I believe most women want a man who is well-read, confident, self-aware, financially independent, and comfortable communicating his feelings. What concerns me is that some men act like boys by playing mind games like Catfishing, I Like What You Like, the Chameleon, and Bait and Switch. Sadly, they exemplify self-sabotaging behavior and are missing an opportunity to be with a phenomenal woman. Women, remember that you are worth more than a man with a game. Listen in and tell me what you think. R. B.'s Kitchen Talk- Where the Heart Touches the Soul

In Episode 6 titled Through the Fire, R. B. celebrates the courage and bravery of women who have risen above hardship and abuse to fulfill their purpose and realize joy and fulfillment. She encourages all women to tell their stories of triumph so other women can believe they too can rise above trauma, brokenness, and rejection. R.B. tells us that the fire we've passed through wasn't to destroy us but rather to transform us into gold. We were extracted to be refined and impassioned to empower others.

Yes, no one is perfect and this fact levels the playing field. However, our goal should always be to grow for ourselves and for those we are committed to. Growing means looking inwardly to change and address those issues that keep tugging at our heart, causing grief, frustration and anxiety for those we love. If our love is truly unconditional, we will get the help we need to grow beyond the most serious of mental health challenges.

Fine wine reflects the character of its region. It’s balanced and textured just like a healthy marriage. It takes time and work to create a great marriage and it’s not without its challenges but partners who are committed to each other have the ability to bring out the best in each other. A few key ingredients are necessary just as in the case of a fine wine.

Guilt and shame, two powerful emotions that when harbored too long can lead to hopelessness and many more negative feelings. Here’s the truth. We have all made mistakes because we’re human. Listen in and learn what to do with what I call covert agents that come to wreak havoc, restlessness and steal your sense of identity.

Nothing could be more alarming and then disheartening to learn that you are in a relationship with someone with a narcissistic personality disorder. It’s an experience like none other but you aren’t alone and although the journey has been long and at times lonely, there is hope. Like Hagar, Abraham’s concubine and the mother of Ishmael, God sees you and will send deliverance.

A healthy marriage is like a fine wine- balanced, textured, full of zest and the sweetness of a Riesling. Three elements create this experience. Listen and see for yourself.

Whatever your cycle of habit or behavior is, it can be broken through the power of the Holy Spirit, transforming your mindset by the Word of God and declaring the Word of God over that cycle- I am free because God’s Word says I am. I am absolutely loved because God says I am. In fact, Jesus gave His life for me. Therefore, I won’t fear rejection or lack anything any more. You’ve got the power baby so work it and break the cycle!!
