Episode Description: Jessica B. Harris may have been born and raised in New York City, but she has Tennessee roots through her father and has spent much of her life split between homes in the Northeast and the South – specifically New Orleans. For more than fifty years, she has been a college professor, a writer, and a lecturer, and her many books have earned her a reputation as an authority on food of the African Diaspora, as well as a lifetime achievement award from the James Beard Foundation. A few years back, Netflix adapted her book, High on the Hog: A Culinary Journey from Africa to America , into a 4 part docuseries. And I’m very proud to say that she’s a longtime contributor to Southern Living with a regular column called The Welcome Table. This episode was recorded in the Southern Living Birmingham studios, and Sid and Jessica talked about her mother’s signature mac and cheese, the cast-iron skillet she’d be sure to save if ever her house were on fire, and her dear friend, the late New Orleans chef Leah Chase.

Ep. 292 - Rocket ride to your bigger and better life 29:45

5 days ago29:45

29:45

When you’re heartbroken, your “bigger and better life” can feel a million miles away. Like something that happens someday if you can just survive the now. But what if the life you want isn’t actually far off… you’re just not stepping into the rocket that’s sitting right in front of you? In this episode, Braveheart Colleen and I discuss how we delay our own healing and growth by waiting for the ‘right time’ instead of recognizing the acceleration that’s available right now. If you’re feeling stuck or like things are moving painfully slow, this conversation is your invitation to shift gears, get in the rocket, and make real, tangible progress toward the life you say you want.

12:50

You’re furious and you can't stop thinking about it. Your ex said or did something you completely disagree with, and even though you understand how they might see it that way, you know they’re wrong. The anger feels endless, and the more you think about it, the worse it gets. In this episode, I’m breaking down why rage after a breakup sticks around longer than it should, why it’s really there, and how to finally move past it without needing your ex to agree with you. You’ll learn the hidden role anger is playing in your healing, the three-step process to break out of the rage cycle, and how to take your power back when you’re stuck in mental arguments you can’t win. If you feel trapped replaying what they said and how wrong they were, you cannot miss this episode. The Get Over Your Ex Program: https://dorothyabjohnson.com/getoveryourex/…
