🚨 New Episode Alert 🚨:

In this powerful episode, I'm redefining TGIF as "Thank God For EVERYTHING (TGIF) - Why We Must Thanking Him For Everyday Moments!!!" We're not just grateful for Fridays anymore, fam - we're thanking God for every second, minute, hour, day, month, year, and beyond!

Today, I'm sharing personal reflections on how God surrounds us completely - above us like an umbrella protecting from storms we don't even see coming, in front guiding us through life's maze when we hit walls and dead ends, behind us cleaning our transgressions when we fail, and beneath us as our rock foundation when we feel like crumbling. This perspective has transformed how I approach even my hardest days.

Tune in NOW: https://open.spotify.com/episode/1GQVBHytHlhM6JXjeeiUiX?si=e04b3759b0d44483

Drop me a comment about how you're redefining TGIF in your own life, and share how you've learned to thank God for the challenges as well as the victories. What everyday blessing do you typically overlook that deserves your gratitude? Let's keep building this community of continuous thanksgiving together!

Cousin Ed's Corner is not just about inspiration - we're living it daily. Share this with someone who needs to shift from "Thank
God It's Friday" to "Thank God For EVERYTHING"! 👑

In this episode, I'm challenging all of us to rethink what TGIF really means. It's not just "Thank God It's Friday" – it's "Thank God For EVERYTHING"! I'm talking about thanking Him for every moment, every second, every minute, every hour, every day, every month, every year, and beyond. When we limit our gratitude to just Fridays or just the good times, we're missing the bigger picture of God's constant presence in our lives.
Life can throw us all curveballs, and sometimes we may feel overwhelmed, but it's crucial to remember that every experience shapes us into who we are meant to be. I share a personal experience that I recently had while talking and gaining wisdom from an elderly gentleman who reminded me that it's not just about being "above the green" but about having our right mind and the ability to stand and have conversations. God's goodness goes far beyond what we typically acknowledge!
Tune in Now, as we reflect on the importance of thanking God for every moment we experience, whether joyful or challenging:
Throughout this episode, I offer prayers for those facing illness, for family members serving as caregivers, for our children of all ages, for safety outside our homes, and for peace in our workplaces. I describe how God surrounds us completely – above us like an umbrella, in front guiding our path through life's maze, behind us cleaning our transgressions, and beneath us as our rock foundation.
Lastly, I want to thank everyone who's supported this show – Mr. Moody, Queen Taralyn Michelle, our producers, fellow podcasters, social media influencers, and YOU. I invite you to engage with this community, share your thoughts, and spread the word about the uplifting messages we are sharing here at Cousin Ed's Corner.

In this episode, I’m diving deep into the world of friendships and relationships. Have you ever felt like some friends just don’t value you the way you value them? Well, I had a heartfelt conversation with my daughter about this very topic, and I want to share those insights with you.
We often overlook the small gestures that truly matter in our relationships. I like to think of them as "pitching pennies." These little acts of kindness can mean the world to someone, even if they seem insignificant. But what happens when you realize that some people won’t even pick up a "Painted Penny" for you? It’s a powerful metaphor that I believe can help us evaluate our connections and understand who truly supports us.
Join me as I explore the importance of mutual support, and how we can all be more mindful of the relationships we cherish. I'm getting personal in this one, sharing real examples from my own life and my daughter's experiences. And I'm keeping it real too – acknowledging that we/ I'm human and sometimes fail to pick up those pennies for others as well. But that's the beauty of growth, right? We recognize our blind spots and do better. This episode isn't about judging others or holding grudges; it's about understanding relationship dynamics and reducing stress by knowing which "boxes" to put people in.
So, sit back, relax, and let’s wind down together while we reflect on the value of our connections. Don't forget to follow the show, leave comments wherever you listen, and call or text me at 762-333-2032 with your thoughts. You can also leave a voice message at www.CousinEdsCorner.com that might be featured on a future episode. Remember, 'No Matter How You Cut It Or Slice It, We Are All In This Together'

In today's episode, I had the honor of sitting down with financial powerhouse Tremaine Wills. Let me tell you, this conversation is exactly what our community needs right now as we navigate this crazy start of 2025. This episode is our WAKE-UP CALL to Financial Freedom.
Tremaine shared her incredible journey from braiding hair as a 12-year-old entrepreneur to becoming a respected financial planner with her own agency. What I love most about Tremaine is how she's created a judgment-free zone for our sisters to talk about money, build wealth, and break generational cycles. She dropped some serious knowledge about sinking funds, holiday spending traps, and viewing money as a tool rather than a status symbol. Her book "Write the Vision" is providing a roadmap for financial freedom that's accessible to everyone, not just the ultra-wealthy.
🔥 FIVE MONEY GEMS YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO MISS: 🔥

The Sinking Fund Revolution – The simple strategy that's helping everyday people fund vacations, handle emergencies, and break the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle for good!
Money: Tool, Not Trophy – Why the wealthiest people never worship money (and why this mental shift is your first step to financial freedom)
Vision Before Dollars – The counterintuitive approach that has Tremaine's clients achieving their dream lives with LESS money than they thought they needed
Escape Survival Mode – The subtle signs you're still in financial survival mode (even with a good income) and Tremaine's proven path to abundance thinking
Holiday Joy Without January Pain – The brilliant system that's helping families create meaningful celebrations without the financial hangover

This conversation was so powerful that I'm bringing Tremaine back for a dedicated "Financial Freedom Friday" deep dive! And I'm putting my money where my mouth is – I'm personally sponsoring Tremaine's book "Write the Vision" for the first two listeners who leave a voicemail at 762-333-2032!

In this episode, I'm opening up about a divine full-circle moment that happened in my career just yesterday – one that mirrors a testimony I saw on TikTok two years ago. Y'all, God works in ways that will leave you SPEECHLESS sometimes!
I break down my journey from feeling stifled at a previous job where leadership changes limited my autonomy, to making the difficult decision to leave, to unexpectedly finding an opportunity with a vendor after a simple congratulatory message. What followed was a path of challenges – including a promised promotion that became a lateral move – but by staying faithful and consistent, I eventually rose to a strategic position. And here's the kicker: my former company is now my client! The very people who once undervalued me now see my worth from the other side of the table.
This testimony isn't just about career transitions – it's about trusting God's timing, staying true to yourself, and understanding that sometimes you have to go through the valley to appreciate the mountaintop. If you've experienced similar full-circle moments in your life, I want to hear from you! Visit www.CousinEdsCorner.com and leave a voicemail sharing your story – because sometimes others need to know they're not alone in their struggle.

In this episode, I share my recent experiences from a family wedding, where I had the chance to reconnect with family members I hadn't seen in a while. It was a reminder of the bonds we share and the love that exists within our families. But I also want to challenge you to think about how often you reach out to your family. Are you waiting for weddings, funerals, or big birthdays to celebrate each other? Let's change that!
I’ll provide you with some practical tips on how to maintain those connections using technology, like text messaging, to make it easier to reach out regularly. I believe that even a simple text can go a long way in showing your family that you care. So, let’s make it a point to connect more often and not just passively engage through social media.

Lastly, I want to thank all of you who've been sending messages, leaving voicemails, and showing love after last week's episode. Our community is growing, and I'm grateful for each one of you.

In today's episode of Cousin Ed's Corner, I opened my heart about something deeply personal - my experience with depression and how my faith guides me through life's challenges. I shared a powerful story from a trip to the Gulf of Mexico that taught me about God's protection even in the scariest moments of our lives.
When my daughter asked me if I ever get depressed, it sparked a conversation about how we all face dark times, but it's our response that matters. I wanted her - and all of you - to understand that God doesn't want us to quit when we're in deep waters. He wants us to fight through, to come up for air, and to use our life jackets (the people and faith that support us) when needed.
Tune In Now:
This episode wasn't just about sharing my story - it's about reminding you that God is always with you, protecting you in ways you may never even notice. I want to encourage you all to keep fighting through life’s challenges. God is always with us, guiding us and providing the strength we need to overcome. So, whether you’re feeling down or just need a reminder of God’s grace, I hope this episode brings you comfort and inspiration.
Whatever you're going through right now, I want you to know that God has something bigger for you on the other side of this struggle. Don't quit, family. Keep swimming.

In this episode, I'm talking about why we all need people in our lives who will pull up on us and stand in the gap, but who will also be there with open arms. This message is especially important now, as we navigate challenging times in our community and nation. We talk about a powerful video I recently came across of a young man being scolded by an older figure, and it sparked a lot of thoughts about how we can support one another, especially our youth. We're talking about the importance of accountability and love in our communities.
We all know that tough love can be hard to hear, but it's often what we need to grow and become better versions of ourselves. I share my thoughts on mentorship and how vital it is for us to step up and guide the younger generation. It's not just about pointing out mistakes; it's about showing love and support, helping them understand that they are better than their current circumstances.
Throughout this episode, I dive into what I call "retrospect" - that crucial moment after someone checks you, when you need to put your ego aside and really hear what they're saying. I encourage you to embrace constructive criticism and see it as a form of love. We all need those virtual hugs and moments of accountability in our lives.
Tune In Now:
This one's for everyone who's needed a wake-up call and a hug afterward. It's for the mentors standing in the gap for our youth, and for the young people trying to find their way. I'm giving y'all virtual hugs through your speakers while also keeping it real. Remember fam, we build this community together through your comments, shares, and engagement - so don't be shy about letting me know what you think. No matter how you cut it or slice it, we're all in this together, and I'm right here loving on you through every episode.
Don't forget to share this episode with your friends and family, and let’s keep the conversation going. Your support means the world to me, and together, we can make a difference!

🚨 New Episode Alert 🚨: In this episode, we're diving deep into the art of starting over and redefining what failure truly means. Recorded from The Sister Shop while literally moving things out of the story for the last time. I'm sharing raw emotions and real wisdom about why endings aren't failures—they're just the close of one season.
I break down the concept of "analysis paralysis" that keeps us stuck, share my gardening wisdom about planting multiple seeds for success, and offer encouragement to anyone who's ever had to close a door on something they loved. This isn't just about business transitions—it's about US, our resilience, and how we bounce back stronger when life doesn't go as planned.
Remember when you first learned to ride a bike? You didn't give up after the first fall. That's the spirit we need to reclaim in our adult lives and business ventures. I'm offering a special word of encouragement to anyone standing at a crossroads wondering what comes next.

In this episode, we dive deep into the real and authentic conversations that matter to us all. Today, hit different because I recorded it while literally helping clear out a The Sister Shop at Atlantic Station in Atlanta, Georgia, and I want to talk about something that hits home for many of us: the fear of starting over. That moment of transition—seeing dreams packed away—got me thinking deep about what it really means to start over.
Life is full of changes, and sometimes those changes can feel daunting. Whether it’s a career shift, a personal setback, or simply the need to reinvent ourselves, the fear of losing what we have can hold us back. But I’m here to tell you that starting over is not a failure; it’s an opportunity for growth and transformation. I’ll share some personal stories and insights that I hope will resonate with you and inspire you to embrace the journey ahead.
We’ll also explore the importance of resilience and how we can redefine what failure means. I’ll also draw some parallels between gardening and our personal lives, illustrating how nurturing our dreams requires patience, care, and sometimes a little help from others. Remember, just because something ends doesn't mean you failed—everything has its season. The real failure is never getting back up to try again, whether that means trying the same thing differently or something completely new.
Tune In Now:
This episode is especially for those of you standing at crossroads, wondering if the end of one chapter means you've somehow failed at your story. Listen in as I share why resilience isn't about never falling—it's about how we respond when we do. As always, I'm keeping it real with love because that's what family does.

In this episode, I dive deep into what makes boycotts and economic actions truly effective. Is it just about not spending for one day, or is there something more powerful we should be building toward? I share my raw, unfiltered thoughts about how we can create lasting change through consistent action rather than symbolic gestures alone. This isn't just about economics—it's about showing our collective power and building something sustainable for future generations.
I discuss the significance of a boycott and how it can serve as a powerful tool for change. I’ll share my thoughts on why it’s essential to support Black-owned businesses and how our collective actions can make a difference. We’ll reflect on historical movements led by great leaders like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X, drawing inspiration from their courage and commitment to justice.
Throughout our conversation, I’ll also touch on the importance of spirituality in our lives. It’s easy to get caught up in the chaos of the world, but I believe that connecting with God can provide us with the strength and clarity we need to navigate these times. Let’s take a moment to reflect on our past, embrace our present, and look forward to a brighter future together.

In this episode, I'm absolutely thrilled to share this powerful conversation with the amazing Coach Christal Brown. Coach Christal takes us on her journey from a little girl accidentally dropped off at a ballet class to becoming a professional dancer, choreographer, tenured professor, and now a Vision Coach helping others unlock their true potential. Her story about DIVINE MISTAKES, learning to value herself beyond external validation, and creating a path that honors her authentic self resonated deeply with me.
What struck me most was Coach Christal's insight about our past selves being the "Foot Soldiers" who fought to get us where we are today. Instead of burying or being ashamed of those earlier versions of ourselves, she encourages us to honor them as warriors who made our present possible. Her work with young women through Project Becoming is exactly the kind of initiative that makes a real difference in our community, helping the next generation define success on their own terms.
This conversation is just the beginning – we barely scratched the surface of Coach Christal's wisdom and insights. I'm already planning to have her back to dig deeper into topics around self-confidence, authenticity, and empowering our young sisters. So tune in to hear this uplifting conversation that explores dance, vision, motherhood, and the beautiful journey of becoming your authentic self.

In this episode, I share some personal reflections on a recent event that has touched my heart—the closing of The Sistah Shop, a business that holds a special place in my life. As we navigate through the bittersweet emotions of change, I want to remind you that it's okay to feel heavy, but it's also essential to rise and pivot towards new opportunities. I share personal insights about the power of community and how sometimes it just takes us as a village of support to help hold up someone's when they're struggling.
Throughout our conversation, I’ll be sharing insights on how we can support one another during tough times. Life can throw us curveballs, but together, we can uplift each other and find strength in our community.

In today's episode, I'm coming to you straight from the heart, diving deep into a conversation that's not just about Black History Month, but about our eternal legacy of innovation, creativity, and undeniable resilience. This episode is special because we're exploring the incredible achievements and contributions that our people have made – achievements that aren't just confined to February but deserve recognition every single day of the year.
Let me take you on a journey through time as we explore some mind-blowing inventions that came straight from our brilliant minds. From the stoplight keeping you safe on your daily commute to the refrigerator in your kitchen, our influence is woven into the fabric of modern life. These aren't just inventions; they're testaments to our ingenuity and proof of our undeniable impact on global progress.
I'm also breaking down how music has always been our source of strength and empowerment. From the spiritual songs that lifted our ancestors' spirits in the fields to the conscious hip-hop that educates our youth today, music has been our way of preserving history, spreading knowledge, and maintaining our power. I'm challenging all of you to share your favorite Black empowerment songs – those tracks that make you stand a little taller and remind you of your royal heritage.
We're also tackling some hard truths about how our history has been handled. We're discussing why it's crucial to educate ourselves and our children about our true legacy, not just the limited version we get in traditional education. I'm sharing some powerful insights:
Let me share with you some hidden gems from our history – brilliant inventors who changed the world but rarely get their flowers. Like Dr. Patricia Bath, who revolutionized eye surgery with her Laserphaco Probe, making cataract surgery more precise and less invasive. Or Marie Van Brittan Brown, who created the first home security system in 1966, keeping countless families safe today. Then there's Dr. Charles Drew, whose research on blood plasma saved millions of lives and established the first blood banks.
Did you know that Philip Downing invented the street letter box (mailbox) in 1891? Or that John Standard gave us a better refrigerator design in 1891? We've got Alice Parker, who patented a natural gas heating furnace in 1919. And let's talk about Garrett Morgan, who not only invented the traffic signal but also created a smoke hood that became the blueprint for gas masks, saving countless firefighters' lives.
Our brilliance doesn't stop there. Frederick McKinley Jones revolutionized the transportation industry with his mobile refrigeration unit. Alexander Miles made elevators safer with his automatic doors. And Sarah Boone? She improved the ironing board in 1892, making a household task so much easier. Madam C.J. Walker built an empire with her hair care innovations, becoming America's first self-made female millionaire. These are just a few examples of how our people have shaped modern life.
Family, this episode is more than just a history lesson – it's a reminder of who we are and the power we carry within us. I'm calling on each one of you to join this conversation, to share your knowledge, and to help spread these important messages to our youth. Remember, we are the original innovators, the creators, the problem solvers who've shaped this world in countless ways.

Thank God For Everything (TGIF) - Why We Must Thanking Him For Everyday Moments!!!
Thank God For Everything (TGIF) - Why We Must Thanking Him For Everyday Moments!!!

In this episode, I'm challenging all of us to rethink what TGIF really means. It's not just "Thank God It's Friday" – it's "Thank God For EVERYTHING"! I'm talking about thanking Him for every moment, every second, every minute, every hour, every day, every month, every year, and beyond. When we limit our gratitude to just Fridays or just the good times, we're missing the bigger picture of God's constant presence in our lives. Life can throw us all curveballs, and sometimes we may feel overwhelmed, but it's crucial to remember that every experience shapes us into who we are meant to be. I share a personal experience that I recently had while talking and gaining wisdom from an elderly gentleman who reminded me that it's not just about being "above the green" but about having our right mind and the ability to stand and have conversations. God's goodness goes far beyond what we typically acknowledge! Tune in Now, as we reflect on the importance of thanking God for every moment we experience, whether joyful or challenging: Throughout this episode, I offer prayers for those facing illness, for family members serving as caregivers, for our children of all ages, for safety outside our homes, and for peace in our workplaces. I describe how God surrounds us completely – above us like an umbrella, in front guiding our path through life's maze, behind us cleaning our transgressions, and beneath us as our rock foundation. Lastly, I want to thank everyone who's supported this show – Mr. Moody, Queen Taralyn Michelle, our producers, fellow podcasters, social media influencers, and YOU. I invite you to engage with this community, share your thoughts, and spread the word about the uplifting messages we are sharing here at Cousin Ed's Corner.

Wind Down Wednesday - The Painted Penny: What Your Response to Painted Pennies Can Reveals About You
Wind Down Wednesday - The Painted Penny: What Your Response to Painted Pennies Can Reveals About You

In this episode, I’m diving deep into the world of friendships and relationships. Have you ever felt like some friends just don’t value you the way you value them? Well, I had a heartfelt conversation with my daughter about this very topic, and I want to share those insights with you. We often overlook the small gestures that truly matter in our relationships. I like to think of them as "pitching pennies." These little acts of kindness can mean the world to someone, even if they seem insignificant. But what happens when you realize that some people won’t even pick up a "Painted Penny" for you? It’s a powerful metaphor that I believe can help us evaluate our connections and understand who truly supports us. Join me as I explore the importance of mutual support, and how we can all be more mindful of the relationships we cherish. I'm getting personal in this one, sharing real examples from my own life and my daughter's experiences. And I'm keeping it real too – acknowledging that we/ I'm human and sometimes fail to pick up those pennies for others as well. But that's the beauty of growth, right? We recognize our blind spots and do better. This episode isn't about judging others or holding grudges; it's about understanding relationship dynamics and reducing stress by knowing which "boxes" to put people in.

Financial Freedom Fridays - ft. Tremaine Wills "WAKE-UP CALL for 2025"
Financial Freedom Fridays - ft. Tremaine Wills "WAKE-UP CALL for 2025"

In today's episode, I had the honor of sitting down with financial powerhouse Tremaine Wills. Let me tell you, this conversation is exactly what our community needs right now as we navigate this crazy start of 2025. This episode is our WAKE-UP CALL to Financial Freedom. Tremaine shared her incredible journey from braiding hair as a 12-year-old entrepreneur to becoming a respected financial planner with her own agency. What I love most about Tremaine is how she's created a judgment-free zone for our sisters to talk about money, build wealth, and break generational cycles. She dropped some serious knowledge about sinking funds, holiday spending traps, and viewing money as a tool rather than a status symbol. Her book "Write the Vision" is providing a roadmap for financial freedom that's accessible to everyone, not just the ultra-wealthy. 🔥 FIVE MONEY GEMS YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO MISS: 🔥 The Sinking Fund Revolution – The simple strategy that's helping everyday people fund vacations, handle emergencies, and break the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle for good! Money: Tool, Not Trophy – Why the wealthiest people never worship money (and why this mental shift is your first step to financial freedom) Vision Before Dollars – The counterintuitive approach that has Tremaine's clients achieving their dream lives with LESS money than they thought they needed Escape Survival Mode – The subtle signs you're still in financial survival mode (even with a good income) and Tremaine's proven path to abundance thinking Holiday Joy Without January Pain – The brilliant system that's helping families create meaningful celebrations without the financial hangover Tune In Now: https://open.spotify.com/episode/5xGNdiwEO8uFlsd5kqElv0?si=b2b2c08244954ddd This conversation was so powerful that I'm bringing Tremaine back for a dedicated "Financial Freedom Friday" deep dive! And I'm putting my money where my mouth is – I'm personally sponsoring Tremaine's book "Write the Vision" for the fir

The Corner Connection - Just Wait On GOD
The Corner Connection - Just Wait On GOD

In this episode, I'm opening up about a divine full-circle moment that happened in my career just yesterday – one that mirrors a testimony I saw on TikTok two years ago. Y'all, God works in ways that will leave you SPEECHLESS sometimes! I break down my journey from feeling stifled at a previous job where leadership changes limited my autonomy, to making the difficult decision to leave, to unexpectedly finding an opportunity with a vendor after a simple congratulatory message. What followed was a path of challenges – including a promised promotion that became a lateral move – but by staying faithful and consistent, I eventually rose to a strategic position. And here's the kicker: my former company is now my client! The very people who once undervalued me now see my worth from the other side of the table. This testimony isn't just about career transitions – it's about trusting God's timing, staying true to yourself, and understanding that sometimes you have to go through the valley to appreciate the mountaintop. If you've experienced similar full-circle moments in your life, I want to hear from you!
