Redefining Caregiving & The Benefits of Self-Awareness Over Self-Care with Tina Lifford

Hollywood veteran Tina Lifford has played over 100 characters in her long-standing career, including most notably, the vivacious Aunt Vi on the critically acclaimed television drama Queen Sugar. Outside of acting, Tina is the author of “The Little Book of BIG LIES,” chosen by Forbes.com as a “must-read to make 2021 your best year yet.”

In this episode, Michael and Tina discuss:
-How they met and their long-term friendship over the years
-Tina’s spiritual self-discovery and realization journey and what she learned about the Surviving Self, the Thriving Self, and the Infinite Self
-How she managed caregiving for her mom while being mindful of herself
-The dream that changed Tina’s life and inspired The Inner Fitness Project offering the tools and practices to strengthen our mental, emotional, and spiritual core, and so much more!
Michael then guides us on a brief meditation on Inner Fitness.

I am thankful for this blessed conversation. I had been so hard on myself for not being a perfect care giver. It is so difficult but this helped me to understand giving and receiving grace. I thank you both.

Beautiful podcast. I thank you so much. I knew watching this sister as an actress that it was more to her just by her role queen sugar. I think you both are blessed with this great take back your mind session. Every step I get closer and closer to defining my true self, and accepting my realities in life. Thank you, Rev Michael B!!

This is just an observation. It is sometimes difficult to follow Tina when she speaks. The excitement causes so many words to come out and I usually get lost and cannot connect the question that was asked to what she is saying. I noticed this in 2020 in a previous program she hosted. It gives me anxiety to listen.

Thank you for this conversation. This meditation.
This sacred space.
Such sweet communion.
As Ms Tina spoke all I could think of is “Peace that passes all understanding” …she’s like a tall glass of water for the soul.
The simple, sound and effective tools she shared on how to take back her mind and to calm her body is a great reminder that we truly have all we need within “inner fitness”.
Thank you for inviting her, I never knew of her before this… more of this WELLness! Such a beautiful woman inside and out. ✨

Thank you for this informative podcast. I admire Tina for empowering herself as she rose above her challenges and claimed her rightful place in this world and walk in her purpose.
A clear discourse that I was able to follow. Well articulated and flowing conversation.
She gave a wonderful insight on caregiving as well. Every word is true.
