Somewhere along the way, many moms were taught that motherhood meant losing themselves.

This conversation challenges that completely.

Tia sits down with Sherita Olympian, speaker, author, entrepreneur, wife, and mother for a deeply honest conversation about resilience, purpose, motherhood, and refusing to shrink yourself after having children.

From representing Barbados in the Olympics to navigating marriage, motherhood, entrepreneurship, and personal growth, Sherita shares the lessons that shaped her perspective on life and parenting.

In this episode:

• ​why motherhood shouldn’t erase your identity
• ​balancing motherhood while still pouring into yourself
• ​overcoming disappointment and rebuilding after setbacks
• ​the pressure society puts on mothers to sacrifice everything
• ​why self-care isn’t selfish
• ​breaking cycles through communication and grace
• ​learning to say “yes” more in motherhood
• ​giving yourself permission to evolve
