Hello and thank you for joining. In this episode, I discuss the importance of our thought life. You may notice how I continue to repeat some things over and over again. This is intentional. A wise person once told me that repetition is the language of the kingdom and I truly believe that hearing something over and over again allows it to settle. I hope you guys enjoy! --- Send in a voice message:

This episode is a sneak peek at what I'll be working on while I'm on hiatus.  I'm still working out the details but this topic of raising sons is something near and dear to my heart.  I believe God gave me a  heart for boys long before I became a mom and had sons of my own.  I hope you enjoy the excerpt and be sure to stay tuned into the podcast!  If you have any feedback to offer or love the excerpt, please share with me via text @ 1.833.638.5442! --- Send in a voice message:

It's another episode of the Mahogany Moms podcast.  This episode is bittersweet as I will be going on hiatus from the podcast to work on this new thing that God has placed on my heart.  However, I believe He has sent someone that will serve as a great host for the podcast in my absence.  She is a woman of faith, a mom, wife, and the founder of Momma Moves.  This episode is all about who she is, how we met, and how she came to be the new host of the podcast.  I believe Mrs. Laquisha will inspire, motivate, and challenge you to be all that God says you are.  Enjoy! --- Send in a voice message:

This will most likely be your only conversation starter of 2022.  I saddened by so many people committing suicide.  It seems that its happening on a more consistent basis here lately.  I don't have the answer on how to prevent it but I do believe that having someone to be vulnerable could be helpful.  Its interesting to me that so many women have said they don't have a person that they can do that with.  That in and of itself is heartbreaking.  So, I want to encourage you moms to be intentional about finding someone you can be vulnerable with, and then actually laying your feelings and/or emotions bare.  I believe it has the power to transform lives!

On this first podcast in February 2022, we are celebrating love, loving ourselves.  This love includes loving the skin you're in and the clothes you wear.  I talk with Stacy the Survivor, a fashion stylist and blogger, about all things fashion.  She shares with us not only fashion tips but what led her to pursue her passion unabashedly.  Her story serves as a reminder that we only have one life and need to live out our purpose daily.  Stacy discusses the importance of decluttering your closet before filling it up and the necessity of knowing your style.   She says identifying your style is key to not being overwhelmed with dressing yourself.  Stacy states that one way to identify your style is to choose someone's (a celebrity, blogger, etc.) style that you like and want to imitate.  She lets us in on the essential items every mom needs in her wardrobe.  Grab a sheet a paper and take notes!

On the first episode of 2022, we are talking about vaccinating our children.  This episode was a Facebook Live discussion not soon after the vaccine for children 5 -11 years old was released.  There were concerns and questions voiced by parents as to what to do, myself included.  So we asked Dr. Lisa Hardy, public health expert to join us in talking about those concerns from a public health perspective, as well as from that of a mom.  Dr. Hardy discussed the research, the pros and cons of the vaccine, and ultimately what led her to make the decision to get her five year old vaccinated.  If you are on the fence about the vaccine for your child, tune in and share, you may hear something that helps you to decide.

Hi moms, Happy New Year.  There is no episode today but I do have an ASK.  I have created a listener survey to gather more information about what's working and what's not working as far as topics- actually the podcast in general.  I want to know what you all want to hear more of and what you can do without.  If you all would take the survey, I would greatly appreciate it!  The survey takes less than two minutes!   Thank you so much!  Link to survey: @mahoganymomspodcast Website: www.mahoganymomspodcast.com --- Send in a voice message:

Today on our conversation starter we are discussing grace for your assignment.  I heard a sermon by Nona Jones that had me thinking.  As moms, we find ourselves doing all the things, I know I have.  In doing all the things, it is easy to find yourself overwhelmed and overtaxed, so the question I have for you is, has the grace for that assignment been lifted or has the season for that assignment ended. I want to challenge you to get quiet and ask yourself is this task/assignment one that is God given and/or has my season for this assignment lifted. *If you have questions or want to share the results of your actionable step, text me at 1.833.638.5442 Thanks for listening! *Also, if you'd like to receive weekly encouraging messages sent right to your phone, text MOTIVATE to 1.833.638.5442* PODCAST WEBSITE: www.mahoganymomspodcast.com --- Send in a voice message:

This is another one of our favorite episodes from 2020.  On this episode, I talk to a mom who had no interest or desire in motherhood at all.  She made a decision early that she did not want kids and she found a partner who shared the same sentiments.  Let's just be honest, motherhood- parenting is not for everyone and we should celebrate with both women and men who choose not to have children.  Join us as  Crystal shares her story and all the twists and turns that came with her journey into motherhood.  Get ready to be surprised and inspired! If you could use some encouragement throughout the week, text MOTIVATE to 1.833.638.5442 I am looking to start a book club for the mahogany mom podcast listeners, if you are interested, send a text to 1.833.638.5442 and let me know you're in.

On today's conversation starter, we are discussing self-care.  However, it's not the self-care you think or hear most often.  Self-care is taking care of our physical bodies so that we can be physically healthy and mobile to take care of our families.  Moms are nurturers and caretakers, so taking care of others comes easy, but taking care of ourselves not so much.  We often neglect our well woman's exam, mammograms, annual blood work-up, etc for what we deem as more important.  As we close out 2021 and move into 2022, I want moms, myself included to make a commitment to take care of ourselves- our physical bodies.  So, the actionable step is to make a doctor's appointment today!  Great news, we now have a Facebook community for the podcast.  Join us here in the community!
