Conversations with Toi

Happy Friday. Today we talk about breaking up with a friend. If you ever had to break up with a friend you know how extremely hard it can be. The ups and downs. The second guessing yourself and maybe even some gaslighting................Your friend may be in denial and even drop the times they were in your corner when no one else was. Both being supportive at one time and then dropping the ball can be real at the same time. You are allowed to change and evolve as a person and have different needs..................What are steps for breaking up with a friend? Ignore them? Engage them? Ignore your own feelings until you blow up?...................Have you ever had a restaurant mess up a meal that you love?

Motherhood is beautiful but it's also a lot of work. From the struggle of this fake bounce back and more many women are in a tired loop of getting back to the she-that once was........What if instead of what was-we see ourselves in a new light. What if we made the journey into putting ourselves as a priority. This is a journey that goes well beyond a 12 week time to have sex mindset after a baby.....A journey into what being a mom is while being a woman gets complicated but we talk about it, postpartum depression, single moms, and what are these partners we love to hold on so dear, role in Getting Back to She.......Join in the conversation because it's deep, prayerful, disheartneing, and frustrating at the same timeFollow me on social media as Toitimeblog and on the blog as Toitime

Happy Friday and welcome to a new episode of Conversations with Toi. Today we talk about Consistency is key. We all know that but in a world where popularity seem to win, it's important to remember that consistency will take you places that popularity can't sustain.......Mean Girls-I had another episode with another mean girl during this week's events. It gets easier as times goes by. For those who have ever met someone online who seems to be about empowering and when you meet them in real life and it don't match-acknowledge it. Understand everyone aren't' who they are. If you encounter them more than one like that-believe them. Believe that they are really mean spirited regardless if it "meant" that way or not.......The response in the Uvalde shooting has been trash. The police were sworn to serve and protect and the newest revealed videos are giving coward energy. Prayers continuously to the families and friends affected by this tragedy. .......Elon Musk dad, Errol had a baby with his step dad. I am a stepdaughter and ain't no way I am sleeping with my dad. It don't matter if its blood or not its gross and wrong. ....Show up for yourself daily. Acknowledge when you need to take a step back to gather yourself but show up. Be consistent and make sure that you don't let the cares of the world take you so far down that you fall out the game.Follow me on social media as Toitimeblog and the blog itself.

Happy 1st of July. As we start a new month sometimes all we focus on are the goals but not the plan. We need a plan of action in order to make life happen in real time. No more goal setting without a plan. How do we simplify a plan? We talk about it on the show.Internet stories: is the "baby" mom who told her "baby" daddy that he had to bring food for her other kids who aren't his right or wrong? Could it be a hoax/skit? I do a little digging 4th of July weekend is upon us. Whether you celebrate with family, friends, or by yourself stay safe.

You ever said or heard someone say "that's just me take it or leave it?" Or "that's just how I am!" These are phrases that we say when we want others to accept our bad behavior or unwilling to change something. As we grow and mature we understand that our bad attributes (we all have them) are not going to be acceptable by all. Change that's the way I am with, I'm willing to work on that or willing to look into that. This is a pivotal change that will help you to do some soul searching. We all have been there on things we are unwilling to change....For those who are parents we know that kids will do what they eventually want to do but we have to get to the basics of respect.

We are a society that looks for the next biggest thing that we forget that your purpose has to be greater than just these fleeting moments..........................In today's episode we talk about my visit to Kale my Name and Tabitha Brown. She is doing something with purpose with her viral moment. Instead of chasing moments she did the work, worked hard, and has purpose that is beyond her.

It's annoying right. You can have all of the resources in the world or none at all and we all experience the different stages of burnout in various ways.We may not know or understand the ramifications that we all go through but it doesn't things in life any easier.We have Holly Penney. She is a mom, finance enthusiast, speaker, writer, self-love advocate, 4-time ovum donor, travel addict, minimalist and lover of all things chocolate. Experiencing childhood trauma and then as an adult, Holly began to realize there were negative patterns in her life. One day, as she calls it a "low point," she decided to take matters into her own hands and dive deep into personal development. This was the beginning of her healing journey. Growing self-awareness, Holly came to realize that for the first 30 years of her life, she didn't know the meaning of self-care. After attending a retreat in 2019, Holly fell in love with herself and found a passion for journaling. Since 2019 she has made a commitment to prioritize self-care. Whether that's going for a run, taking a long hot bath or journaling. Holly started a successful professional bookkeeping firm (NovaRidge Bookkeeping Ltd.). Being able to support people was another passion of hers. Holly decided to make it her mission to support them anyway she could. She began creating a journal (launching June 2022) in hopes of inspiring women to fall in love with themselves. In 2021, Holly launched a book club called As The Page Turns, creating a safe space for like-minded women to talk about personal growth. She continues to share her story by speaking and writing. Holly is dedicated to supporting women on their self-love journeys by creating community through her workshops, retreats and journaling. Her new website will launch in May 2022.Also as we start the weekend I want to challenge everyone to do something for themselves. Challenge yourself to do something that fills your personal. Fill your cup first so you can help others.

Dj Envy and his Wife Gia are making headlines with their upcoming book. Gia talks about 10 years of faking an orgasm. That to me sounds like a loss of energy and passion for 10 years. Their marriage is their marriage but ladies this is not it. Married to on man for the rest of your life you will go through challenges and changes in your life. This is why the man or woman you marry isn't the same one during the phases of your marriage.Do not think this is normal to do. There needs to be a line of communication that is given. You do not need to stroke your partner's ego (no pun intended)We also discuss self care and the ways in which we can let that NO be a full sentence. I am changing some ways in how I pull back. I also mention that this week on the blog. What are ways that you are showing up? Are you taking care of you?

Are we more mad at the messenger than the message?Mental Health/Wellness check in-are you consistent in your self check? Are you doing the things that bring you joy even when you have to do them alone. Solo trips? Planning a vacation? Carving time for yourself?Friend check-do you support your friends for real?

Today we have guest host Steve Taylor. If you have ever thought about going into business this is your episode. Also you know we drop nuggets no matter the topic. If the woman on TikTok can sell sunflower seed soup-yup just like I said it you are sitting on your talents and gifts.Steve Taylor is a former Navy Lieutenant and Naval Academy graduate who proudly served afloat and ashore for seven years following graduation.Upon completion of his military service, Steve began a career in high tech and consumer electronics. While enjoying a healthy career, he began to look into franchising and small business ownership as a way to insulate himself from the vagaries of technology and large business. He purchased his first franchise during the ‘great recession, eventually building it into one of the top units in a large system, selling a majority interest in 2019Realizing his passion and interests were evaluating and exploring the vast opportunities in franchising and then sharing this knowledge, Steve joined the FCC team as a partner. He genuinely enjoys “evangelizing” the American Dream as embodied in Franchise and Small Business Ownership while helping clients both visualize and realize a better quality of life. As a franchise consultant, Steve is dedicated to providing his clients with the most thorough and honest guidance possible.Steve lives in Pleasanton, California with his wife with their three children (including twins). In his spare time, Steve enjoys cooking, skiing with his kids and traveling throughout the state and beyond. Steve Taylor's Personal Statement: I absolutely believe that the best way to transform our communities and ultimately, our country is by identifying, enabling, and creating a new class of business owners. In some ways, the franchise model and military veterans are purpose-made for each other. On one hand, you have a model that comes with a ready-made template for success - on the other, you have a group of people that know how to follow a process, persevere through adversity, and seize opportunities while remaining creative and focused. My passion is to identify opportunities and resources and match them with veterans and others that have a desire to change the trajectory of their lives and their communities while achieving something out of the ordinary for themselves and their families.
