Thank God For Everything (TGIF) - He Is Good In EVERY Season
Friday Dec 05, 2025
Friday Dec 05, 2025
On today's episode, we're diving deep into one of the most transformative spiritual practices I've discovered: gratitude in EVERY season. Not just when life's perfect. Not just when the blessings are obvious. We're talking about saying "Thank You, God" from the hospital bed, from the grief, from the loss, from the uncertainty that keeps you up at night.
Here's what hit me this week—I realized that we thank God when we get the scholarship, when the marriage works, when the job promotion comes through. But what about when we lose someone we'll never see again? What about when the toxic relationship ends? What about when we're facing something as heavy as a terminal diagnosis? THAT'S when real faith shows up. That's when gratitude becomes a spiritual revolution. And family, if you're going through something unbearable right now, if you're wondering why, if you're struggling to find anything to be grateful for—this episode is for you.
We're exploring the concept of the 11th hour and 59 seconds—that critical moment when you've done all you can, when hope feels impossible, and God just SWOOPS in and changes everything. But more than that, we're talking about recognizing His protection in the everyday miracles we almost miss. The car that just missed you. The job loss that redirected your path. The friendship that fell away when it was hurting you. God's been working the whole time. One of the most powerful moments in this episode comes from a faithful family member who's been walking with God for over 40 years. Her testimony about letting God in when life goes crazy and trusting that whatever happens is exactly what He wanted—it might be the breakthrough you've been waiting for.
I want to be real with you—this show is my meditation, my therapy, my moment to release and Thank God for ALL of you. And I'm inviting you into that space. Tap in to this episode and let's do this together: https://linktr.ee/cousinedscorner Send me YOUR story. What's your 11:59 moment? When did God come through for you in a way you didn't see coming? Text 762-333-2032, hit me with a voicemail at CousinEdsCorner.com, or slide into my DMs @CousinEdsCorner. Your testimony matters. Your story blesses the whole family. And if this episode resonates with you, share it with someone who needs to hear that they're protected, that they're not alone, and that God's got them in every single season.
Remember— 'No Matter How You Cut It Or Slice It, We Are All In This Together'

Motivational Monday - Refill Your Cup Before the Holiday Rush
Monday Dec 01, 2025
Monday Dec 01, 2025
On today's episode, we're diving deep into something that most important to me and —and I'm betting it's important to you too. Life is not promised. Tomorrow isn't guaranteed. So what are we doing TODAY to take care of ourselves?
We're talking about REAL health consciousness. We're breaking down why the holiday season is the PERFECT time to refill your cup before you run on empty. I'm sharing a fitness challenge that's been circulating—one that's about carrying half your body weight—and explaining why it matters for YOUR health journey. But more than that, we're talking about meditation, rest, nutrition, and all those "small things" we've been neglecting that are actually FOUNDATIONAL to who we are.
Here's what I want you to know: Without you here—healthy, whole, and taking care of yourself—who's going to be able to live out their purpose? Whether it's the gym, a staycation, sitting outside in nature, or finally starting that meditation practice, it's TIME. And I'm challenging you to document your journey. Record your progress. Let that camera be your accountability partner. When you look back in a year and see how far you've come, you'll understand why I'm pushing this so hard.
This isn't just motivation—this is a lifestyle. This is about honoring the body God gave you and remembering that self-care ISN'T selfish. Tap in to get the full message: https://linktr.ee/cousinedscorner
Drop me a comment about what YOU'RE committing to this week for yourself. Are you hitting the gym? Starting meditation? Taking that staycation? I want to hear it, and I want you to share this episode with someone in your life who needs this reminder that they MATTER. Let's keep building and celebrating our commitment to health and wholeness together. 💪🏾
Connect with Cousin Ed: 762-333-2032 or @CousinEdsCorner on all platforms. Cousin Ed's Corner isn't just about motivation—we're LIVING it. Share this with your family and let's hold each other accountable to the health and self-care we all deserve! 👑

Thank God For Everything (TGIF) - Thankful Memories
Friday Nov 28, 2025
Friday Nov 28, 2025
Today's episode is hitting straight from the heart, and I need you to tap in. We're diving deep into something that many of you are carrying right now—grief, loss, and the beautiful reality that our loved ones never truly leave us. We're talking about your grandparents, your aunts, your uncles, your friends who've passed on. We're talking about why YOUR stories about THEM matter more than you could ever imagine.
This isn't just about nostalgia or looking backward. This is about understanding that legacy lives through YOU. The only way our people stay alive is when we speak their names, share their stories, and pass their wisdom to the next generation. In this episode, I'm getting vulnerable about my own journey—about my grandfather James (who I named my son after), about my grandmother Daisy, and about those small moments that shaped my entire life. These weren't big, flashy moments. They were quiet. They were simple. But they changed EVERYTHING in me and made me who I am today.
You know what hits me the most of the holidays, we all will one day have our number called. We all hope to be remembered by our loved ones. Let's give God Thanks for today. And if you're feeling that weight, that same missing of your loved ones, I want you to know: You're never alone. They're watching over you. God's protection surrounds you like an umbrella. Your angels are guiding your footsteps. This is TGIF—Thank God for Everything—and today we're Thanking God for every single person who shaped who we are.
Tune in now: https://linktr.ee/cousinedscorner
So here's my challenge to you: After you listen, go tell somebody about your people. Don't keep it to yourself. Leave me a voicemail at CousinEdscorner.com and share the story that changed your life's trajectory. Tell me about the person who made you who you are. Drop a comment. Send me a DM. Let's celebrate them together because when we do, their legacy never dies. It lives through us. It lives through our children. It lives through the stories we tell. This is Cousin Ed's Corner—we're not just talking about living authentically, we're LIVING it. Share this episode with someone who needs to remember that they're never walking alone. 💪🏾 Connect with me: 762-333-2032 or @CousinEdsCorner on all platforms. Your people are with you always, family. Honor them. Celebrate them. Let their legacy live forever through your voice. 👑

On today's episode, Dr. Tameka LaShonn join me, and we covered EVERYTHING. From navigating life's biggest transitions to rebuilding the village, to parenting with vulnerability—this is THE conversation you need to hear right now. She's a doctor of psychology, life coach, and someone who's been CALLED to help people navigate life's change with Grace and Authenticity.
Here's what we're diving into: Life isn't an elevator where you finally "arrive." It's a roller coaster with hills and valleys—and the goal is learning to find the POCKETS OF JOY even when you're going through it. Dr. Tam shared how a moment on Clubhouse during quarantine turned into "Therapy Thursdays," which became her full coaching practice. But here's the real thing—she reminds us that your support system changes EVERYTHING. The company you keep determines your perspective. Period.
We talked about empty nests, career transitions, parenting kids in the social media era, and rebuilding community the way our grandparents knew how. She broke down vulnerable parenting—apologizing when you mess up, admitting you don't have all the answers, treating your kids like developing tribe members instead of subjects you control. This is the kind of wisdom that transforms families.
And fam, we went THERE on why we fight ourselves. Why we know the answer but don't take it. Why we know where to find things that make us feel worse but struggle to find support. Dr. Tam is on a mission to change that—to be visible, accessible, and practical in how she helps people. This episode is proof that when you show up authentically, God opens doors you never expected.
If you're going through a transition, struggling with your kids, wondering how to rebuild community, or just need a perspective shift on what's possible in your life—You Do Not Want To Miss This Episode. Tap in and let's talk about it. 🎙️

Motivational Monday - Bonus Episode "The Power of Prevention"
Monday Nov 24, 2025
Monday Nov 24, 2025
Family, I had to come back with a bonus episode because my heart needed to say something, and I couldn't wait until Wednesday to say it.
Over the last couple of months, my father has been battling serious health challenges, and I want to start by saying THANK YOU. The love, the support, the prayers, the kind words that have come my way during this time—it means EVERYTHING. You lift me up. You lift this show up. And together, we're building something real.
But this bonus episode isn't just about gratitude—it's about something critical that I need you to hear: GO GET CHECKED OUT. Don't ignore what your body is telling you. Don't put off that appointment. Don't hope it goes away. My father is here today because he followed up on the signs his body was giving him. Early detection changed everything. And I know so many of you are fighting something right now—don't fight it alone, and don't fight it by ignoring it. Get the help. Get the check-up. Take action.
I also want to send a special message to my cousin who's listening right now—keep fighting. Keep pushing. You've got the corner's support, and more importantly, you've got God's strength.
Now, as we head into this season of celebration—Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year—I want to talk about something that seems simple but is absolutely CRITICAL: Stay hydrated. Stay moving. Stay conscious of what you're eating. Start your day with water before anything else. Walk. Work out. Don't abandon your health routine just because it's the holidays. You can celebrate AND take care of yourself. You can enjoy the food AND drink the water. It's not either-or—it's BOTH.
Health is wealth, family. It's not selfish to take care of yourself—it's essential. It's the greatest investment you can make. Be there for your family, be there for your community, be there for yourself by staying on top of your health.
And hey—we're also expanding! Cousin Ed's Corner is now on YouTube with behind-the-scenes footage and video content coming your way. Subscribe there, stay connected on Spotify, Amazon, wherever you listen. Multiple ways to connect, multiple ways to grow.
If you want to reach out, call or text me at 762-333-2032 or leave a voicemail at CousinEdsCorner.com. I love you all. I'm grateful for you all. And I'm committed to showing up for this community.
Now go drink some water, schedule that health check-up, and keep taking care of that beautiful body of yours.
Cousin Ed's Corner: Health, Gratitude, and Community. That's what we do here.

Motivational Monday - Reclaiming Your Peace During the Holiday Season
Monday Nov 24, 2025
Monday Nov 24, 2025
In today's episode, we're diving into the power of gratitude, but not the surface-level kind. We're talking about recognizing the blessings that are already in your life, even when social media is screaming that YOU'RE NOT ENOUGH.
Here's the truth: You have breath in your body. You have a right mind. You have your spirit. Everything beyond that is bonus—and I mean that. After spending over a month in the hospital with my father I have a new perspective on things. I witnessed real struggle up close, and it shifted everything I thought about gratitude. Some people are fighting battles we can't even imagine. And here we are, blessed beyond measure, maybe just missing it because we're too busy looking at someone else's highlight reel.
But this isn't just about gratitude—it's about ACTION. It's about giving back during this season. When you donate clothes, books, your time, your love to someone who needs it more than you do, something magical happens. That generosity waters not just their plant, but your own. That's real. And it's powerful.
And for those of you feeling alone right now. For those of you without the family gathering you wish you had, without the financial abundance, without the so called picture-perfect holiday? I want you to know something: You are loved. If no one else loves you today, God loves you. And Cousin Ed loves you too. Look in the mirror and say it: "I love myself."
This episode came straight from the heart, straight from what I know and also wanting to keep it real with you. No scripts, no perfection—just family talking to family. This is what Cousin Ed's Corner is all about: authentic conversations that remind you of your worth, your power, and your blessing.
Tap in now: https://linktr.ee/cousinedscorner
Drop a comment and tell me—what's one blessing you've been taking for granted? How have you learned to give back even when you're struggling? Let's build this community together, because that's what we do here. We remind each other that we're not alone, that we're enough, and that our stories matter.
Share this with someone who needs to hear that they're loved. Send it to that friend who's been struggling. Tag someone who needs this reminder. Let's spread the love the way it's meant to be spread.

Financial Freedom Fridays - What Every Young Adult Needs To Know
Friday Nov 21, 2025
Friday Nov 21, 2025
On today's episode, I'm breaking down a real-life scenario: I recently met two young professionals—one with a financial mentor and one without—and they're BOTH leaving FREE money on the table by not maximizing their 401(k) matching. This episode is about changing that narrative for YOU and your family.
We're unpacking the FIVE ESSENTIAL ACCOUNTS every person needs to know about: ✅ High-Yield Savings Accounts (Watch your money actually GROW) ✅ 401(k) Matching (That's FREE MONEY from your employer!) ✅ Brokerage Accounts (Your gateway to the stock market) ✅ Roth IRAs (Tax-free wealth building) ✅ 529 Plans (Investing in your kids' futures)
But here's what makes this episode DIFFERENT—we're keeping it SIMPLE. Real talk, no financial jargon, and ACTIONABLE STEPS. Whether you have $5 or $5,000, there's a path for YOU to start investing TODAY. Remember, if you drive a Ford, invest in Ford. If you love Starbucks, buy Starbucks stock. Invest in what you USE and what you SEE.
This isn't just about making pennies on the dollar—it's about building generational wealth, one smart decision at a time. It's about having someone in your corner who believes in your financial freedom. IT'S ABOUT YOU.

Don't just listen—SHARE this episode with someone who needs this financial breakthrough. Your family member who doesn't know about 401(k) matching. Your friend who thinks they can't invest. Your coworker who's leaving money on the table. THIS is the message they need to hear.
Cousin Ed's Corner is more than motivation—we're taking ACTION. We're building wealth. We're securing futures. We're creating financial freedom. Are you ready to join us? 👑💪🏾

The Corner Connection - Why 500 Episodes Means More Than Numbers
Monday Nov 17, 2025
Monday Nov 17, 2025
🚨 MILESTONE MOMENT ALERT 🚨: We've officially reached 500 EPISODES of Cousin Ed's Corner! 🎉🎤 This isn't just another number – this is a movement, a community, a family that's been showing up week after week, year after year.
In this special episode, I'm taking you behind the scenes of how it all started. From collaborating with Mr. Moody and DJ Naturell back in 2012 on "Mr. Moody's Neighborhood," to Taralyn Michelle looking me dead in the eye and saying, "Cousin Ed, you're wasting your talent" – every moment led to THIS. We built a NETWORK. From one segment to three shows a week. From doubt to determination. From 300 episodes where I almost quit, to 500 where I'm standing here grateful and energized.
But here's what really moved me: During my father's major surgeries, sitting in hospital rooms late at night, my dad told me, "Keep recording. Keep pushing." That's the kind of real family support that fuels a movement like this. And it taught me something powerful – consistency matters more than perfection. Showing up matters. Staying true to your purpose matters, even when the numbers don't immediately reflect your impact.
The REAL metrics? The text messages I get from strangers saying, "Your episode saved my life." The cards and gifts from listeners I've never physically met but who feel like family. People recognizing me in public with tears in their eyes thanking me for being part of their journey. THAT'S what 500 episodes means. Not just a podcast – it's a life-changing movement built on authenticity, gratitude, and the belief that we're all in this together.
From Monday Motivation to Wind Down Wednesday to Thank God for Everything Friday – from Financial Freedom Friday to When My Sister Wins – you've been here. YOU made 500 episodes possible. And I want to invite you to keep building with me.
Tap in and Celebrate : https://linktr.ee/cousinedscorner
Drop a comment right now telling me about a Cousin Ed's Corner episode that touched your life or changed your perspective. Better yet, share this milestone episode with someone who's struggling to stay consistent in their own journey. Someone who's questioning whether their voice matters. Someone who's on the edge of giving up. Show them this is possible when you believe in yourself and stay COMMITTED.
Let's keep this momentum going! Send me your feedback at 762-333-2032 or connect with me @CousinEdsCorner on all platforms. Whether it's a text, a voice note, or a comment – I want to hear how this show has impacted YOU.
Remember: Never give up on what's in your heart. 💪🏾 If you want to be great at something, stay consistent. If you want to learn something, stay consistent. If you want to build something meaningful, STAY CONSISTENT.
500 episodes down. Cousin Ed's Corner is just getting warmed up. 👑

Thank God For Everything (TGIF) -The MOST HIGH is Real
Friday Nov 14, 2025
Friday Nov 14, 2025
On today's episode, we're diving DEEP into faith, gratitude, and what it really means to have an authentic spiritual connection with the MOST HIGH.
The church is suppose to teach us love, but sometimes the people in it don't practice it. This episode is about acceptance, breaking free from judgment, and reclaiming YOUR spiritual journey on YOUR terms. We're talking about why God doesn't need a loudspeaker when He's already speaking to you through your inner voice—your intuition, your conscience, your gut feeling.
This isn't just church talk. This is about recognizing the MOST HIGH protection in your everyday life, understanding how to navigate life's obstacles, and remembering that when you can't walk, the MOST HIGH is your cane. When you can't think, the MOST HIGH is your mind. When you can't heal, the MOST HIGH is your doctor in the room.
We're sharing powerful analogies, real conversations about spirituality vs. religion, and why it's time to stop letting people put you in boxes. Whether you call it God, Allah, Buddha, or the Most High—this episode is about connecting with that higher power AUTHENTICALLY.
The message is simple: Love one another. Love yourself. And know that you are worthy, you are seen, and you are loved.
Tap in and let this episode shift your perspective on faith, gratitude, and your relationship with the divine: https://linktr.ee/cousinedscorner
Drop me a comment about what resonated with you. Did this episode change how you see your spiritual connection? Have you struggled with organized religion? Share your story and let's keep building this community together.
Remember, Cousin Ed's Corner is all about REAL conversations, AUTHENTIC connections, and celebrating each other's spiritual journeys. Share this with someone who needs to hear it. Someone in your life is struggling with their faith, feeling judged by the church, or looking for permission to find their own spiritual path—and this episode is for them.

The Championship Mindset: Why Playing The Coaches Role Is So Important To You And Others
Wednesday Nov 12, 2025
Wednesday Nov 12, 2025
In this episode, we're exploring one of life's most powerful and often overlooked roles—being a COACH. Today, we're breaking down why coaching isn't just about sports or business—it's about every single relationship you have. Whether you're a parent, spouse, friend, leader, or mentor, you're playing the coaching role whether you know it or not.
We're diving into what separates great coaches from good ones. I'm sharing a raw, personal story about being a young, naive freshman basketball player who got dunked on by a senior. My coach didn't just let it slide—he built ME up. He set consequences that meant something. He lined up every big man on the team and made me stop each and every one of them. That wasn't just about basketball—that was about a mindset that was preparing me for LIFE. That was about building resilience for the inevitable moments when heartbreak, job loss, rejection, and adversity come charging down the lane at full speed.
This is about LEGACY. It's about grooming your kids to value what you value. It's about inspiring your spouse, developing your team, mentoring your friends, and showing people what's possible before they ever have to ask. Are you coaching people up to believe they can go against ANYBODY, no matter what the world tells them? Are you helping others find the confidence within themselves? That's the real coaching game right now -- BUILDING A CHAMPIONSHIP MINDSET.
We're also diving into the different levels of coaching—personal, relational, professional. We're exploring how this connects to our mini-series on life roles: the GM, the Coach, the Player, the Cheerleader, the Fan. Each one matters. Each one has a season. Each one has a purpose.
Tap in to discover which role you're meant to dominate and which one needs your attention NOW: https://linktr.ee/cousinedscorner
Drop a comment about who coached YOU up in life. Who showed you that you could run through a wall? Who believed in you before you believed in yourself? And let me know—are you coaching someone in YOUR life right now? Are you building champions, or are you sitting on the sideline? Let's keep this conversation going. Your feedback matters. SHARE this episode with someone who needs to hear that they have what it takes to face anything life throws at them.

On today's episode, we're diving DEEP into one of the most transformational concepts that's shaped my entire journey: becoming the GM (General Manager) of YOUR life.
Real talk—most of us are out here playing like we're just a player on the team, standing on the sidelines as a cheerleader, or not even showing up to the game at all. But that STOPS TODAY.

This is the FIRST episode in an entire series we're launching where we explore every position you play in life. But today, we're starting at the TOP with YOU as the ultimate leader of your own team.

Friday Nov 07, 2025
In this episode, we're breaking down the intersection of faith and ACTION, dreams and PREPARATION, and MEntorship that CHANGES LIVES.
I had a real conversation with a young man who was whispering his dreams instead of declaring them. He kept saying "God Got Me," but here's what I learned: God's got you, but you gotta MOVE. 🎯
This isn't just about one young man—this is about ALL OF US. Whether you're figuring out your path, raising young people, or trying to mentor others, this episode speaks to YOU. We're talking about:
✨ Why "school ain't for everybody, but learning is for everybody" ✨ The Back Pocket Rule - always being prepared for opportunity ✨ How mentorship changed MY life (shout out to Mr. Bradley and Ernest Watson) ✨ Why your elders are "flashing their lights" to warn you about the potholes ahead ✨ The power of saying YES when you don't know where it leads

How to Release What You've Been Carrying
Wednesday Nov 05, 2025
Wednesday Nov 05, 2025
In this episode, we're talking about the real meaning of health and wellness in our community. We're not just hitting the gym and calling it a day. We're talking about managing the responsibility stress that's silently wearing us down, recognizing what drains us, and—most importantly—finding YOUR personal way to release that weight. From my big brother's hospital visit due to stress overload to my own journey with wellness, this episode is REAL.
I'm also sharing strategies that actually work: finding peace through "cutting corners," investing in stress relief (because your health is worth the money), and understanding that true wellness touches every part of your life—mental, physical, spiritual, and relational.

Motivational Monday - Thanking God For The PRAYER WARRIORS
Monday Nov 03, 2025
Monday Nov 03, 2025
In this episode, I'm diving deep into the POWER OF YOUR INVISIBLE PRAYER WARRIORS and why we are NEVER truly alone—even when it feels so alone.
Just came off a prayer call with my church back in Brooklyn where my father shared an incredible testimony about perspective shift and resilience. He went through something real these last couple of weeks, but watching him step back up and lead our men's group prayer call? That's what I'm talking about—FAITH IN ACTION.
Here's what hit me: There are people praying for you RIGHT NOW that you don't even know about. Church Mothers, Deacons, and Old family members. That coworker who heard you crying in the bathroom. That stranger who saw you break down in your car. They're all lifting you up and praying for you. 🙏
We talk about shifting from "why me?" to recognizing your BLESSINGS. We dive into the principle of never forgetting "The Least of Thee" and why sometimes a prayer is the most powerful gift you can offer. We break down why God cares about what's IN YOUR HEART more than what you can physically give.
This is about COMMUNITY. This is about our walk in FAITH. This is about understanding that you've got an entire prayer circle working for you 24/7.

In this episode, we're discussing GENEROSITY, COMMUNITY, FAITH, and how KINDNESS moves mountains. Listen, as I was on IG today, I got inspired by a young brother from the Bronx, Romeo Bartley Jr., who's out here changing lives one act of kindness at a time. If you haven't seen his work yet, head to Instagram and follow @romeobartleyjr. His vision will inspire you to DO something.
I'm breaking down the REAL, PRACTICAL ways YOU can help—starting TODAY. Buy someone a coffee. Fill up a stranger's gas tank. Support Meals on Wheels. Donate to relief. And here's the spiritual truth that'll shift your whole perspective: When you sow a seed, you reap a harvest TENFOLD. That's not just motivation, that's LAW. Romeo's living proof.
Real talk? We're living through tough times. Families are choosing between medicine, food, gas, and daycare. The government's struggling. People are hurting. And that's exactly why THIS message matters NOW. We gotta do more for each other. Not because Instagram told us to. Not because it looks good. Because it's RIGHT. Because we're FAMILY. Because Romeo's showing us what's POSSIBLE when one person decides to serve.
This is what Cousin Ed's Corner is about—real talk, real faith, real ACTION. Not just motivation. We're LIVING IT.

Follow Romeo Bartley Jr. @romeobartleyjr for daily inspiration and to support his mission.

And YES—share this episode with someone who needs to know they're not alone, that their community's got their back, and that small acts create BIG waves.

In this episode, we're diving deep into what truly matters—showing up for each other in the fight against cancer. This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I'm bringing you real conversations about resilience, support, and why health screening isn't optional. I'm sharing personal stories about losing family members to cancer, celebrating the incredible strength of survivors, and breaking down why everyone—men and women—needs to prioritize their health.
This isn't just about statistics or awareness campaigns. It's about the warriors in our community fighting this battle every single day, and how we can show up for them. From wearing pink to attending chemotherapy appointments, from getting regular mammograms to checking ourselves for changes—every action matters. I'm also shining a light on the incredible work of organizations like Susan G. Komen Foundation who are leading the charge in research and advocacy.
Cancer doesn't discriminate, and neither should our commitment to fighting it. Whether you've been personally touched by this disease or you know someone who has, this episode is for you. We're building a community of support, celebrating those who've shown incredible strength, and reminding each other that we're not alone in this journey.
