Okay. So admittedly this topic is probably my most talked about LIFE LESSON. But hear me out. I truly believe this is one of the most critical areas of focus if you want to curate a life that truly matters to you. It is astonishing to me how so many people simply are limited in their self-awareness. And it is so unfortunate because a lack of self-awareness, quite frankly, limits your growth and deeply impacts your relationships. And so, in this episode, we are breaking down the SIX REASONS SELF-AWARENESS is your SECRET POWER! This is Part ONE. Part TWO comes next week. During this episode we are breaking down WHY self-awareness is so critical, HOW it is impacting you and your relationships, and we learn TWO of the SIX REASONS Self Awareness is your Secret Power. If you are ready to truly elevate, this is the episode for you! Don’t forget to comment, share and subscribe! Oh! And DM me on IG if you have any questions! www.instagram.com/robinmayonline…

I always say Transparency is one of my super-powers. But honey it doesn’t mean it’s always easy. In this episode, I am more open and vulnerable than I think I’ve ever been. I often share openly and freely, but more often on situations and dynamics that I have come THROUGH! But today…I share where I AM AS WE SPEAK! Basically, I use myself PLUS two other people as CASE STUDIES on what it means to DO YOUR WORK! You know we’ve heard that terminology time and time again…You gotta do your work. But honestly, most of us don’t even know what that really means. During this episode I share the FIVE COMPONENTS of “Doing your Work”. But before I go there, I speak to where I know many women are currently on their journey. So many of you (so many of us) have found great success in some areas…but if we are honest, there are some areas in our lives that are challenging and we can’t quite put our finger on what it is…well, now you can! Listen in on this episode to LEARN how to get the answer you’ve been looking for… Y’all this was a vulnerable one for me…so make sure you let me know your thoughts!

In this Episode of “Intentional Conversations with Robin May and Friends” we continue our conversation with my big sis…my only biological sister (She wants to make sure we know that! Lol!) Kimberly! We are in the middle of a series: “Friendship Therapy” and in the conversation with Kim, we are unpacking Conflict in Friendship. During Part 1 we unpacked, in great detail, how Kim handles (or handled) conflict in Friendship. When you think of the concept of: Flight, Flight or Freeze, then you will understand that Kim definitely was a FIGHTER! Not necessarily physically, but definitely verbally. Well, in Part 2…it’s my turn! During this conversation we discuss: • The way I (Robin) have handled conflict in the past • Why Kimberly admits that she would have missed out on a relationship with me, if we were not sisters, BECAUSE of the way I handle conflict • How one approach is not “better” than the other. Just different…with its own consequences • The benefit of TOUGH conversations and how I often missed out on the benefit because of my response to conflict • How critically important transparency is in Friendship • What it means for people to “BE FAIR” when it comes to unpacking their role in conflict Yes, we discuss all of that and so much more in Part 2 of our chat. And we really want to hear from you. How do you handle conflict, particularly in the area of Friendship? If you had to pick a team, after hearing both of our conflict perspectives, whose team are you on? Team Kim or Team Robin? What was your main take-away from our conversation?

Honey, let’s continue this conversation. This is Part 2 of my conversation with Nikki Washington, author of Unplanned Perfection. During this part of our chat, we go right to the heart of the matter: We unpack Nikki’s LOVE life and how her trauma and drama has shown up in relationships. In her book, "Unplanned Perfection" Nikki shares so much about her story and what has happened in relationships and we talk about it during this conversation. We discuss: How she had the habit of shrinking back in relationships in order to not “rock the boat” How her own distortion of her value, caused her to anticipate abandonment in relationships How she realized in hindsight the subtle nuisances that she ignored before getting married How she navigated her divorce quietly with little to no public response, despite a desire to do so How she saw God in a brand-new way during the darkest time of her life Yep…we talk about all of that! Again, remember – this podcast and definitely this discussion is meant to help you see you! Listen in on our open and transparent conversation, but also be open to the Ah-ha’s and takeaways that are here for you! Don't forget to DM me your biggest takeaway!
