    The Multifaceted Woman: How to Balance the Dynamic Roles of Womanhood

    The Multifaceted Woman: How to Balance the Dynamic Roles of Womanhood

    On this week's episode of The Silence the Shame Podcast, our host, L.ife, sits down with Law Professor and Attorney, Mo Ivory, to discuss how she embodies the woman that she has grown to be. As we may know, woman wear many hats that require balancing time and energy. During this conversation, Mo and L.ife breaks down how women can learn to be their best selves and go after everything they desire.

    Some noteworthy “gems” from this episode:

    1. Balance looks different everyday – increasing and decreasing where it needs to be; it shifts depending on daily needs.
    2. When we are constantly comparing ourselves and our journeys to other people, we take away from who we truly are and what we can do.
    3. Don’t be afraid to ask for what you want. - There’s a lack of confidence and vulnerability for people to ask for help but that only keeps you from elevating to the paths and positions that you desire.
    4. You can’t unlearn what you already know, but you can learn new things and you can utilize those new things to behave differently.

    The Strong Black Woman Needs Support Too

    The Strong Black Woman Needs Support Too

    On this week's episode of The Silence the Shame Podcast, our host, L.ife, sits down with Author and Founder of Black Girl Perfect, Tameka Anderson, to discuss how the “Strong Black Woman” trope impacts your mental health physical health and how to find self-love through self-acceptance.

    Some noteworthy “gems” from this episode:

    1. The strongest thing you can do is ask for help. We think asking for help is a weakness, but it takes a lot to muster up the courage to ask others to help support you.
    2. Suggested Exercise: Sit with sadness – When you are feeling sad, ask yourself “what are you [sadness] here to teach me?”
    3. Self-love starts with self-acceptance. You must practice being okay with everything about yourself, inside and out; that is how you increase your self-love.

Hey Shon ,

Reliving Postpartum

Just listened to the interview with Joyce Estrada-Bailey and even though my four children are now ages 24-18 the feelings that I felt make sense. My daughter always ask me ‘How were we when we were that age’ and my answer is l Don’t Know. Being a mother of 4 by the age of 23 and two being 11 months apart this interview resonates with me. Thank you for having these conversations and giving me the courage to speak with my children in the next two weeks

TERRIBLE AUDIO

This is a wonderful well thought out and necessary podcast. The topic is long overdue and the host is perfect for this platform. However, the audio is horrible! The mics they use are that of a teenager in high school talking into a tape recorder back in the 80’s. This subject and all of its contents need to be heard in top notch quality. Please spend the money and upgrade. You’re too important not to be heard.
