About Yemoja Speaks

Hey, my name is Shalonda, your host. This podcast is about foster care and our experiences growing up in custody. We want to highlight success stories to give the next generation tips on how they can survive foster care and thrive after. I share my experience and advice for what I did and didn't do while giving the lessons that I learned. I look forward to interviewing foster youth, foster parents, caseworkers, and biological families to understand the full story so we all can understand how to work together to create a better system.

   Relationship with self

   I have a hard time developing a relationship with myself becauee I care deeply about the relationships with others. I prioritize the emotions and actions of others as I hide my emotional struggles. However, developing a relationship with myself has become the most important thing to me. Let’s talk about the setback we have by prioritizing others over ourselves. If you like this podcast topic let me know. Leave a comment and share what you are doing to deepen the relationship with yourself. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/yemojaspeaks/support (https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/yemojaspeaks/support)
