Fall 2023: Session 280 (Winning and Grieving with Evingerlean D. Blakney, Ph.D.)
28:45|Behind all of the wins—there have been many days of uncontrollable tears and clouds of unknowns about how I’d come out of such darkness. This has been one of the most difficult and painful years of my life, and I can't say that I’m through the worst of it. In the same breath, the triumphs have been undeniably uncanny, and the depth of my gratitude and joy just cannot be articulated. What I can tell you is to get up and carry on, my love. Trust that the sun will rise again. Remain steadfast and always be thankful. Winning and grieving can coexist. Allow yourself to feel all of it. Happy 1-2-3-1-2-3! 🥂Summer 2023: Session 279 (When It's Time to Pivot with Dr. T'Airra Belcher)
33:44|Finding oneself at a crossroad is one thing, but knowing exactly which way to go once there is another.

13:10|We see things. We feel things. We hear things. The answers our questions are always there--the signs are always present. Yet, somehow, we ignore 'em. It happens to the best of us. So, let's talk about why you should be paying attention to the signs.

21:05|Change is good. In fact, change is everywhere and happens every day. It can be as major as changing careers or as subtle as taking a different route to work or moving the furniture in your house. I know you already know this, but change is also inevitable and scary. And as humans, we are creatures of habit, so we don’t always like things that mess up our peace and security. But whether you like change or dislike what it does to your life, I believe we need to embrace it.

20:04|Did you know that a typical human being dreams an average of about 4 to 6 dreams per night? If you can experience at least four dreams a night, why is it that you’re still stuck on that one idea that failed to materialize? How you want your life to look doesn’t have to be constant. Things change, and new passions are discovered daily. Don’t limit yourself to a certain number of objectives just because that’s what society dictates. If you feel like the path you’re currently on is not the right one for you, by all means, change it. The prospect will seem daunting but trust me; you won’t regret it.

05:20|In this season, I’m learning to embrace all of Evingerlean, as she is right now, not waiting for a “better” version of her to show up. So, I'm reminding you today to STOP WAITING for later to love yourself and be enough.

04:12|Life just be life'in sometimes, don't it? It can be so easy to get caught up in feelings of defeat, wondering if what you're doing is enough, or even trying to make sense of your place in the world. So, I just wanted to stop by to give you a reason (or a few) to keep, keepin', keepin' on... as in, keep pressing forward!

17:37|When you ask for life to bring you all of the things that you want... Do you ever ask for the ability to handle it when it arrives? It's important to ask for the capacity for what you've asked for so you won't be out here fumbling.

24:16|Let's take it back with this one. As we continue to move through the seasons of life, let's not forget to check in with ourselves. What does it mean to you to acknowledge that a truth exists? Once you bring it to your awareness, what do you do with it? Recently, someone shared with Dr. Eve that... Even if you try to act like a truth doesn't exist, that's not going to make it go away. So, let's talk tonight about acknowledging your truth. Don't forget to connect with me on LinkedIn, Instagram, and Facebook @Evingerlean.
