    08/23-2025-Confidence Unlocked: Reclaiming Self-Power in a Fearful World

    As we move through the journey of life, confidence becomes one of the most powerful tools we can claim. I’ve had to walk through moments of doubt, shattered dreams, and tough questions of self before I could stand tall and recognize my own worth. Confidence didn’t come overnight — it came with struggle, reflection, and the decision to move forward, even when fear tried to hold me back. And I know I’m not alone. Every day, so many of us wrestle with that quiet question: Am I enough? Do I have what it takes? The truth is, confidence is built, not given. It’s a skill, a practice, and a mindset. And yes — life brings challenges: cultural barriers, past trauma, cycles of abuse, moments of failure. These experiences can break us down if we let them. But they can also become the foundation to rebuild stronger than ever before. On The4Opinions, we’re tackling this head-on. We’re breaking down: 🔑 What confidence really means beyond surface-level appearances.🔑 Practical skills to strengthen self-belief and self-power.🔑 How to move past cultural and personal setbacks without letting them define you.🔑 How to guard your confidence against people who are blinded by fear or lacking it themselves.🔑 How to start TODAY — no matter where you are, no matter what you’ve been through.Confidence is more than a word — it’s a lifestyle. It’s the key to unlocking opportunities, the courage to chase your dreams, and the shield against voices that tell you “you can’t.” ✨ This isn’t just about self-esteem — it’s about self-power. It’s about rebuilding, rising, and walking boldly into the life you deserve.

    08/16/2025-A Magical Day: The Truth About What Black Men Deserve

    This segment is dedicated to our Black men. Too often, the world tells you what you should need, instead of asking what you actually do need. Today, we’re changing that. We’re asking one powerful, honest question: What do you truly need — for support, to win, and to move forward in life? ✨ Think about it like this: if you had one magical day where every door opened, every resource was available, and every voice listened — what would you ask for? What would bring you peace? What would help you elevate? This is more than a question; it’s a moment to reflect, to be real, and to speak truth into what Black men deserve — not just today, but every day.

    08/09/2025-Final Episode Conclusion: Grief in our Communities

    Conclusion: Grief in our Communities  Final Episode Conclusion ✨ As we close out this series on grief, we reflect on the expectations placed on us, the reality of loss, and the life-changing impact that follows. Grief is not a moment—it’s a journey. It arrives suddenly, without warning, and becomes something we carry as life keeps moving. In this final episode, we sat with a guest who is still in the thick of grieving, reminding us that healing isn’t instant, and it isn’t linear. Together, we explored the causes and effects of grief, the ways it reshapes our daily lives, and the tools we can use to manage it while still pressing forward. We hope that this conversation leaves you with comfort, perspective, and strength. For anyone suffering in silence, know this: you are not alone. Sharing our stories opens doors to healing and offers reminders that there are ways to live beyond the impact. This series has been dedicated to being an outlet—an offering of wisdom, love, and community. If just one person feels less isolated in their grief because of these conversations, then our mission has been fulfilled.

    07-26-2025- Part 3- The Weight We Carry: Grief, Love & Healing

    🖤 PART 3: The Support This Saturday at 8AM on 89.9 KMOJ | The4Opinions 🎙️ Grief isn’t just about the person feeling the loss— It’s about the village around them too. So many of us want to show up, but don’t know how. What do you say when “I’m sorry” doesn’t feel like enough? How do you hold space for someone without rushing their pain? This week, we’re diving deep into what real support looks like during grief. Not the “check in once and disappear” kind— but the kind that sticks around, listens, and lets folks feel without fixing.  Let’s talk about: • What NOT to say to someone who’s grieving • How to be present without overstepping • Ways to support when you feel helpless • And why sometimes, silence speaks louder than words If you’ve ever struggled to comfort a loved one going through it—or if you are the one grieving and wish people understood you better—this episode is for you. . Let’s do better. Together. #The4Opinions #TheWeightWeCarry #Part3Support #GriefSupport #BlackMentalHealth #KMOJ #ShowUpForYourPeople #CommunityHealing #HoldSpace #YouAreNotAlone

    07-19-25 Part 2-The Weight We Carry: Grief, Love & Healing

    Grief doesn’t have a timeline—and healing isn’t linear. But what is true? You don’t have to go through it alone. This episode is a reminder that even in the silence, your pain is valid. Your memories matter. And your healing deserves space. So whether you're deep in it, just beginning to feel the weight, or walking beside someone in their grief—let this be your permission to feel, to rest, and to heal at your own pace. We’re not just talking about loss. We’re reclaiming our right to grieve fully, loudly, and unapologetically.

    07-12-2025- Unapologetic Grief- Why Black Healing Needs New Rules

    We say “take your time to heal”—but does the world really mean it, especially for Black folks? In this episode of The4Opinions, we’re cutting deep into the stigma around how Black people are expected to grieve, heal, and bounce back like it’s nothing.  Whether it's the 3–5 day bereavement policy at work or family traditions that tell us to "just pray about it and keep moving," the reality is—healing doesn’t work on a schedule. Let’s make it clear—grief and healing aren’t luxuries. They’re part of life. And for Black folks especially, it’s time we stop letting others write the rules on how long we get to feel, hurt, and rebuild

    06/28/2025- Title: “From Survival to Healing: The Real Talk We Needed”- Conclusion

    Conclusion: We Ain’t Just Talkin’—We Healin’ As we close out this powerful two-month series on Black and Minority Mental Health, The4Opinions didn’t just bring conversation—we brought real ones to the mic. This final episode hit different. We were joined by Adoniyah Israel, who broke it all the way down on how mental health is deeply connected to being justice-impacted. From the weight of incarceration to the silent trauma carried after release, he reminded us that choices around healing don’t come easy—but they are necessary. His words were a bold reminder that if we don’t choose our healing, the system will choose our pain. Then we heard from T’Michael Cunigan, who brought raw and honest reflections about being a young Black man navigating mental health in today’s world. From growing up in a culture that told him to "man up," to learning how to actually check in with himself, he shared what it means to break generational habits and start walking in emotional freedom. This ain’t just podcast talk—this is legacy-building, heart-work, and community healing. 💬 Together, we explored: What it looks like to take care of your mind while carrying real-life struggleHow systems continue to fail us, and how we have to show up for ourselvesThe importance of safe spaces, therapy, and having people who get itAnd most importantly—how to keep going, even when it’s hard🧠 If nobody told you today: it’s okay to not be okay. Healing is a choice—and a radical one in a world that wants you broken.
