2025 is upon us and Gracefully Imperfect is back to co-journey with you; the person, the soul - confronting or challenged with emotional vulnerability and embracing human beingness.
In this episode, we explore Shame - what it is, how it manifests, relational and mental health implications, and explorative seeds to identify the source or root of Shame. All in the context of my personal experience as Black father and husband; however, hopefully from this intimate reflection, you draw parallels, become inspired, and develop a sense of curiosity.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
