In this episode of Abundant Behavior, I sat down with conversations with the culture to discuss two parent homes v.s one parent homes. We discussed our different upbringings ,and also our perspective on the different family dynamics we were raised in. One of the most important key points we hit was, no matter what family you were born into that does not dictate your individual success as a person. The way you were raised may affect interpersonal relationships you may have, but it's up to you to acknowledge that trauma ,and heal from it.https://linktr.ee/therealolliebanks

Words from L.H

-Never play down to the competition: Don't let any obstacle in front of you stop you from reaching the next level of success. 

-Never change who you are to appease others. Stay true to yourself, and stay true to your craft.

-My music is timeless.  You can go back 3-4 years ,and the music I made still has relevance in today's time.

Words from Que: 

Always prep your meals to remain consistent, but to also help you refrain from having cheat meals. 

God gives us all the same 24hours, its up to you to utilize those hours to your best ability.

Having stern parents who will push you into an uncomfortable direction can ultimately change your life for the better, if you see the bigger picture and greater reward.

In this episode of Abundant Behavior, I got the chance to sit down my good friend Ashton. We discussed goal setting, and the ups and downs of 2023. He talked about losing his step father and having to start over from ground zero. He expressed that during those trying times is when his faith in God grew the most. Ashton expressed that everything that happen in his life he wouldn't change, he says everything happens how its supposed to.https://linktr.ee/therealolliebanks

Make your own dynamic that fits your relationship, don't fall into the trends of social media 

We need more empathy in relationships, but don't feel obligated to stick around until your partner gets themselves together! That shadow work is for them to do on their own, you can't change someone who doesn't want to change.

In the black community, we need to stop battling our oppressions, we are all oppressed equally. If we come together, we will see true change !

Thank you for tuning in

In this episode of Abundant Behavior, I had the amazing opportunity to sit down with my brother/mentor Steven Hickman to talk about mens healing. Steven touched on many topics that are hard for most people to talk about. He shared with us how he healed after divorce, how he dealt with the death of his mother at a young age, and he also shared many ways men can use to actively work towards healing everyday. #menshealing #mensmentalhealth #alonetime #growthhttps://linktr.ee/therealolliebanks

Words from La'Ambria 

La'Ambria explained that whenever she has a goal, she’s all in or all out. Even being a brand new woman in the gym, she didn’t let the environment of the gym or the people stop her from reaching her goal !!

La'Ambria said her fitness journey started because she was dissatisfied with the person she saw in the mirror. She wanted to change ,and fitness gave her an outlet to not only work towards getting her physical appearance in tact, but her mental most importantly…

La'Ambria said her coming from a small town, gave her an edge most people from big cities don’t have! Coming from such a small place gave her drive ,and work ethic she still has today. With her city being so small, she says it gave her a BIG vision to always want more !

He also said most people scroll all day, and start to subconsciously place expectations of social media on everyday people.

In this episode of abundant behavior, I interviewed my good friend Maravilha. She shared her passion for cooking and her passion for the craft. Maravilha says due to the separation of her parents, she ended up homeless. During that time, she says all she could think about was the pain she felt from seeing so many women go hungry. Maravilha grew a deep desire to cook and bridge the gap between poverty, and serving the community with a nutritious meal. #adversities #chef #poverty #family #podcasthttps://linktr.ee/therealolliebanks
