Hi y'all! We made it to the end of the season! In today's very special episode, I asked a number of people to share 2 to 3 things that they are grateful for. Obviously, some had a lot more to share than others, LOL. But I am so happy about this project. It is important to reflect and appreciate the good in our lives, especially with everything going on around the world right now. I absolutely loved listening to this episode and I hope you do to! May this be an inspiration to everyone one of you, to look back at the year and be thankful for the little things, the big things and everything thing in between. Thank you for supporting us. I love y'all! HAPPY HOLIDAYS! See you in 2024. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/baringsouls/message

Hi y'all! I am back with another Solo episode! I love Solos because I get to create a guests in my mind and drive the conversation with different people at the same time. LOL Anywho, this week, I wanted to delve into the fear of failure and success. We often find ourselves afraid to do great things, not only because we are scared to fail, we are scared to experience success and then lose it, so we'd rather stay in our comfort zones and not take the risk. This is definitely a discussion I will have in the future with a guest. I hope you enjoy this episode! Don't forget to leave feedback!

WEEK 10! WE MADE IT!! 10 Beautiful weeks of having some of my family bare their souls! I decided to switch it up a little, and bring you a new voice since you all said we sound the same. LOL! This week, Cindy is delighted to welcome Joan, a friend of the family, to join the conversation. Together, they delve into the profound topic of the immigrant experience, delving into how relocating can significantly impact one's mental well-being, irrespective of the age at which the move occurs. Navigating these intricate challenges within the context of a new country forms a key focal point of their discussion. During the episode, the two had the privilege of extending their wisdom to a young lady grappling with the complexities of a toxic work environment. A particularly impactful moment arose when Joan, an inspiring black woman who has shattered the glass ceiling in her own right, generously shared her insights and counsel. Her perspective provided a powerful beacon of guidance for those facing similar hurdles. We trust that this episode will resonate deeply with our listeners, offering both enlightening insights and practical advice for anyone wrestling with the multifaceted dynamics of relocation, mental well-being, and triumphing over professional adversity.
