WiseSon’s Podcast

It is often hard for us to choose peace because our minds race with thoughts of what should or will be and what was. We need to breathe and relax, not just physically but mentally, emotionally and spiritually. The fight is not with the world, but self, because we often confuse movement with progress. The lessons and blessings we miss because we are looking for a package rather than the parts, we are looking for finished products rather than opportunities develop and create. Be still, you will see you've always had what you needed. 

This episode is about the power of Blackness, Dawud breaks down how Blackness is all around us, it is powerful and ever present and how the idea of Blackness has been diminished and even seen as negative. Part one of understanding the power and attraction of Black.

Dawud and I discuss and build on the last episode about what it means when we say you are enough. This episode goes a bit deeper to explore why we feel like we need to compete with others. When we say you, that means discovering who YOU are and what that process looks like and that you already have everything you need, life allows us to discover those things through relationships and solitude (learning to be with yourself, not just by yourself).

This episode talks about the tribal thoughts and processes that have led to us not being aware or prepared for the inclusivity of true authentic relationships. This idea that the way we view family, relationships and love is the way everyone should. 

This is for anyone who has ever felt like they were not enough. This is for the person whom someone left, who lost a job or a family member. This is for the parents who struggle to provide for their families but also the ones who seem to have it all. This one is about Knowing you are enough, even when it does not feel like you are. You were born enough and nothing or no one can change that without our permission! 

This was an amazing conversation with 2 men who offer a wealth of knowledge and wisdom. We did get carried away, but this will be a weekly or Biweekly conversation and would love for you to join us. We would also love your comments and feedback. We don't go deep, we just go, these are normal conversations that we have, and we are honest and transparent. If you know someone that needs to hear this pass it on. Not often do you get access to the thoughts and insights of strong men, well here you go! Many other episodes to tap into as well.

Just a real spill about why relationships are sought but so difficult. There is no universal language of relationships because we all have different markers and expectations of what relationships look like. None of our views and expectations will allow us to meet our maximum potential in a vacuum, we need one another, even if we don't want one another.

The act of surrender is a daily process, and it is necessary for our health and well-being. We often push for things and people that the Universe knows we are not ready for and not good for our development. Those things that don't seem fluid and hard to attain are often things we want but don't need. This brings on unnecessary pain and discomfort, which is already embedded in life's journey, we just add more when we don't surrender.

Dawud and I talk about purpose, how and what community really is and how we can create it, and it can also destroy us. We discuss staying open when life makes you want to close and how to focus on what's real and truly us rather than the synthetic substitutes we often fall prey to. It's not only about seeking the truth it's about acting on it once we know. Be brave and be you, and if you don't know who you are, start there.

My son and I talk about fatherhood and some of the challenges we face as fathers. This is a real discussion about what we learn from our kids, challenges with parenting styles and how we handle our emotions and communication.
