    Mom Guilt, Postpartum and The Heavy Cost I Paid For My Joy (Kristen Mychelle)

    Can a woman fully love her family without abandoning the parts of herself that make her feel alive? In this deeply honest episode of A Different Kinda Woman, Dr. Stacii Jae Johnson sits down with dancer, choreographer, Pilates instructor, and mother Kristen Mychelle for a vulnerable conversation about postpartum depression, anxiety, mom guilt, identity, and the emotional cost of pursuing joy. Kristen shares how becoming a mother to twins changed her life in ways she never expected. After struggling with severe postpartum depression and anxiety, she fought her way back to herself and eventually returned to the career she loved. Going on tour made her feel alive again, but when she came home and saw how deeply her absence had affected her young son, that joy quickly became guilt. She began to question whether being a devoted mother and a fulfilled woman could truly coexist. Together, Dr. Stacii and Kristen unpack the pressure women feel to choose between family and purpose, the danger of allowing our wounded inner child to make grown-woman decisions, and why loving your children should not require burying the gifts God placed inside you. In this episode, they explore: • Kristen’s experience with postpartum depression and anxiety • The pressure to become the “perfect” mother • Why pursuing joy can trigger guilt in women • The struggle to balance motherhood, partnership, and career • How childhood wounds can influence adult decisions • The difference between loving your family and abandoning yourself • Creating a new vision for your life instead of living by outdated expectations • Finding your way back to your purpose, passion, and authentic self This conversation is for every woman who has ever felt guilty for wanting more, felt pressured to shrink for the people she loves, or wondered whether choosing herself meant failing her family. You do not have to choose between being a loving mother and a thriving woman. Your family can matter deeply, and so can you.

    I Filed For Divorce On A Good Man — And Almost Lost Everything (Dr. Contessa Metcalfe)

    She has three board certifications, a master's degree in public health, an MD, and millions of people who followed her story on Married to Medicine. But behind every degree and every camera was a girl who grew up alone — caring for her little brother at night while her mother worked, watching her father disappear for months at a time because of substance use disorder, and learning the most dangerous lesson a child can learn: you can only depend on yourself.  In this deeply personal conversation, Dr. Contessa Metcalfe sits down with Dr. Stacii Jae Johnson to talk about what she has never fully talked about on television — the childhood wounds that followed her straight into a 21-year marriage, and the years she spent filing for divorce on a man who never stopped fighting for her.  What you will hear in this episode: the concept of object permanence and why an absent father programs a woman to expect everyone to leave. The moment her mother died in her arms and what she said. How Contessa filed for divorce multiple times — and what finally made her stop running. What therapy actually looked and felt like for a woman who knew all the clinical answers but could not apply them to herself. Why your feelings are not facts. And what it actually means to take off the armor and give love a real chance.  This is not a celebrity interview. This is a conversation between two women who trust each other — and what comes out of that trust is the kind of honesty that changes how you see your own life.  If you have ever talked yourself out of something good because it felt too hard, too risky, or too much — this episode is for you. SUBSCRIBE to A Different Kinda Woman for weekly conversations about healing, love, emotional wholeness, and becoming the woman you were always meant to be.  COMMENT below: Have you ever run from something that was actually good for you? What made you stop? SHARE this episode with a woman who needs to hear it today.
