In this episode, we’re talking about the messy, unpredictable, and downright absurd nature of grief—or as it sometimes feels, like a bald-headed monkey in a bad wig.
Ethel, comedian first and a guard dog second.
We honor the memory of Ethel, a tiny Chihuahua with the fierce spirit of an 80-pound Doberman who ruled the house, barked at motion detectors, and hid behind her human when things got too real. We also dive deep into the heavy, often misplaced guilt that comes with losing a pet, and discuss the practical, difficult reality of "sitting out life." While waiting for therapy or medications to reach a steady state, how do we begin to increase our participation in the world again? Join me for a raw, honest conversation about love, loss, and the slow climb back into life.

On May 7th, my world changed when I lost my 6.5-pound Chihuahua, Ethel Mertz. She was my everything, and her absence left a massive void. In this deeply personal episode, I share my journey of crawling my way back into life after profound loss. Grief is a bald-headed monkey in a bad wig—it’s ugly, it’s chaotic, and it shows up uninvited—but healing comes when we choose to keep going anyway.
The Art of the "Off" Switch
In this episode of TNFro is Reading, Felicia Baxter moves beyond the hustle culture narrative to explore the necessity of radical rest. We’re stepping away from the screens and into the "Soul of the Valley"—a curated, luxury retreat experience designed specifically for leaders who are tired of managing everyone else’s needs but their own. Felicia breaks down the philosophy of finding a "softer altitude," the power of intentional unplugging, and the details of her upcoming all-inclusive immersion at The Glamping Collective.
What You’ll Learn
Why Rest is a Leadership Skill: How constant "on" behavior leads to diminishing returns and why intentional downtime is non-negotiable for high performers.
The "Soul of the Valley" Experience: A look inside a transformative weekend featuring private luxury dome accommodations, restorative sound baths, and guided mindfulness workshops.
Curated Culinary Healing: A preview of the farm-to-table menu designed to nourish the soul, featuring local Chattanooga flavors.
Investment in Self: Understanding the value of an all-inclusive, curated sanctuary versus a standard vacation.
Episode Details
Retreat Location: The Glamping Collective (Chattanooga, TN)

The reading list for the Soul of the Valley retreat focuses on wellness and healing, featuring books that are lighter in tone but deeply immersive. The selected books, “It’s Complicated” by Terry McMillan and “Singing in the Comeback Choir” by B.B. Moore Campbell, align with the retreat’s theme of renewal and reconnection, offering uplifting and engaging narratives.
“Heart and Hustle, Houston” is a docuseries produced by Jesse Collins Entertainment that showcases the lives of six successful women in Houston. The show delves into their personal and professional struggles.
Amanda Boulo’s downfall on Summer House is examined, revealing her manipulative and abusive behavior towards Kyle. Her privileged background allowed her to play the victim and weaponize her pain, ultimately leading to her calculated betrayal of Sierra Miller for Wes Wilson. This act exposed her true nature and alienated her from former allies like Paige.

On May 7th, my world changed when I lost my 6.5-pound Chihuahua, Ethel Mertz. She was my everything, and her absence left a massive void. In this deeply personal episode, I share my journey of crawling my way back into life after profound loss. Grief is a bald-headed monkey in a bad wig—it’s ugly, it’s chaotic, and it shows up uninvited—but healing comes when we choose to keep going anyway.
Healing isn’t a destination; it’s a daily practice of showing up for yourself with a clear head and a grateful heart. I’m diving into my personal "wellness reset" and the daily rituals that keep me grounded: from seated morning Zumba to get the blood pumping, to a mindful, system-flushing herbal tea blend (ginger, rosemary, lemon balm, and basil), and of course, that essential morning cup of single-origin Kenya coffee from FB Roasters.
We also explore the mental nourishment of reading, ancestral practices, and how it all connects to the Afro-Druid ethos of interconnected healing. Plus, I share a hilarious cautionary tale about accidentally making my French roast a little too strong this week!
Reset With Me: Valley of the Soul Retreat
I am hosting an intimate wellness retreat right here in Chattanooga at the Glamping Collective from July 23rd through July 26th. With only 10 spots available, this is your opportunity to quiet your soul, enjoy solitude or fellowship, and receive life through yoga, tai chi, sound baths, and guided meditation.

I am going through a time right now, and I don't have the energy or drive to create new episodes. I will be taking my own advice and will be seeking clarity. Thanks for understanding and listening.
Revisit Setting Intentions...Pope Leo Still Kicking the Knowledge; Sun Tzu Could Not Have Imagined New Age Chinese or 50 Cent Level of Petty.
Revisiting this episode because sometimes you have to repeat yourself for it to stick...
If you believe God has healed you from a physical illness, mental illness, or some type of imbalance, why are you still moving the same way you did to break your body so much down to your genetic code, or in an alternate reality, or your credit score in the single digits?
What if what you believe is not a true Godly revelation but your own self-centered counsel?
Truth comes in many forms.
What has been draining your spirit?
5 types of people to avoid to navigate the next chapter in life in peace and freedom, and not chaos.
If someone's constant complaining suffocates the joy, God is trying to nourish in you, then you must protect your inner sanctuary.
The second type is the manipulator. This is the most subtle and often the most painful. Manipulation does not come with shouting. It comes wrapped in words that sound like care, like duty, like obligation. Manipulators use guilt to control. They speak of love but demand submission. God NEVER weaponizes guilt. Therefore, every person who steals your freedom is damaging the gift God placed in you.
3rd type
They remind you of old mistakes, not to heal you, but to diminish you. They keep you fixed in an outdated portrait of who you once were, refusing to see the grace God has formed in you. Your past is not a weapon for others to wield.
4th Darkness Bearers
one who carries darkness. Not always in obvious ways, not always with dramatic sins, but with a presence that pulls the soul away from
the light. These are the people who normalize what leads you away from God, who diminish the seriousness of sin, who feed resentment, who speak lightly of what wounds the conscience, who invite you into anger, division, or habits that cloud the clarity of prayer.
A neighbor arrives not with warmth but with gossip that stains the mind. A relative comes not with compassion but with burdensome anger that pulls the spirit into old conflicts.
5th Silent but just as deadly
This cold silence is not the silence of contemplation. It is the silence of indifference. It is the silence that neither builds nor comforts.
A relative who shows no interest in your well-being. A friend who never asks how your heart is. A companion who takes but never gives.
Your soul is too close to eternity to be entangled in the shadows of others. Rise above the storms of others. You will live the later years as God intended, not in confusion, but in
clarity, not in exhaustion, but in grace.
Pope Leo is still kicking the knowledge. Navigate to Pope Leo Speaks on 5 Types of People to Avoid that are Peace Wreckers to view the video in its entirety.
No, I am not Catholic. But, this Pope Leo XIV is literally a "cousin". And has emphatically stated he is not MAGA.
As the first American-born pope, has said that his nationality means that people cannot say he "doesn't understand the United States," as they did with Pope Francis. This statement indicates that he feels his perspective is uniquely informed and that he will be more effective in his engagement with the US government.
He has expressed support for US bishops who took a stance against the Trump administration's deportation policies. By doing so, he is indirectly criticizing the administration while also encouraging other bishops to follow suit.
While Pope Leo XIV has stated that he wants to avoid "partisan politics," he has also said that he is not afraid to "raise issues" that are related to the Gospel. This creates a fine line that he seems willing to cross, and his comments on human dignity, immigration, and wealth inequality can be interpreted as a moral and religious critique of the administration's policies.
I am not a Communist nor a sympathizer of the autocratic regime in power in China. But, I admire the shade. Leaving this felon administration on hold listening to #Obama speeches is classic!! Even Sun Tzu could have anticipate the level of shade of the new age Chinese nor 50 cent for that matter. #pettylujah

Peace isn't just a feeling; it's a powerful tool for navigating life.
It brings clarity by decluttering your mind, so you can see what's truly important and make better decisions. 🧠
It gives you wisdom by helping you understand yourself and the world around you without the noise of anxiety. 🧘♀️
It builds strength that's not about being tough, but about staying calm under pressure and recovering from setbacks. 💪
Think of it as a way to control the "chaos" in your life, turning confusion into purpose and stress into resilience.
I walk in peace, my mind filled with clarity. I release the fear of not making a positive difference, trusting that my actions, guided by this inner calm, create a meaningful impact on humanity. I embrace financial success not as a measure of my worth, but as a tool that amplifies my ability to do good. My path is one of purpose, prosperity, and profound tranquility.#PeaceOfMind #Mindfulness #InnerStrength #Clarity #Wisdom
🏈 The 'Great' Emmitt Smith Financial Strategy 🤑
Emmitt Smith, NFL's all-time leading rusher, is now running... from a Ponzi scheme. He and TD Jakes-endorsed businessman Johnny Wimbrey allegedly got scammed out of $500K by a company called Traders Domain FX, a "forex" trading firm that was more Ponzi than profit. Guess even a Hall of Famer can fumble the financial ball.
🏦 The Berkshire Bank 'Customer Service' Model
Meanwhile, Berkshire Bank is facing a lawsuit for allegedly "aiding and abetting" a $100 million Ponzi scheme.
Chapter 8 of Trickster-A Parable. Pre-Pox and Satoshi Nakamota
I will also run through RHOC and #LAHHA, who is going to tell Yandy Smith and Rasheeda that neither is Queen of ATL and it's still Mona Scott Young's Franchise?

The "Big Mad" Energy 🥂🔥
The Martyr Reality Check: We’re calling out the "professional martyrs" and lifelong haters who treat misery like a competitive sport. 🏆🙄
Stop Asking Permission: If you wait for a hater’s blessing to level up, you’ll be stuck in a house that’s falling down while they watch. 🏚️🚫
The Personal Growth "Insult": Why some people view your success as a personal attack on their sacrifice. (Spoiler: That’s a "them" problem). 💅✨
Brace for the Big Mad: Since they were going to be salty anyway, you might as well give them a high-end, luxury reason to stay bothered. 🌊🧂
Bottom Line: Stop playing small to keep the peace with people who thrive on chaos. We’re upgrading the house and the life. Stay mad! ✌️🏗️
If you've been waiting for a sign to finally take that luxury leap, this is it.
I've got some news that feels almost too good to share, but DAI travel.

Availability is extremely limited. These spots opened up because someone else couldn't make it, and in the world of luxury travel, these "guest transfers" disappear faster than a cold drink on a hot day in Hvar.

Final deep dive, in Federation.
People still are moving crazy on WhatsApp, but evidently, they do.
Why, and why would someone think Eric Benet, Eric MF-in Benet, would be sliding into my DMs or anybody's DMs on WhatsApp or otherwise?
Spotting the Mirage: A Quick Guide
If you find yourself being courted by a "celebrity" in your notifications, here is a quick checklist to keep you from becoming a Catfish episode:
The Blue Check is Non-Negotiable: If they claim to be a public figure and don't have a verified badge, it’s a fake. If they say, "This is my private account," it’s still a fake.
Grammar Matters: Celebrity teams usually have people (like me!) writing their copy. If "Eric Benét" is misspelling his own name or using phrases like "Kindly send me your WhatsApp digits," it’s a scammer, likely from a different time zone.
The Ask: Celebrities sell tickets, merchandise, and music. They do not sell "private chat access" via Steam cards or Ethereum.
Reverse Image Search: Take a screenshot of their profile picture and run it through Google. 99% of the time, you’ll find the original source of the photo from a red carpet event five years ago.
Check out my Instagram reel draggin this scammer. Like, comment, and share often.
The Formula Fatigue Mic-Drop:
I’m not invested in RHOBH, Belles, or Huntsville because I’m tired of watching re-runs of the same rigged simulation. The formula is simple: invite us in, fetishize the lifestyle, gaslight the truth, and fire whoever doesn't play the 'victim.'
I’m done watching the 'Hungry Hippos' snap at plastic marbles while the world is on fire. I want the Bozoma Audit. I want the Kobayashi Maru where the hero actually hacks the system and walks away with their dignity intact. If the meeting isn't about Checkmate, then consider me Adjourned.
This is an AI generated bookcover that I would actually buy and read poolside.
Give me the Girardi receipts, the federal trials, and the 'Ice Queen' fallout. At least Erika Jayne knows she’s in a simulation that’s crashing.
I’m passing on the 'Poor-rit Novella.' I don’t need 300 pages of a woman with an 800k foreclosure and 8 million in debt trying to teach me about 'etiquette.' That isn't a memoir; it’s a Delusional Manifesto.

Lessons for the "Solo RV" Life
Logistics vs. Physical Ability: The difficulty of managing hookups and setup when your body is depleted.
The New "Pre-Flight" Checklist: * Prioritizing hydration protocols (Liquid IV, electrolyte powders) before the sweat starts.
The necessity of organization: An unorganized RV + a depleted body = a dangerous combination.
Closing Thought: The Anti-Inflammatory Mindset
Internal & External Peace: You can't heal systemic inflammation if you are constantly triggered by family or physically dehydrated.
The Goal: A resurfaced pool deck, a safe home, a retirement free of guilt, and a body that is properly fueled for the road ahead.
Harrison Bay Mantra:
"My peace is non-negotiable, my signal is low, and my hydration is high."
Protecting from mental depletion and financial Depletion, the scams of life.
Camping at Harrison Bay State Park is a mixture of tactical survival, menopausal heat management, and the literal logistics of managing human waste in a small space.
It’s beautiful out there by the lake, don’t get me wrong. But "beautiful" doesn’t pay the bills when you’re navigating osteoarthritis in a thirty-foot rig. Let’s dive into the reality check.
The Final Debrief
Overall, the Harrison Bay experience was positive, but it required significant tactical adjustments. RV living isn't just about where you’re parked; it’s about how you adapt to the environment, your body, and the gear you bring with you.
Whether I’m grinding up fresh beans from FB Roasters or warding off mosquitoes with a can of Hot Shot, the goal remains the same: staying functional, staying caffeinated, and staying real.

Shore Leave: The Intel Briefing Tactical Reading List
Shore leave deserves better than a random airport paperback. When your itinerary includes private transfers, polished marinas, and long golden hours on deck, your reading list should carry the same sense of precision. At Dale's Angels Inc., we love the pairing of tactical storytelling and luxury travel: books with sharp instincts, high stakes, and just enough style to feel at home beside an espresso on the aft deck.
As part of our "Far From Beale Street" theme, we’ve reframed this collection as an essential reading kit for agents on shore leave. These picks lean toward tactical narratives, high-stakes heroism, and smart, immersive worlds that fit beautifully into a refined travel experience. You can browse the full list here: Intel Briefing Tactical Narratives & High Stakes Heroism.

Pope Leo XIV’s first Easter message, where he called for global peace amidst conflicts like the Russia-Ukraine war and the US-Israeli war on Iran. The "messy" irony lies in the transition from a solemn papal address on world "ravaged by wars" to the interpersonal "messiness" and psychological pathology discussed in the following segments.
Guarding the Reservoir: Physical & Emotional Rebalancing
1. The Professional Martyr: Recognizing the Bait
Decoding Passive-Aggression: Analyzing the "I’d love to just come float" comment. Recognizing it as a "loaded" statement meant to trigger guilt about your success, your pool, and your upcoming retirement.
The Approval Trap: Acknowledging that they don’t approve of your expenditures (pool resurfacing/safety) and why you no longer need their "stamp of approval" on your financial freedom.
Protecting Your Space: Understanding that their inability to relax is her burden, not a flaw in your hospitality. You aren't "pulling her in" anymore; the pool is closed, and so is the door to her drama.
2. Healing from Past Emotional "Inflammation."
The DC & Birthday Lessons: Reflecting on past vacations and birthdays ruined by a professional martyr
The "Emergency" Pattern: The martyr's lack of planning or refusal to make hard choices became your emergency.
Breaking the Cycle: Declaring that early retirement and your "new" life will not be a staging ground for their crisis-management.
3. The Physical Toll: Menopause & The Electrolyte Crash
The Hormone Shift: Discussing the transition off HRT and the reality of "Black Girl Vitamins"—they help, but the body’s chemistry is still in flux.
The Sweetwater Incident: A deep dive into the "Full Body Crash."
The danger of severe night sweats leading to "free water" loss and electrolyte depletion.
The symptoms: Weakness in hands, knee pain, and full-body aches that feel like a setback in the anti-inflammatory journey.
The Rebalancing Window: Acknowledging that it took 24+ hours to recover, highlighting how much more fragile our baseline is during hormonal shifts.
4. Lessons for the "Solo RV" Life
Logistics vs. Physical Ability: The difficulty of managing hookups and setup when your body is depleted.
The New "Pre-Flight" Checklist: * Prioritizing hydration protocols (Liquid IV, electrolyte powders) before the sweat starts.
The necessity of organization: An unorganized RV + a depleted body = a dangerous combination.
Planning for Weakness: Admitting that "muscle-ing through" isn't a strategy anymore; planning for physical conservation is.
5. Closing Thought: The Anti-Inflammatory Mindset
Internal & External Peace: You can't heal systemic inflammation if you are constantly triggered by family or physically dehydrated.
The Goal: A resurfaced pool deck, a safe home, a retirement free of guilt, and a body that is properly fueled for the road ahead.
Harrison Bay Mantra:
"My peace is non-negotiable, my signal is low, and my hydration is high."
Protecting from mental depletion and financial Depletion, the scams of life:
Just like you are setting boundaries with your sister by turning off your Wi-Fi calling at Harrison Bay, your listeners need to set "Financial Boundaries."
Rule #1: No federal agent will ever come to your house for a "cash pickup."
Rule #2: If they tell you to lie to your bank teller, they are 100% a criminal.
I'm heading to Harrison Bay to get away from the noise, but the 'noise' isn't just family drama—it's these high-tech predators. Whether it's a martyr sister trying to steal your joy or a scammer trying to steal your retirement, the solution is the same: Disconnect. Verify. Protect your peace."

Refusing the Script: "Gamer Recognized Game" also applies to Boz’s refusal to "play dumb" for a storyline. She is depicted as someone who sees the "smoke and mirrors" of reality TV wealth and calls it out, such as auditing the legitimacy of "manifestation" businesses.
The Exit Strategy: Because she recognizes the "game" has a shelf life for women of color (often lasting only three seasons), she is
