Happy Drop: Ironheart Episodes 1–3: A Fiery Start or Just Warming Up

Ironheart Episodes 1–3: A Fiery Start or Just Warming Up Listen below now or on your favorite streaming platform ! Ironheart, starring Anthony Ramos, Dominique Thorne, Manny Montana, and Lyric Ross, was released by Disney+ to some controversy and mixed reviews. And by controversy, I mean misogyny and racist hate. So there is this thing that racists do when they can’t help their racism in the entertainment industry. They tank a production with bad reviews when they haven’t even engaged with it. Similar to those who talked trash about Cowboy Carter without even having listened to it. Similar to those who already decided they hated the Little Mermaid live-action movie because Halle Bailey played Ariel. The same people who will hop on social media and leave terrible, disparaging comments on posts that they are hateful towards because they are racist or anti LGBTQ. They have to find a way to express the hate in their hearts when people are just trying to live their best lives. It’s called r...

The Power of a Proactive Mindset: Small Steps, Big Transformations

Image
The Power of  a Proactive Mindset You don’t have to chase what’s meant for you. What’s meant for you, will find you. -Alex Elle Listen below now or on your favorite streaming platform ! What is meant for you will find you, but you must be ready to receive it. I often imagine that some people may hear that quote and believe that if they think it or dream it, it will come. That is a wonderful sentiment but lacks a basis in reality. Because you have to lay the groundwork to not only receive it but, most importantly, first, recognize it. Sometimes that thing can be staring you down, but because you are not in a space to notice, the moment passes you by.  Recognize and receive.  Are you ready for it? What’s meant for you can be life-changing but only if you are ready to go in that direction. So it is not enough to dream about it, although that is a start, but we have to do the work. Of course, we don’t have to chase that thing down because if you are doing the work, I genuinel...

Sinners: The One Thing That Stopped Me from Giving It a Perfect 10

Sinners: The One Thing That Stopped Me from Giving It a Perfect 10 Listen below now or on your favorite streaming platform ! Stress Management Tip inspired by Sammie: Follow your heart You must become unshakable in the belief that you are worthy of a big life –Kristin Lohr Sinners, directed by Ryan Coogler, was released on April 18, 2025, to high critical praise and a strong box office showing for an R-rated horror movie. It is poised to become a classic.  Although I wanted to see it the weekend it came out because … well, Ryan Coogler, I did not have the opportunity, and all the social media comments were giving me FOMO. I was finally able to take myself on a movie date and went to see it on a quiet Thursday night. Interestingly, more people were in the theater than I had anticipated, which was a nice surprise.  Again, all I knew about Sinners was that it had vampires in it, and Ryan Coogler directed it. Honestly, that was enough for me. Sinners is set during the 1932 Jim Cro...

When Doing It All Goes Wrong: 5 Life Balance Tips to Get Back on Track

Image
When Trying to Do It All Goes All Wrong Listen below now or on your favorite streaming platform ! I have often wondered if there was such a thing as feeling too good and I may have found the answer recently. February was a good month. I was on a roll. I was coming off a tough time and started feeling like I was getting my groove back. Things were beginning to fall back in place and feel manageable again. So I decided to refocus on my health because I had slacked off a bit. In comes this 14-day health challenge that I felt good about. It seemed that I should be able to participate in it fairly easily. I think my feeling good about everything else fooled me into thinking I could handle this 14-day health challenge along with everything else. I really thought I could do it all with no regard to how I was going to balance it all. As I got to the second day of the challenge, I realized that I took for granted the time it would take to devote to doing it.  The challenge required that I c...
