Learn To Ask For Help

When was the last time you mustered up the courage to ask someone for help? Be honest with me, how comfortable were you when you asked for that help? If you are like me, you were not very comfortable. Take a moment to reflect on the person’s reaction after you asked them for help. Did they scorn you for not asking sooner? Say you’d figure it out like you always do? Or maybe they said no and you were left questioning why you ever asked in the first place? The harsh reality is, these reactions can and will[...]

Check In With Your Partner

When was the last time you checked in with your partner? I am not speaking of the call or text you send when they are not in your presence. Or the daily conversations you both generally have. I am referring to the uninterrupted, one on one check in you have that serves as a status update for where you stand in your relationship. Surprisingly, many couples do not have a reoccurring time set aside for a check in with one another. Donald and I began checking in once a month post birth of our son Hunter. Ou[...]

There Is No Right Way To Step Parent

Being a step parent comes with a range of challenges that I cannot put into words all the time. If I sit in my own truth, I never wanted to be a step parent; it’s no secret. I have read many articles and publications on this topic; most have negative opinions, biases and theories on the do’s and don’ts of step parenting. Society seems to be solely focused on the relationship between a child and their birth parent versus the ability to build and cultivate the relationship between a child and their step p[...]

I Will Always Overcome

Truth of, Tauneisha Williams My name is Tauneisha Lashe' Williams. I'm here to share my story. A very long time ago I was taken from my mother due to her drug habit. I was raised by a God fearing Pastor Ms. Pamela Latimer. I'm not going to make this long… My only wish is to help someone that needs a listening ear. My younger years were the hardest. I went thru juvenile, prison, being shot, addicted to drugs, issues with cps because of my drug habit, amongst other things… I've been from sleeping in park[...]

Co-Parenting

Truth of, Raquel White “Be wise as serpents, but innocent as doves.” My truth about co-parenting... I took my focus off of how to “fix” the other party and placing blame became a thing of the past. I transferred that energy into becoming the very best mom and parent partner I could be. I make it a point to sacrifice and compensate so that my son receives the most out of his young life and avoids exposure to things that could hinder him. I realized I couldn’t protect him from everything a[...]

The Issue of Identity

Truth of, Mukoma Simpanya I sat in my apartment deliberating on what truth I wanted to share and after about 2 hours it hit me the truth that is still a constant struggle for me even today and one many immigrants share. The truth I sit in and want to give voice to is one of identity. I was born in Zambia, Africa and grew up in Australia. I learned about both cultures and embraced both so when I’m asked “What are you?” and “Where are you from?” I’m often faced with the task of delivering a[...]
