Join the conversation by letting us know what you think about the episode!We read and discussed Stacey Abrams' Our Time Is Now before the results of the 2024 election were announced. We were excited and hopeful and wanted to share Stacey's message, information and talented wordsmithing with everyone. We're in a very different emotional space right now, but we still want everyone to read Our Time Is Now. We stand by our view that Stacey Abrams' book is vital and important. And necessary. The truth remains that we aren't taught everything about our system of government and elections, how they came to be, how they are manipulated, and how they can be fixed. Stacey Abrams' Our Time Is Now pulls back the curtain so we can see what we're dealing with while also providing solutions to make it all work for the greater good.

Join the conversation by letting us know what you think about the episode!So many people walk through life wearing a mask, disconnected from themselves. How can we drop the mask and reconnect? According to this week's guest, Gao Motsemme, we have to get to the core of the issue and connect to source. That's how we get to the sexual and creative energy that the patriarchy is so afraid of. That's how we connect to the queen within and let her thrive!Gao Motsemme is a mother of three who emerged from the ashes of betrayal and emotional turmoil. For years, she hid behind a mask of strength, until life’s greatest challenges—divorce, judicial injustice, and separation from her children, stripped her down to her core.

Now she helps high achievers break free from generational trauma, embody emotional independence, and reclaim their spiritual and sexual sovereignty. Her work empowers individuals to thrive in the boardroom and ignite passion in their relationships.

Join the conversation by letting us know what you think about the episode!One common belief is that our colleges and universities are safe spaces and, if we are subjected to sexual violence, our schools will protect us. Unfortunately, that is not true for so many people. In fact, victims are often retraumatized by the very people in authority who are supposed to help them. Why? What is happening? What isn't happening? What can be done?
