Been awhile #KenFolk! Today I wanted to drop an episode announcing I am coming back to the podcast space but also to talk about a very frequent question I get pretty often.

HOW DID YOU BOUNCE BACK?

This has been an ongoing question for some time now and I think its time I finally give a very detailed answer on the steps I took to move in the right direction. Hope you guys enjoy!

Today we discuss the in and outs of breaking generational trauma in which I am joined by Kimberly Shannon Murphy to discuss her newly released book "Glimmer".

Generational trauma is the transference of traumatic experiences or stressors from one generation to the next. One of many types of trauma, it can happen through direct experience, witnessing violence, or living in an environment where violence is a constant threat.

Today we discussed the misconceptions surrounding youth homelessness and how people can get more involved in making a change. In speaking with someone who works directly with the youth, we break down a lot of stereotypes and effective ways to help and make a difference both big and small. 

The main cause of teen homelessness is physical, sexual, and/or emotional abuse from parents or guardians. Here’s a closer look at the numbers:

• 46% reported being physically abused
• 38% reported being emotionally abused
• 17% reported being forced into unwanted sexual activity

Adolescents aging out of foster care are also at extreme risk of homelessness with around 50% becoming homeless within 6 months of leaving. This is largely due to a lack of education, social and financial support. They are often ill-prepared to live independently.

The numbers paint a sad story. Homelessness is taking a heavy toll of America’s youth who are at a much higher risk of physical abuse, sexual exploitation, substance abuse, mental health issues, and death. In America today, over 20,000 kids are forced into prostitution every year, and 5,000 unaccompanied youth die as a result of assault, illness, or suicide.

We as men and women communicate differently and it can cause rifts in our relationships. Both with friends and family, as well as our spouse.

Today I'm joined by Jasmine Davis, a marriage & life coach as she gives a few tools on how we all (men and women) can find some common ground to communicate effectively and break the barriers! Happy spouse, happy house!

Todays episode we dive into past experiences & how we use those experiences to shape who we are today. From past trauma, too bad decision making, we use that as fuel to drive us toward an  authentic goal. 

We strive to create genuine content that makes us happy and we discuss why everyone should have that same mindset speaking from personal experience.

Today Peter and I had a long talk about how we as men can elevate mentally and physically. 

Self care is an important piece that a lot of men deem "feminine" but in reality it creates a peaceful mindset in life. Its foundational to take care of yourself in all aspects of life despite what a societal construct has told you. 

Be yourself but work on yourself at the same time. Don't try to be someone else while the real you is under construction. 

Discussing the difference between masculine and feminine energy and why men and women possess BOTH.
