Millennial girlies, pull up a chair — and no, for once, not at your therapist's.

I was recently in a room full of women my age — millennials and Gen X — gathered to learn from a woman who is genuinely excellent at what she does. I'm talking senior in her field and decades in. We were there to receive her professional expertise, the kind that can only be built over real time. And somehow, the conversation kept turning to Gen Z and Gen Alpha, about their discernment, and their freshness, how the future belonging to them. And I found myself in the room thinking: why are we skipping ourselves?

In this episode:

• A room full of accomplished women in attendance to learn from a seasoned expert — and collectively moving past their own value anyway;
• Why the algorithm has trained us to face forward so hard we forget to look at what we're standing on;
• What twenty-plus years of adulting actually gives you — and why it cannot be downloaded, prompted, or fast-tracked;
• The difference between precocious and discerning — and why our generation of parents might want to sit with that one;
• What would it look like to claim our age, our stage, and our experience — because of all of it, not in spite of it?

Grab your drink or your iced coffee, my friend. It's go time.

Millennial girlies, pull up a chair — and no, for once, not at your therapist's.

Fair warning — this is my voice after four days of flu and zero voice, and it's either this or I don't show up. And we are not doing that. We went to Ocho Rios for Father's Day weekend, and somewhere between the AC on full blast, a standing fan three inches from my chest, and CJ joking "maybe it's menopause" — I had a full reckoning about how little I actually know about my own body's next chapter.

In this episode, I'm talking about the conversation millennial women were never given about perimenopause and menopause — and why we're going to have it now.

In this episode:

• The Father's Day trip that turned into an unexpected body reckoning
• Calling my mom about menopause symptoms — and the advice that did not help
• Why two intelligent women had to Google what menopause actually is
• The female hormone panel every woman needs to know about
• Scientists mapping nerve endings in the vagina for the first time — thirty years after the penis
• What did the women in your life tell you about menopause — and what were you never told?

Grab your drink or your iced coffee, my friend. It's go time.

We Weren't Told | Episode 13: Your Body Is Keeping Score

Millennial girlies, pull up a chair — and no, for once, not at your therapist's.

I've been in the thick of something heavy with some family members — and then I got a message from one of my most cherished friends that made everything I'd been carrying look completely different. She is fighting for her life. And I realised I'd been filing my body's notifications without opening them.

In this episode, I'm talking about what our bodies are trying to tell us — and what happens when we keep postponing that conversation.

In this episode:

• The tightness in my throat and the dizziness I kept filing away
• The message from my friend that cracked something open and wouldn't close again
• Why the body is a messenger, not just a surface to manage and present
• What chronic stress is actually doing in the places you can't feel yet
• Bombay mangoes, oxtail, and why life insists on beauty in the same week as the grief
• Where is the tightness in your body right now — and when did you last stop to ask it what it's trying to tell you?

Grab your drink or your iced coffee, my friend. It's go time.
