I want you all to meet Teasa, a mother, a medical professional, and a wonderful, kind soul. I met Teasa in Minnesota; she ended up being both my Lyft driver and my savior. She opened my perspective on what it means to be kind and move in the world as a loving light, despite what the outside world throws at you. I am very blessed to have met her, and I'm excited for you all to hear her story.

In this episode, we explore this idea of performing in relationships to fit a certain mold that society has created for us. We discover what things from our childhood may have influenced how we show up in relationships today, and we leave here having a better appreciation of ourselves as individuals when it comes to relationships.

In this episode, I explore the need to deeply understand ourselves as individuals and learn how to appreciate our energy in spaces where we are alone. This world can be cruel and likes to push us into hiding our true identities, so I'm working to challenge those perspectives because the world deserves to see you, beautiful, authentic you.

Meet Sage, a highly intuitive psychic who uses their talents to help touch the lives of others. In this episode, we listen to how Sage grew up and some of the challenges he's faced along the way. We both open up about sexuality and challenge the perspective of societal norms, we do believe there is hope, but only time will tell.

Having a dream is terrifying, but also so liberating. In this episode, I unpack what it feels like to have a dream, but also the importance of going after our dreams. This life is too short, and we need to be willing to be scared, take some risks, and be uncomfortable. I speak from experience when I say: don't chase the destination, the journey is what matters.

I want you all to meet Nate the skate, a man who grew up in Cabrini-Green, Chicago. We walk through his life experience, and he reminds us all of the importance of balance, healing, and finding ourselves in a world that constantly tries to bring us down. He talks to us about how skating saved his life and how much he has gained as a result, and that no matter your life experience, you have to be willing to pull up your roots and deal with the pain inside you to see the other side that life can bring.

Welcome to the very first episode of RAW Real Authentic Woman. Today, we are exploring how to rediscover our voice, to take power in it, and be proud of who we are.
