There is so much to be said about what is happening in the world today and how it has impacted me as a black mother. So much is changing and there are a lot of conversations about what non black people need to do but I'm turning the tables in this episode. Everyone has work to do right now and the work that I have to do is raising two black girls to be kind, compassionate, confident girls that love themselves.  In today's episode I'm sharing 6 things that I need to be more intentional about so that I'm raising strong, confident and conscious children.  Website: www.bymonicajones.com  Personal Instagram: www.instagram.com/bymonicajones  Podcast Instagram: www.instagram.com/sheisyoupodcast  If you've listened and received some value, then consider supporting me with a donation  Venmo @monica2686 Cashapp $monica2686

Welcome back to season 3!!! I'm so excited for this new season and I'm excited to chat with you all again. It's been a very restful and lovely holiday season and the New Year is starting off with a bang.  I'm sure we are all fully emerged into our New Year's resolutions as am I but the other day I go to thinking about motherhood. I    started to ask myself where are my goals around being a mom? I    had fitness goals, financial goals, personal goals etc. but none for how to improve as a mom.  So after taking some time to reflect I came up with 5 goals I've added to my resolutions that I'm hoping will help me become a better mom.    Website: www.bymonicajones.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/sheisyoupodcast
