The Me in the Making podcast is about self-discovery and encouraging personal introspection. I believe that in order to grow, you have to keep evolving after you've learned new information and I'm curious how that manifests in others' lives.

    BONUS - My book is now available!

    WHEN THE LIGHTS COME UP by Melissa L. Clay - Now available here!  You can watch this episode on Youtube. Some themes this story explores are finally asking the questions to start finding yourself, friendship, dating, and navigating church hurt. There's more and this is just the beginning of the main character Jackie's journey!  I would love it if you buy my book to share in the experience I created. Support Black authors always and especially during Black History Month.   Short story synopsis -  Jackie has always done everything right. She followed the rules, served at church, kept her promises, and waited for the love story she was told would come. But now, in her thirties, living in Chicago with a job she tolerates and a faith that's starting to unravel, she can't help wondering what doing everything "right" has really gotten her. Follow along as Jackie begins a journey inward. With her outspoken best friend Gloria by her side, she starts asking the questions that good girls aren't supposed to ask. Told with humor, honesty, and heart, When The Lights Come Up follows Jackie as she learns to face herself in the mirror, challenge the beliefs that once defined her, and step into a life that feels like her own.   If you're new here, check out seasons 1 and 2 in this feed.

    Group Therapy???

    Dating can be tough out in these streets and the way I've been coping lately is to control what I can control, meaning that I can only control myself and how I show up. My therapist recommended group therapy with other single women who are dating intentionally, and I talk about my experience here! What's something in your life where you're showing up intentionally?
