Café Convos with K is a gender-neutral podcast where I discuss topics ranging from career, spirituality, relationships, and culture. Basically, everything you would discuss with friends at your favorite café. My goal is for you, the listener to hear a fresh perspective and reflect on your own life journey. I hope that each episode will resonate with the listener and serve as a reminder to keep laughing, keep learning, and keep going. So grab your favorite cup of coffee and join me for a café convo.
I'm back! After a rollercoaster few months, I am so excited to be posting my comeback episode. I have been a mother for all of 2 1/2 months, and it has been beautiful, ugly, and scary all at once. With the combination of emotions, I felt it would be beneficial to record an episode not only updating my listeners, but connecting with my mothers. This episode is very honest and I hope someone comes away with something beneficial.

Life Tip: Stop Hating Girl
Each one of us has come across a hater at least one or twice in our lives. Unfortunately as a woman, that hater was probably another woman. On social media, I am more likely to read hate comments targeted at women from other women. After witnessing this travesty on YouTube earlier this week, I was inspired to address the issue on this week's episode. As a woman who appreciates other women, it would be amazing to see less hate and more genuine support. Next time you feel yourself wanting to say or comment something negative about another woman, ask yourself "am I hating?"

Stop Telling People To Quit Their Job
The debate of entrepreneurship versus 9-5 employment has social media in a chokehold with many agreeing that self-employment is the key to a life of luxury and happiness. Obviously, this is unrealistic and pressures individuals to seek entrepreneurship with the the belief that this is the best option. Instead of chasing entrepreneurship and treating a 9-5 as if it is the lesser option, my take is to chase purpose and create a life that best fits your strengths and passion. On today's episode I dig a bit deeper into the topic while giving a life update yo don't want to miss.

How To Navigate A Job You Dislike
Whew chile! I know that we are all too familiar with waking up and walking into a job that you do not like. I am hyper-aware of my purpose and hold the belief that we should all feel valued and fulfilled within our purpose. Many times we let our dislike for a job cloud the way we think and behave on the job and sometimes it can spill into our personal lives. I have been through desperately hating a job, but due to adult responsibilities, feeling stuck in said job. It took prayer and self-reflection for me to overcome this challenge and start showing up with a new mindset. I'm not saying it's easy or that everyday I show up with a smile, but I do understand. On today's episode, I share me experience and what helped me to slowly navigate the workplace.

My Depression Is Not My Identity
I'm back! Like I never left! Okay everyone, it's vulnerable time. On todays episode, I discuss where I've been at mentally and how I have been dealing with my depression. I give insight into how my self-reflection has aided me with my healing and my way back to me. We all have our own battles and they can become so overwhelming that we began to identify with those emotions. I know all too well what that's like and how easy it is to fall victim to those emotions. With God, I have been on the road to recovery and would love to share with you all.

Navigating The Hard Part of Healing
Healing is one of those things that does not come with a manual, making it difficult for us to navigate those dark moments. We see how others have overcome their struggle and want that ourselves. Well, that comes only after those tough moments have been met and navigated. I discuss my healing journey and how at this very moment, I am still trying to overcome.

The Men vs Modern Women Debate Is Getting Out of Hand
Warning: This episode will contain language associated with suicide and mental health.
On today's episode I cover the tragic lose of Cheslie Kryst, a life gone so soon. After reading comments under a video about the death, I was compelled to record this episode and give my take on the comments written and give insight into how the men versus modern women debate has spiraled out of control in my opinion. As discussed here are some resources for those who can and cannot afford therapy:

How Plus Size Women Are Written In Media
For decades now the media has been writing plus size women as the stereotypical "funny freaky sidekick". We have shows like Moesha, The Proud Family, and the infamous The Parkers that show plus size women in a negative light while profiting off of the caricature of plus size women. Looking at the shows at a young age affected the way I viewed myself and plus size women as a whole. In 2022, not much has changed. On today's episode, I discuss the issues I see on TV and the lack of representation in the media. There are little no shows that depict the fullness of plus size women or show us as more than the sidekick used to prop up the protagonist. I call out some of our favorite old shows and some of our new shows and suggest what could be done to turn this train wreck around.

Do I Miss Sex?
Whenever I tell people I am celibate, the million dollar question is always "do you miss sex"? On today's episode, I answer that question and give insight into why I made this life changing decision. I can not wait for you all to get more answers and learn more about my walk with celibacy, and the ways that I have learned to make it fit my life. This episode is not a PBC episode on not having sex, but an adult conversation centered around my journey. In the episode, I spoke about Yvonne Orji, and an amazing Ted Talk that she did a few years ago. Here is the link promised:

No, I Don't Need You To Check In
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
We all recognize forgiveness as a powerful tool, one that God tells us we should all possess. We forgive those who hurt us, while being conditioned that we must now move forward with this person. On today's episode, I highlight the fallacy that after forgiveness automatically comes engagement with the individual who hurt us. I explore the ways that can be betrayal to feelings and our boundaries.

Is Your City Killing You?
On today's episode, I recap my trip to the TriState area and a revelation along the way. Throughout this country, many of our urban areas are either food deserts or overflowing with fast food establishments that are slowly killing us and causing serious health concerns. I speak on the introduction of fast food to our urban areas and the impact it has caused. I talk about my personal experience with food and the mental impact it has had on me along with others. The article mentioned in today's show can be found at this link:

Saying No To My Dream
Have you ever been close to accomplishing a goal that you can practically touch it? You get so excited and even start telling those closest to you that things are falling into place. Then...you find yourself having to say no. On my first episode I give the listener an inside listen to this trying week. I found myself on the brink of accomplishing my dream, just to say no in the end. It was unexpected and disappointing. I realized that sometimes it's harder to say no than it is to be given a no. If you have found yourself saying no to a dream, then this episode will resonate with you. Enjoy this episode, and remember that it's no the accomplishment that makes you.
