We often hear about folks being canceled for racist and rude comments, poor conduct, and everything in between. What about canceling the people who we live with and depend on everyday?

I recently had to move out of the Office at Work that I’ve occupied for the past two years.

I recently discovered how easy certain GOOD aspects of my self-improvement have become. I’m not sure when the pattern of simplicity occurred, but it’s worth acknowledging and celebrating. Becoming a better person was like learning to ride a bike...challenging at first with lots of bruises that suddenly and magically transformed into mastery. Are you riding the bike easily in certain areas of your life and not realizing that you’re doing it? Have you worked so hard to become better that you feel like you no longer have anything to lose? That’s what I’m experiencing, and it’s a wonderful feeling! I hope that you’re experiencing it too!

Many women have been programmed to compete with other women...intellectually, financially, physically, and sexually. That competition is getting us nowhere, and it’s ruining our ability to create authentic sisterhood circles. No matter what job we hold, where we live, how much money we make, or how we look, all women struggle with a limp of some sort. Having a sisterhood circle that makes us feel safe and comfortable sharing our unique truths, can help us to correct our limp. What’s your sisterhood circle feeling like? Is it sour or is it sweet? --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/misshandie/message

Narcissism is out of control, and people that exhibit these petty and immature behaviors are all around us...family, friends, co-workers, managers, neighbors, and associates. We don’t have to tip-toe around them to survive and be happy. It’s time to give them a different experience so that we can enjoy our lives and they can stop sucking up our energy. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/misshandie/message
