    4-19-2025- Letting Go to Let Go

    In the heart of our lives—where the grind never stops, where the past lingers loud, and where the pressure to keep pushing weighs heavy—we carry invisible bags—bags packed tight with what we were taught, what we survived, and what we never had the space to unpack. We were told to stay strong. To keep quiet. To tough it out. To never show weakness. But what happens when those lessons start showing up in our adult lives as fear, anxiety, overgiving, or emotional shutdown? Tonight on The 4 Opinions, with our guest Dr. Rashida Fisher Tranquil Temper we’re cutting deep into the truth with:  “Letting Go to Let Go.” This ain’t surface talk. This is about sitting with the root of our habits, dismantling the silence, and finally asking ourselves: What am I still carrying that’s not mine to hold anymore? We’re unpacking: Why we overextend for people who don’t return it How abandonment in childhood can shape our choices as adults The weight of unhealed trauma in our relationships And the journey from survival mode to self-liberation Because letting go isn’t weakness—it’s wisdom. And healing? That’s real power. So lock in wherever you are—on the move, at work, or winding down. You’re tuned into The 4 Opinions, where four real ones come together to have the conversations we were never given space for. Only on 89.9 KMOJ – The People’s Station. Let’s talk about it. Let’s release it. Let’s let go to let go.

    4/12/2025- The Gift & The Grit — Women in Entrepreneurship

    Being a woman in entrepreneurship is both a gift and a grind—a crown and a cross. It’s the freedom to create your own lane, write your own checks, and build your vision from the ground up. But let’s be real—it’s also long nights, self-doubt, unpaid labor, and carrying the weight of the world while still showing up like everything’s flawless. In a world that applauds our hustle but rarely acknowledges our exhaustion, we find ourselves navigating a double-edged sword: sticking and staying, even when the money’s inconsistent, the support is shaky, and the pressure to perform is heavy. It’s deeper than branding and followers—it’s about balance, boundaries, and knowing your worth even when the world tries to underprice it. It’s learning how to lead without losing yourself, how to rest without guilt, and how to show up in business without shrinking in spirit. This conversation is for every woman who’s been out here building from scratch, wearing all the hats, being her own investor, her own marketing team, her own everything—while still trying to keep her peace and protect her purpose. Because entrepreneurship isn’t just a career—it’s a calling. And while the road may be rocky, the rewards are rooted in resilience. Let’s talk about it. The real. The raw. The rise. Because we don’t just run businesses—we birth legacies.

    4/5/2025-It's Time for Spring Cleaning. How to Make Room for a New Season.

    Spring is Here—Let’s Clean More Than Just Our Closets Spring cleaning has always been more than just tradition—it’s culture. It’s that time where we wash the walls, flip mattresses, organize the chaos, pack up the winter, and make room for the new. But what if we took that same energy and applied it to our lives? What if we cleaned out our minds, reset our routines, and decluttered our spirits? Join The Four Opinions as we dive deep into what it means to do a soul-level spring cleaning. From mental health to physical wellness, we’re talking all the ways to reset, refresh, and realign as we step boldly into a new season. Because sometimes the best glow-up starts with a good ol’ clean-up—from the inside out.

    "Closing Out Women's History Month with Trailblazing CEO Crystal Eaton-McGaster: A Real Talk on Physical Wellness and Breaking Generational Habits As we wrap up our celebration of Trailblazing Women for Women's History Month, we’re honored to bring on a powerhouse guest — Crystal Eaton-McGaster, CEO of The Weight is Over. She’s not just leading a movement; she’s living it. Crystal dives deep into her personal testimony, sharing how she broke free from the cycle of temporary fixes and crash diets to embrace a sustainable, healthy lifestyle. Her story reminds us that true wellness goes beyond the numbers on a scale. It’s about healing from the inside out, challenging the norms we’ve inherited, and rewriting the narrative of what health looks like in our communities. Crystal unpacks why prioritizing physical health is a radical act of self-love and how making yourself a top priority is essential. This conversation isn’t just about weight management — it’s about breaking generational habits and confronting the stigmas that often hold us back. It’s about pushing past the pressures of quick fixes and embracing long-term change. Crystal’s mission is clear: to shift the focus from short-term results to lasting transformation. Now that’s Black magic — resilience, strength, and unapologetic self-care. And that’s exactly what we celebrate this month and every day.
