Welcome to another edition of Soul Stories on Brazen Radio fam. So happy to have ya'll here. Today we sit down with Connie.This human and her entire family was led on a wild life goose chase by her father who always wanted a better life. At age 11, a better life for her family was immigrating to the Portuguese colonies of Africa. Though they arrived in 73’ it wasn’t long until the revolution from Socialism to Democracy in Portugal happened, and quickly after came the independence of Angola Mozambique, Cape Verde, Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Equatorial Guinea, Senegal and Sao Tome & Principe. This was all good until they began fighting again, but now, amongst themselves.While this all unfurled Connie and her family lived there, and as it got worse, so did the risk of every day tasks like sleeping, getting food, supplies, and travelling. This episode is her experience and I was rather astonished tbh. Absolute rock solid human, bonus she’s a woman. Her story and that of her family is unlike anything I’ve ever heard. And that’s why Soul Stories exist in the first place. So my friends, please enjoy today's episode with Connie. <3If you have a soul story or know someone who does - please reach out or make the connection brazenradio@gmail.com https://www.instagram.com/thebrazenradio/

Special Thanks To Connie, Broke for Free and Niese

Welcome Back To Brazen Radio.

Its that time of month again where we kick off something new in the world of breathing. This is the box breath technique. Also referred to as square breath. It's simple and effective. 4 Count in, 4 hold, 4 out, 4 hold, repeat. It reduces stress, calms and focuses the mind. It's even built into the training for the seals.

Join us over the next 30 days in box breathing.

Join me in building better habits. <3

As always, the lines of communication are open.

Love ya'll.

Happy Breathing.

Welcome to Brazen Radios First Critical Corner Conversation.

Joining us for this convo is my friend Toni <3 Ya'll remember her right? Lungs of steel? Well we decided to have a walk about, a test run for Critical Corner as a conversation of ideas and real life experiences vs a monologue by moi.

The conversation is exploratory from religion. lost rituals, bystander effect, some goss about cult life and cult exits peppered with a few real life stories from Toni. Lets just say, we're glad she's out here and able to speak on it so light heartedly.

So glad we bit the bullette (bullet but with ette'). Thank you to Toni for being so open and agreeing to talk some ish with me on the record.

For everyone listening, thank you so so much for your time. I hope you decide to reach out, like right now and let me know your feels! Soul story! Whatever you got.

Lines are open.

Welcome to Brazen Radio's Soul Story of Alex, Chapter Three.

Trigger Warning: This episode discusses suicide in detail. Please take care while listening.

We have finally arrived at the finish line.

End it or go home and face everything he's left on purpose....Two months of chatting and arriving to this decision, though I am sure for Alex this decision has been a lifetime in the making. What a WILD journey this has been. I have gained such perspective to the subtle differences of where and how we've grown up. How privileged we are with such simple but necessary things like expecting the company that hired you to pay you. Anywho draw your own take aways and if your vibing, DM them to me, I'd love to discuss it.

Thank you Alex for the countless hours of chatter, for exploring your options, truth, struggles and plans. Love ya man.

Soul Stories shine a light on the reality of life, the things that build us, break us and renew us. If you or someone you know has a soul story they want to share get in touch!

Welcome To Brazen Radio's Soul Story of Alex, Chapter One.

Trigger Warning - domestic violence, substance abuse and suicide is mentioned.

I am so grateful to my friend Alex for offering to share his story with me. For safety reasons (which will make sense in future chapters) I cannot share any additional information about Alex other than his name, however if you have questions or comments you'd like him to answer or hear please send an email to Brazenradio@gmail.com with subject matter Alex and I will see to it that it reaches him.

This has been months in the making, which hopefully isn't the format going forward or episodes will never leave my laptop <3 But I do hope you enjoy hearing from his soul as much as I do.

Reach out for any reason, anytime.
