The Good Girl Podcast

What exactly is a bad bitch? Colloquially it’s a woman who is remarkably exceptional in every area of her life. She excels in the workplace, manages her home, is sexually appealing, and is revered in social circles for hard work ethic and accomplishments. I heard the phrase used to acknowledge the “greatness,” the prowess, the amazing conquering abilities of women of all types of walks of life from the hood to the White House. So how could a word that is used to uplift be so damaging? Because it

For the most part, we agree that in order to lose weight the equation is simple: Eat right & exercise - consistently. Now this is barring any type of medical conditions that can prohibit weight loss - like perhaps a thyroid issue. But one important factor that many doctors, experts, or even women who have reached the goals of healthy lifestyle have failed to address, is an emotional wound that is often tied to the weight gain. Thus the weight loss is ultimately tied emotional healing . This week on Good Gi

Oh how we love the Facebook pictures of expecting couples! Everything from the extra pair of too cute booties to the first born wearing a "I'm going to be a big brother or sister" shirt or the classic man holds wife bare belly pic...but how much work really went into making that baby? Much to my dismay... A LOT! The mere fact that you are if reading this, is a miracle. Dr. Carole Kowalczyk of The Michigan Center for Fertility & Women's Health says there is only a 15% chance per month that a woman will get p

Being married to a man in the public's eye has its fair share of challenges. Challenges that some couples handle gracefully and others struggle until they find a sweet spot. But just as difficult and unique as those challenges may be, they can also produce a relationship so deep and so connected extraordinary love that only the heavens could separate the couple. In Part I of Extraordinary Love Dr. Sephira Shuttlesworth shares some of those very details of her self-described extraordinary love to the late ci

There are very few people who intimidate me. Situations have intimidated me. Speaking engagements, without a doubt, have provided a healthy dose of intimidation. And definitely, career opportunities have knocked some fear in my nary hips. But people? nahhh. But oh contrar! During this show, that all changed. I've learned that people are people with a common need of love and God (one in the same). But when I met Dr. Sephira Shuttlesworth, my spirit was quieted, almost silenced, and I simply had no words

I finally got to the point of describing the men's perspective as sexist. Straight up, no chaser...sexist. This only came after barely scratching the surface in Part 1 of this conversation on double standards. I wanted to confront why two men where adamantly defending a non productive societal lie that's destructive to relationships and humans in general - double standards. Specifically in this context it's whe idea of not allowing a woman the freedom to error and be human but rather holding her to the mist

Have you ever had that one friend that responded to a conversation with a comment that was so egregious comment about double standards you had go into prayer? Or the comment concerned you so much that paused and politely asked for clarification. And even after the clarification you chuckled, stopped, and said, "You're not serious, are you?" We'll that's how this conversation began. On a Saturday night, over garlic & BBQ chicken wings and a bean burger with four single folk at a table - two guys and two

On Part II of "I'm friends with the other woman" Keesha shares her remarkable story of becoming friends with the woman whom her husband had an affair with. In this conversation we learn the real raw process of forgiveness. Keesha details some of the contents of a letter the other woman wrote to her. Much to the dismay of many, Keesha says the letter was essential to the healing process. But before the healing began, many other characteristics rightfully reared their ugly head publicly - anger, frustration

Forgiveness can be one of thee most difficult things to do in life. It is lauded by many as the way to go or the righteous and noble task to undertake. But what happens when the offense is especially egregious or heinous? What happens when a scared bond is broken or covenant is shattered? Is forgiveness still warranted? Is the offended still required to take on the arduous and emotional lamenting process of forgiveness (yes it's a process)? We'll just imagine for a moment that your spouse cheated and for so

In the final part of the 3-part series "He cheated. She stayed. Deeper in love, " I asked the couple a very straightforward question - how did cheating make their relationship better? Their answer was just as straightforward. They said, "we dropped the facade." In the conversation we learned that couple kept up a continuous facade to their family & friends that their marriage perfect but the fictitious smiles and gazes of love only added to their problems. The husband, DeMadison, was also forced to face

Usually cheating is the "out" for couples who make a vow & commitment to love until death do you part. Cheating is thee ultimate deal-breaker in the commitment and covenant both individuals gave before family, friends, and God. Cheating is the one thing that even the bible says "you are free to go." And obviously we are paraphrasing here. But for one couple, ending the marriage wasn't an option. In part 2 of "He cheated. She stayed. Deeper in Love." Keesha Fife explains why she decided to stay. In the v

When two people make a conscious decision to be in a committed monogamous relationship, that commitment is grounded in the belief that the relationship grows and is sustained because the spiritual, emotional, and physical intimacy. Therefore when that intimacy is breached, trust is broken, and the relationship suffers. That's why for the majority of couples , cheating is the deal breaker. Whether it's emotional or physical it's that one rule you simply don't break. This week we decided to resurrect this ol
