    Wind Down Wednesday - Why Starting Your Day With A Plan Is So Important

    In this episode, we're diving deep into the power of intentional mornings and mastering your time. Today, we're talking about the 30-minute challenge that can transform your entire life—waking up earlier, planning with purpose, and protecting your peace before the world makes its demands on you. This isn't just about productivity—it's about our discipline, and how the early morning hours can become sacred space for meditation, prayer, and movement that sets the foundation for everything else. Remember when my college coach, a retired Marine, made us plan every single hour of our week? That "skeleton schedule" method changed my life, and I'm sharing it with the family today. We're getting real about morning routines, the temptation of checking our phones first thing, and why making your bed is more than just a chore—it's a powerful statement about completing your rest and beginning your day with intention. Tap in now: https://linktr.ee/cousinedscorner Drop me a comment or text about YOUR morning routine and how you plan your days! Are you a Franklin Covey person, a Google Tasks user, or do you keep everything in your head? Let's learn from each other and build better systems together. And if you're taking the 30-minute challenge with me this month, let me know how it's going! 💪🏾 Connect with Cousin Ed Corner: 762-333-2032 or @CousinEdsCorner on all platforms.

    The Corner Connection - Get Outside, Explore New Things, and Reclaim Your Peace

    On today's episode, we're talking about not taking getting out and exploring new things for granted. I reflect on spending my whole life in New York barely seeing what was right there. I know many of us are doing the same thing—we never get out and explore what's right in front of our own eyes, what's right in our backyard. But that changes TODAY. This isn't just about travel—it's about discovering the coffee shops, trails, parks, and adventures within minutes of where we live. It's about choosing rest through staycations instead of the same ol' things. Whether you're a road warrior or you haven't left your city in years, this episode has something for you. We're talking intentional exploration, meaningful rest, and building community where WE own the conversation. Lastly, we also discuss PLATFORM INDEPENDENCE. Cousin Ed's Corner is slowly moving to Substack because I'm done with platforms that control our narrative. They control your media, they control your message, they can take it away at any time. Tap in and hear the full message: https://linktr.ee/cousinedscorner Drop me a comment about YOUR favorite local spot that you've been sleeping on, and tell me your thoughts about this Substack move! Are you ready to build independently with us? Let's keep this family strong and share this with someone who needs to hear about finding adventure right where they are! 💪🏾 Connect with Cousin Ed: 762-333-2032 or @CousinEdsCorner on all platforms (and now Substack!). Cousin Ed's Corner is not just about motivation—we're living it and taking control of our digital future. Share this with someone who's ready to explore their own backyard and build community on platforms that can't silence us! 👑

    Motivational Monday - How Forgotten Resolutions Turn Into Regrets

    Family, this Motivational Monday is hitting different, and I need you to lean in close for this one. Today we're talking about Forgotten Resolutions and the Battle We're Losing Against Ourselves. Here's the truth that's been weighing on my heart: We can show up every single day—miserable, tired, frustrated—and punch that clock for someone else's dream because we know the reward is coming. But why can't we do that same thing for OURSELVES? This isn't just motivation, family—this is a mirror moment for all of us. I'm sharing the conversation I keep having with my daughter about beating yourself first, because if you can't win the battle against your own excuses and conditioning, you've already lost. We're diving into the simple disciplines like making your bed (not for anyone else, but for YOU), not waiting for your gym partner to show up before you do, and understanding that your greatness can't be dependent on someone else's commitment. And here's the visual I can't shake: Imagine that pine box is closed, and when you look back, do you see all the potential you gave to the world? Or do you see greatness left buried, never realized, never shared? That's what this episode is about—making sure we leave NOTHING in that box. We're conditioned to serve everyone else's systems, but it's time we built our own. Tap in and let's win this battle together: https://linktr.ee/cousinedscorner Drop me a comment about a resolution you abandoned and how you're going to revive it TODAY. Share this with someone who's fighting their own battle within themselves. Let's keep building, family—because this isn't about me, it's about US as a whole. 💪🏾 Connect with Cousin Ed: 762-333-2032 or @CousinEdsCorner on all platforms.

    Thank God For Everything (TGIF) - Preparing For The Storm

    In this episode, we're diving deep into what it really means to survive the storm—not just the physical storms hitting our nation right now, but those unexpected life storms that knock the wind out of you when you least expect it. You know how you can be driving down a Florida highway with nothing but sunshine, and suddenly you're in the middle of a torrential downpour? That's exactly how life hits us, fam. Today, we're talking about spiritual preparation, divine protection, and why being grounded in your faith BEFORE the crisis hits changes everything. This isn't just about getting through hard times—it's about US, our community, and knowing that we're never facing these storms alone. I'm breaking down how God protects us from every single angle: above us like an umbrella, around us like a protective bubble, in front of us leading the way, behind us cleaning up our past, and beneath us as our rock-solid foundation. You are completely covered, family. Whether you're facing job loss, dealing with grief, navigating health challenges, or just trying to prepare for whatever's coming next, this episode is for YOU. We're not just talking motivation here—we're talking survival, faith, and the absolute certainty that you WILL make it through your storm because you've got the ultimate protection. Tap in Now: https://linktr.ee/cousinedscorner Drop me a comment about a storm you've survived and how you made it through! Your testimony is powerful, and this family needs to hear it. Let's keep building together and reminding each other that we're surrounded by divine protection every single day. 🙏🏾 Connect with Cousin Ed: 762-333-2032 or @CousinEdsCorner on all platforms. Cousin Ed's Corner is not just about motivation—we're about FAMILY. Share this with someone who's in the middle of a storm right now and needs to know they're not alone! 💪🏾👑

    When My Sistah Wins We All Win - ft. Amy Pierre-Russo

    In this episode, we're diving deep into the power of community, career clarity, and creating the professional support system we were promised but never received. Today, I'm sharing Coach Amy Pierre-Russo's incredible journey from HR professional watching people struggle in silence to becoming a transformational coach building Harmonious Moms—a community dedicated to helping mothers, especially women of color and first-generation professionals, navigate career transitions with harmony instead of overwhelm. This isn't just about career coaching—it's about US, our resilience, and how we can turn setbacks into breakthroughs when we have the right support. With 300,000+ Black women recently laid off, Coach Amy provides the roadmap for moving from crisis to clarity, from isolation to integration, and from surviving to thriving. Remember that feeling when your professional success stopped feeling like success? We're exploring why this disconnection happens and exactly what to do about it. Coach Amy breaks down the critical difference between coaching (forward-looking goals) and therapy (processing the past), explains her "harmony over balance" approach, and shares how Harmonious Moms offers monthly connection calls, AI audits, content marketing training, and most importantly—a village that celebrates your ambitions instead of questioning them. Tap in to embrace the wisdom: https://linktr.ee/cousinedscorner Drop me a comment about a career moment that made you realize something needed to change, and share how community or coaching has helped you navigate professional transitions! Let's keep building and supporting each other's authentic journeys together. 💪🏾 Connect with Coach Amy: CoachingWithAmy.com | Instagram: @coaching_w_amy | LinkedIn: Amy Pierre-Russo Connect with Cousin Ed: 762-333-2032 or @CousinEdsCorner on all platforms.
