#championsofdiscourse #takeupspacepod #ultimatim

What would you do if the person you're dating gives you an ultimatum on the 3rd date? Is it easy for you to leave jobs or relationships that don't serve you?

Leah and Jason discuss the harms of making decisions from a scarcity mindset. Sometimes we hold on so tight to what we have, we assume that things will never get better than 'this'. There's always going to be something on the horizon. You just have to let it go to get there.

#championsofdiscourse #takeupspacepod #whoiszordon

Leah and Jason discuss the benefits of having a network of people who are knowledgeable in various fields of study. We know what we know and that's all we know. However, if we connect with different people in an array of fields, our connection to knowledge would be far greater than the "research" we'd do on our own. Also, what is Zordon's backstory? How come he can't fight? Why did he need teenagers with attitude?

Jason and Leah discuss what it takes to be successful and how hyper independence can hinder that success. We'd love to hear from you! How do you define independence? What steps do you take to establish and maintain support for yourself?

Jason and Leah start the episode talking about the common color-coded tropes in movies within the Black community. Then they discuss the impacts of transactional relationships and how quickly it can escalate into manipulative relationships. People are not commodities that appreciate and depreciate with time or life events. The idea of a high-value person also leans the other way. Value is so subjective and should not be the sole barometer used to identify a partner.

#championsofdiscourse #takeupspacepod #careerdevelopment

Leah was offered an opportunity to expand her business and growth her skillset. And it's caused her to take a pause for the cause to evaluate how she sees her skills, worth, work ethic and the perception of these things from others. Where are you in your career? How many times have you been open to career development opportunities? Do you know where to look? Do you have a mentor?

We'd love to hear your story!

Jason (JJ Newberry) joins Leah to talk about embracing her new journey in Seattle. If there's anything this global situation has taught us, it's that life is too short to wait for the perfect time. Leah took a leap to achieve a dream seven years in the making and she finally feels like she's made it home.
