ConverSayShons Wit My Black Self: Colloquialism Professionally Matters!

Tae'

It's not about color! It's about transparency, and the effective understanding and relatability that embraces culture and real life conversation over clinical jargon.

Mental note: Scientific jargon is better understood and received by some, while colloquial expression is better understood and embraced by others; one-style-doesn't-fit-all.

    "Read Between The Lenses In Yo-Life!"

    Send us Fan Mail Roles are represented through different lenses throughout your life. When you take the time to sit back and reflect on them, you position yourself to read, understand, process, and learn what you failed to see, hear, and realize - not only about yourself, but about him, her, them, and all of y'all. That's what it means to Read Between the Lenses. Support the show

    Mad? Triggered? Good. Here's Why.

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we're talking about when and why those emotional reactions occur, why they matter, what they can reveal about us, and how to stop giving people so much control over our peace and our words. This isn't about pretending your feelings don't matter; it's about learning to manage them so you don't have to apologize for your reactions later. You may not like everything I have to say... and that's okay. Sit with it anyway. Sometimes, the very thing that irritates you the most is thumbing-you toward the very thing you need to address.

    The Bahahahahah-ttle is Not YOUrs, it's Them!

    Send us Fan Mail When the nonsense starts stirring up another Bahahahahah-ttle in your mind… remember one important thing: The Bahahahahah-ttle is not YOUrs… it’s THEM! Bee Ess Wilson started it. Klepto Cleveland keeps stealing and reselling trouble. Big’Ole Baxter keeps biting off more than she can chew and feeding the drama. Crae Thomas keeps acting crazy and losing control. Cryyee Deville keeps boo-hoo-ing and flooding the stage with tears. But you? You’re the director, and with God, the GOAT, guiding your script... you already know who wins in every scene!

    Wit YOUr "GoOD-Complaining" Self!

    Send us Fan Mail Is this You, too? Do you ever find yourself irritated, misunderstood, or quietly storing frustration while still trying to live disciplined, faithful, and intentional? In this episode of Wit YOUR “GoOD-Complaining” Self!, we unpack the practice of GOOD-COMPLAINING, a faith-anchored form of cognitive reframing that transforms irritation into insight and reaction into regulation. This isn’t about denial...it’s about governance! We explore what it means to “be angry and sin not,” to examine ourselves before assigning blame, and to interpret life’s bends without declaring them endings. If you’re learning to discipline your perspective, protect your peace, and let faith guide your frame, this conversation might be yours, too. Support the show

    The Chatter. The Scrolling. The Distractions. The power of Silence.

    Send us Fan Mail https://www.buzzsprout.com/2381461/subscribe In this episode, I do it my way — stepping right into the noise: the chatter, the scrolling, the constant distractions, and uncovering the quiet truth hidden underneath it all. Facts: When life gets too loud to think, silence becomes more than peace, it becomes power. Because sometimes, when we refuse to just be quiet, when we can’t stop talking, reacting, or explaining, what we really need is to shut up — before we shut down. "Shut-up is a boundary word, short, clear, and intentional. It can serve as a protection for mental space, and create space." Stay tuned, subscribe, and support the podcast.

    When Faith Hurts: Singing Loud, Breaking Quiet, Living Silent

    Send us Fan Mail “I am learning more and more about how to appreciate the noise around me, while finding ways to engage it, effectively. Perfection is NOT my goal, Wholeness is.” ~Mentally-speaking, I'm talking about image-based coping — when a person relies on outward performance, appearance, or status symbols to mask internal distress. Research shows that this often intensifies anxiety, depression, and feelings of isolation. ~For church folks, a familiar look resembles singing loud but hurting quiet. For nonbelievers, it looks like flexing the body, the house, the car — looking perfect on the outside while crumbling on the inside. Let’s be real, it’s not about looking holy, snatched, or chest-fabulous! It’s not about the trends. It’s about being real. It’s about getting whole. ~We’ve gotta stop performing faith that looks cute on Sunday but falls apart by Monday. We need faith that actually works for us — the kind that steadies us when life shakes, heals instead of hides. Because at the end of the day, and this thought; the only faith that really matters isn’t the kind that makes us look good… it’s the kind that makes us whole...

Focusing on what others have and the picture that society paints can have you vain, materialistic, in bad relationships, and broke with a pocket full of lint.
