Hot Mess MillionaireWalking Away From Security For Fulfillment: Would You Do It?Are you willing to sacrifice security to follow your dreams? Have you ever had dreams that you gave your whole heart to, and then life happened? This week, Dr. Venus talks about putting this podcast and social media on hold while she focuses her energy on her first TV show. She is willing to take the risk and go for a life where she surrenders to her calling and goes full time as a creative. This sparks a conversation on how to believe in yourself, why it’s important to take a risk and let go of the false Go...2022-01-1924 minHot Mess MillionaireLife After Death: Grieving As a Form of TransitionLiving is never easy after death. Whatever or whoever you are grieving, it can be the loss of a loved one, a dream, or a waistline, the very process REQUIRES you to transition to a new reality. It can feel daunting and overwhelming, but transition is what gets us to fully step into our destiny and who we were born to be. This week, Dr. Venus reflects how grieving is another form of transitioning from what was, to what can be. She talks about how to keep going when you don’t see a point, and when something you lo...2022-01-0522 minHot Mess MillionaireHealing Through the Holidays (Part 2)It’s okay to have sad days. For those who are grieving, the holidays can be an extra hard time and while the world seems cheerful and celebratory, it can be hard to even just get out of bed. This week, Dr. Venus just asks you to grieve with her as she contends with the angelversary of her brother Tory passing away from COVID on last Christmas Eve. She shares resources that can help in the darkest of times, and reminds you that you aren’t alone if you are grieving. Key Takeaways: [1:56] There...2021-12-2922 minHot Mess MillionaireHealing Through the Holidays (Part 1)As Dr. Venus approaches the 1 year anniversary of her brother Tory’s transition on Christmas Eve, she is experiencing heavy feelings of grief, sadness, and deeply missing a loved one. She contends with the fact that the holidays can be brutal, especially when you have lost a loved one during a season of cheer. How do you put up holiday lights and deal with this festive time when it’s hard to even get out of bed some days? This week, she shares resources to deal with that grief, and ways to cope through the holida...2021-12-2922 minHot Mess MillionaireThe REAL Reason Black Men Are “Broke”The most LUCRATIVE capitol AND labor in American history are Black Men. If Black Men made their own money, America would go bankrupt - after Emancipation & today. This has nothing to do with spirit or work ethic, and everything to do about a system setup to discredit him and position him as a natural born criminal. In the early 1800s, enslaved People of African ancestry were considered loyal and nonthreatening; after 1865, they were considered criminals. Today, our systems are still designed to keep Black Men broke and working for free or very little, with a price tag attached for...2021-12-2239 minHot Mess MillionaireWhite Mass Shootings vs. Black-On-Black Crime: Racial Pathologies, Roots, and RepresentationsRecently in Michigan, a 15-year old White man opened fire in his high school, killing 4 people and injuring 7. White Supremacists were quick to point out how Black-on-Black crime shows just how violent young Black males are, and why they deserve to go to jail or be shot on sight. But when it’s a young White male who murders, they are called “disturbed” and “troubled”. They need mental health care, not the death penalty. This week, Dr. Venus opens up a conversation about the roots of the representation of white male mass shooters and Black on Black crime. First, we must co...2021-12-1539 minHot Mess MillionaireBlack Men Criminalized to Labor For White Wealth from 1831-2022Sis, the 13th Amendment abolished slavery — with one caveat: except if a former slave committed a crime. Laws were then put in place to have Black Men locked up for the tiniest infraction, mistakes, or missteps. Now, Black Men are still the workhorse for White wealth. This week, Dr. Venus breaks it down very slowly so we can get an understanding of what the Black Man’s existence has been like since 1831, and how they have been forced to do labor: from peonage to convict leasing to simply stealing. The practice of enslaving Black Male bodies as free labor is a...2021-12-0842 minHot Mess MillionaireWhy White Males Walk & Black Males Are ImprisonedWhat we know for certain, is that there are two Americas. One America for people of African ancestry, and another for those of European ancestry. While we also know there are different races inside of America, the founding principles and ideals of this country were bought with Black blood. This week, Dr. Venus goes deep on why it is that a White Male can walk, but a Black Male ends up in prison. It’s not only an issue of race, but being with the notion that Black Men are seen as non-human, and it happens from when they ar...2021-12-0137 minHot Mess MillionaireSexual Violence Against Black MenMany (1 out of 4) Black Women have experienced sexual violence. In fact, sexual violence is one of the worst crimes against humanity, specifically as it was employed and monetized during Chattel Slavery. The impact is felt generationally in our relationships, in our bodies, and most importantly, in our sense of self and personal power. We know this historical trauma, and because we can talk about it, we can get the support to heal it. But what about the GROSS sexual trauma and violence against Black Men? Why is it not included in our history books or addressed in society now...2021-11-2442 minHot Mess MillionaireLetting a Black Man Provide Like GodSis, I believe the very nature of God is to provide. If we are made in the image and likeness of God, then that means we are here to provide for one another. However, what if the structures - political, social, and historical made it not only next to impossible for one to provide, but positioned some peopole as worthless and always up to no good. This week, Dr. Venus invites us to reexamine what it really means to be a Black Man in North America. She gives the historical context on how Black Men have been systematically held...2021-11-1741 minHot Mess MillionaireTaught Terror: Black Women Relating To Black Men Like Police Do (Hear Me Out)Sis, you & I relate to Black Men the EXACT same way that the Police do. Hear me out. We relate to them with suspicion, hostility, looking for SOMETHING to accuse them of. We instantly judge them based on their clothes, diction, the car they drive, & their neighborhood. We have ways of talking that are designed to dehumanize and tear down Black Men. The ONLY difference between the Police and us is this: the cops terrorize Black Men physically; we do it emotionally. This week, Dr. Venus unpacks the historical wounds that have led to Black Men being positioned as...2021-11-1048 minHot Mess MillionaireTending To the Little Boy Within Black MenWithin every powerful Black Woman is a little girl. Within every powerful Black Man is a little boy. Both genders have historical wounds that are not named but felt in the way we interact with each other, especially when it comes to vulnerability. This week, Dr. Venus talks about how both Black Men and Women have inherited historical trauma due to North American Chattel slavery, and how these survival strategies can cause us pain and suffering when we don’t tend to each other or work to heal these wounds. She discusses the double standard when...2021-11-0347 minHot Mess MillionaireVaccination, Medical Racism, And The Illusion of ChoiceIs there really such a thing as “choice?” Notice all the noise surrounding NBA Star, Kyrie Irving, standing for his “choice” to NOT be vaccinated. The amount of social and institutional pressure is huge. If one does not acquiesce, there are punitive consequences. Slavery was the exact same way. This week, Dr. Venus does a deep dive into the illusion of choice, showing how those who have been historically marginalized have also been victims to “choose” a certain thing or action, or suffer the consequences. She gives examples of heartbreaking medical racism from Racial Eugenics (which Hitler...2021-10-2742 minHot Mess MillionaireHealing Humanity by Healing Black LoveWhere there is a woman, there is magic. Specifically, a Black Woman. Black Women are the mother of civilization. Spiritually. Consciously. Emotionally. That is a lot of power, yet we tend to forget this and fail to see or relate to ourselves as the source of life itself. We see ourselves as victims and strong, but not the author of our own story, and the force behind the world’s energy and function. This week, Dr. Venus goes in on why we must embrace the truth of our power as the mother of civilization in order to heal. If we...2021-10-2041 minHot Mess MillionaireBlack Power vs. Penis Power: Black Masculinity & Reproductive RightsDr. Venus loves Black Men. Their brilliance, their attitude, their mind, and perspective. Yet somehow, she finds her feelings get hurt when they do things that feel as if they are not standing with her. We march for Black Men when it comes to social change, and yet when it comes to our right to choose, you “man up” and side with patriarchy? REALLY? As more laws are introduced and passed to greatly handicap women of all races in America for their right to choose to terminate a pregnancy, Dr. Venus goes in this week on why some Brothers may...2021-10-1333 min
Hot Mess MillionaireLoving Yourself While Being In LoveLoving yourself as a Black Woman is a revolutionary act. It goes against everything we have been taught and have seen in society. Even harder is loving yourself and keeping yourself as the priority when you get in a relationship. Dr. Venus knows that self-love is often the first thing that goes out the window. Everything gets dropped, compromised, or pushed to the back burner. We self-sacrifice and twist ourselves up into a pretzel, all at the expense of our respect, pride, time, and energy. But what if there was another way? ...2021-10-0636 minHot Mess MillionaireSlave Patrol to Police: Absolute Power/CorruptionAbsolute power creates absolute corruption. When a person is not held accountable, they take that freedom for granted and make others do what they want, and then penalize them (sometimes to the point of death) if they don’t. When a person has power and others don’t, without proper checks and balances, the person who has power will become corrupt. To fully understand this and the way of humans, we must look at the history of policing.This week, Dr. Venus goes in on slave patrollers in North America. What their purpose was, how they built their power into...2021-09-2940 minHot Mess MillionaireAre You Manifesting Pain or Profit?Sis, your bank account NEVER lies. Dr. Venus is not blaming you, and she comes from a place of love, but if you are not thriving, take the case that YOU have something to do with it. Manifesting is a power each of us have, yet there are many reasons we don’t get purposeful and intentional about what it is we want or take the necessary action to get there. The world can feel cray-cray, very negative, and it’s normal to feel hopeless and frustrated…if you are average. When you are average, you get pulled in by the...2021-09-2237 minHot Mess MillionaireLove & Money REQUIRE The Same Thing—IF You Want to Manifest & Keep BOTH!Love and money require one thing from you - you being willing to receive. However, it’s only fair that given the betrayal and oppression we have had as Black Women, we often have a negative relationship to money, opening our hearts, and loving each other. However, if we want to manifest and to live in our own power, we must heal the hurts of the past to make room for an awe-inspiring future. This week, Dr. Venus shares a secret that changed the game for BOTH love and money. She shares how to bring more of eac...2021-09-1531 minHot Mess MillionaireFight or Stand: A Proven Path to Peace, Purpose, and ProfitsDoes it always feel like you are fighting someone or something? Dr. Venus does. She’s had to fight daily her whole life, whether it’s against injustice, racism, sexism, or homophobia. Sure, fighting can help, but it’s also exhausting and often leaves us feeling like we have no room to breathe. But sis, what if the problem isn’t the woes of the world - from Haiti to Afghanistan to Racial injustice, but it is our approach? If we aren’t fighting, how do we enact effective social change and make the world better than we found it...2021-09-0829 minHot Mess MillionaireThe Courage To Be InsecureBeing a strong Black woman can kill you. The people pleasing, stress, and depression can really take a toll on your health, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Yet in our society, Black women are lauded for self-sacrifice and we are encouraged to keep going, even when we are tired and at the end of our rope. What do we do when we have been fed and rewarded for being strong, but there is no room for us to be human? This week, Dr. Venus goes in on the courage to be insecure. She shares the historical co...2021-09-0131 minHot Mess MillionaireNew Wealth vs. Generational WealthLeBron James is rich. The owners/ brand endorsers who write his checks… they are wealthy. We say we want generational wealth, but how do we get it if we don’t know what that means and how it looks? This week, Dr. Venus goes in for an educational conversation about what generational wealth really is, and how we as Black Women can create it in the next five years for the next five generations. She talks about the difference between new money vs. generational wealth, why rich doesn’t always mean wealthy, and shares practical tips for getting your money...2021-08-2536 minHot Mess MillionaireBlack Slave. White Wealth.Dr. Venus thought that being a millionaire would solve all her problems. Guess what. She was wrong. Soooo wrong. In fact, being a millionaire amplified how POOR she really was and how we really don’t have that much if we are unable to help out those around us, and not just ourselves. This week, Dr. Venus is ready to have a grown-up and adult conversation that isn’t easy, but it’s very important. The fallout from slavery has been devastating for centuries, however, it was also the most effective business entity in the history of the world. ...2021-08-1841 minHot Mess MillionaireErotic Black Love AFTER TraumaTrauma is devastating. Whether it’s emotional trauma, sexual trauma, the loss of a loved one, a home or a job, trauma hurts. Women worldwide deal with it, yet so often we just push it under the rug or try to stuff it down without sharing how we really feel and speaking up for what we need. This week, Dr. Venus talks about the profound undertaking of allowing pure pleasure into your life, especially if it comes from a man who looks like ones that have hurt you before. It can be very tough to trust someone who reminds yo...2021-08-1141 minHot Mess MillionaireRolling Back Civil Rights: Bare Knuckle BRAWL for Our Children’s EducationRight now, we are in a street fight for our children’s minds. When history is not taught in an inclusive way, it affects ALL races, genders, nationalities and religions. What’s more, when required reading is inclusive, it impacts how children vote when they become adults. Recently, the Texas Senate passed a bill that removes required reading from various Civil Rights movements including Susan B. Anthony, Cesar Chavez, Indigenous American History, Dr. King's writings, and many others. While all White American History stays, significant historical events and information addressing women and POC will be removed from Texas public scho...2021-08-0439 minHot Mess MillionaireMissionary MESS! Saving Souls at The Expenses of Black Bodies. Really????The Slave Bible was commissioned in 1807 and was created to evangelize African “savages” in order to save their “pagan” souls from eternal damnation. The “tool” they used was an “abridged” version of the King James bible wherein 90% of the Old Testament & 50% of the New Testament were removed. In the Slave Bible, the MISSIONARIES (not the Planters) chose to include the books from the King James version about slaves obeying their masters, humility, & looking forward to meeting God in the by & by. ALL BOOKS that inspire hope, freedom and rebellion are omitted. This week, Dr. Venus deep dives into...2021-07-2839 min
Hot Mess MillionaireTulsa Burnt. Oscarville Flooded. In Service of "Progress?"Tulsa wasn’t the only Black community burnt to the ground by systems of oppression. There were at least 33 others. Thriving, independent and self-sustaining Black communities — terrorized and destroyed. Fire wasn’t the only method used. Over 100 Black and poor communities were flooded, turned into lakes, or gutted to build railroads and highways. In fact, underneath manmade lakes near Central Park and in California, ENTIRE COMMUNITIES sit underwater, all in the name of progress. This week, Dr. Venus talks about systems of oppression for Black and poor Americans. She discusses how it’s happening at the local and state level, a...2021-07-2142 min
Hot Mess MillionaireThe Confederate Bible (Girrllll)For people who love the Lord, our most sacred text is the Bible. Recently, Dr. Venus stumbled upon a Bible rooted in the doctrine of the Confederacy, the King James Version of The Spirit of Liberty Holy Bible. This version has been used since to rewrite history, as well as textbooks, to educate and indoctrinate generations of children about their God-given superiority. It positions our Presidents as Godly and continues that narrative that Black people are less than and have no authority. This week, Dr. Venus walks this very important and deep teaching real slow, s...2021-07-1446 min
Hot Mess MillionaireJustice for George Or Systemic Racism Protecting Its Own?The Judge has spoken. A 22 and ½ year sentence. Parole eligibility in ⅔ of the sentence. Was justice for George Floyd served? Was this really a fair outcome for a helpless and restrained Black Man being murdered by the Police, as America watched and the world cried for justice? As Derek Chauvin stood with his hands in his pockets, defiantly and brazenly glaring directly into the camera, deaf to all the bystanders screaming for him to stop? For Dr. Venus, the answer is no, justice wasn’t served. However, it’s not because of the sentence. It’s about th...2021-07-0741 min
Hot Mess MillionaireJuneteenth: We Accept CrumbsWhile Dr. Venus is very clear that the federal holiday of Juneteenth is a symbolic victory, she feels it has no direct impact on the quality of life of Black people. Knowing that, why are Black People, but specifically Black Women, SO ok with accepting so very very little? Why are we so okay with accepting scraps that we are thankful that White people or the government or Senate would give us a holiday to BBQ, but not pass the laws that would stop the police from killing us? Dr. Venus has MANY followers who a...2021-06-3024 min
Hot Mess MillionaireBlack Women Boundaries: Why White Hate Punishes Them & Black Men Break ThemThe role of Black Women in North America is so deeply rooted in trauma and social expectations that when we step outside, there is a punitive consequence. From criticism to fines, physical and mental damage to humiliation, when a Black Woman (and I would dare to say most women worldwide) stands her ground or puts herself first, the hammer comes down on her. This week, Dr. Venus discusses the historical reason behind Black Women finding such great pushback when they try to set personal boundaries, how Black Masculinity and White hate play a role, and how we must remember...2021-06-2339 min
Hot Mess MillionaireBlack PRIDE: Queer Black Freedom Fighters whose advocacy has been just as significant to Black Freedom as Harriet Tubman & Dr. KingInside of Black culture, some groups aren’t always included when it comes to identity. As we celebrate both Pride Month and Juneteenth this month, we can combine the two to lift up communities that have been marginalized and celebrate activists that have fought for the freedom of Black people. This week, Dr. Venus shines a spotlight on 7 Black Queer Freedom Fighters and Black Queer advocates, from the literary genius of the 1920s to the brilliant strategy behind the scenes of the March on Washington, these heroes have fought and died for Black freedom, but are...2021-06-1636 min
Hot Mess MillionaireA Black Wall Street They Can’t Burn To the GroundTulsa wasn’t the only Black town that was burned to the ground by White hate. Historically, White hate has found ways to annihilate Black wealth, even if they don’t riot or kill. Sometimes they just build a highway in the middle of a community, deny business loans, or withhold permits so we can’t build on the land. They still find ways to hurt and handicap us, even when we do everything right. This week, Dr. Venus talks about building a Black Wall Street they can’t burn to the ground. She discusses how truly...2021-06-0933 min
Hot Mess MillionaireTrusting Black Men With Our Dreams. How?Dr. Venus was in a complete breakdown. Her website crashed, her Amazon Prime account was hacked, and the sales page for her app had to abort. There was nothing else to do but to stop, take a moment, and pray. As she asked God to help her, the answer that showed up was so much more than she expected. Black Men showed up to get up under her dreams and use their expertise and wisdom to help not only with the tech app, but with the larger mission of birthing 100 Black Women Billionaires. To fully understand how much that...2021-06-0234 min
Hot Mess MillionaireThe Infrastructure of OppressionWhite Power Structures are ruthless. The level of diabolic thinking is staggering when you start to really deal with how America is set up to oppress everybody that is not a White Male land-owning body. The infrastructure was built based on slavery, and we must understand the invisible oppression that comes with what it means to be American. To get out, we must first get in and contend with different strategies for surviving White supremacy by seeing the matrix of the structure, and then coming together to strategize and outsmart it. America is built on ca...2021-05-2636 min
Hot Mess MillionaireSis, Can I Sit With You? Black Women Standing For Black WomenHey sis, can I sit with you? Those are the most beautiful and tender words a Black Woman can hear when she feels tired and as though the world is against her. Recently, we saw a video of a Black Woman who sat in the street and refused to get up. The Minnesota Police surrounded her, hands on guns. People watched, but NO ONE got on her side. Not the police. Not the bystanders. Not the EMTs. Except one. A Black Woman social worker simply said, “Hey Sis, are you ok? Can I sit with you?” Why...2021-05-1937 minHot Mess MillionaireOutsmarting White SupremacyDr. Venus is not arguing over if racism is real. She’s not trippin’ about the first 100 days of the Biden/Harris administration. Nor does she care who's right or wrong in terms of social change. Here is what she has given her life to empowering Black Women to win. This week, Dr. Venus breaks it down as an identity theorist on why we need to put our attention on outsmarting White Supremacist structures in service of the economic emancipation of Our People. We need to put our foc...2021-05-1240 minHot Mess MillionaireBlack Blood Sells: White Power As EntertainmentThe news doesn’t tell you what to think, it tells you what to think about. This distinction is important because if we go by what we see on photos and mainstream media, it looks like the police are killing Black people more than White people all the time. However, the reality is that 3 times as many as White people are “shoot to kill” victims by police, but we NEVER SEE WHITE PEOPLE murdered in cold blood by cops. With 64% of the population in America being White and 13% being Black, why wouldn’t they also show the White police murders...2021-05-0543 minHot Mess MillionaireHow Do We Counter White Supremacy as Black Women?Dr. Venus was already in a tizzy about the media assassinating the characters of both DMX and George Floyd, pointing to the notion that because they had addictions, they were weak and dirty. Now, Daunte Wright, a 20-year old young Black Man, was fatally shot by a police officer during a traffic stop. This got her thinking about how the structures of White Supremacy are so powerful, yet so invisible to most of us throughout our daily life. Black bodies used to be, or some may even say are still, seen as commodities. Female Black bodies were turned into...2021-04-2836 min
Hot Mess MillionaireAddiction is Not a Character FlawGeorge Floyd and DMX are men whose lives mattered, yet both of them are positioned in the popular media as junkies and losers. Bad, trifflin’ Black men whose lives were destined for the grave. We know Derek Chauvin killed George Floyd with his hand in his pocket as though his life meant nothing, and yet the conversation is more focused on if George would have JUST gotten in the police car. Much like if DMX had JUST not used drugs, he too would still be alive. This week, Dr. Venus slows it way down to talk about wh...2021-04-2137 min
Hot Mess MillionaireGeorge Floyd Wasn’t Murdered? Really??It's NEVER them. It's ALWAYS us. Our fault. Our poor health. Our drug use. Our diabetes. As Derek Chauvin’s attorney Eric Nelson chips away at the video of George Floyd being murdered to create reasonable doubt, the logic of White Supremacy is so clear. He is questioning the “real cause” of George Floyd’s death. He argues that Floyd died of a cardiac arrest resulting from drug use & pre-existing health issues, including heart disease & high blood pressure, not an inability to breathe. Can you see it? More blame the victim and character assassination of the Black Male body. 2021-04-1434 min
Hot Mess Millionaire21st Century Jim Crow: Why We Need Black Women BillionairesWhite Supremacy in Georgia is pissed. The GOP is still fuming over the state turning Blue due in large part to Black People voting, and now is doing everything in their power to undermine the Black vote as punishment and prevention from us gaining legislative power. The level of ruthlessness is real, but Dr. Venus has some thoughts and comes at this discussion from a different angle than you may hear elsewhere. This week, she shares the historical context of White Supremacy creating power structures to keep the marginalized from voting and why it’s imp...2021-04-0735 min

We need to realize that this is the time to stand together and support each other in the face of obvious White Supremacy. BE CLEAR: WHITE SUPREMACY IS NOT SKIN COLOR. IT’S AN IDEOLOGY. There are Black White Supremacists just as there are Asian & Hispanic White Supremacists. George Zimmerman is a prime example. #riptravonmartin This week, Dr. Venus turns to her identity theorist side to provide historical facts of when Blacks and Asians have stood together. She dis...2021-03-3135 min
Hot Mess MillionaireSelf-Made Millionaire vs God-Made BillionaireIt’s easy to be labeled “self-made” when you come from the gutter. People look at the results of decades of hard work and acknowledge you for “overcoming”. There are implications and assumptions that hard work is the reason for your success. People may even look up to you as a role model for beating the odds, inspired and hopeful that they can do the same. This week, Dr. Venus explains why she is done being “self-made”. It can be exhausting and there are generations before her that also deserve to be honored so she could have her...2021-03-2436 min
Hot Mess MillionaireCelebrating Black Women Billionaires During Women’s History MonthIt’s Women’s History Month, and Dr. Venus is excited to celebrate Black Women Billionaires.

Back in the day, Black Women’s work purchased the American Dream and made others rich. Now, Black Women Billionaires PROVIDE the capital. Dr. Venus spotlights four Black Women Billionaires, all-powerful and extremely diversified in their investments and sectors. She also discusses the painful historical relationship between capitalism and Black Women, and how we must change the narrative and work togethe...2021-03-1737 min

Hot Mess MillionaireA History of Black MoneySis, did you know the most wealthy and powerful era in American history for Black People was right after the Emancipation Proclamation? Black People had a huge part in land ownership, political representation, and building wealth. As Dr. Venus gets everything in place to launch her tech company that will provide a pathway for Black creators, artists, and entrepreneurs, it’s important to know these facts and believe in the power that Black Men and Women have in making money and excelling at business.

Instead of fighting the system, she is ready to start her own and bring those along who want a change. This week, she dives in on why she is SO done with White Men in Power, specifically the Senate. They are wielding their power in a way that shows us clearly that the same structures and power dynamic will always be in place to keep Black Americans living at the effect of White Supremacy.

Hot Mess MillionaireDating Black: Am I a Racist?Through the process of grieving through her brother’s transition due to COVID, Dr. Venus has committed to spending time and energy to become her best self. One of those actions is getting out into the dating scene and calling in the energy to be courted, wooed, and loved by a Black Man. She hired a personal trainer. Changed her diet. Even bought new shoes (that’s how serious it is!), and signed up for two dating apps that cost a pretty penny. Yet, when a White Man asked her out and she declined, she was c...2021-02-1738 min

This week, Dr. Venus opens up about the highs and lows that she has been feeling since her brother Tory transitioned on Christmas Eve due to COVID-19. She reminds us that it’s okay not to be okay and that everyone’s grieving process looks different. When life has knocked you to your knees, how do you keep going? Sometimes, even just the very smallest acts of self-care can have the largest impact on our healing. Join in and...2021-02-1035 min
Hot Mess MillionaireGet Peaceful with White Privilege for 💰💰💰In order to find your purpose and profit, you must make peace with white privilege. Dr. Venus had a huge realization recently when one of her viral videos spawned comments from the far right. She couldn’t understand where this rhetoric and hate was coming from, but then it dawned on her. They get their news and information from such different sources that it’s like trying to speak a whole other language with someone. What is clear to her is that profitability happens when you let something arise without making it about you, and you clear the energy that...2021-02-0338 minHot Mess MillionaireDC Riot Insights: How To Hear When You Don’t Want to ListenDr. Venus has a commitment to tell the truth in this world, and she invites you to do the same. It’s easy to become jaded, especially in this new Biden/Harris term that has been born in crisis, but our real power comes in our peace and ability to connect with our own higher power rather than get entangled with others. This week, Dr. Venus shares how her recent video went viral and found its way to a very hateful comment section. From that came something beautiful, a dignified and honest (but not easy) conversation with a White Ma...2021-01-2738 minHot Mess MillionaireIf Obama Had Been TrumpEbola vs. COVID. Ferguson vs. George Floyd. Government Bailout vs. Stimulus Checks. If there is even a question about impeaching Trump, we need to look at the difference in responses between how Trump has handled each crisis during his term vs. how President Obama handled his. Understanding these monumental events and their solutions (or lack of) will help give context for why the recent storming of the Capitol was handled so differently than the BLM protests.
