Do This to Reclaim Your Power & Release Unhealthy Attachments
Reclaiming your power and releasing unhealthy attachments is possible, even when you’re afraid you cannot. Removing toxic energy and making intentional changes and choices starts first with owning the power we all hold inside.
Between pandemics, natural disasters and actual wars going on, it’s no wonder so many of us are riddled with feelings of anxiety, despair and hopelessness. With the collective nervous system in a constant state of flight, fight or fawn, we have to become intentional about how we choose to deal as we attempt to heal and move forward. Our guest, blogger, content creator and host of the podcast “How I See it”, Han Huante, joins us to discuss how being unapologetic and authentic helps her overcome feeling powerless. When your heart, head and your actions align, it becomes easier to honor your highest self and step into every room as HER. We have all had moments where we give our power away or it is taken from us against our will. But life is not what happens to you, it’s about how you react that matters. Han is here to give you the girl’s girl pep talk you need to get off your ass and make the changes necessary to be the best version of yourself. No excuses. Tap on in to this week’s episode to be reminded of your power and how to stand in it.

How to Stop Wasting Your Time & Your Life
Tap in to learn valuable tools to shift your mindset, adjust your habits, and stop wasting your time and your life.
Vera Wang didn’t design her first dress until she was 40. Henry Ford didn’t create the revolutionary Model T car until age 45. Samuel Jackson didn’t land his award-winning role in Spike Lee’s “Jungle Fever”, which catapulted his acting career, until age 43. Controversial as she is, Kris Jenner didn’t pitch the hit show “Keeping up with the Kardashians” to E! Network until she was 52 and we see what happened there. The point is, it’s never too late to be who you might have been. It’s actually not ok to give up and damn yourself to a life of mediocrity. Alechia believes it’s a slap in the face to the creator who gave you gifts that you should use to elevate your life and serve humanity but instead you choose to squander them and keep them to yourself. If you’re good with some tough love, then you need to come on in and have a seat. Tap into this week’s episode for some invaluable tips on how to reclaim any time you feel you may have wasted and how to live your best life at any age. Yes, you have the time. No, your life doesn’t HAVE to stay the same. Your moment is here and the time is NOW.

Why Being Selfish is Actually a Good Idea
Being selfish might be just the thing you need to tap into your joy.
It’s time to reframe what it means to be intentionally selfish in order to live the life you want.
When’s the last time you were selfish? Better yet, when’s the last time you were selfish without feeling guilty about it? It’s high time we rebrand what it means to be selfish and what it looks like to choose yourself more often. The days of endless self sacrificing and carrying the weight of the world on our shoulders are over. We are now entering our “Soft Life Era”. On this week’s episode we are joined by Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Psychotherapist, Trauma Specialist, and #1 Balance (and) Relationship Advisor in the World, Naketa Ren Thigpen, to help us all understand just how important it is to prioritize self care on a daily basis. From the mathematical formula to achieving balance to why selfish lovers are the best lovers. You’ve been selfless long enough. This is your official permission slip to be selfish.

KEY POINTS & QUOTES:
Learn to create the space for your joy, healing and forgiveness.
Start by coming into your body. Your body will tell you the truth.
It’s ok to not explain yourself. “No” is a full sentence.
Admit the truth of what you really want.
Creating boundaries around your truth will help you achieve your reality.
When you are intentional about being selfish, your life becomes more juicy.

Customer Reviews
Sooo caught up… like Usher
Idk how your podcast always ended up getting pushed down amongst the gazillion others that I follow but it finally stood out with this episode. And I was doing yoga while listening. But the way that it brought a light to my session and put an extra pep in my step for the day. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The pattern that I used to find myself stuck in and lost in a daze it was all laid out for me. I’m not even sure that I finished my yoga session that morning after that huge “A-ha” moment.
No longer am I painted the color of confusion. Thank you ladies for this one.
Everything I didn’t even know I needed
This podcast talks about topics that are absolutely taboo, but in a way that invites you to grow and learn with them. They don’t pretend to know everything, ANDDD bring in people we can all learn from! Subscribe now, follow now, and listen to every word! This podcast is EVERYTHING!!
Relatable Content!
These ladies talk about real, relatable content. Specifically the Villainous Victims episode. And it’s true…we are all villains in someone else’s story, which can be tough to admit. But necessary to understand.
