SUPPORTING great content creators! Keisha Robinson and PJ Williams supported On Record with interviews for our recent Soul Care Session about the importance of self-validation! WATCH and learn what inspires our young adults in self-affirming their talents!
Soul Care Session: Validating Self
The journey to self-validation is not an easy one especially when you don’t receive necessary validation from those closest to you in childhood.
Psychologists say validation is a fundamental aspect of human psychology and interpersonal relationships. It’s the recognition, acceptance, and affirmation of a person’s thoughts, feelings, experiences and identity.
So many of our youth and even adults are still longing for the validation they never received growing up. So how do you self-validate?
On Record Media hosts this discussion at All Good Books in Five Points with:
- Sierra Artemus, Multimedia Journalist
- James Bostick, Registered Nurse BSN & Actor
- Jessica Vann, Licensed Professional Counselor
- Walter Griffin, High School Business Educator, Ph.D. Candidate
On Record Media Presents: Soul Care Sessions
Soul Care Sessions is a networking experience for members of the community to come together in fellowship, social-discussion, and healing through testimony. Hosted and moderated by Brandon ‘Chris’ Wilson of On Record Media , these sessions are designed to promote a positive atmosphere through connection, and healthy dialogue on engaging topics facilitated through a panel of experts and notable community members.
Session Two: Coping with Anxiety stemming from Generational Traumas will continue the conversation of deeply rooted issues in minority families that often prevent us from growth, maturity, knowledge, and elevation and ultimately cause ANXIETY! Many of us are suffering with the condition without knowledge of it, or healthy ways to cope!
We'll also continue to explore Attachment Theory and how attachment styles and generational traumas from childhood affect our ability to form friendships and relationships as adults.
Get READY to hear dynamic testimony from panelists who will speak to their own generational traumas and how they were able to break the cycle!

"There comes a point in your life when you have to flip the script on your fears!" ~ Couch with Christian says it best when addressing some of the issues and traumas that may be affecting your daily life!
IN CASE YOU MISSED - Last month's Soul Care Session on Generational Trauma gave our audience some MAJOR revelations and uncovered some hidden wounds WE as a community may not have known we were suffering. The video is a RECAP of that discussion and a preview to the continued conversation coming next month!
TOGETHER we can overcome Generational Trauma! Stay tuned for details on next month's event at Optus Bank and streaming live at On Record with Brandon 'Chris' Wilson!
Uprooting from Trauma: Setting a new Foundation for Happiness
WE ALL HAVE TRAUMAS. Some of us are managing it better than others. Some of us are battling trauma so deep, that just putting on a smile day-to-day is a struggle.
Recently, Scheri Eichelberger Francois bravely shared her testimony on Facebook of the past traumas she's been coping with for much of her life. She's had to be strong for her family, loved ones and her children. She's had to muster up even more strength just to be strong for HERSELF, and to find new reasons just to be happy.
Scheri joins "On Record with Brandon 'Chris' Wilson" to share her testimony in hopes of helping others set a NEW foundation for true happiness. Mandy Halloran and MonDarryl LaTrez, who are both mental health advocates will also be joining to share their struggles and triumphs.
TRAUMA is something we ALL have to address at one point or another in our lives, BUT IT CAN BE MANAGED! Join the discussion and share your thoughts! TOGETHER we can set a NEW foundation for HAPPINESS!
Social Media Celebrities
WE ALL KNOW one or more folks online who are ALWAYS posting photos or statuses simply looking for those LIKES. Dare we call it THIRSTY?
REMEMBER this post from LeBron James' Instagram page a few weeks ago? King James called out the self-proclaimed or 'wannabe' social media celebrities asking "...what have y'all done that's worth celebratin?" and went on to say that everyone has the "same personality and identities."
WHAT DO YOU THINK? Brand strategist, Derek D. Ross, Behavioral Specialist, MonDarryl LaTrez, and Senior Celebrity Publicist Leslie Topps share their expertise on the difference between those seeking celebrity status on the world wide web, and those contributing to social media in a positive and productive way.
Relationships: Dating in the NEW Age
Dating, whether with the intent of making casual friends, or relationship partners can be fun. Other times is can be downright frustrating!
We live in a NEW age where dating apps, and social media rule the world of dating. Endless possibilities are at our fingertips, and that creates a challenge for those who are more TRADITIONAL when it comes to getting to know someone.
Should I date multiple people?
How do I establish the method and timing of communication (talking vs. texting)?
How do I establish balance when setting my standards/boundaries?
How do I establish MEANINGFUL connections with those I date?
Professionals, Kimberly Johnson, Mandy Halloran and John Ebron will join a candid and thought-provoking discussion on "Dating in the NEW Age" on Wednesday, September 1st at 8pm to lead off our series on Relationships this month.
A Cheating Husband's Heart: The Derrick Jaxn Scandal
Self-proclaimed relationship expert, Derrick Jaxn, who built his entire empire and brand on appealing to women by putting the spotlight on deadbeat and cheating men, is now engulfed in his own scandal after admitting he too has a cheating heart, and has carried on numerous affairs with women during the four years of being married to his wife, Da'Naia Jackson, and prior when they were only in a relationship.
His response to the scandal, his self-serving admissions, video confessions putting his wife and even GOD at the center of his debauchery have gone viral and led many to calling Jaxn out as nothing more than a fraud, a philanderer and a Narcissist.
When if ever should your marital issues be public versus private?
Is wife Da'Naia Jackson doing the right thing by "standing by her man," should she be judged? There are also signs she is the victim of abuse and manipulation, and the gall of Jaxn to use his marital transgressions to further pimp his brand.
Narcissistic abuse survivor Kimberly Montford, Counselors Jessica Vann and Cory George-Davis, and Brand Strategist and Publicist, Derek D. Ross join ON RECORD Host, Brandon 'Chris' Wilson discussing the way this has played out publicly and why those who did not know Jaxn or his wife are weighing in on the viral discussion.
Breaking Unhealthy Relationship Habits
Valentine's Day 2021 is officially in the books, and while it is a day we celebrate the love of our lives, LOVE should be celebrated ALL year long. In fact, some relationships and marriages likely could use a TUNE UP right about now.
Author, Love & Success Coach Byron Jamal and Licensed Professional Counselor Kimberly Johnson are discussing ways to break unhealthy relationship habits and how to develop the intimacy you truly deserve.
Finding the path to Healing: Recovering from Narcissistic Abuse
HEALING is an intensive journey, with a destination that's not easily arrived, especially for anyone who is a victim of abuse.
I've connected with so many survivors who say not only is it difficult getting out of the relationship or marriage, it's also challenging to find THEIR path to HEALING.
Join host, Brandon Wilson, survivors and recovery coaches Tonia Moore, Suzanna Quintana, and thrivers Maxine Scott and David Eubanks who have made it their personal mission to help others on the journey to HEALING after abuse.
EVERYONE needs to know what Narcissistic Abuse entails, not only for themselves, but to identify the signs to potentially help someone who may not know they are enduring this type of abuse.
Success in Twenty-Twenty-WON
ON RECORD wants to be sure you start 2021 with a WINNING attitude! We all have goals and resolutions we want to get crossed off our list, but how can we achieve that without hitting burnout before the Spring?
My friends and professional experts, John Ebron, Zenica Chatman and Mandy Halloran are here to talk several topics including: getting clear about what goals you need to accomplish, releasing negativity, embracing a positive mindset, and keeping a pulse on your mental health and enrolling in counseling as an outlet to better deal with stress.
