On today's episode, Dr. Tameka LaShonn join me, and we covered EVERYTHING. From navigating life's biggest transitions to rebuilding the village, to parenting with vulnerability—this is THE conversation you need to hear right now. She's a doctor of psychology, life coach, and someone who's been CALLED to help people navigate life's change with Grace and Authenticity.
Here's what we're diving into: Life isn't an elevator where you finally "arrive." It's a roller coaster with hills and valleys—and the goal is learning to find the POCKETS OF JOY even when you're going through it. Dr. Tam shared how a moment on Clubhouse during quarantine turned into "Therapy Thursdays," which became her full coaching practice. But here's the real thing—she reminds us that your support system changes EVERYTHING. The company you keep determines your perspective. Period.
We talked about empty nests, career transitions, parenting kids in the social media era, and rebuilding community the way our grandparents knew how. She broke down vulnerable parenting—apologizing when you mess up, admitting you don't have all the answers, treating your kids like developing tribe members instead of subjects you control. This is the kind of wisdom that transforms families.
And fam, we went THERE on why we fight ourselves. Why we know the answer but don't take it. Why we know where to find things that make us feel worse but struggle to find support. Dr. Tam is on a mission to change that—to be visible, accessible, and practical in how she helps people. This episode is proof that when you show up authentically, God opens doors you never expected.
