    EP7: The Realistic Soft Life

    Send us a text The “soft life” looks good on social media — but what does it look like in real life, when you’re healing, parenting, working, and still holding it all together? In this episode, we dig into the real version of softness — one rooted in choice, boundaries, and rest… even when it’s hard to come by. We talk about the privilege often tied to ease, the guilt that comes with slowing down, and what it means to pursue peace when you weren’t raised with it. Plus, I shout out someone who embodies strength and softness in motion: Tiana Massaquoi, a mentor and woman I deeply admire. This is for anyone redefining what rest looks like in their current season.  Pull up a chair — let’s talk about The Realistic Soft Life.

    EP6: When The Old You Shows Up

    Send us a text In this episode of The Kitchen Table, I’m answering two vulnerable and relatable questions from listeners: one about navigating burnout when life just won’t let up, and another about the heavy guilt that creeps in when we find ourselves parenting in ways we swore we wouldn’t—just like our parents did. I share how loss gave me perspective, how I offer myself grace in the middle of guilt, and why self-awareness—not perfection—is what makes us better. Plus, I check in with you (because life is a lot right now) and introduce a new segment: Table Reads, where I share what’s currently on my nightstand.

    EP4: Navigating Anxiety in Children

    Send us a text As parents, we want nothing more than to see our children happy and thriving—but what happens when we start noticing signs of anxiety in them at such a young age? In this episode, I open up about recognizing early signs of anxiety in my toddler, the emotions that came with it, and the steps I took to start advocating for her well-being. From daily behaviors that signaled something deeper to our first conversations with her pediatrician, this is an honest look at the challenges and responsibilities of supporting our little ones emotionally. If you’re a parent navigating similar concerns, know that you’re not alone. Pull up a chair, and let’s talk about it. Support the show Thanks for pulling up a chair at The Kitchen Table!

    EP3: Reinventing Yourself

    Send us a text In this episode of The Kitchen Table, we’re diving into the power of breaking the mold and choosing a different path. I’m sitting down with Kee—a remarkable young woman who, at just 25 years old, has already rewritten the narrative of her life. Despite being raised a certain way, Kee made a bold decision to live life on her own terms. Her courage has led her to become well-traveled and open to experiences far beyond what was expected of her. Kee started as a mentee of mine, but truth be told—I now look up to her. Her bravery, independence, and willingness to chase the life she wants are nothing short of inspiring. In our conversation, we talk about what it takes to reinvent yourself, push past the limits of your upbringing, and trust your own vision for the future.

    EP2: Unemployed and slightly bothered

    Send us a text Getting laid off was a plot twist I didn't see coming. In this episode, I open up about the emotions that came with losing my job- frustration, uncertainty and yes, being slightly bothered. But more importantly, I share how my community showws up for me in the best ways they can. From leaning on my tribe, to embracing the unknown, this conversation is about resilience and finding strength (and humor) in the people around you when life takes an unexpected turn.
