Becoming Her: In Real Time

This episode is the beginning of my journey—not from the finish line, but from right in the middle of it. It didn’t start with motivation or a perfect plan. It started with a realization… I wasn’t really present in my own life. In this episode, I share what led me there, the small steps that started changing everything, and why I created Generation She. This isn’t about perfection or overnight transformation. It’s about learning to listen to yourself, showing up in small ways, and becoming someone you recognize again. I’ll be sharing monthly updates—what I’m working on, what I’m learning, and what this journey looks like in real life. If you’ve ever felt disconnected or stuck… this episode is for you. Because becoming her doesn’t happen all at once— it happens when you choose to show up… and stay.

The Weight of Worry: Anxiety and Our Health

In this episode, I sit down with my sister-in-law Corene, and my daughter, Danyell, for a real and honest conversation about anxiety and how it impacts our lives. We share our personal experiences navigating anxiety, worry, and mental health, and what that looks like in everyday life. Danyell opens up about her struggles with anxiety and depression, including living with a disorder that causes non-epileptic seizures. Her story highlights the powerful connection between mental and physical health, and the challenges that can come with it. We also discuss how mental health is misunderstood- especially within the healthcare system- and how those experiences can affect whether people feel seen, heard, and supported. Corene shares the strategies she uses to manage anxiety and worry, offering practical ways to cope and find moments of calm. This episode is about honesty, resilience, and breaking stigma- while reminding you that you're not alone.
