In this powerful episode of Issa Kickback, we dive into the realities of parenthood, co-parenting, and the difference between simply being a “baby mama” or “baby daddy” versus being an active, present parent. We unpack the roles mothers and fathers play in their children’s lives, the emotional responsibilities that come with raising kids, and how accountability, consistency, and intentional parenting shape the family experience.

This conversation covers real talk about love, responsibility, reflection, growth, and what it takes to show up for your children beyond titles.

If you’re interested in honest discussions about relationships, family dynamics, and the responsibilities that come with raising the next generation, this episode is for you.

Watch, reflect, and engage.

Healing Autoimmune Diseases Naturally w/ Vanessa, Owner of Rooted Wellness || Issa Kickback Epi. #82

Vanessa’s odyssey from near-fatal illness to vibrant health is an inspiration for anyone feeling trapped by their body’s betrayals, medical gaslighting, or emotional overwhelm. Her story teaches a fundamental lesson: healing begins when we refuse to remain trapped, when we choose to become, not what happened to us, but the person we aspire to be.

Rooted Wellness embodies this philosophy, uniting practical protocols, emotional healing, and community support. By focusing on root causes, embracing mindful nutrition, and daring to question conventions, Vanessa proves that lasting transformation is not only possible—it’s accessible to anyone willing to embark on the journey.

Every entrepreneur's story starts somewhere. For Ray, owner of Divine Shine in Quincy, the path from a car-crazy kid to a beloved business owner and community role model wasn’t straightforward. From early passion to painful setbacks, Ray’s journey is a testament to perseverance, faith, and the unspoken responsibility of entrepreneurship. Ray’s story is not just about manual labor or entrepreneurship; it’s a chronicle of resilience, humility, and impact.

Friendship is not just about having people to hang out with, it’s about building a circle that supports, challenges, and uplifts you. It’s about choosing quality over quantity, setting boundaries to protect your energy, and being willing to have the tough conversations that lead to growth. Whether you’re nurturing lifelong friendships or seeking to form new ones, remember that the most important qualities are honesty, loyalty, and kindness.As you reflect on your own friendships, ask yourself: Are you building a circle, or are you trapped in a cage? The answer could change the course of your life.
