Welcome to Episode 15 of the Our2Cents Podcast. Today we discussed quite a few things. From a brief tale of Mohna Lyssaa giving her boyfriend the boot, we somehow ended up talking about support when it comes to men. How much do you give a man, in the event he is down? Is he entitled? How much support do you get for just being a human being? Is there a point to say "fuck it"??? Or even "fuck you"???
BJ goes into Comfort Zones Are For Suckaz, detailing how perspective can greatly affect rejection and disappointments. Something that we all experience. How you view being told no can make or break you. It's a valuable lesson in love and adulthood. A "No" doesn't mean you missed out. It sometimes means that you need to readjust your approach.
Then we discuss our topic...Mary J Blige made the declaration that she will insist that the only men she will be involved with will be men who make more than her. Many women sympathize, and agree, with her sentiments. But none question her judgments in picking that man. There was never a question if she has good taste in men. Did she decide to settle for a man that was convenient or available? Why is it that the man is always at fault when the relationship sours? Could looking for status and salary be the reason you overlook key necessities in a relationship. We break that down. 
We also talk spousal support when it comes to men. Is spousal support cowardly, when it comes to men? We talk sacrifices men make that get no credit. This conversation was pretty good. Lots of perspective and analogies for ways to renew commitment between two people...despite their status. Check out episode 15 and let us know what you think!!!!

Episode 15: Mary Kendu Bad All By Herself

Every Episode seems like we are trying our hardest to lift our spirits and fight through another week. So this week's episode of Our2Cents was spent making one declaration. TO SAY NO MORE. And it can be put to use any way you would like to use it....whether you chose to say NO more than you say YES. Or, you say NO MORE when it comes to being used, abused, mistreated, taken advantage of, etc. Its time to reclaim your peace and sanity. That was pretty much the entire conversation.
We talked about how we communicate our not so positive feelings and emotions. Mohna still shows empathy and compassion. BJ has completely thrown both hands up. But overall, a person's no is their no...whether you like it or not!!!

Mohna Lyssaa gave us her "Comfort Zones Is For Suckas" that she affectionately titled WWBJD (What Would BJ Do??)...she also states how comfort doesn't make much of a difference, in her current stage of life. She wants to navigate through discomfort with more determination, bravery, and willingness. BJ has somehow inspired a more productive use of his IDGAF attitude. Selfishly focusing on nothing but his own priority and happiness. Later finding out that your no is a release and a boundary we need to have for ourselves. You can't let any and everything get you down. Lastly, we discuss the power of just saying OK, instead of no. Although OK could represent a multitude of feelings...It could definitely do more harm than good! Tune in to Episode 16 and let us inspire you to say NO more....or say NO MORE!!!!!

Episode 16: Say No More

Today, Mohna and BJ discuss shoes. The comfortable ones. The ones you wear daily, even when they don't match your attire. You put these shoes on in a heartbeat, whenever you try to be comfortable. The problem is that you may be too comfortable. Which could be the reason why there is little to no growth. The shoes you may be wearing may effect the outfit of your life, and how everything coordinates with each other! Have you ever thought about that?
Questions that are posed in this episode are:
1. Whose shoe are you trying to fill? - Yours or someone you love or look up to?
2. Are your shoes to small? - Is the shoes you are filling a space much too small, that prevents proper position, comfort, and footing?
3. Does the shoes match the Outfit? - How does your comfort effect the outfit of your life? Are you lazy because of your comfort zone? Are you slothful to try on a new shoe and outfit, to change life's appearance?
4. Do you buy shoes you know you cant fit? - Buying things that you intend to grow into. Does that work? Does that backfire?
This is a episode where you have to use your intuitions to figure this life thing out. Maybe life hasn't changed much simply because you are just way too comfortable!!!!
