    Episode 2026.11: Making Peace with the Mirror

    When people talk about body image, they usually mean things like wanting to lose a few pounds or not liking their skin, but what I'm sitting with goes far deeper than that. I want to talk about it this episode, because I have a feeling a number of you are feeling the same way. 🎙️ Continue the conversation at girllisten2this.wordpress.com/community.

    Episode 2026.10: The Evidence Was Always There

    Black women are too often conditioned to downplay our abilities and accomplishments, and that can lead us to not believe in ourselves. But when we step back from those outside voices and take a good look at what we have done, we will see the evidence of our competence has always been there. We just have to stop talking ourselves out of owning it. 🎙️ Continue the conversation at girllisten2this.wordpress.com/community .

    Episode 2026.9: The System Wasn't Build for Us. Your Worth Remains

    Hundreds of thousands of Black women are currently navigating a job market that isn't responding to what we know and are capable of. We need to know our worth remains and cannot be touched by any layoff, bully of a manager, or slow job market. 🎙️ Continue the conversation at girllisten2this.wordpress.com/community.

    Episode 2026.7: Their No Is Not My Law

    In this episode I'm talking about why other people's no — whether it comes at you loudly or quietly, through commands or just a look — is not the law of your life. I also want to name something real: for Black women in this country, compliance wasn't just a habit we picked up. It was a survival strategy we inherited. That's worth sitting with.

    Episode 2026.6: You Didn't Come Here to Disappear

    In this episode I talk about the boxes some of us were handed early on, the real gifts that were inside them, and the very real grief that comes when the promises they made don't pan out. And I talk about what I believe is true: that living as yourself, without performance and without apology, is one of the most generous things you can do -- for yourself and for everyone around you.

    Episode 2026.5: The Wiring Was Never Fair, But We Can Be

    You're riding home feeling grateful, saying thank you to the universe for meeting your needs -- and then it hits you. Isn't that exactly what people do when they thank God for sparing their house while their neighbor's is flattened? In this episode, we sit with survivor's guilt, worthiness, and what it really means to hold gratitude and grief at the same time -- when nobody's running the grid and we have to decide what we're going to do about it.

    Episode 2026.4: Resilience - The Quiet Kind

    What if you've been resilient this whole time and just didn't know it? In this episode, I share a conversation that completely changed the way I see myself and resilience. We're letting go of the "bounce back" myth and looking at the quiet, everyday ways you're already showing up for yourself. 🎙️ girllisten2this.wordpress.com
