Listen now to be reminded that you are not behind — you’re just in a chapter that still deserves beauty. 💛

What if I lied to myself?

What if this really isn't my purpose? What the fuck is my purpose? This past week has been an emotionally charged one. One that has made me question everything I thought I knew about myself. I've been chasing this dream all while not feeling good enough. This caused me to in a constant cycle of motivation, excitment, and hten a hard stop of "Baby girl this aint you!: Did I lie to myself about my purpose?

Have any of you ever felt like this? Like you knew who you were and what your purpose was, and then... nothing. When the passion or purpose you had doesn't feel as you thought it would.

This week, we explore the concept of purpose, how we seek it, and how to master it.

From the legacy of the “Strong Black Woman” stereotype to the ways survival patterns show up in our health, relationships, and careers, this conversation uncovers how the pain of our past continues to shape our present.

But we don’t stop there—together, we reflect on how we can shift from merely surviving to truly thriving. Through honest storytelling, reflection questions, and affirmations, this episode offers space to honor our ancestors’ resilience while choosing healing, rest, and freedom for ourselves.

✨ Because we are more than survivors—we are builders, dreamers, and healers.

From breaking free of hustle culture to understanding the seven different types of rest we all need, this conversation will remind you that healing requires stillness, not just striving.

✨ Healing when no one claps for you… It hits different. No awards. No “I’m proud of you.” Just you, showing up for yourself in silence. And that counts too.

This episode is for the ones doing the work behind closed doors. The ones setting boundaries, feeling the grief, breaking cycles, without a single person saying thank you.
