Motivational Monday - The Gift of Time: How I Celebrated My Mother's Birthday

On today's episode, I’m excited to share a very special episode dedicated to my mother, who recently celebrated her 75th birthday. Join me as I reflect on the incredible impact she has had on my life and the lives of those around her. This episode is all about honoring our mothers and cherishing the moments we have with them.
As I recount the beautiful day we spent together, filled with flowers, laughter, and love, I invite you to think about your own experiences with your mother or maternal figures. Whether your mother is still blessing you with her presence or you're carrying her memory in your heart, this episode is an invitation to reflect on maternal love in all its forms - even the imperfect parts.

As a parent myself, I know we don't always get it right, but that doesn't diminish the love behind our intentions. I'd love to hear your stories too - about the mothers who've shaped your lives, the memories you cherish, or the moments you wish you could relive.

The Corner Connection - Do Not Let Anyone Negatively Influence Your Success!

On this episode, we dive deep into a topic that's been weighing on my heart after some real conversations with members of our community. We talk about the importance of not letting negative influences derail your success. In better words – "Do Not Let Anyone Negatively Influence Your Success." 
We all face those moments when someone tries to throw shade on our positive choices, whether it's pursuing education, making healthier lifestyle decisions, or practicing financial discipline. I share my own experiences with veganism and how I've faced criticism for it, not because it affected others, but simply because it was different. I ask the powerful question – why do we feel the need to criticize others who are simply trying to better themselves?
This episode isn't just about venting frustrations; it's about building a blueprint for success despite opposition. I break down practical strategies for setting achievable goals, developing thick skin against criticism, and surrounding yourself with genuine supporters. Remember, your journey is YOURS – not anyone else's to judge or direct.

Motivational Monday - Cherishing the Lessons of Our Mothers, Grandmothers, & Matriarchs

In this episode, we’re diving deep into a topic that’s close to my heart: Mother's Day. It’s a special time to honor the incredible women who’ve shaped our lives with their love, wisdom, and unwavering support. I share some deeply personal moments from my recent Mother's Day dinner, where I witnessed something truly profound.
As I listened my aunt and cousin, who are both battling dementia, spoke about their mothers and grandmothers as if they were still with us today. It touched my heart and reminded me that a mother's love and influence truly transcends time and even memory itself. For those of you who still have your mothers with you, I encourage you to cherish every moment. And for those whose mothers have passed on, I offer some thoughts on finding peace and connection even when they're no longer physically present.
The highlight of this episode is a special voice message from my own mother, who shares beautiful memories of what she learned from her mother and grandmother – from cooking daily rice and rainbow cakes to keeping a neat home and the "survival way of living." These seemingly simple lessons carry the weight of generations of love and wisdom.
So whether you're celebrating or grieving this Mother's Day season, this episode is dedicated to all the mothers who've shaped us into who we are today. Tune in now:
Don't forget to subscribe, share your thoughts in the comments, and join our growing community of listeners who are on this journey of motivation and personal growth together.

Until next time, this is your boy Cousin Ed, reminding you that love never truly leaves us.

Thank God For Everything (TGIF) - A Journey Through Life's Highs and Lows Amidst Chaos

I must be honest, this episode almost never happen. I was coming off a high from last week, feeling good, but then life started lifing. Add to that some family emergencies, and I was ready to put the mic down and walk away from the show.
But God had other plans. Just as I was about to cancel, I stumbled across a video of David Banner talking about his own struggles with depression and how Method Man helped him through it by recommending consistent habits like going to the gym. It reminded me of the book "Atomic Habits" and brought me back to why I do this podcast in the first place – this community that means everything to me.
In this episode, I dive deep into the power of gratitude and perspective – not just thanking God for Fridays, but for EVERYTHING, even our struggles. I share how sometimes we need that person in our corner to snap us out of our self-pity, or how God sends us messages exactly when we need them. 
So tune in as we discover how we can find joy and purpose even amidst chaos: 
I even get vulnerable about my struggles and share how gratitude transformed my mindset in a matter of minutes. This episode is for anyone feeling overwhelmed by responsibility or stuck in their own head. Let me be your Method Man today – the voice reminding you that you're not alone and that there's power in persistence and perspective. And to remember to THANK GOD FOR EVERYTHING....
So, sit back, relax, and join me as we Thank HIM. I invite you to share your thoughts and experiences with me. Let's keep this conversation going and support one another on this journey of life. Don't forget to leave us a voicemail at 762-333-2032.

Wind Down Wednesday - A Needed Mini Vacation

In this episode, I'm sharing something deeply personal that I hope will resonate with each of you who's struggling to put yourself first. I recently had a transformative experience when my brother from another mother – my friend of almost 30 years – insisted I extend my business trip to visit him in the Bahamas. Despite my initial resistance (yes, even I struggle with practicing what I preach!), I finally said yes to myself, and it became one of the most rejuvenating experiences I've had in years.
Join me as I take you through my journey of reconnection – not just with my friend Nelson, but with the peaceful parts of myself I'd been neglecting. There's something powerful about putting your feet in the sand and just being present that no amount of hustle can replace. I share how this experience reminded me that as we get older, true joy comes less from parties and external validation, and more from genuine connection and moments of tranquility.
I also give you a glimpse into the breathtaking Baha Mar Resort and Hotel, where Nelson's comedy show took place, and the incredible hospitality I experienced while there. But more importantly, I challenge you to identify where in your life you might need to give yourself permission to say yes to rest, to friendship, and to putting yourself first occasionally. Remember, taking care of yourself isn't selfish – it's necessary.
Thank you for being part of this growing community that values authentic conversation and personal growth. Your messages, comments, and support mean everything to me. Now I'd love to hear from you – when was the last time you prioritized your own well-being? What's your equivalent of my Bahamas trip that you've been putting off? Let's continue building this corner together where we can all learn to wind down and tune in to what truly matters. 
Ps. Bigupppppp: Paragonnights, Sawyerboy Majah Hype and Keysha E and so many more!!!!
 

The Corner Connection - Building Connections w/ Good Friends and Family

In today's episode, I’m excited to share my recent experiences and the joy of connecting with friends and family. Sometimes we need to step away from our regular programming to remind ourselves what this community is really all about – US. That's right, this podcast isn't just about me dropping motivational gems; it's about the connections we're building together as we grow.
This past weekend was truly transformative as I got to spend quality time with my brother from another mother, Nelson, someone I've been blessed to call a friend for nearly three decades. There's something powerful about those longstanding relationships that fuel our souls, you know? And what made it even more special was introducing new folks to our Cousin Ed's Corner community and seeing their genuine interest in what we're building together. Those moments of connection remind me why I started this podcast in the first place.
I'm beyond excited to share that in the coming weeks, you'll be hearing from some amazing new voices on the show – people I've connected with who have stories that will inspire, challenge, and uplift you. While I'm admittedly a bit tired (sometimes you need a vacation from your vacation, am I right?), the energy from these new connections has me fired up about the future of our corner. My brother Nelson did something incredible this weekend, and I'm going to do my best to share some footage with y'all soon.
So keep your ears open for what's coming next, and remember – this community grows stronger when we share it with others who need to hear these messages.
Drop me a comment about a long-standing friendship that's shaped your life, and share how you're building community in your own corner of the world! Let's keep growing and connecting authentically together. 💪🏾
Cousin Ed's Corner is not just about motivation - we're building family. Love on somebody today, and as always, thank you for making Cousin Ed's Corner more than just a podcast... Share this with someone who needs this message of gratitude and connection! 👑

Thank God For Everything (TGIF) - All In God's Plan: Why Every Delay is a Divine Blessing

In this episode, I dive deep into what it really means to be thankful—not just on Fridays (TGIF), but EVERY single day for EVERY single blessing. I'm talking about that complete shift in mindset that transforms how we view our daily struggles, our relationships, and even the timing of blessings in our lives.
I open up about some real conversations I had this past week that reminded me of God's perfect timing. From dealing with my own frustrations at work to concerns about my children's potential, and even celebrating with a 50-year-old friend who just bought their first home—each interaction reinforced that powerful truth: God's timing is never wrong. What looks like a delay to us might actually be divine protection and preparation.
This episode is especially meaningful to me because it's a reminder that no matter where you are in life right now, this is YOUR season. Maybe you're feeling stuck, maybe you're feeling like you're behind where you "should" be—I want you to know that God has you exactly where you need to be. Those roots might feel cramped right now, but maybe you're just getting ready for a bigger pot! I share the scripture from Matthew 6:34 that's been guiding me through moments of anxiety and how letting go of control has opened my eyes to unexpected blessings.
Tune in, share your thoughts, and let me know how you're finding gratitude in your own life journey. Don't forget to leave us a voicemail at 762-333-2032. We'd love to hear your thoughts! 📞💬 And remember to follow us on Twitter, IG, FB, and TT @cousinedscorner for more updates and exciting content.

This episode is not just about my father; it’s a tribute to all parents and elders who have shaped us into who we are today. I believe we all have these figures in our lives - people who've pushed us, believed in us, and sacrificed for us. This episode is an invitation to recognize their contributions and express our appreciation while we can. Whether your parents are still with you or their legacy lives on in your heart, I encourage you to reach out and have those meaningful conversations.

The Corner Connection - Graduation Season Survival Guide

In this episode, I dive deep into why we should celebrate these achievements, whether it's kindergarten, high school, or a doctorate program. I share my thoughts on how graduations represent more than just academic accomplishments – they're powerful signs of progression, determination, and the ability to sacrifice for greater goals.
I couldn't help but get personal in this episode, sharing my own parental journey as my daughter approaches her senior year and prom season. Man, I'm not ready for my baby girl to grow up! But that's life, right? We keep moving forward, celebrating each milestone while preparing for the next. This episode is really about recognizing those who've put in the work and supporting them as they transition to new chapters.
Throughout the episode, I emphasize the importance of community support during graduation season. Whether it's sending a congratulatory card, offering words of encouragement, or simply acknowledging the accomplishment, these gestures matter. They remind graduates that their hard work is seen and valued. I also touch on how graduation is one of our first formal experiences with progression – similar to moving from a crib to a bed or getting out of diapers – these are all symbols of growth that deserve recognition.
Tune in Now:

Wind Down Wednesdays - You Never Know What God Is Preparing You For

On today's episode, I take you behind the scenes of how Cousin Ed's Corner came to be. I never planned to be consistently behind the mic, but looking back, I can see how every experience was preparing me for this journey.
From my early days with Cousin Moody on "Mr. Moody's Neighborhood" to casual recordings sent to friends during COVID, to a chance encounter in a vegan group chat that changed everything—this story is all about divine timing. I share how a woman named Taralyn Michelle heard something in my voice that I hadn't fully recognized myself, pushing me to invest in equipment and take this platform seriously.
Four seasons later, I'm humbled by the growth of our community and the connections we've made. This episode is a reminder that sometimes the things we're not actively searching for end up finding us when we're ready. God puts people in our path for a reason—angels disguised as strangers, friends, or even guest who become part of our journey.
This episode is not just about my story; it's about recognizing the opportunities that come our way and the importance of connecting with others. Tune in Now:
So wind down with me as I reflect on the beautiful unpredictability of life when we surrender to God's plan. If you've been wondering "what's next" in your journey, this episode might just be the sign you need to recognize the opportunities already in front of you.

Motivational Monday - No Greater Love 'The True Meaning of God's Sacrifice"

In this episode, I take you on a journey through time - from my childhood memories of Easter Sunday best to my college years when I drifted from faith, and finally to how becoming a father brought me full circle in understanding God's love. I share those precious memories of sunrise services, dying Easter eggs at my grandmother's house, and the excitement of getting that fresh Easter suit off layaway. Y'll remember...
I also take you on my personal journey of faith, recounting how I rediscovered my connection to God during my college years. I talk about my recent church visit and how seeing the younger generation experience what I experienced brought everything into perspective. But more importantly, I dive deep into what the sacrifice of Christ really means.  
We'll explore the profound love and sacrifice of Jesus Christ and how it mirrors the love we have for our own children. It's a motivational reminder to honor those sacrifices and appreciate the blessings in our lives.

Thank God For Everything (TGIF) - The Greatness WithIn You

In this episode, we’re diving deep into the transformative power of self-love and gratitude. I believe that understanding who we are and embracing our divine purpose is essential for living a fulfilled life. As always, I share my thoughts on why we should Thank God For Everything, not just Fridays, and how this mindset can shift our perspective on life.
We often find ourselves seeking validation from others, but I want to remind you that true acceptance comes from within. I’ll discuss how we can fulfill our God-given purpose and the importance of serving our communities. Whether you’re a gardener, a cook, or a professional in any field, there’s a calling for you that can make a difference in the lives of others.
What makes this conversation so important is that it challenges us to look inward rather than outward. I talk about God's cup that He's set aside for each of us, and how we're meant to fill that cup by completing divine assignments in our lives. Even though we'll stumble and fall sometimes, the key is getting back up and continuing to pursue what God has called us to do.

Wind Down Wednesday - Finding Your Safe Space

In this episode, I want to talk about something we all need but often overlook: the importance of winding down and taking time for ourselves. Life can get hectic, and it’s easy to forget to pause and breathe.
Join me as I opened up about my own struggles with making relaxation a priority. We all get caught up in the hustle – working, fixing problems, dealing with "life being life" – that we forget to create space for ourselves. I shared my personal unwinding rituals like taking walks while listening to music, or simply sitting by the lake watching God's creation. I believe that everyone deserves a safe space to unwind, and I want to encourage you to find what works for you. Whether it’s reading a book, soaking in a hot bath, or simply watching the sunset, it’s crucial to carve out time for self-care.

Motivational Monday - Chasing Personal Records: How Small Wins Lead to Big Success!

On today's episode, we're talking about personal growth. This conversation was inspired by my daughter's recently achieving her Personal Record (PR) in both of her events this weekend track meet.   it got me thinking about how we can all apply this mindset to our everyday lives and how these personal victories add up and create momentum in our lives.
What struck me most this weekend was how my daughter wasn't measuring herself against the kids who've been doing track for years. Instead, she was competing with herself, pushing to beat her own previous best. And isn't that what life is all about? Setting your own goals, tracking your own progress, and celebrating when you surpass what you thought was possible – that's the recipe for continuous improvement and success.
See my daughter achieve her PR reminded, the key is knowing where you're starting from and having a clear goal of what you want to beat. You don't need to worry about what anyone else is doing – just focus on being better than you were yesterday. That's what I'm challenging each and every one of you to do in your own lives. Remember, there's nothing more satisfying than knowing you've outdone yourself!
Tune in now:
Let's talk about setting and smashing those personal records together. As always, I appreciate you being part of this journey – make sure to like, follow, and share the show, or leave a comment at CousinsEdCorner.com.

In this episode, we're diving deep into the power of prayer and the importance of recognizing the blessings in our lives. I believe that no matter what challenges we face, there's always something to be thankful for.

We also take a moment to reflect on the global challenges we face and the importance of praying for those in need. It's a reminder that while we may have our struggles, we are fortunate in many ways, and we must extend our compassion to others.
