AND I'm finally back! I know it's been a while but I promise you, I am doing the best that I can to post more before the year ends. Your decision to face your fears will enhance your life in ways you have never dreamed possible. You will develop a deeper connection with yourself, with others, and with the world. You will find the courage to undertake any challenge and the resilience to persevere in the face of adversity. You will recognize your strengths and celebrate your capabilities. You will believe, beyond any doubt, that you can transform impossibility into possibility. In today's episode, I sat down with Chicago native John Paul Floyd also known as J.P. Floyd, who is a 2 time Grammy Award Winning Trombonist, Producer, and Writer. His beautiful sister, Zakiya, or in short, Za, also joined our conversation. We all spoke about finding ways to face our fears and making them happen. We believe that moving towards your fears is the way to make peace with them, so they don’t conquer you. So whatever it is that you want to accomplish, write down your biggest fears and bury them.
