Thank you all who joined me last week! I am so delighted to have the most dedicated and passionate Clinical Social Worker, Relationship Coach, Licensed Minister of the Gospel and 3x book author of Love Me Right or Not at All, Unfinished Love Stories and 30 Days of Love: Daily Practices for Dating and Marriage as our special guests! One of my funniest and dearest friends, Joseph Snider, LICSW, will share his expertise on this week's topic, "Let's Talk Relationships". Even before the pandemic, relationships have always been that never-ending quest to understand. Well journey no further, Joseph will share tips from his book as we go deeper into understanding the intricacies and simplisticness for cultivating healthy relationships!

As the Holidays vastly approaches; especially Thanksgiving! Many people have found it extremely difficult to combat these quarantine pounds.This week on Forty Minutes 4-U, one of my most inspirational friends, fitness guru and owner of Gym Dorks, will be speaking on the topic, "Contaminated Mindsets". We will explore what are contaminated thoughts, how does it stifle your mental health, and strategies for detoxifying your mind. The guest speaker, Juwon and I facilitated day program groups at a previous mental health agency. He was such an impactful and influential speaker. And possessed the skills to motivate both the clients and staff agency-wide. You don't want to miss this!
