Cozy Womb
Hey, Apple listeners... Welcome Back to Cozy Womb podcast, season 23 will begin mid July !!! The focus this season is on : The Idea of What I would Do If I Had A Son... Before I had kids, I always imagined having sons. At least 13 of them... After kid one... I was like lawdddd, labor was hell... I might not wanna do that again. Well, I did... and it was another girl, completely different personality. Now they are 9 and 12.. I removed my tubes because I'm still single and unmarried. Two kids and experiencing single parent living... I don't need a third single...
Boy Myths Stop Here
This idea that boys need this or don't do that...
It's very limiting to who they can become.
We expect a lot more consideration and empathy when it comes to grown men. But if you sit down with those men and ask them about their upbringing and the things they were allowed to do and the things they were allowed to express you will see that it was very limited.
If you would like to raise a boy that turns into a man who is empathetic kind and willing to look out for...
The Influence On Your Sons Behavior
As parents, we do not get the last say on the influence that is on our children. When it comes to boys, we have to help guide them in the right direction of standards, values, and who good people truly are. Boys are going to choose what they want to do, when they want to do it and who to do things with.
But if you have enough, great people around your son while he's growing up, he will be more likely to make better choices on who he needs to be around. Social media, school and...
Men Take Care Of Home & Hygiene
Teach your son's that its a good thing to take care of their home and body.
Everyone doesn't get to enjoy it. People do not need all access to your home either.
Be picky.

Competence, Compassion & Capability
Raising a son is one thing, but are you raising them to think. How do they handle solving problems alone? Are they competent? Do they show compassion to other people and do they know what they're capable of?

Can't Be The Only One
We have seen the headlines the recordings and the clinch jaws and interviews as lies are being told. We know that these all these Black people did not take themselves outside and hang them themselves by trees. One incident on camera is not the explanation for them all.
We know that our children, despite where we put them in the best schools or the best clothes will still be treated unfairly because their skin.
There is no way to escape the ignorance that will come towards your child because of their blackness.

His Sexual Responsibility
This is a very important episode. It is explicit. But if your child is ready to listen to this with you just press play.
The reality is these kids today have access to so much sexually that they shouldn't that we cannot just stay in and day out not have these discussions. And there is a lot of sexual responsibility that boys should be aware of that they're not and so yeah this episode is all about that !!!

No Empty Praising Over Here
Empty praising your child is not going to build integrity, values, or standards. You're going to teach your child to perform for treats. And last time I checked, we are raising human beings, not animals. In this episode, I will discuss ways you can stop and rephrase how you want to praise your son in a better way.

Get Him A Finance Mentor
A boy who understands the value of a dollar becomes a man who understands where to put his money. I think if you can introduce money habits to boys early do so but make sure they have the basics down packed. In today's episode I explore the different age ranges of how you would teach your son about money and who to have your son around.

Moms Raising Good Men
In order to raise a good man, you have to have the qualities of a good mother.
Just because you gave birth to a child or you adopted a child doesn't mean you foster the qualities to allow that boy to become a good man. There are qualities that a boy needs from other men and other people in his life. Do you have the village to facilitate that? Let's talk.

I Love You, But I'm Not A Superhero!
Sorry, to all the people lost on 9/11
Today is a real one. Moms, please let ya son know that you are not a super hero and that should not be the expectation for any woman.
If you do not talk to your sons as they grow up with you and let them know what you do is a choice that you are making for them. This expectation of struggle becomes a norm in their minds when it comes to women. Women today are looking for a partners and men who were probably...
Teach That Boy About Rejection
Rejection is a normal part of life. Protecting your son from it or acting like they are too good to ever experience it... is setting them up for failure.
You can experience rejection in:
1.Games
2.Challenges
3.People not liking them
4.Future Jobs not hiring them

Not Making Excuses For My Son
If you want boys to become outstanding men, you have to give them space to develop different characteristics that create that.
Boys don't grow up to become great men who are leaders with ethics and empathy for other people because of magic.
Rules, guidance and discipline with challenges have to be experienced and practiced. So that means the boy moms have to let go and create spaces for their boys to develop this.
I think today a lot of moms struggle with letting go of their boys hands in life. And when you...
Teaching My Son How To Express Himself
It's is imperative that your boys learn how to use their words, expressing themselves without getting too emotional.
We can't understand you when you yelling and crying.
What are you thinking or feeling?
Why are you angry?
Just because you're a boy doesn't mean you need to break things.

Self-Conscious Boys With Emotional Fluency
In 2026, If you meet a boy who can really explain to you how they are feeling and what their thoughts are... Its a breath of fresh air.
They just grow into young men who can express themselves effectively. isn't that what we want? No more shrugs, no more I don't know's for answers. No more substance abuse for numbing, words and solutions to give.
If I was a boy Mom I would do everything I could to make sure my son had just that.

The Purpose Of The Message Over The Delivery
Let's be for real people.
The point is the kids can't read in elementary, middle school and high school.
A lot of 20 year olds, 30 yr olds and 40 year old lack comprehension in the common work place.
AI systems are replacing people who are terrible at counting and reading.
Do we really want to focus on "feelings" of what's being said vs " Purpose" ?!?

Cleaning, Hygiene and Cooking Are Human Skills
As a mom of a boy, I would definitely kill the mindset that girls clean while boys relax and play games. Not in my house in this episode I talk about how cleaning, good hygiene and cooking are human skills. The boys you raise should know how to do all of it.

<...Mom's Raising Boys W/o Men
Raising boys without a man that your son can respect and see is a gamble. 10 out of 10 I would not recommend any woman to raise their son without a great male role model. Your son needs to see who he could possibly become, and if the men around your child are not great and do not do well in life, what does your son have to look forward to?
In today's episode I talk about mothers raising their sons without men and the pros and cons of it.

Prioritize Nurture Moments
It's not hard to show up for your sons, but it does take intention. Being nurturing is not something only Moms can do that can do it also. Boys need consistent, nurturing moments throughout the day no matter if their babies toddlers little boys, young men, teenagers or a grown men. They wanna feel loved they want to feel care for and they want to feel affection. And the best place to teach affection is at home.
In this episode, I talk about different times of the day where you can show up affectionate and show nurturing...

...Be The Best Woman Experience For Him
Be The Best Woman Example
The best thing a mom can do for ner son i be a good example, Be a solid encounter for him as a baby, toddler, little boy, young man, teen. Even as a Grown Man, he needs to see you as the best woman you can be. He will gauge other women from those experiences. You gotta be real about the good/bod that will come. No over babying, no avoiding discipline, boys need that. A lot of Mom's miss loop holes in Boys because they view them an a 'baby" too...
If I Had A Son...
So many things I would do... and also avoid.
Girls are a lot emotionally, cost wise and touchy feely...
Some boys are too... but not having a son, allows you to imagine ways you would show up for one. Dating men who needed their mom's in a way they craved but never received... is a hard experience... because you hear and see the little boy inside. Women you date cannot replace that...
In this new season I explore the thoughts in different instances of what I would do & try.

Grieving The Loss of Personal Time
Personal time for a human is: therapeutic and we need balance.
Personal time for a mom... can feel like do or die... If we don't rest we could become insane. We need time to remember what we need outside of those children.
