Get Lost Life

"I realized my dissatisfaction in my daily life came from lack of FREEDOM. I spent 15+ years allowing others to define what good looked like for Ty. My favorite quote is "Can you remember who you were before the world told you who you should be?"" The reason I love this quote is it resonated with me, because often times we allow our paths to be directed by those with more experience i.e. our Parents/Family and or Mentors/Managers. Although these individuals have good intention we start down a specific path, and before we realize it we are in so deep that we don't know how to get out, but we know that it no longer fulfills us or never has. This episode Quincy and I discuss how we found happiness through harnessing something we already loved. This love is now our business and we are using our LOVE of Travel to help others to improve their overall health & wellness. We believe that Experiences make individuals far happier than Material gratification. We've both lived the life of enjoying material things, and we found that it was just a temporary bandaid to fill a much larger void in our lives. Join us this week and every Thursday!

Many of us celebrated Father's Day this past weekend with the important men in our lives. Anytime I get to celebrate my husband especially in his role as a Father I am happy to do so. For those who don't know I grew up in a single parent household never establishing a relationship with my biological father. Quincy showed me what a Father's LOVE was all about in his role of raising our boys to be the fine men they are today. This weekend while we were out celebrating I started thinking about how I have never been able to celebrate Father's day in the traditional sense of enjoying the holiday with my own Dad, and it got me to thinking about how individuals who have this blessing may sometimes take it for granted. Specifically I was thinking of my own children, as I was telling my son on Sunday how he should not take this for granted as there are many out there who don't have a father in their lives. This episode is about celebrating those Men who are involved in their children's life, but also encouraging those who are not. Although our sisters are out there doing their best to be all things and provide for their children it truly takes a village. Quincy and I reflect on our own upbringings as well as those around us and how we can see the impacts of how being raised either in a dual parent household or single parent household had on our lives.

Do you feel like you are running 100 mph, and not seeing any progress in any areas of your life? Are you stretched thin, but have others depending on you to SHOW up?

What's your recipe for not going crazy and finding time to replenish your cup? Find out what we have to say in this episode "Balancing Act". Buckle up and enjoy the ride!

Have you ever walked in a room and felt like you didn't belong; not because of who you were, but because of your RACE or Color? Did you ever feel like you couldn't win for loosing in both your personal or professional life? If you have ever felt like being BLACK is exhausting then this is the episode you don't want to miss. In episode 9 - The Great Divide we spoke with Karen Maarman from S. Africa who shared a rich history of the S. African culture, some family upbringing & background, as well as the struggles that still exist today. This interview touched us in many ways, and there were several points shared that we thought were worthy of additional discussion. Quincy and I dive deeper into the discussion in Episode 10 - Color Lines, and share the personal and professional struggles that we have both experienced. We also talk about the unconscious biases we all have that are a product of our upbringing; which can be good, bad or indifferent. Enjoy the Ride!
