Join the Personal Battle Buddy this Monday to talk about the tools and knowledge that Veterans need in order to successfully transition out of the military to civilian life.  Many servicemembers either do not know what to do, how to do it, or when to do it.  They also do not properly utilize the transition programs that are in place to assist in a smooth transition.  This show will also focus on the gaps in the transition process and ways and tips to either narrow the gap or close the gap completely.  If you are transitioning soon...or even if you are not transitioning (eventually you will), this is the show for you.  Make sure you share this will all your Veteran and service member friends that may benefit from this topic.

Are you one of those individuals that is constantly trying to be better, do better, have better?  You are probably always buying personal develpment materials to either read or listen to, or maybe both.  If that is you, you need to listen in today!  We are going to talk about the proper ways to go about personal development so that you are not spending a lot of money and time on things that do not add value!

As always, most of my shows have to do with experiences that I have dealt with.  Recently, I had a close friend who had a situation occur between her and someone that she trusted.  This individual was someone that she looked up to and also felt as if they were a mentor.  This is the very individual that let her down.  How do you recognize these individuals.  What to do to minimize these types of people in your life.  Does it mean you have to get rid of them or can they still serve a purpose?  We will also talk about managing the situation after you recognize these type of people in your life and how you can still come out on top!

Our fur babies mean the world to us and are just like family in most cases...sometimes they mean more than family, lol!  Nevertheless, they are a big responsibility and take time, love and attention in order for them to thrive in the home environment.  Recently we brought home two 8week old King Charles Cavaliers...why on earth did we think having two puppies at the same time as a good idea.  Needless to say, nights have been really short around our house and the days really long.  Listen in to our stories, talk about your own stories and find out the best ways to manage your new environment.

February is Black History month.  As the month begins to move forward...I was recently asked a question of whether or not we are making in strides in expanding the knowledge base on Black History?  Are we better or worse off than we have been in the past?  Do we need to make changes...and, if so, what changes and how can they be made?  With the current state of race relations in our society...is this even a feasible idea?  If you have a perspective...call in and share!

So many groups claim that they are networking when in reality....they are generally just trying to work over the other people in the group.  Are you one of the worked or the workers or are you truly operating in the spirit of what networking is all about?

So many times we give up on our dreams and many times it's because there are people out there in our circles that are convincing you to do so.  Do you have someone (or someones, lol) that are feeding you negative information on why you should give up on those dreams that you've had for so long?  Then it's time to do something about it.  First, you actually have to recognize what these people look like and develp ways on how to deal with them.

Today, join us as we discuss the weekend events and whatever else we come up with on this Manic Monday!

Today we are going to be talking about what it means to pay now for a greater reward later.  Some of us are so caught up on the here and now that we miss the prviliege of the journey and therefore we miss out on what life has to offer.  Our culture and society has been conditioned to look for instant gratification and I will tell you that in most cases...that means stagnation.  When we do not look to the future we can get caught not preparing for it and thus not having one.  Yes, it is important to live for today...but what if tomorrow comes...are you ready!

Have you ever wondered why you keep ending up in the same circumstance?  Why you can never seem to get past a certain point?  The reason could be the circle of friends that you find yourself in.  Often times, your situation or predicament is a direct reflection of the individuals that you surround yourself with.  Find out how changing your circle can begin to change your life.

Since this week is dedicated to going in the archives...I decided to pull one out that was a very popular show.  With the Emmy's airing this week at an all time low even with historical moments, it dawned on me that not only are Black Female actors not really getting the roles they deserved, but there are a lot of Atlanta actors, Black and White, that are not getting substantial roles even though many movies are being filmed here.  Why is that?  Extra roles are plentiful, but when it comes to those principal roles...those are still reserved for Hollywood Actors.  This conversation touched on those very issues.

How does insecurity operate to diminish the strength of the Black relationship?  This insecurity can be sexual, financial, physical (i.e., attractiveness, weight, color).  Where does this insecurity come from and can it be released in order to not only strenghten the relationship but stregthen the way we feel about ourselves and even possibly help to restructure the martial bond. Are you insecure about yourself...about your relationship to the point where it makes you do things like ask for the password to your mates phone, email accounts, etc?  Do you constantly question what your mate is doing or where they are going?  Do you get upset when your mate talks about someone of the opposite sex or looks at them?  If your answer to these questions are yes...then ask yourself why?  We are going to discuss this topic in detail tonight so join in and listen in!

Exhibiting professionalism is a lot more then being in a field that is called a profession.  You can be a lawyer, a doctor, a scientist and still not show an ounce of professionalism.  A hard truth in our community is that we DO NOT show professionalism therefore...we ARE NOT professionals.  Is this true?  How do we change this perception or can we?   I will be providing my own true life experiences on this topic and would love to talk to you about yours or your opinions on this topic.  Tune in and join in!

Should you loan family money or just give it to them?  Should you always be the go to family member when other members are in trouble?  Are you always the one asking for money from your family members when you need help and is it their responsibility to help you.  Do these situations cause a strain on the family relationship and can it even destroy the family.  If you are married...should the spouses family move in due to financial difficulties?  How long should they be able to stay?  How long should your children live with you?  If, they move out, can they come back and for how long?  These are just some of the questions and issues we will be dealing with on this show. A lot of our money issues are things that can be avoided and sometimes we end up enabling our family members to continue to make bad money decisions because we always come to the resuce.  If this is you...don't feel bad or get mad...call in and tell your story and voice your opinion!  The idea is to strengthen the family...not tear it apart and so many times money issues can do just that.  Let's fix it!

According to the Oakland Tribune” In the course of his rise, prosecutors estimate that Ross exported several tons of cocaine nationally, and made more than $600 million in the process.
