- 5:35Speaker 3: give our hosts an opportunity to get out and be
- 5:40Speaker 3: with their families and get out and be in the
- 5:42Speaker 3: community and be active and to engage and be a
- 5:46Speaker 3: part of what's going on. So we take Saturdays off.
- 5:52Speaker 3: Sundays we're back at it. We have an opportunity to
- 5:55Speaker 3: go worship, do whatever we do that Sunday morning, and

- 6:03Speaker 3: I tell you, I'm excited because I get to host
- 6:07Speaker 3: co hosts a grief podcast this season. This year, we

- 6:18Speaker 3: to individuals that have something that is important, something that
- 6:22Speaker 3: they want to get out, something that they want to share,
- 6:25Speaker 3: and we are utilizing these platforms and utilizing every space
- 6:29Speaker 3: that we have available to make sure that we are
- 6:33Speaker 3: allowing these voices to speak, allowing these individuals to have
- 6:38Speaker 3: a platform. So y'all, I'm excited. I share this platform
- 6:42Speaker 3: with one of the hosts here on the network, Chanette Johnson,
- 6:47Speaker 3: who is the host of Let's Talk About It, who
- 6:52Speaker 3: is our social injustice advocate. I tell you, when she
- 6:58Speaker 3: came on the network, she was a prayer answer, and
- 7:02Speaker 3: I tell you she's truly taken off and it's truly
- 7:06Speaker 3: allowing God to use her and allow her voice to
- 7:09Speaker 3: come forth. She's really found her space, and I'm just
- 7:14Speaker 3: excited to see what all she has in store for
- 7:18Speaker 3: twenty twenty five. We also have three amazing co hosts
- 7:25Speaker 3: that's joining Schanette and myself on these four shows, and
- 7:32Speaker 3: the show is titled Healing Voices Navigating through Grief. We
- 7:40Speaker 3: all have experienced grief, and if you have not experienced grief,
- 7:45Speaker 3: if you continue to live, you will experience grief. And
- 7:49Speaker 3: we all experience grief in different ways. It's not always
- 7:53Speaker 3: the loss of a loved one. It could be the
- 7:56Speaker 3: loss of a limb, it could be the loss of
- 8:00Speaker 3: organ it could be the loss of a home, these
- 8:05Speaker 3: things that you have, memories and things that you have
- 8:09Speaker 3: built that cannot be replaced and they have been lost.
- 8:16Speaker 3: I know that a lot of people that went through
- 8:21Speaker 3: the devastation of North Carolina and Tennessee during these floods,
- 8:26Speaker 3: a lot of them are grieving. A lot of them
- 8:28Speaker 3: had to go through grief because a lot of them
- 8:31Speaker 3: lost things that they have been building for a lifetime.
- 8:35Speaker 3: They lost memories that can never be replaced. So we're
- 8:39Speaker 3: gonna touch on a lot of different things. We're gonna
- 8:42Speaker 3: have some individuals to stop by that want to talk
- 8:45Speaker 3: about their grief process, want to share what their journey
- 8:49Speaker 3: has been like and what helped them and what may
- 8:55Speaker 3: be able to help you. We're gonna try to provide
- 8:57Speaker 3: resources that have helped us, and we want you to
- 9:02Speaker 3: be able to have access to these resources as well.
- 9:06Speaker 3: We don't want to just overload you with, you know,
- 9:10Speaker 3: things that we've been through and our experiences, but we
- 9:14Speaker 3: want to be able to provide outlets and resources for
- 9:18Speaker 3: you to be able to tap into those things that
- 9:21Speaker 3: we utilize. So I'm definitely excited about being a part
- 9:28Speaker 3: of the Voices Healing Voices Navigating through Grief we will

- 19:57Speaker 3: this is an amazing opportunity. Let me put this out
- 20:00Speaker 3: here really quick before we leave. This is an amazing
- 20:03Speaker 3: opportunity for these authors that are a part that represent
- 20:08Speaker 3: these various states, y'all. Our five year anniversary here at
- 20:13Speaker 3: Aspiring Authors Magazine is coming up in May, so we
- 20:18Speaker 3: are going to be celebrating all fifty states plus the
- 20:24Speaker 3: five territories that are part of the USA, which is Guam,
- 20:29Speaker 3: which is Us Simon, and the Virgin Islands. There's two
- 20:35Speaker 3: mo y'all. Dang it, I forget, but there's two mo
- 20:41Speaker 3: that is a part of.
- 20:45Speaker 2: This.
- 20:46Speaker 3: So if you have a book, if you are an author,
- 20:51Speaker 3: and you're you live in a state, if your state
- 20:54Speaker 3: is taken, you can get the state that you were born.
- 20:57Speaker 3: And if the state that you was born and is taken,
- 20:59Speaker 3: then you can take the state that your book is themed.
- 21:04Speaker 3: Then if that does not work, if that does not
- 21:07Speaker 3: work for you, then you can grab a state that
- 21:10Speaker 3: you always wanted to live in one of these states
- 21:13Speaker 3: that are not taken, like Wyoming. You have states like Oregon, Utah,
- 21:19Speaker 3: Washington State, different states that may not be taken. If
- 21:23Speaker 3: you would like to represent those states, you can represent
- 21:26Speaker 3: those states. But it's an opportunity for you to really
- 21:30Speaker 3: showcase your brand as well as just celebrate our five
- 21:35Speaker 3: years of service, y'all. Five years of service here a
- 21:40Speaker 3: SPIRALNFIC magazine where we have been a voice for those
- 21:44Speaker 3: that think that they did not have a voice. And
- 21:46Speaker 3: when I hear the testimonies coming out of places like
- 21:53Speaker 3: these prison systems and individuals that are grateful for the
- 22:00Speaker 3: opportunity to allow their brands to be seen and heard.
- 22:03Speaker 3: When you hear individuals thank you for allowing them the
- 22:08Speaker 3: opportunity to allow their brands to be seen around the world, y'all,
- 22:11Speaker 3: because we are available and a lot of various platforms.

- 22:25Speaker 3: digital on Amazon, available in print on Blurb, which is
- 22:29Speaker 3: a global distribute distribution, which makes it available all over y'all.
- 22:34Speaker 3: Anytime I can look at these platforms and see anything
- 22:40Speaker 3: outside of the US dollar listed on a royalty, it
- 22:45Speaker 3: makes my day because it lets me know that our
- 22:48Speaker 3: message is getting outside of the US, that is not
- 22:51Speaker 3: just hitting our grounds, but it's going to the four corners,
- 22:55Speaker 3: which that's what we're supposed to be doing. We're supposed
