We're rolling out the welcome mat for Justin Kellough, the Parenting Cheerleader of TikTok fame, ready to bring a refreshing dose of honesty to the discussion of default parenting trials and tribulations. It's about the beautiful chaos of having more children than hands, because we all know having just two kids is really supervising a mini army of fifteen! Justin opens his heart about his partner's postpartum depression experience, emphasizing how crucial it is for us to spot the signs and stand as pillars of support during these trying times. Navigating the challenging waves of being the 'default parent' and 'default provider', we bare our parental souls. As a stay-at-home mom of three boys, I share the juggle and struggle of balancing parenting duties with personal aspirations, and how to keep resentment at bay.

“Natural hair is an exquisite crown. It’s a wonder and fascinatin to many. But to the confident black girl or black woman who’s rockin it, they know what they’ve been born and blessed with. A head full of unique, healthy beauty. Natural beauty.” Today I am joined by the CEO and founder of Naturalicious, Gwen Jimmere. Gwen is a gifted visionary on an unrelenting mission to eliminate the exorbitant amount of time that women spend on their beauty routine, by creating high performance, time saving beauty solutions. She’s already made her mark in history as the first African American woman to hold a patent for a natural hair care product. And all of that is the LEAST interesting part of her story! Listen now to know how hair saved her life. 

Being a mother is hard enough as it is. You birth a healthy baby thinking the biggest problem you’ll have is chasing them around to make sure they don’t break any bones. Then one day, on a visit to the pediatrician, you’re faced with the reality of a diagnosis you never even imagined: autism. And it won’t affect just one child, it affects two.

Join me as I talk with Dr. Cheryl Wood, International motivational speaker on how to teach your children about entrepreneurship.

Today I’m chatting with Erin Wright; author, blogger, wife, and mom of three on how she was able to push past a busy life of momming to make her dreams of becoming an author come true.
