Listen to the show opener with a confession on surrendering from award-winning journalist and The Good Girl Podcast host, Cameo King.

Motherhood is a hood that is not for the weak or faint of heart. It's hood that takes a person on a journey of self-awareness, sacrifice, and uncompromising love however it's a journey that most, if not all, are not prepared for.

This week’s confession is all about me: It’s about my inability to consistently choose myself in ALL things. It means prioritizing my needs, my desires, and my goals in all things – Now let's be clear, I’ve chosen myself before, in many instances, and continue to do so - but it's the "in all things" and "consistently" is the problem. So this week, I share three reasons why I still continue to put myself second and how it's holding me back.

Support - It's the one thing many go-getters, entrepreneurs, and quite frankly, people, expect from their loved ones. For those who profess love and care, it seems like a simple ask to "show up" when a person needs help in their business, career, or just life.  Well, that expectation will leave you disappointed.  Listen to this live conversation with host, Cameo King and Tanesha Ash Shakoor, J.D. founder of Voices of Color at the National Professional Men's Network and the National Professional Women's Network Business Expo in Grand Rapids, MI as they answer why "no one is showing up for you."

It goes without saying that the birthing mother's health is foundational in determining the health of the child.

Listen as Dr. Shoyinka, Medical Director of the Ingham County Health Department, explores the ways genetics, specifically from mothers', play a role in our health outcomes as adults. 

It seems like in the year 2022, with record-high food & gas prices, MAYBE the ending of the COVID pandemic, and the heightened awareness of America's soul, the success of society still rests in a women's ability to submit to men. (JOKE - laugh) Yes, submission. It's an extremely controversial never-ending topic. A topic where most conversations surrounding submission are shallow, lack depth, and are one-sided.  In this week's podcast, host, Cameo King of The Good Girl Podcast , and Danielle Moore, licensed mental health therapist and chief practitioner at The Refresh Wellness Center  share a perspective with a gutted truth about women who have lost or have a lot to lose in the name of "submission."  

Beaches, Bikinis, & Bottomless Mimosas! Planning for the summer girls' trip has begun. We're already imagining the turn-up, the laughs, and the flirtatious outing with somebody's son.  But have we forgotten one of the most important factors? Covid. While it seems we are moving toward the end of the 2-year pandemic, we may want to proceed with caution.  Listen as we chat with Dr. Shoyinka, medical director of the Ingham County Health Department about whether it's safe for us to go outside for summer 22!

Ya’ll- I know we are bout tired of this topic!  I am too! I am too! My friends said, "I ain’t got a dog in this fight!" I do not! I fought tooth and nail whether or not I should say anything about it. And I lost the fight. But hear me out, this is going to be short and I am intentional about only adding value. I share 3 (quick) points about what this says about you (and not them).

The way  Denver Broncos quarterback, Russell Wilson, gushes over his wife Ciara is what dreams are made of! The unequivocal support, the loving her out loud, and his dedication to God - this is what many women desire in their partner.  So what do we do - ask our sis, Ciara, "what was the prayer" in hopes that we could manifest the boo of our dreams.  But the truth is many women have been praying that prayer for decades and have yet to see any glimmer of hope. Reka, host of the Single You Podcast asked "What about all the unanswered prayers?"  We had a very real conversation this past Monday on her podcast and decided to continue it here. Our conversation holds no punches about the reality many women of faith face praying for a husband.
