We explore why Black women must be centered in cancer research, the deeper social and environmental factors that influence health outcomes, and how long term data can reshape the future of prevention, diagnosis, and ca...

Lately, I’ve noticed something tender surfacing in conversations with women my age — a quiet awareness of mortality. When someone around us passes, especially unexpectedly, it can stir fear, questions, and a deeper reflection on our own lives. In this episode, I’m opening up about mortality anxiety and the emotions that come with realizing time isn’t limitless. Not from a place of fear, but from a place of honesty.

In this mini episode, we’re talking about the subtle (and not-so-subtle) signs it may be time to slow down. Not because you’re failing. Not because you’re falling behind. But because your body, your energy, and your spirit are asking for it.

We’ll explore how to listen to your body before it forces you to stop, release the fear of “letting people down,” and reframe rest as part of the work — not a reward for exhaustion. If...

This week’s episode is a conversation that feels especially close to home. I’m sitting down with a longtime client — a mom, academic director, and a woman who, like so many of us, has spent years putting everyone else first.

What you allow into your mind every day is shaping your confidence, your courage, and your capacity to dream bigger, whether you realize it or not.

In this episode, I dive into Chapter 7 of The Magic of Thinking Big by David Schwartz and explore the concept of your mental diet; the thoughts, conversations, media, and environments you consume daily. Just like your physical diet impacts your body, your mental diet direc...

We all say we’re “busy.” But busy doesn’t always mean fulfilled. In this episode, I’m reflecting on key themes from The Happier Hour by Cassie Holmes and sharing three practical ways to get your time back without waking up earlier, doing more, or overhauling your entire life. This conversation is about shifting how we experience our hours, not just how we fill them.

We’ll talk about:

• Why disorganization quietly drains yo...

In part two of this powerful conversation, I continue my dialogue with Marcellus Womack as we move from reflection into embodiment. We pick up where we left off—exploring the courage it takes to believe in our own uniqueness, to positively reinforce one another, and to quiet the self-doubt that keeps us questioning our purpose.

Marcellus challenges us to consider where we are in our own journey—are we beginning, winning, o...

In this episode, I’m opening up about my own experience with getting an annual exam and preventative health screenings. Sadly, this is the kind of check-in we often put off, but that can truly change everything.
