In this episode of the Island Girls Rock Podcast, we sit with Jamaican wellness pioneer, yoga teacher, and community guide Sharon Feanny for a generous and steady conversation on midlife, recovery, and what it means to care for ourselves while holding space for others.

Rooted in ancestral Caribbean wellness practices and more than three decades of lived experience, Sharon reflects on aging with vitality, strength, and self trust, particularly in seasons of upheaval. Drawing from her deep connection to Treasure Beach, where she hosts retreats and remains closely embedded in community care following Hurricane Melissa, she shares insights on resilience, collective recovery, and the quiet, necessary practices that help women continue to thrive as they age.

This conversation is an offering for women in midlife, and for any woman, at any stage of her life, who is navigating change while remaining deeply connected to her body, her community, and her sense of purpose.

In this episode of the Island Girls Rock Podcast, we sit with actor, dancer, wellness instructor, and teaching artist Nikeva Stapleton for a grounded and generous conversation on presence, purpose, and possibility.

Nikeva reflects on Nevis as her place to simply be, shares what it means to fully claim life as a multi-hyphenate, and speaks openly about manifestation and the power of naming what you’re calling in.

From global stages and screens to movement, wellness, and community work across the Caribbean, this conversation is an invitation to listen closely to yourself, your path, and what you’re ready to speak into existence.

In this episode we sit with creator, scholar and proud Nevisian, Simone Mills, known online as @everytingsimsimma, for a rich and grounded conversation on culture, Carnival, identity and the quiet ways we continue to resist.

Simone shares how she tells our stories through two essential lenses: the creative and the academic. She speaks openly about “nerding out” over history, constantly tracing threads between our present day traditions and their deeper roots. Her research into Carnival as resistance has shaped not just her work but the way she moves through the world.

We talk about showing up in spaces that were not made with us in mind, and how disruption does not always need to be loud to be powerful. Simone also offers a beautiful reflection on growing up between worlds, feeling too West Indian for American folks and too American for her Caribbean family, and how that in between space helped her anchor herself in her identity.

For her, the islands are not just heritage. They are home.

This is a thoughtful and heart full conversation with a woman who studies, celebrates and lives her Caribbean identity with clarity and joy!
