![54: Codeswitch Real Talk (Part 1 of 2)]()
October 28, 2019
In this series, we have a heavy conversation around the topic of.... conversations. More specifically, how individuals in minority races and ethnicities have to use codeswitching in order to fit in with, gain traction with, or simply get treated equally among dominant groups. Darryl shares his stories about how he first learned codeswitching and now, how he has to do it on a daily basis. This episode is part 1 of a 2 part series, and trust me, you don't want to miss either this week's or next week's episode.

![53: Get Over The Bull-Shift]()
October 21, 2019
Some life changes happen quickly and you have to learn to adapt fast in order to survive your new circumstances. However, most life changes happen over time, in a shifting pattern that is barely recognizable until you are on the other side of the change. In this episode we talk about how life-shifts occur in work and in your relationships, and how to navigate them so you are stronger on the other side.

![51: Have You Defined Your Values?]()
October 7, 2019
"Last night, we were supposed to record this episode. Instead, we had to have a long, heart-to-heart conversation about something that was bothering Darryl: really laying out our family values for ourselves and our children."
See, we've been down this road. We lead values-based workshops, we've determined and set our own values for ourselves and our relationship; yet, we realized that we really needed to set them for our family.
In this episode, we talk about HOW we do this in our workshops (even grab a FREE copy of the values elimination sheet we're talking about in our Level-Up Portal - HERE) and Darryl talks about his used-to-be-very-lucrative-nightlife working in the clubs and how that's changed now that he's a family man.

![49: Go After What You Want]()
September 23, 2019
Are you in the driver's seat, making the decisions for your life? Or do you sit in the passenger seat and let circumstances dictate your life? In this episode, we talk about why it's important to have intention and be deliberate in how you achieve your goals.
We also discuss how we have to work around our VERY different personality tendencies when we set intentions or work towards achieving something in our relationship, our business, or as parents. You'll hear how we had to go with the flow when we were expecting our first child, how we meticulously planned for our second child, how we deliberately worked the system for our destination wedding, and our usual tips and takeaways so you can put deliberation and intention into your lives on a daily basis!

![46: Let Me Validate Ya]()
September 2, 2019
Validation is a necessary part of life. We use validation every time we look up Yelp's "Top 10 Restaurants" while we're traveling. We require validation to ensure that we are doing a good job at work. However, validation can go too far when we start to rely on it in order to feel like we have worth. The things that other people think of us shouldn't dictate how we feel about ourselves or our behaviors, but they often do.
In this episode, we discuss the concept of validation, the harm it can have, and our tips for getting over needing validation from others in order to feel worthwhile.
