**** This episode has cussing and also goes into detail about childhood trauma/abuse**** It’s been one full year since I went no contact with my mother. In this episode, I’m reflecting on how I spent the day, the grief and grounding I’ve moved through, and three lessons I’ve learned since choosing distance over dysfunction. This isn’t about being strong or unbothered—it’s about what happens when you choose peace and refuse to shrink, even when people expect you to go back. I’m sharing this episo...

We talk about wanting community. Wanting softness. Craving care and to be seen. The thing is though, how are you gonna ask for that from other people, or give it to other people, when you don’t even give it to yourself? In this episode, I’m talking about what it really means to be in community with yourself. You’re out here showing up for everybody else, doing the most, saying yes when you don’t mean it, and ignoring what you need. That’s a form of self-abandonment. I’m sharing some things I wro...

In this episode, I’m talking about what it actually looks like to rebuild trust with yourself — especially when you’ve spent a lifetime ignoring your needs, second-guessing your voice, and shrinking to keep the peace. If you’ve ever felt stuck in patterns of self-abandonment, this one’s for you. I share the 4 daily practices I’ve been using to come back to myself and start rebuilding that trust in small, intentional ways. This is not about being perfect. It’s about not disappearing on yourself a...

Eff the Cubicle Fridays: A New Chapter Begins In this episode, I’m introducing a brand new series called Eff the Cubicle Fridays . This series was born from my desire to break free from the 9-to-5 grind that was draining the life out of me.

We’re talking entrepreneurship, creativity, personal growth, and what it means t...

Listen to the episode from 2020 Link to the free mini quide In this episode, I share a moment that caught even me by surprise — when I was out walking and found myself shoulder-checking someone who didn’t make space for me on the sidewalk. It wasn’t aggressive. It wasn’t loud. But it was intentional. And I didn’t apologize. This story became a reflection on the ways Black women are taught to shrink, to step aside, to stay small — and what it means to finally stop doing that. I talk about: What r...

In this heartfelt rewind episode, I take you inside a quiet moment of reflection at a solo retreat where I finally let the tears come.

I share: Why crying helped me realize what my soul is craving The emotional toll of always showing up for others Why some of us need to completely tear dow...

If you are moving towards more self-love, acceptance, and peace, your daily practice of life has got to include allowing for more grace and less strictness. Our Sponsors: * Chec...
