Let's Speak About it

Hello Everyone!!! LSAI is back and this week we are all about self-preservation honey.  This world stays moving and turning whether or not you are ready for it, so why not be ready? If you stay ready you never have to get ready ;) This episode focuses on the power of your thoughts and creating your ideal reality with nothing but your mind. <3

Hey all, I know I have been a little MIA lately but this week I'm back with a bang, talking about my experience of being on TV for the first time. In this episode, I wrap up the season by speaking about how everything that you need is already in you.  As someone who struggles with imposter syndrome (doubting your abilities and feeling like a fraud), I really learned a lot by putting myself out there. I hope this episode encourages you to try that thing that's always scared you because who knows, imagine all that could go right!

Hey everyone, In this week's episode, we are discussing the chokehold that fear sometimes has over our lives.  We've all done something(s) out of fear or worse, not even tried because of the very same fear.  Listen to this episode to hear about different ways of viewing and using your fears to push you to do great things.

This episode was inspired by the viral slap from last week. Will Smith slaps Chris Rock after he says a joke about Jada's (Will's wife) hair. Was Will justified? Was it really that deep? After all, it's just hair, right. Wrong! If you haven't already, find out why Black women's hair is more than "just hair" in this week's episode of Let's Speak About It.

A goal without a timeline is just not achievable. Every year many of us create New Year&apos;s Resolutions. We have these ambitious goals that we would love to achieve, but many people struggle with a practical plan of action on how to successfully achieve their goals.

So, find out new ways to reach your goals, be held accountable for your desires, share your journey with people who support you, and don&apos;t forget to speak about it.

How is it that children inherit the family feuds?  Have you grown up always hearing negative comments about your cousins,aunts and uncles.
