  1. An Audacious Black Girl’s Reclamation After Divorce

    An Audacious Black Girl’s Reclamation After Divorce

    Send us a text In this season finale of Audacious Black Girl, I’m sharing the most personal chapter of my journey — not as a story of loss, but as a story of reclamation. For a long time, I thought the hardest part of my life would be the ending of my 20-year marriage. As devastating as it was — and as difficult as the decision had been — what I came to understand is that the hardest part was losing myself inside of it. In this episode, I reflect on the quiet unraveling that led me to the hardest decision I’ve ever made, and the courage it took to finally choose myself — not just in words, but in action. What it took to choose radical self-love, radical self-respect, and overcome intense heartbreak and disappointment to lean into the sacred acceptance of endings.  I talk honestly about grief, fear, and the deep healing work that came with releasing a long-term marriage that no longer aligned with the woman I was becoming. What felt devastating also became an initiation — a return to myself. Through this process, I reclaimed my voice, my sovereignty, my intuition, my time, my peace, and my alignment. This episode is for anyone standing at the edge of a difficult decision, or learning how to find their footing after an ending. This is not a story about failure. It’s a story about my becoming.

    Healing After Divorce: Turning Pain Into Purpose w/ Liv Lewis Founder & CEO of Livd

    Send us a text In this deeply honest and compassionate episode of The Audacious Black Girl Podcast, I sit down with Liv Lewis, founder of Livd, a community created to support Black and Brown women navigating separation and divorce. Liv shares her personal journey through the unraveling of her marriage and the powerful self-discoveries that emerged on the other side of heartbreak. Together, we explore how divorce can be both a breaking point and a breaking open—an invitation to examine old patterns, heal abandonment wounds, and reclaim wholeness. Liv reflects on people-pleasing, overfunctioning, and the quiet ways many women lose themselves while trying to be chosen, accepted, or saved. This conversation is about choosing yourself, telling the truth about pain, and allowing healing to transform loss into purpose. It’s a reminder that endings don’t mean failure. They can be the beginning of a more aligned, liberated life.

    When Rest Becomes Revelation: A Lawyer’s Pivot into becoming an Astrologer

    Send us a text In this episode of The Audacious Black Girl Podcast, I sit down with Diana Vanessa, a former lawyer whose life took a powerful, unexpected turn into the world of astrology. Diana shares how a season of deep burnout, emotional paralysis, and feeling blocked forced her to confront a truth she had been avoiding: she no longer wanted the life she had built. As she sought healing through therapy, rest, and medication, an astrology report found its way to her. From there, everything changed. The language resonated in a way nothing else had, helping her reconnect with herself, honor her intuition, and name what she truly wanted. Together, we talk about the courage it takes to pivot, the sacredness of rest, the importance of regulating your nervous system before making big decisions, and what happens when your environment no longer supports your well-being. This is a conversation about alignment, truth-telling, self-rescue, and permitting yourself to choose a different life. She also gives me a powerful astrology reading that has shifted how I move!

    From Chaos to Clarity: Radical Belief, Identity, and the Power of Audacity w/ Eternity Sledge, Transformation Strategist

    Send us a text In this episode of The Audacious Black Girl Podcast, I’m joined by Eternity Sledge — speaker, writer, transformation strategist, and the creative force behind the GLAD Framework: Gratitude, Logistics, Audacity, and Delusion. We talk about what it really means to move from chaos to clarity, especially for ambitious Black women who are constantly balancing vision, purpose, and self-definition. Eternity breaks down how “being delulu” isn’t about denial — it’s about radical belief in the life you’re creating, paired with the plans and faith to make it real. Together, we explore how clarity begins with identity — remembering who you are, what you value, and why you’re here. This conversation is a beautiful reminder that slow motion is better than no motion, that imposter syndrome isn’t your truth, and that transformation begins the moment you decide to believe audaciously in what’s possible.

  5. Sacred Boundaries: Protecting Your Alchemy and Purpose

    Sacred Boundaries: Protecting Your Alchemy and Purpose

    Send us a text In this episode, I’m reflecting on the importance of creating sacred boundaries—those energetic lines that protect your peace, your purpose, and the magic that makes you, you. Inspired by a journaling activity from the Artist's Way about building my sacred circle, I share what it revealed about who and what truly supports me, and how to lovingly release the people, spaces, and mindset that don’t. This process reminded me how essential it is to protect my alchemy—the energy, creativity, and intuition that fuel my becoming. When we honor what’s sacred, we give our dreams room to grow. We give ourselves what we need to thrive. I hope this episode invites you to pause, reflect, and protect what’s meant for you—because everything outside of that is interference.

    When Alignment and Purpose Change the Room (and who's in it) w/ Tiffany Conway, Celebrated Artist & Visionary

    Send us a text In this heartfelt and honest conversation, I’m joined by Tiffany Conway, an award-winning visual artist whose vibrant work celebrates the beauty and complexity of the African diaspora. Beyond the canvas, Tiffany opens up about her evolution as a woman—what it means to grow, align, and protect your purpose when the people around you aren’t always ready for your transformation. We talk about friendship shifts during seasons of alignment, the sacred act of surrender, and the courage it takes to honor your path even when it means walking alone for a while. Tiffany shares how faith, patience, and self-trust helped her navigate endings, trust divine timing, and love the version of herself she’s becoming. This episode is a reminder that alignment often comes with release, and that clearing is not loss—it’s preparation for what’s next.

    Shifting the Narrative on Periods, Pain & Power w/Dejanae Parkman, founder of Dotted

    Send us a text In this episode of Audacious Black Girl, I sit down with Dejanae Parkman, founder of Dotted, a wellness-first period care brand created for women with heavy cycles. Dejanae shares her powerful journey navigating endometriosis, PCOS, and fibroids, and how her lived experience pushed her to question the safety of mainstream period products. What she discovered about toxins, endocrine disruptors, and misleading “organic” marketing led her to create Dotted—an innovative, Black woman-owned brand centering wellness, safety, and dignity in menstrual care. She truly exemplifies what it means to be an Audacious Black Girl! Together, we unpack the silence around period health in Black girlhood, the ancestral and cultural messages we’ve carried about pain and privacy, and the ways these narratives have shaped how we care for our bodies. We also talk about shifting toward holistic, safer options that allow us to listen to and honor our bodies instead of ignoring or numbing our pain. Contact Dejanae here!
