your traditions are, I want to celebrate them with you! Send me a voice note at 762-333-2032 or DM me @CousinEdsCorner on any platform and share your story! Tap in to embrace the gratitude and receive this word of encouragement: https://linktr.ee/cousinedscorner Drop me a comment about the family traditions YOU'RE keeping alive, and share how you practice daily gratitude beyond just Fridays. Let's keep building and celebrating authentic faith together! 💪🏾 Connect with Cousin Ed: 762-333-2032 or @CousinEdsCorner on all platforms. Cousin Ed's Corner is not just about motivation—we're LIVING it. Share this with someone who needs this reminder that God's protection surrounds them and that time with family can't wait! 👑

    The Corner Connection - Beyond the Wrapping Paper: A Christmas Message From Cousin Ed

    Merry Christmas: In this Christmas Eve episode, we're discussing what this season truly means—and it's not about the presents under the tree, fam. This is about US, our memories, our connections, and the love that transcends both time and distance. I'm opening up my heart and sharing stories about my grandmothers in South Carolina and New York, the family gatherings that shaped me, and the people I wish I could hug one more time this Christmas. But this isn't just a trip down memory lane—this is a CALL TO ACTION for every single one of us. When's the last time you told your family you love them? When's the last time you used FaceTime to share a meal with someone you can't be with physically? When's the last time you honored the memory of someone you lost by speaking their name out loud and celebrating the joy they brought to your life? This message will challenge you to shift your focus from getting to GIVING—and I mean real sacrifice, not just regifting stuff you don't want. I'm also announcing Cousin Ed's Corner Winter Gift Drive where we're collecting donations to provide hats, scarves, socks, and bags to people who need warmth this season. Winter just started, and we got a long way to go, so I need my family to step up and help make a difference. Shaq showed me what giving back looks like, and now I'm challenging all of us to do the same with whatever we have. Tap in to receive this Christmas blessing: https://linktr.ee/cousinedscorner Drop me a comment or voicemail about who you're thinking about this Christmas—whether they're sitting next to you or watching over you from heaven. Share your favorite holiday memory, tell me how you're giving back this season, and let me know how this message touched your heart! Let's keep building this family together with love, authenticity, and real connection. 🎄❤️ Connect with Cousin Ed: 762-333-2032 or @CousinEdsCorner on all platforms. Cousin Ed's Corner isn't just about motivation—we're LIVING IT. Share this Christmas message with someone who needs to hear about the power of memories, the importance of connection, and the blessing of giving back! 🙏🏾👑

    Motivational Monday - Give Freely And See What He Will Do

    In this special Christmas week Motivational Monday, we're diving deep into the most valuable gift you can give this holiday season—and it won't cost you a single penny. Today, we're exploring the gift of LOVE, the power of sowing seeds without attachment to outcomes, and what happened when I lied about having cash, heard a comment that cut to my core, and had to decide what kind of man I wanted to be. This isn't just about holiday giving—it's about US, our testimonies, and how showing up for people in pain might be exactly what saves their life. I'm sharing a vulnerable story from 10-15 years ago about two homeless ladies, a child, $20, and the moment I learned to close my eyes and free my heart to give without controlling what happens next. Sometimes God tests us to see if we can release what He gave us, trusting Him with the results. That's real faith. That's real generosity. Remember that your time is more valuable than your money? We're talking about visiting seniors, coaching kids, documenting lives through photos and videos, and understanding that your testimony—your PAIN—might be someone else's survival guide through their darkest moment. When you sow seeds, you're not trying to grow every single one. You're planting abundantly, knowing that one day, YOUR plant will grow. That's the promise I'm holding onto, and I want you to hold onto it too. If you're feeling alone this Christmas week, hear me clearly: you are NOT alone. God is with you always, and somebody over here at Cousin Ed's Corner loves you deeply, authentically, and unconditionally. This Corner is all about us, for us, and we're building a community where everybody feels seen, valued, and loved. Tap in to receive this Christmas blessing: https://linktr.ee/cousinedscorner Drop me a comment or text (762-333-2032) about how you're planning to give back this season, and share a time when someone's generosity or testimony helped you through pain. Let's keep building and celebrating this culture of authentic love together! 💪🏾 Connect with Cousin Ed: 762-333-2032 or @CousinEdsCorner on all platforms. I'll love to hear from you....

    Thank God For Everything (TGIF) - Celebrating Life 365 Days a Year 2025 'Happy Birthday'

    On today's episode, I'm not celebrating me—I'm celebrating All GOD's gifts and the gift of another day with you all. I'm bringing you with me on this journey of pure gratitude and divine reflection. In this brand new episode, we're diving DEEP into what it really means to Thank God For EVERYTHING—not just the victories, but every single moment that's brought us to where we are today. Yes Family, listen—today is my birthday, but let me be real with you: EVERYDAY IS A BIRTHDAY! and I'm happy just to Celebrate it with you. Yes, I'm turning another year older, and the only reason I'm acknowledging it is to say THANK YOU to the One who made it possible. Every breath, every heartbeat, every circumstance that had to align for me to be here—that's ALL God. I'm breaking down Matthew 6:34, the scripture that literally saved my life during my darkest hour. This isn't just motivation—this is TRANSFORMATION. I'm talking about recognizing God's presence in every circumstance, understanding that He's already got your story written, and learning how to walk in faith even when you can't see the next step. I'm sharing real-life testimonies from my own family that will change how you think about strength, peace, and surrender—including my father's incredible journey through two major surgeries and a month in the hospital. But more than celebrating my birthday, I want to celebrate LIFE itself—every single day. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday—we should be thanking God for all of it. Not just the good days. Not just when things go our way. EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. And family, we're taking ACTION together. I'm launching a community giving initiative to bless our homeless neighbors with hats, scarves, gloves, and blankets. This is faith in motion. This is what it looks like when we truly love God and love each other. I need YOUR help to make this happen. Tap in now: https://linktr.ee/cousinedscorner Drop me a comment and tell me: What's one thing God has done in your life that you've been taking for granted? How has faith carried you through your darkest moment? And if this episode blesses you, PLEASE share it with someone who needs to hear that God's got them covered. I promise you, someone in your life needs this message right now!!! 🤝 Special Giving Initiative - We Need YOU! Family, I need your help with something special. Yesterday, I saw this incredible creator, @5xgr8tr, blessing homeless individuals with hats, scarves, gloves, and blankets. It touched my heart so deeply that I knew God was calling me to do the same for our community. Check out their beautiful work here: https://www.instagram.com/p/DSWnq97jcBY/ This is the inspiration behind our giving-back initiative, and I'm asking YOU to partner with me in this mission. Whether you can contribute $5, $10, $50, or more—every dollar helps us purchase these essential items to keep our homeless family warm and protected during these cold months. We're launching this at the beginning of the year, and I want Cousin Ed's Corner to SHOW UP AND SHOW OUT for those who need it most. You can donate via: Call or text: 762-333-2032 Venmo, Zelle, PayPal, or Google Pay (just reach out for details) This isn't just charity, family—this is LOVE in action. This is faith with works. When you give to the least of these, you're giving to God Himself. Will you join me? Share this with your network. Let's bless our community together and show the world what Cousin Ed's Corner family is made of. Thank you for answering this call. 🙏🏾 ----God is above you, beneath you, behind you, and WITHIN you. You're never alone, family. That's not just something I'm saying—that's something I KNOW. And on this day of my birth, I want to remind you that every day you're alive is a birthday—a gift from the Almighty. Let's keep building this community together. Let's show up and show out. 💪🏾
