[EPISODE 5] com·plain·ing

It’s not what you think!
Hope’s complaints come from a good place, really. So often, complaining has a negative connotation but with Hope, we explore the derivation of the outward expression which undoubtedly, turns the whole thing on its head!
Host: Shantell Thomas

com·plain·ing
/kəmˈplāniNG/
noun
the expression of dissatisfaction or annoyance about something
BOOK EXCERPT
Starting with a question, much like a teacher might, I invite
you to reflect: How often do you catch yourself complaining
each day? If it's more often than you'd like to admit, you're
not alone. The ease of expressing dissatisfaction has only
grown with the accessibility of mobile phones, apps, and
social media, where grievances can be shared at the tap of a
screen. Yet, my goal is to redirect these impulses into
something more productive and spiritually nourishing.

[EPISODE 4] in·ner·child

Remember her?
In case your inner child needs nurturing or forgetting, this conversation between girlfriends will inspire you to get off the couch and act. Teki’s transparent reflection on the importance of looking back, in order to move forward, is just what’s needed to find your own affirmation for resetting.

In·ner child
/ˈinərˌCHīld/
noun
a person's supposed original or true self, especially when concealed by childhood experiences
BOOK EXCERPT
During Lent, instead of the traditional practice of giving
something up, I chose to focus on healing—a personal repair
project of sorts. The subject of this project was my inner
child, who had been quietly calling out to me during moments
of stillness. My approach to reconnect with the younger me
involved daily conversations, powered by affirmations. As a
humorous twist and a minor inconvenience to my husband, I
scribbled these affirmations on our bathroom mirror. Each
morning, I recited seven affirmations.

[EPISODE 3] wor·ry

Winning over Worry
We all do it, but how well and in what ways do we hide it. Renell candidly talks about her own version of hiding and listening to her reveal, made the other girlfriends realize, we have some unique techniques of our own for managing worry.
Host: Shantell Thomas
Featured Contributor: Renell McKinnon
Contributors: Teki Best and Hope Lights
wor·ry
/ˈwərē/
verb
give way to anxiety or unease; allow one's mind to dwell on difficulty or troubles.
BOOK EXCERPT
I worry about everything. I cover it really well using my
coping mechanisms among these strategies, immersing
myself in scriptural passages about worry, which has proven
beneficial. It helps until there’s something new to worry
about.

the process of making or becoming sound or healthy again.
BOOK EXCERPT
Healing from betrayal evolved into a journey of regaining my mental health in the midst of an emotional roller coaster. The first step was the choice to acknowledge my emotions as I seeked support from trusted friends and family, then gradually rebuilding trust in myself and others.

[EPISODE 1] re·set

My Girlfriends & I Did a Thing! 
Join me as I sit down with the co-contributors for a behind-the-scenes peek into the making of our inspiring book. You can listen in and laugh along with our studio audience, as we introduce the world to our reflections from the 40 Day Reset book. 
re·set
/rē set/

This book began as a commitment to set a new behavior during the 40 days of Lent. It was a challenge among girlfriends to journey together as we enhance various facets of our lives. While we have always offered each other support and enthusiasm, this effort was unique, as I felt compelled to document our strides towards improvement.
