In this episode, I reflect on the past four years of podcasting and share an intimate view on what lies ahead for me on this journey. I began here within a month of our "Stay at Home" orders in 2020 and an astonishing 4 years later, my life has completely changed. I have completely changed. I am grateful for all the witnesses in the journey and hope you will join me in the next chapter. Here are some ways to stay in touch that I mention in this episode: Post a question or join a live talk...

In this episode, the heat turns up a little bit as I circle back around the dating pinwheel. It’s an interesting time to be dating ANYONE, let alone multiple people at once. Is this polyamory thing no good? And what historical context is there for relating so fluidly?! Let’s talk about it.

In this episode, we are on the equity train and headed somewhere real. How many orgs and businesses you know now have a Diversity Officer or DEI consultant these days? How much do you believe that person can lift on their own? Not as much if they had more hands. So then we have to wonder why so many of us don’t want to touch the hot topic of equity, inclusion and justice…PLUS the anti-burnout method that has worked for me.

In this episode, I tackle a hard subject that felt urgent and timely to speak on NOW. I for one, am tired of hearing heartbreaking testimonies of people that have been bullied, abused, teased, tormented, tortured or no longer with us at the hands of people deeply wounded and unhappy in their own lives. Enough is enough. Tune in to sit with me in circle and let’s get curious on how to make sovereignty the new normal. Join me on the Wisdom app for more audio content and to build community -...

In this episode, I share about my experience as an Ifa initiate, something that I once thought would bring me in more alignment with my ancestors and with God. While I am no longer associated with the “ile” (Yoruba for house or family) I discuss in this episode, or with Ifa, do listen while remembering that this is my story and my experience may not resonate for everyone. As a life path 7, I have dedicated alot of my time researching and exploring my roots, religion, spirituality and the...

In this episode, I go IN. This is a tell-all conversation on love, romance, intimacy, my views + experience on dating apps and my “failed” marriage. Right now, I am the best version of myself and my hope is that some of my wisdom and experience can save you some heartache or time. Many of us don’t get home training on healthy emotional, social, sexual or mental rigor we need to be the healthy adults, leaders and parents the future is requiring that we be. How do we get there? One conversation...

In this episode, I let my freak flag fly and reminisce on my early days with (Steve) Urkel…yes!…and how much better my life has been because I’ve been keeping my quirks strong and steady.

In this episode, I offer my ode to books, truly my first love. With my own two eyes, I have spied libraries as the center of community action (with some potentials for more, as mentioned inside), authors that dub as therapists for those of us who need more accessible options, and a place to travel, adventure and fantasize until life offers a new reality.

In this episode, I RETURN (but don't call it comeback!) in more ways than one. We are just about to hit the halfway mark with Season 3 so I thought it would be a good time to come back on and ground us back down into what we're up to here at Sojourn of Light + House of SOLEIL anyways and share a snippet from my journey.
