    Code Confessions - The Podcast: Episode 4

    Hey friends 👋🏽 So listen…I may have made it through bootcamp,but that doesn’t mean I’ve got it all figured out. In Episode 4 of Code Confessions, I’m diving into the very real (and slightly delusional) dreams I have for my future in tech — from building better EHRs to sipping espresso while pushing commits from a rooftop in Lisbon. This one’s for: * Midlife pivoters who still believe in dream jobs * Late bloomers who don’t want to settle * Black girls in tech figuring it out as they go * Anyone out here building Life 2.0 with caffeine and curiosity You’ll hear about: 💼 The career mashups I’m manifesting👓 The spiritual importance of dark theme after 8 PM🌍 Building tech that actually helps real people✨ And how I’m still unpacking my bags — Erykah Badu-style — one episode at a time “I’m not carrying every bag… but I’ve definitely got a few.” If that hits, this episode’s for you. 🎧 Listen to Episode 4 Now: 🟣 On Spotify: 🍎 On Apple Podcast: 🔗 Or right here on Substack: ↓ Thanks for the support ya’ll. 💋🖤 #CodeConfessions #Episode4 #MidlifeInTech #WomenWhoCode #BlackTechSubstack #PublicHealthTech #LateBloomersClub #PerimenopauseAndProgramming #SoftLifeDev #DebugQueen #DarkThemeDelusions #CareerPivoting #Life2PointOh Get full access to Code Confessions at keedan204.substack.com/subscribe

I’m reading my blog post titled:🖥️ “Bootcamp Burnout, Brown Sugar Espresso & the Beautiful Mess of Midlife in Tech” (aka: Ctrl + Alt + Midlife Crisis) In this episode, I’m talking about what it really feels like to learn to code in your 40s — with the world on fire, your GitHub repo holding on for dear life, and your brain battling both JavaScript and perimenopause. It’s messy. It’s real. It’s mine.And if you’ve ever tried to pivot midlife while still figuring your sh*t out — this one’s for you. 🔗 Listen now: 🎧 Episode 3 is live on all podcast platforms → Substack/Spotify/Apple Podcasts 📖 Prefer to read instead? The full blog post is below 👇🏽 💬 If this resonates… Share the episode with someone else who’s out here pivoting, coding, stumbling, and still showing up. And hey — leave a comment or send a DM. I’d love to know how your journey’s going. You can also find me here:📲 Instagram / Threads → [Follow Me on Instagram] Until next time — keep building.Even slowly. Even imperfectly.You’re not alone.

    Code Confessions - The Podcast: Episode 2

    In this second episode of Code Confessions, I’m talking about the big, ugly thing nobody wants to admit — imposter syndrome. That voice in your head that says:“You’re too old.”“You’re not smart enough.”“You don’t belong here.” Yeah… that one. This episode is a short, honest reflection on what it feels like to start something new in midlife, to fumble through code with no map, and to keep showing up anyway.For every human rewriting their life — this one’s for you. 💋🖤 Get full access to Code Confessions at keedan204.substack.com/subscribe

    Code Confessions - The Podcast: Episode 1

    In this first episode of Code Confessions, I’m reading my very first blog post out loud — the one that started it all. It was written when I had just stepped away from 15+ years in healthcare leadership and taken a leap into learning how to code — at 45, as a grandmother, and with no roadmap. It’s raw. It’s real. And it’s where this pivot begins. You can read the full post below or just listen — either way, I’m glad you’re here. Thanks for being here with me. I going to eat some ice cream now 😭 💋🖤 #CodeConfessions #CareerPivot #WomenWhoCode #BlackWomenInTech #NurseToTech #TechTransition #FromBedsideToBackend #CodingJourney #MidlifeInTech #HealthcareToTech #JuniorDeveloperLife #SpilledCodeandTea Get full access to Code Confessions at keedan204.substack.com/subscribe

    Code Confessions - The Podcast - Intro

    This is my very first podcast intro — recorded in one take, no fancy edits, and zero clue what I’m doing. But I showed up. And I’m not giving up. Thanks for being here as I figure it out, one bug (and breakthrough) at a time. 💋🖤 Get full access to Code Confessions at keedan204.substack.com/subscribe
