Shameless Love
What is love really? Is it something we feel, something we do, or something we choose every day? In this episode of Shameless Love, we break love down as both a noun and a verb, exploring its meaning beyond clichés and romantic fantasies. We dive into how love is perceived in today’s society and how cultural perspectives shape the way we express, withhold, and redefine love around the world. I share my honest thoughts on the state of love in modern times—and a powerful story about how a single conversation can change a life forever. Sometimes, it’s not grand gestures that transform us, but the courage to speak from the heart. To close, I leave you with two challenges: one reflective and one action-oriented designed to push you to rethink how you give and receive love, and maybe even change the way you show up in your relationships. Because love isn’t just something we talk about. It’s something we practice...shamelessly.

Shameless Masculine Energy
In this episode of Authentic Shameless Self, we’re diving into the deep waters of masculine energy—through the lens of single motherhood. For years, I carried the belief that as a woman, I couldn’t teach my son how to be a man. But over time, that mindset shifted. I realized I didn’t need to teach him masculinity—I needed to teach him how to be a good, grounded human being. This episode is broken down into four honest and impactful segments: 1. Facts First (The Foundation) We begin with a breakdown of what masculine energy truly is—beyond gender roles. I explore the traits often associated with masculine energy (like structure, discipline, and assertiveness), the psychological roots of these traits, and how both men and women embody them in different ways. This sets the stage with clarity and context. 2. My Take (Personal Perspective) I share my personal opinion on how society has misunderstood masculine energy—especially when it comes to parenting as a single mother. We unpack the pressure to “make a man out of your son” and what that really means when you step back from the noise and trust your instincts. 3. Storytime (The Real Moment) This is where I get personal. I talk about the moment I sat with the thought, “I can’t teach my son to be a man,” and how that belief made me feel like I was falling short. I walk you through how I reframed that narrative, and the freedom that came with realizing my job is to raise a good human being, not perform both masculine and feminine roles. 4. The Challenge (Your Turn) I leave you with a thought-provoking challenge: Reflect on the traits you're modeling—regardless of gender. What kind of human are you raising, mentoring, or becoming? Are you leading with balance, or are you stuck in outdated expectations? 🎧 Tune in, reflect deeply, and walk away feeling grounded in your truth—no matter what role you're playing in someone else's life but especially in your own! Stay Shameless! Stay authentic!

Shameless Healing
I have seen healing become a trending topic and thing that everyone should do to overcome their life and even past life trauma but what is healing and how do we do it? There is no cookie-cutter way to know for sure when someone is healed, but I am hoping having the conversation with your loved ones, and more importantly with yourself helps you identify what is within you emotionally, and/or mentally that requires some tender loving care, in order for you to show up as the best, most authentic shameless self you can be!Connect with me on;IG: @dayjamonaTiktok: @dayjamonaThe book mentioned during episode: 101 Essays That Will Change The Way You Think by Brianna Weist Sources mentioned:National Library of Medicine: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1466870/ (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1466870/)Oxford Language Dictionary: Search Terms - Heal, Healing

Shameless Divorce
Hey everyone!!! We talked a bit about marriage in episode eight, now let us discuss the unfortunate life experience of divorce. It is something hopefully many people will never have to experience but the emotions that occur during a divorce have very little difference to a romantic relationship ending (just a lot more paperwork and money involved)! So I want to get a little personal with you all and share my thoughts on divorce, my own experiences, and of course some facts! As usual, I leave you all with a challenge at the end of the episode to start a conversation with a loved one in your own life! So be sure to listen to the entire episode and complete the challenge!
