  • Navigating the Holiday Blues

    Navigating the Holiday Blues
    Nov 25 2025
    Every year, when the holidays roll around, there’s this pressure in the air.
    Pressure to be cheerful.
    Pressure to be social.
    Pressure to spend money we don’t have.
    Pressure to show up in rooms where we don’t feel safe, understood, or welcome.

    But for so many people — especially those carrying grief, trauma, generational burdens, or complicated family histories — the holidays don’t feel like a warm celebration. They feel like a reminder. A disruption. A season that asks for more energy than it gives.

    This week on The Chiron Intensive, we sat down and opened a conversation that so many young Black adults need but rarely hear:
    What do you do when the holidays bring up loneliness, heaviness, or memories you’d rather forget?
    And how do you take care of yourself… without pretending?

    Self-belief isn’t something you stumble into — it’s a mindset you choose and nurture.

  • You’ll Never Be “Fixed”!

    You’ll Never Be “Fixed”!
    Nov 20 2025
    This episode is your reminder that healing isn’t a transformation into a “perfect” version of yourself—it’s learning to love who you are while you grow. We talk about shedding the pressure to have it all together, why perfection isn’t required for real connection, and how love, community, and patience can meet you exactly where you are.

    If you’ve ever felt “too broken,” “too much,” or “not ready” to be loved, this one’s for you. Come breathe, reflect, and remember: you’re not meant to be fixed—you’re meant to be human.

  • Accountability in Healing: How to Own Your Story Without Beating Yourself Up

    Accountability in Healing: How to Own Your Story Without Beating Yourself Up
    Nov 6 2025
    Healing gets messy. It’s not a checklist or a pretty before/after photo. If you’re doing the work — truly doing it — you’ll find yourself standing in places that make you uncomfortable, asking hard questions, and sometimes realizing you played a part in the hurt you carry or cause. That’s when accountability shows up.

  • When Healing Stops Feeling Good: The Messy, Nonlinear Truth of Growth

    When Healing Stops Feeling Good: The Messy, Nonlinear Truth of Growth
    Nov 4 2025
    This week, we cracked open a truth most self-help spaces avoid: sometimes, doing the work of healing feels terrible. It’s heavy. It’s isolating. It’s crying after journaling because the pages didn’t give you peace this time. It’s setting boundaries that break your heart.

    Healing isn’t “all gumdrops and rainbows.”
    It’s real work — and it’s work that doesn’t always feel good.

  • Self-Compassion vs. Toxic Positivity

    Self-Compassion vs. Toxic Positivity
    Oct 30 2025
    Somewhere between “good vibes only” and “stay strong” lives the quiet truth that most of us avoid — sometimes, it’s okay not to be okay.

    In this week’s episode of The Chiron Intensive, I sat down with my co-host Zeatha Saint Fleur to unpack one of the most misunderstood wellness trends out there: toxic positivity — and how it differs from the deep, healing practice of self-compassion.

    Together, we shared our personal experiences, challenged performative positivity in professional spaces, and held space for the reality that sometimes growth comes wrapped in grief, not glitter.

    From Black Sheep to G.O.A.T.
    Oct 28 2025
    This week on The Chiron Intensive, I’m diving into what it really means to be the black sheep—and how that identity, when healed and reclaimed, can transform into something powerful: the G.O.A.T. (the Greatest of All Time).

  • Navigating Family Expectations and Projections

    Navigating Family Expectations and Projections
    Oct 23 2025
    There’s a special kind of pressure that comes from growing up in a marginalized family — one where survival isn’t just a story, it’s a generational assignment. For many of us, “making it” means carrying not only our own dreams but also the ones our parents couldn’t reach, the fears they never spoke, and the traditions they never questioned.

    In this week’s episode of The Chiron Intensive, we unpacked what that feels like — and what it takes to redefine it.
