Change Gonna Come (Ep. 005)

The only constant in life is change, and I’ve been making some changes in my life recently. I won’t say that I have a new outlook on life, but I do have more clarity. In the last episode I talked about my struggle to “protect my peace” in relationships with people. Moving to a new location is something that is helping me to protect my peace as I’m getting acclimated to this new phase in my life.  Unbeknownst to my brother, I’m setting up an interview for one of the shows. I want to give him a platform to share more about himself and to share about some of the changes in his life. I am also really excited to touch base with him about my work on these various projects. He has been one of my strongest supporters and a really good sounding board, so I know he’ll be happy to hear that I’m back on my grind. I’m getting back to business, but there are also some new things on the horizon. I’ll be trying out some different styles of content in the future, so stay tuned. If you don’t already have my social media locked in, do me a favor and prioritize: Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok. The name is the same on all of them: @xinyafacedotcom.  #RiseAndLove #TreSeis #ProtectYourPeace #MentalHealthIsWealth

Vegan Gang or Don’t Bang (Ep. 004)

Sorry for the delay in getting this episode out, family. I’ve been adjusting to some changes in my life (more about that on the next episode), so I definitely put this and other projects aside. But, I’M BACK BABY! It’s #VeganGangOrDontBang around here ya’ll! Lol, I’m just playing. On this episode of the podcast, I put folks on to a nearby donut shop with vegan options; I share about my path to becoming vegan; and I give some encouragement for folks who are trying to make changes to their diet and/or wellness. As you’ve come to expect, the stream-of-consciousness style is still present and I’m putting it out there unfiltered. If you don’t already have my social media locked in do me a favor and prioritize: Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok.

Are Your Needs Being Met? (Ep. 003)

I've been going through some ups and downs lately. I went from having one of the most amazing birthday celebrations ever to having some really serious interpersonal challenges. In the midst of those challenges, I've also been fortunate enough to have people in my corner giving me love and reminding me to love myself. In this episode I'm sharing some of my reflections, and what I'm working on in my life. I hope that you can take something positive from engaging with me. If you don’t already have my social media locked in, do me a favor and prioritize: Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok.
