• 105. "Deserving" Rest as A Black Woman, and Sharing our "Failures" Along with Success
    Apr 1 2026

    Hey everyone!

    Happy April! Coming to you with some thoughts about the idea of rest as a Black woman transitioning into a period where I am de-prioritizing work and focusing on taking care of myself first. I also talk about an opportunity I applied for that I did not get, and how our "failures" are only part of our story and journey long-term. I hope you listen to the end.

  • 103. Matriarch by Tina Knowles Part 2
    Mar 1 2026

    Happy March!

    So happy to be kicking off this month with the second and final installment of my recap of Ms. Tina Knowles’ book Matriarch. I finished it before the end of the month as promised, and after my personal update, I talk about the most resonating themes and experiences in the book that I felt moved to share, specifically her journey with love and her long-term partners, and her learning to become her own self advocate for her battle with breast cancer. I hope you listen to the end.

  • 101. Matriarch by Tina Knowles Part 1
    Feb 1 2026

    Happy February!

    We are kicking off this month with the first installment of my thoughts on the book Matriarch by Ms. Tina Knowles. I have really enjoyed this memoir so far. Ms. Tina shares so much, and does a great job with chronicling pivotal moments in her life while also sharing much of her childhood, adolescence and young adulthood, and how all phases played a role in who she was a wife, and is as a mother and whole person. I share my thoughts after my personal update (10:12) and hope you listen to the end.

  • 100. Happy 100th Episode! I'm Quitting my Job & Betting on Myself in 2026
    Jan 15 2026

    Happy New Year!

    I'm excited to fire up the microphone and reconnect with my listeners for the first episode of 2026. It is the 100th episode (!!!) and I can't believe the podcast has reached this point. I am immensely grateful to any and everyone who has listened and continues to do so.

    After sharing an update on my holiday, I talk about the decision to put in my notice and leave one of my positions as a Psych NP (13:37). I discuss my thought process with coming to this decision, and the urgency I feel in letting go what's holding me back and betting on myself this year. I hope you listen to the end.

  • 099. A Short Break & A Moment of Gratitude: 2025 Recap & Hopes for 2026
    Dec 15 2025

    We've made it to the final episode of the year and I feel so much gratitude for the success of this podcast this year and life personally. I used this episode to talk a little bit about my weekend and then shared what I'm thankful for this year. Lastly I talk about my hopes for 2026 - I'm looking forward to slowing all the way down and getting to know myself deeper as a woman who's transitioning into motherhood. I also talk about some career changes I'm working on and how that life will look a lot different a year from now. I hope you listen to the end.

    Happy New Year in advance! There will be no January 1st. episode. See you back on the 15th!
