    Happy Valentine’s Day y’all! I hope today is filled with all your favorite things…in the meantime, here’s a quick episode about why I want a partner over a husband and why our shared goals are more important than the roles we’re supposed to be playing. #Transparency #DoItScared #RealRelationshipGoals

    Why are you "friends" with people who don't even LIKE you??

    Why are you "friends" with people who don't even LIKE you??

    Listen, in the year of 2023 I want ya'll to release friendships with people who don't even LIKE you! The ones where you're the only one calling, supporting and doing all the listening. The ones where you're being laughed at rather than laughed with, the ones where the other person's schedule is always full when you need some of their time. Forget that whole "no new friends" mantra and find you some people who want to love on you, who appreciate being in reciprocal relationships with people they like, can grow with and learn from. #FindYourPeople #DropDeadWeight #DoItScared

    What keeps you from clapping when others are winning?

    What keeps you from clapping when others are winning?

    It can be hard to clap for someone who’s seemingly living the life you wanted and reaping the harvest you prayed for. It’s like, why them and not me!? Know that your season is on the way and clapping for others doesn’t delay your time. Clap anyway.

    Sometimes the loudest applause gotta be your own…

    Sometimes the loudest applause gotta be your own…

    First, Merry Christmas and happy start to the New Year!! We made it through 365 whole days and while some of em’ were touch and go, WE MADE IT!! If no one else says it, I am proud of us! Now we have the opportunity to reset our mind, repurpose our energy and choose our direction for the next 365. Episode 3 touches on that a bit, encouraging you to write your goals, reconnect with your heart and be intentional. I also discover (yes, while recording lol) my word for 2023. Lastly, I share the importance of being your own cheerleader and clapping for yourself, first, a lesson I’m still learning…enjoy!

Yea... I’m listening!!

This podcast is everything that is needed in this time we’re in! The relatable conversations that are had, the information/resources that are given.. Ovie provides a intimate platform for these things to occur. If you’re debating listening you should definitely treat yourself! Keep doing what you’re doing; even if you have to do it scared!

NO OTHER OPTION ,

Wow!!! Encore!!

Thank you in advance, for the encouragement, the authenticity, the courage, the wisdom & the strength. This was amazing. It was my first time listening in; however, it won’t be my last & I’ve already shared it with others. The realness in this. From the tears, to the moments of laughter. It’s just pure greatness. I’m delighted that more black people, yup black people are starting to have these conversations. As stated, “it’s necessary.” Listening to this helped me put more things into perspective in my life as a young professional, sister, daughter, niece, aunt, friend & more. THANK YOU! Peace & blessings queen to a lot more in your future!! 💜
