RWR Saturday Sisterhood Session

Let’s face it and keep it real! Not everyone is going to love or like us. Not everyone is going to support our businesses or even “get” what we do…But that doesn’t give us reason to “throw shade” or disrespect each other.

We’re going to have a mature conversation and share REAL LIFE incidents when we feel “shade” was thrown and why. Have you thrown shade and why?

After disecting “the shade” we’re looking for positive solutions and mindset changes. When we love and respect ourselves we want the same in return, but we have to realize not everyone is there. I’m a proponet of “meeting people where they are at” as long as I don’t have to meet them in an “unhealthy space.”

***LIVE TAPING*** Sometimes, you have to keep it “real” real to get to the true problems.

RWR in Training Mentoring Program

This program is near and dear to my heart. I believe it is vital for all women (young and seasoned) to have a non-judgmental supportive sisterhood network, where you can be true blue.

Not all of us women have been blessed to have terrific sisterhood support systems. Some of us grew up with great mothers, aunts, sisters, grandmothers, neighbors, teachers, & etc to mentor us along the way. We understand because of those mentors how it has shaped us into the women we are today.

Just think, if you were never afforded that. The difficulties and struggles that you had along the way; how you had to figure out some things just a little harder than others. Imagine if you had that supportive group and how well you could have developed sisterhood friendships. Although, mistakes and life hiccups develop us, so understanding those hiccups makes us grow.

With this understanding that is why I feel I must reach back and mentor young girls and young adult women; to be able to assist those that may not have that positivity in their life. What’s also true is that sometimes young folks just need to hear it from someone else. Their parents probably advised them on some of the same information and resources that we will provide but having another voice can also help. .

Much Love, Peace, and Blessings!

What’s Love Got To Do With It?

More than likely we all know individuals that have been divorced;  people that have been in long term relationships that ended; and we probably all have single friends or family that do not necessarily want to be single. I’m saying all that to say this:  there are a lot of individuals that are getting into relationships or even dating and LOVE has nothing to do with it. Folks are entering into relationships because they need a partner for financial help; parental help; lonely and need someone to past the time with; or even as an ego booster. We heard the Beautiful Tina Turner sing that hit song What’s Love Got To Do With It” and it stated who needs a heart that can be broken.

I believe there are a lot of people who have made this their theme song. No one wants their heart broken, but living life; having your heart broken is probably inevitable.  If I took a poll I’m sure we all can state who broke our heart and what time in our life it happened. So, it’s safe to say we have never forgotten but that does not mean you bring that baggage into the next relationship. I believe in forgiving but not necessarily forgetting. Not forgetting doesn’t mean you have the mind-set that because someone broke your heart the next person will do the same, so you have to stay so guarded. I believe if you do that you just may be missing out on the right person.

Each heart break or mistake is really a blessing in disguise, because we have the opportunity to learn from each misfortunate. It makes us stronger and wiser. It can be complicated to pass on knowledge to others when you have never experienced it yourself. We can celebrate that we are going into the next situation or relationship with our eyes wide open; it’s really on us if we decide to be blinded by the facts.

Food for thought: Sometimes people that have never been loved do not know how to reciprocate love. Loving them may give them something they have never been exposed to.

Self-Esteem & Self-Worth (Is it a Mindset?)

This is a big one for women. I believe 100% that as women we have all experienced self-esteem issues; some issues very small and some bigger for others. I am no way saying that we all needed to seek therapy for it, I just think at some point in time; whether in our teenage years or even in adulthood we thought about things like:

* Am I cute enough?

* Am I thin enough?

* Is my hair long enough?

* Should I show more of my body to get attention?

(And these are just a few statements that I have heard before)

I will admit I have thought about all of those examples before, but I thought about them and I let it go. I never held on to it. I guess my alpha-male personality (and that’s an entirely different blog in itself) would not ever let me totally get caught up in those self-esteem issues. Although, I have seen plenty of women who I personally know; from articles I have read; and basically seeing it almost everyday on TV that a lot of women have self-esteem and self-worth issues. (Just watch Oprah, right?)

I have found a great article by Dr. Sherry that I hope you find very beneficial for you and someone you care about. This is worth passing on.
Why Can’t I get a Man’s Attention?
