The Loni Swain Show Podcast

Top-rated weekly lifestyle podcast, brand, and community where women of color come to commune. Hosted by media veteran and entrepreneur, Loni Swain. This is a safe space for sharing our honest, relatable, and inspiring stories of navigating personal and professional transitions. Each episode serves as a resource of support to help us process experiences and potentially challenge our perspective. We also discuss the parts of our journey that we often find uncomfortable to talk about – we’re digging into them here in hopes of helping to normalize and destigmatize vulnerability, but to also positively impact other women's outcomes. Creating community and conscious connection, one authentic conversation at a time. Some common themes are wellness, entrepreneurship, mental health, dating/relationships and self-development in candid, vulnerable chats with fascinating guests. Join me and my guests as we live and learn more about ourselves and life, together. Let’s start the conversation. #personaldevelopment #woc #womenofcolor #shepodcasts #relationships #relationshipadvice #careeradvice #entrepreneurship #selfcare #podcasts #podsincolor #vulverability #authenticity #connection #support

    What You Need To Know About Covid-19 + The Vaccine with Dr. Akilah Jefferson Shah, MD

    I'm joined by special guest Dr. Akilah Jefferson Shah, MD - Immunologist - Allergist to discuss the latest COVID-19 updates and what you need to know about the vaccine. **One question that we discussed off-air: After the two rounds of vaccines do you have to get it every year like a flu shot or is that after that? It's not clear yet. That’s only because the virus has only been around for less than a year and the studies have only been going for a few months so they don’t have enough data at this point to know if you’ll need more shots annually or what. But the current studies are going to continue even after the vaccines are FDA approved and they’re gonna continue to look at the people's blood work and immune system to see what’s happening to determine the answer to that question.

    REWIND How Understanding Attachment Theory Can Deepen Your Relationships with Jenny D. Brice

    Rewinding to one of my favorite episodes. I recently re-listened to this episode and deeply needed to reminder and thought I'd share with you while we navigate the holiday season and interact with people who we may wish to connect with on a deeper level. This conversation can offer some perspective. Jenny D. Brice is helping us to better understand attachment theory and how we can use it to deepen our connections. Deepening our connections can result in more joy, satisfaction and fulfillment in our relationships. Jenny says in fact that “There’s nothing more disheartening than spending time tending to your mind, body and spirit, only to return day after day to a relationship where you feel emotionally unsafe and abandoned, with no tools to communicate your needs effectively. If your relationships are not nourishing you, they’re depleting you.” Jenny believes in the power of personal narratives to radically re-shape one’s life, relationships and experiences. Her mission is to elevate and encourage the practice of self-realization through awareness, acceptance, compassion, communication and appreciation; with the knowledge that people are genuinely doing the best they can with the mindsets and resources they have. Jenny is a clinically trained Psychotherapist specializing in the treatment of Individuals, Couples and Families. She is Core Skills certified and trained in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy and Level I trained in Gottman Method Couples Therapy. She is also a Level II Usui Reiki Practitioner, a thirteen-year Public Health Professional and passionate Wellness Enthusiast. Her aim is to support clients in vibrating higher in all aspects of their human experience, by helping them improve the quality of the tools within their reach. From the concrete and analytical to the experiential and spiritual, Jenny utilizes an integrative approach to cultivate healing. Check out this article Jenny wrote about the subject and some suggested reading on the topic.
