  • 106. Postpartum Diaries Entry #1: Motherhood - The First 3 Weeks
    May 1 2026

    Firing up the microphone for the first episode after giving birth means leaning heavily on consistency, slowly generating momentum again, and being ok with background noise. This is real life now! I took a few minutes this episode to check in and share whatever came to mind for me. Looks like this might become a series of sorts? We'll see! I hope you listen to the end.

  • 105. "Deserving" Rest as A Black Woman, and Sharing our "Failures" Along with Success
    Apr 1 2026

    Hey everyone!

    Happy April! Coming to you with some thoughts about the idea of rest as a Black woman transitioning into a period where I am de-prioritizing work and focusing on taking care of myself first. I also talk about an opportunity I applied for that I did not get, and how our "failures" are only part of our story and journey long-term. I hope you listen to the end.
