Dear God, Are We There Yet?

This amazing quote sums up this fierce episode with @love_light31" We can't be afraid of change. You may feel very secure in the pond that you are in, but if you never venture out of it, you will never know that there is such a thing as an ocean, a sea. Holding onto something that is good for you now, maybe the very reason why you don't have something better." C. JoyBell CHow many times have you recited this question" Why is it so hard to let go?" You probably feel like a broken record but it's natural we are human, we are flawed but we are vessels of growth on this journey of life if our soul is determined to maneuver through the funk and let our inner buddha guide us. It was great to catch up with a familiar voice who I know is a game changer for self growth with conquering so many adversities in life.

Nope, Tune in and connect with real woman who are brave and bold enough to stand the truth of what lemons life has given them. They are making more than just some good old fashioned lemonade. Lence shares the "realness of postpartum and how life is sweeter than cherries when she wakes up next to her precious gift.

 Second child syndrome to a Leo can be annoying but when you find out JLO is a Leo I guess we can have a conversation, Nah but seriously I was just having a conversation with my eldest brother when I was like "I need to record his Dominican ass and show our listeners our spitting image of our personalities, hype and funny anecdotes. So as he awaits to see his Barber for that infamous fade he's on the hot seat and we get into the details of our opinions on the state of mind of our beautiful countries stupid backwards politics and just to add for all of the people hinting they “think" it’s a good idea how we need to build walls or immigrants need to go back to their countries heres what we have to say because there is a reason why we come to America (sidenote: I was born here and yes my parents came on a plane not a boat) By the way my brother keeps forgetting the podcast is mainly English so excuse the Spanish I try my best to remind him. Wepa cue the merengue or bachata and enjoy.   

This episode is as fierce as the intro pic! This conversation with my old LA roomy @richardson_chery reminds me of our couch chats! I always used to tell him about that magical couch we had for the deepest conversations. Tears, truth, laughter, heated arguments and a little bit of Nam Myoho Renge Kyo at the end. This episode is a surprise chat with a little old fashion prank calling looking for juicy conversations and I was so lucky he picked up the phone and spilled the tea on what makes him wonder with todays world current events and can you believe I added a little 2 cents about politics and people that know me know I NEVER talk about politics I actually respect people and choose not to talk about it simply because I don’t want to and not to mention I like to live in Utopia land. Nah on a serious note this is a no judgment zone so it was so good to just talk no matter what your voice represents. Turn up the volume and share the episode for ya chica because we had a little Dear, Mr. so called president mome

Yes ih this episode we are opening those can of worms or like Cardi B says show me the shmoney....So many people feel uncomfortable talking about money but Coach Toya Credit and Finance expert spills the tea and keeps it real on what you should be doing. Growing up my family never talked about money. You could tell from their emotions that it was an unsaid topic. However; What I did realize that in the latin community in MY experience it was very unheard of to talk about money. Culture does matter, to a degree. A lot of mainstream financial advice assumes that everyone has the basic information, like “Don’t spend everything you make” or “Save 10%.” In reality, different conversations are happening in a lot of African-American and Latin America households. However; Coach Toya is giving us some tools that you'll want to hear that could literally change your life. Live the life you want to live with a sexy budget and being in the 700 club! "You can be the poorest person in the world but if you have good credit y

Dear God, Is life really sweet? When you’re wife @woodwivesjournal is on the mic you tend to have a little too much fun debating on more than what’s for dinner! Q&A with my bae!! See you’ve decided to view life in a certain way. You chose that path on your own. So your certain way of seeing things will be influenced by this perspective. Be careful. Work is not fun. Studying is not fun. Waking up to drive in traffic is not fun. Going to work at a job you hate is not fun. But these are necessary for self-growth. Your future sense-of-self will thank you for it and your higher-self is waiting in the present moment. My amazing beautiful, intelligent, wife seriously keeps me on my toes because she’s totally not a yes girl and I guess it what makes this episode appealing and for married couples you’ll be nodding away in agreement.( ya’ll know everything ain’t no peaches and cream) Life is what you make of it. You can either make it awesomely rad or drastically sad. You are the source to create meaning in your Li

Can you really be out of questions in this lifetime? This week I am coming to you with something different, something that might make you say hmmm, I guess I need to see it that way or better yet, I absolutely don't agree with you Alicia and either response is awesome because that's what I want you to discover on this episode. Have you been swallowed with goals like a ping pong game back and fourth wondering, doing, waiting. Better yet do people criticize you, label you or judge you for something that is innate within. Can you change that, or better yet why should you change your inner DNA? This week let's' discover some answers together but it's mandatory to be transparent with yourself without the need to mask it with a smile or affirmations glued to your screen. Today I am your guest speaker. Follow us @deargodarewethereyet. Want to be a guest on our show where we just talk like it’s 1995 email us hello@deargodarewethereyet.com
