Love and Lust with Arrettres Hollins

We are in for a real treat this week!  As we continue with the topic at hand: Love and Lust, we are able to get a viewpoint on the matter from another esteemed guest.  Mr. David Taylor is a licensed mental health counselor, online marriage coach, author, podcast host, and business owner.  Together with his wife of 13 years, he counsels couples on his platform, Mastering  Marriage. 

In this episode, we get a glimpse of the in-depth scope of love and relationships that Mr. Taylor has personal and professional expertise in.  Listen in as our host and special guest dive deep into breaking down Eros and how it differs from the other types of love.  Piggybacking off an earlier podcast episode that Mr. Taylor led on his platform that dealt with pornography, we have a real conversation about what lust alone can do to an individual and to a partnership.

 You won’t want to miss this episode as we are blessed with hearing from a relationship professional who is not afraid to share his own personal experiences on love and lust and how they have affected his life.  Get ready to take all the notes on this one!

On this week’s episode of the Girl GOAT we focus on relationships and what true intimacy entails. When we hear the word “intimacy” we automatically correlate it with the sexual components of a romantic bond. While sex is an
essential part of a union, the foundation should not be based on that alone. 

Together with our very special guests, relationship experts: Mrs. Carol Ann, Mrs. Monica, and Dr. Kia James, we break down the essentials of a healthy relationship and what really should be binding us together with our significant other. If sex was out of the equation, what would tie the two of you together? Is the sexual connection that you have the only thing that is keeping you there?

These are all very important questions that are addressed in this week’s episode. Maybe you
have been wondering if your relationship with your boo is based on just sexual chemistry. Maybe you are in a marriage that is lacking the lust that you once had with your spouse. Or maybe you are single and want to be proactive of what to look for in a union and what to make sure you have enough of.  Whatever your situation, you don’t want to miss this one. There are some nuggets in there for  everyone!

Season Two of the Girl G.O.A.T. podcast starts off with a real, unadulterated discussion about love and lust and the position that they play in our most intimate relationships. 

On this episode, we discuss the differences between the two and how they affect us, interpersonally.  Our guest speaker, Shauntay, is a relationship expert, author of Diving in Stilettos First, a filmmaker, and the host of the “Her  View” podcast.  She brings her expertise on the 5 Love Languages and relationships to help us identify the presence of both the true essence of real love and the surface-skimming façade of lust.  In our romantic relationships, we often confuse the two.  We become ingulfed in the feeling of a temporary high, that we misunderstand it as love.  But we must recognize the differences so that we can have the fulfillment that we desire in the long run.

Get your notebooks and pens ready!  Season 2 of Girl G.O.A.T. is one that you do not want to miss!

Understanding our true values, as individuals, is something that is often difficult to do.  Oftentimes our past hurts and struggles serve as a pivot toward how we view ourselves and drive home the critical nature of how society views us.  This is especially true for black women.  We are constantly told that we are too much and, even more often, we are told that we are simply not enough.  With that level of confusion circulating around us, it's no wonder that so many of us have feelings of inadequacy and insecurities.  We navigate through life with a false sense of who we are and a diminished feeling of power.   Of the many different populations in this country, Black women deal with the effects of that projection of decreased power and purpose at a much more alarming rate than other groups. 

As the late Malcolm X stated, “The most disrespected person in America is the Black woman."  Well, we can add, most misunderstood, most underappreciated, most undervalued, and most overlooked.  These stigmas that exist in our society have crept into the hearts and minds of black women and have held us back from realizing and reaching our full potential. 
 
Today’s episode is geared toward exploring the nagging question of “Am I enough?”.  Our special guest, Mr. Trey Carrion, brings a unique perspective, rooted in psychological and holistic aspects.  The clarity that is established during this episode is a breath of fresh air as we focus on the detriments of not understand and believing that we are enough.  Consequently, we learn that we must first adjust our thinking in order to adjust our crowns.

Keeping it real is a phrase that we often use to describe how true we are to ourselves and to others.  We use it to express just how “real” we are being at the time.  However, we have to ask ourselves:  Are we REALLY living up to that phrase?  Transparency is something that is difficult for many of us.  We often hide behind the facades that we create to present the best version of ourselves to the outside world.  What we don’t realize is that we are only lying to ourselves.  There is so much fear in being transparent because it requires vulnerability.  That vulnerability is deeply rooted in being true to yourself about the correlations between your past and the present.  It is about being open to understanding our actions and thought processes and how are impactful that is to ourselves and the relationships we have with other people.  But why is it so difficult for us to take off our masks and shed our many protective layers?   What is it about our core that makes us want to hide ourselves?

In this episode of Girl G.O.A.T., we are joined with Bree Williams, creator of Vibes of a Queen, as we analyze the importance of transparency and the effects that it has on our personal development and growth.  This episode is filled with authenticity, truth, and wisdom as we discern the ways that something that is viewed as weakness is actually rooted in strength.

 “Friends! How many of us have them?!” (cue the Whodini classic). This episode of Girl G.O.A.T. dives deep into the intricate nature of true friendship.  In the unique relationships that women build with one another, comes a level of devotion and love that often withstand different phases of life.  Most of us can say that we have a least one person with who we have built a “sistership”; someone who is more like family than a friend.  When you have someone in your life who you can be completely vulnerable with, someone you can depend on when you need it the most, and someone who pushes you to excel to heights you didn’t know you could reach,  keep them around! 

In today’s episode, we get an up-close and personal glimpse of what true friendships look like. Our host and two of her closest friends, Latunya Stafford and Erica Shoto, share with us the depth of their sisterhood and how they continue to grow together over the years. As we know, relationships can be fickle, falling by the wayside with life’s uncertainties. Yet, we learn that when you have the right people in your corner mixed with positive energy and love, the indestructible bonds we form can certainly stand the test of time.

Over the years, society has pushed its ideals of what marriage looks like onto us.  Subconsciously, we have accepted some of today’s norms in our own standards.  However, God calls us to live our lives by a different code of ethics.  This is especially true in the promise that we make to Him and our spouse.  In order to have a true Godly marriage, the two must live together in unison, in thought and deed.
 In this episode of Girl GOAT, we explore the foundation of marriage and the aspects of the union that need constant attention.  Our special guests, Mr. Roosevelt and Debra Winters share the wisdom that they have gained over their 27 years of marriage.  The nuggets that are shared in this episode are definitely tools for harmony in a union that is not always so easy.  Whether you are married or aspire to be in the future, this episode is sure to give you some things to reflect on as you move FORWARD with your significant other.
