    Who Told You Grinding Was A Bad Word

    Who Told You Grinding Was A Bad Word
    On this episode, I revisit the word grinding and what it actually means to me and what it can mean to you. ______From battling psychosis and depression to managing Bipolar I Disorder and PTDS, I fought like hell to get here.  As life challenged me over and over again, I was pushed to find creative and innovative ways live in my purpose on purpose and surpass my goals. For over 18 years, I have committed my life to supporting others on their journey. My passion to help others become their truest self has allowed me to speak on various national platforms to engage hearts and empower minds. My goal is simple…. To assist you in aligning with the greater you. We might not have the same path, but we all desire to experience the greatness inside us.  Let’s get this done together.  ~Laqwanda Visit www.Laqwanda.com for articles, speaker requests, or for show guest inquiries.Laqwanda Roberts-Buckley is the Founder of Healing Black Women which serves as a safe space designed to encourage and promote all forms of wellness/healing for black women.
