PR98: How Food Sets The Tone For Your Thoughts and Behavior

While I do believe that how you think is more important than how you eat, from my experience, my mind has always been it's clearest and most focused during the times that I've eaten the best.
It's not rocket science that what you put into your body matters and anyone who eats food (every-body) can attest to the fact that they feel certain ways after eating certain foods.
Cleaning up your body has a majestic way of cleaning up your thoughts, and with clear and intentional thoughts you put yourself in the driver's seat of your behavior and ultimately your life.

PR97: What To Do When Harvest Doesn’t Come: Lessons From My Garden

Whether you're working to restore your health or simply in pursuit of a better life, the journey is undoubtedly not going to look exactly the way you may expect.
Although we love to highlight the bountifulness of fruitful living, there are going to be times when despite planting seeds in what you believe is good soil, despite watering it consistently and making sure it has adequate sunlight, the harvest still doesn't come.
What does one do when you put time, energy, and genuine effort into something you greatly desire, and you have nothing to "show" for it?

PR96: #BlackOnBlackOppression Our Obsession With Replaying Trauma Is Not Activism

We've been lied to. We were taught that in order to love our people and community we must stay connected by way of our pain points. The more traumatic the better.
Trauma is deeply embedded in our DNA and no matter how much you try to move beyond it, it's always the people who claim to love you who are there to remind you that you must not forget.
I wonder what would happen if we decided to forget traumatic memories and create new visions of a powerful and fearless future.

PR95: What We Can Learn From Michelle Williams About Depression, Fraudulent Christians & Pseudo Help

Michelle Williams says she wants to normalize the mental health discussion. Well, let's chat.
The narrative is that most people are suffering from some sort of mental illness and the solution is to "seek help". Funny though, that help always seems to come packaged with some sort of mind-altering and nerve-damaging psychotropic drug.
Christians, on one hand, say that by His stripes they're healed, yet they see little to no healing taking place. On the other hand, they claim it's ok to drug themselves up because God is working through doctors to help them create drugs people need, yet the drugs are making people worse.
Wtf is really going here?

PR94: How Not To Leave 2018 The Same Way You Came In

Yes, it's July and yes, we're at the midway point of 2018. However, I'm here to remind you that I don't give a where you currently are, you do NOT have to leave 2018 the same way you came in.
Remember the hardest person you have to convince is yourself.

Hate to tell you but you're soft and the life you say you want is not accessible to the soft.
We can all agree that life will and often does kick your unexpectedly, however, it's imperative to know what to do and how to do it in order to keep pressing forward.
On this episode, I'm challenging you to look at your kickings just a little bit differently.

PR92: The Most Important Decision You Have To Make This Lifetime

I don't give a what's going on in this physical world, I need you to understand that your health and wellness really comes down to one decision.
You must decide what you believe.
Are you following the reality that other humans have created or are you creating and living the reality you say you want and believe in??

PR90: How To Help Our Kids NOT Be The Sick and Weak Punk Asses That We Are

How you gon' win when you ain't right within?
Our bodies are falling apart, our minds have gone to , and we have become weak links who, rather than operating in our power, have become emotional pawns in this earthly game.
The problem, however, is that we claim we're here to leave a legacy. So as much as we would like to "preach" to the youth, the question at hand is what are we really "doing" to illustrate what healthy, wise and abundant living really looks like?

PR89: Dear Women, Your Inability To Shift Focus Is Costing You Your Health

I don't want to hear anything else about toxic masculinity because what we're now experiencing in response to this "problem" is toxic femininity.
Society has created a narrative for women to follow and we have followed suit to our own detriment.
Until focus is shifted to the matter at hand, we will continue to see the rise in mental and physical health problems with women that ultimately trickle down to our children, our families and our community.
