    a godless society is a loveless society

    a godless society is a loveless society

    In today's episode we explore Bell Hook's definition of a loveless society, the forces that drive it and how each of us at times participate in it.

    We encourage you to ask the question - how can I return to love?

    God, I want to know you

    God, I want to know you

    In today's episode I share my personal testimony on how God saved me from myself and how His love completely changed the trajectory of my life. I felt compelled to share my testimony because I want to build a community that is based on trust, respect and faith. I want to create an environment where we can openly talk about the magic God plays in our lives every single day.

    don't rush the process: meet yourself where you're at

    don't rush the process: meet yourself where you're at

    Do you ever feel like you're behind in life? Fun fact: This is a completely normal feeling. However, the anxiety and fear associated with this feeling can prove to be more harmful than helpful. So why do we continuously burden ourselves with these arbitrary self-imposed timelines? In today’s episode we deep dive into the importance of accepting our present selves and where we are on our journeys in any and every aspect of our lives.

    Sometimes, we just need to meet ourselves where we're at

    is this seasonal depression or a season of reflection?

    is this seasonal depression or a season of reflection?

    Every aspect of life is cyclical, from our circadian rhythm to seasonal changes. If we allow ourselves to view the most complex and intimate parts of ourselves, particularly our emotions in this way, we can break free of the mentality that traps us into believing our emotions are one-dimensional and consistent. Our emotions mirror and respond to the seasons and the very real changes that take place in the different areas of our lives. So I question, what if Seasonal Depression is a label we use to make sense of how we naturally feel during slower, less productive seasons of our lives? What if we reframed our perception of slowing down and our cultural understanding of it? What if we tune in to our natural rhythm and begin to see slower seasons as an opportunity to reflect and to recharge?

    Let's talk about it in today's episode

    i like taking care of my boyfriend...so what? (gender roles & expectations in modern relationships)

    i like taking care of my boyfriend...so what? (gender roles & expectations in modern relationships)

    Women are no longer in the kitchen. In fact, we're in the streets, shaking ass and wreaking havoc... and GOOD FOR US. Women are more empowered than ever today. I mean, I could nearly do whatever I want and yet, I still choose to clean my home and make my boyfriend dinner. Bizarrely enough, engaging in acts of service for my male partner -- especially as a modern, progressive woman is considered controversial today. Is this internalized misogyny? Am I seeking male validation to determine my worth as a woman? Am I another pawn of the patriarchy? Or do I just like a clean home and to see my partner with a full belly after a long day of work?  Many of us want the Instagram lifestyle but not the sacrifices that come with it. I question, can we really have our cake and eat it too?

    I don't know. But what I do know is today's guest, Deidra (my best friend) and I break down the expectations associated with the different sexes in modern relationships and why we at times still fall into those traditional roles... sue us!

audg3 ,

So much wisdom!

Crissy is so introspective and has learned so much from her own experiences. Lucky for us, she is passionate about sharing that wisdom with the world 💓 I love starting my morning with this podcast and know she will go far!

Toouncool ,

Love to see self awareness being promoted !

Crissy podcast is one to look out for , the POV of a young woman at the cusp of that age where life experiences are not feeling as repetitive yet. As a colored woman ending her 20’s it’s going to be fun to hear the dialogue of what life for a New Yorker in her early 20’s in this time and era has to say. Excited to tune in every Wednesday!
