    Where Healing Meets Liberation

    What if the things you’ve been told are “your issues” are actually justified reactions to the world around you? In this powerful conversation, Michelle sits down with licensed clinical psychologist Dr. Raquel Martin to unpack boundaries, burnout, Black Superwoman syndrome, and what liberation psychology teaches us about healing beyond the individual. Together, they explore why strength can become a cage, how community is our greatest mental health resource, and why some behaviors once saved us — even if they no longer serve us. From redefining imposter syndrome to burning the cape, this episode challenges the way we talk about mental health, power, and survival. It’s honest, funny, deeply affirming, and necessary. If you’ve ever felt exhausted by being strong, unseen in healing spaces, or pressured to carry everything alone — this conversation is for you. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Spiritual Hygiene: Cleaning What You Can’t See with Iyanla Vanzant

    In this deeply moving episode of Checking In with Michelle Williams, Michelle sits down with spiritual teacher and New York Times bestselling author Iyanla Vanzant for an honest, soul-shifting conversation about spiritual hygiene. Together, they explore what it means to clean internal debris, confront unhealed pain, release inherited trauma, and stop carrying what was never ours to hold. Iyanla breaks down why awareness, honesty, boundaries, grief, and personal responsibility are essential to true healing — and why love sometimes means speaking truth, even to family. From relationships and generational patterns to faith, fear, self-worth, and forgiveness, this episode is a reminder that healing is not about perfection — it’s about courage, compassion, and daily practice. This conversation isn’t just something you listen to — it’s something you sit with. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
