So your ex had the audacity, the nerve and the lack of sense to text you,
“Baby I’m in jail.”
And now they want you to save them like you’re a whole SWAT team and a public defender in one. Well baby, in the words of Madea…….
“I don’t do jail. I do Jesus… and even He got boundaries!”
"You have been criticising yourself for years and it hasn’t worked. Try approving of yourself and see what happens." – Louise Hay
Far too many of us spend our energy chasing the bare minimum in relationships—romantic, familial or platonic. We shrink, second-guess our worth and find ourselves begging for time, affection or presence. But these are not signs of love—they are echoes of unhealed wounds. And though this pattern may not be your fault, it is now your responsibility to begin healing.
From a neuroscience perspective, our experiences of abandonment or emotional neglect deeply shape how our brain interprets safety and love. The amygdala, our emotional alarm system, becomes overactive when we perceive rejection. Over time, we begin to equate worth with struggle. But Louise Hay taught us a radical truth: we can rewire these beliefs…
Whew chile! Now you KNOW this one’s gonna ruffle a few feathers and stir a few chuckles too…
Imagine this: You’re minding your peaceful, unbothered business—glowing, growing, sipping your herbal tea—and outta nowhere, a message pops up from your ex. And not just any message… but one of those messages: “Hey, I got someone better than you.”
Now see… in the past, that might’ve sent you spiralling. But not today, boo. Today, you're evolved. You're healed(ish). You're grounded in peace… or at least petty with purpose.
This post isn’t about revenge. It’s about reclaiming your power, laughing through what used to hurt, and remembering that closure doesn't come from them—it comes from within. But sometimes, it also comes in a sharp, three-word clapback that leaves no room for replies.
Oh really?
That’s the whole point, sugar. I ain’t tryna find another headache in human form. One was enough, thank you kindly.
Let’s be clear—Madea don’t go backwards unless it’s to grab the remote or slam the door shut. When you’ve prayed for peace, cried through growth, and fought for your joy, the LAST thing you do is go diggin’ in the emotional trash can. If God removed them, don’t you go reinstallin’ what heaven already deleted.
Too many of y’all out here entertaining folks who should’ve been left on read in 2022. Why? Because they said something slick like "you’ll never find someone like me"? Baby, if delusion had a face...
“Now, baby, I love you, but we ain’t doin’ no cryin’ over somebody who got the emotional intelligence of a toaster oven. Uh-uh! No ma’am! Wipe them tears and listen up.”
First of all, you won. You hear me? You WON! This fool thought they was playin’ chess while you was just livin’ life, and now they sittin’ there confused ‘cause you packed up your self-respect and walked smooth out that game. That’s what I call a mic drop moment!
This is for the women who have endured the lies, the control, the emotional warfare—the ones who have been gaslit, broken down and made to doubt their own reality. It’s for the women who have walked away from narcissistic partners, toxic love, and soul-crushing relationships—or those still fighting to break free.
Every week, women lose their lives to domestic abuse. Every day, survivors battle to reclaim their power. And every moment, there are women out there, just like you, who refuse to be silenced, who rise despite the pain, who fight to heal.
This song is a reminder of that fight. A reminder of the trauma Aretha Franklin endured—the pain behind the voice, the strength behind the music. When you hear this, let it be your anthem. Let it be a voice for all the women who didn’t make it, and a…
"Surround yourself with people who lift you higher. The wrong ones will weigh you down and dim your light." – Unknown
One of the most critical lessons in life and business is recognising the power of your environment. The people you allow into your inner circle—whether it’s a romantic partner, a work colleague, or a business associate—can either elevate you or pull you down. As Rich Dad Poor Dad teaches us, your environment isn’t just about the places you inhabit; it’s about the relationships you nurture.
Here’s the truth: Toxic people don’t always announce themselves. They often present as allies, mentors, or even friends, but over time, their actions and attitudes can reveal a darker side. Neuroscience tells us that these relationships don’t just impact your emotions—they directly affect your brain.
"The people you surround yourself with determine your success or failure. Choose wisely." –…
"The moment you realise your worth, you stop giving discounts—own your power and watch your world transform."
Ladies, let’s talk about something vital: owning your power and never giving it up for someone less deserving—whether in relationships, your career, or running your business.
Here’s the truth: when you compromise your self-worth, you chip away at your inner strength. Neuroscience shows us that when we allow others to devalue us, our brain’s reward centre is negatively impacted, creating patterns of low self-esteem and even stress. Over time, this rewires us to accept less than we deserve.
But guess what? The brain is adaptable—you can reclaim your power and reset your mindset! Studies have shown that practicing self-empowerment through affirmations, boundary-setting and surrounding yourself with supportive communities like this one can literally rebuild your confidence circuits.
When younger, we make various choice's without the future in mind. Sometimes those choices bite us in our mid-life.
These are some of the things one might regret when they're older.
"You don’t need to find someone like them—you’re on a journey to discover someone better: YOU. Growth begins where their control ends."
Have you ever received a message from an ex claiming, "You’ll never find anyone like me"? At first glance, it might sting or make you pause—but let’s flip the script. Instead of letting it get to you, take it as a reminder of how far you’ve come and how much better your life can be without the drama.
These words aren’t about you—they’re a reflection of their own insecurity and fear of being left behind. So, let’s turn this moment into an opportunity to celebrate your growth, your freedom, and the bright future ahead of you. Because if you’re getting messages like this, it’s a sign you’re doing something right!
“You’ve become so damaged that when someone wants to give you what you deserve, you have no idea how to respond.”
Does this quote resonate with you?
For too long, many of us have allowed the weight of our past to dictate our present. We carry emotional scars, replay the same narratives, and unknowingly become addicted to the familiar comfort of pain, stress, and self-doubt. It’s time to break the cycle.
We often confuse survival with healing, but survival is only the beginning. True healing starts when you allow yourself to:
Neglect isn’t carelessness—it’s a calculated weapon. I don’t yell, I don’t fight, and I don’t chase. I simply vanish emotionally, leaving you questioning everything. Neglect isn’t just ignoring you; it’s stripping away your confidence, piece by piece, until you’re desperate for my crumbs of attention. Here’s how I play the game to perfection:
At first, I give you everything—love, attention, and validation. It’s addictive, isn’t it? You feel seen, important, and wanted. Then, I pull back without warning. The texts stop, the compliments fade, and suddenly, you’re met with silence. This isn’t by accident. I want you confused, wondering what went wrong, and scrambling to make me happy again. That’s how I shift the power—when you start working for the attention I once freely gave.
Love is a profound and transformative emotion, and when someone tells you they love you, it resonates deeply. However, discovering that their words were insincere and dishonest can be emotionally (and sometimes physically) painful, leaving you questioning your worth and future.
It's crucial to remember that one person's deception doesn't define your value or your potential for finding true love in the future. Let me know what you think about these five essential lessons and empowering steps to help someone navigate this journey and emerge stronger than ever.
