  • My Sister Never Had Menopause… My Mom Was Never Told About It

    My Sister Never Had Menopause… My Mom Was Never Told About It
    Mar 10 2026
    This week’s episode of Mama Never Told Me is a little different.

    Think of it as a pause between chapters.

    Over the next two episodes, I’m sitting down with two women from my own family to talk about something that many of us were never fully prepared for — menopause.

    First, you’ll hear my conversation with my sister Tinka.

    Her experience shocked me.

    She says menopause was like Bigfoot — something she heard about, but never actually saw.

    Same bloodline.
    Completely different body story.

    Then, just two days before her 79th birthday, I sit down with my mama.

    And when I asked her what it was like growing up as a woman before anyone explained menopause…

    she told me something that stopped me in my tracks.

    “Nobody ever explained nothing to me.”

    These two conversations reveal something powerful about women’s health across generations.

    Some women experience menopause in ways no one talks about.

    Some women never experienced the symptoms we’re told are “normal.”

    And many women from older generations were simply left to figure it out on their own.

    In the next two episodes we’re opening that conversation.

    Because some things mama never told us…

    …but we’re allowed to talk about them now.

  • When You Start Changing and Your Relationships Can’t Stay the Same

    When You Start Changing and Your Relationships Can’t Stay the Same
    Feb 24 2026
    You’re more tired than you used to be.
    More honest than you used to be.
    Less willing to tolerate what once felt “normal.” And now… your relationships feel different. Why does your patience feel thinner?
    Why do certain conversations feel heavier?
    Why do you need more space, more quiet, more boundaries than before? In this episode of Momma Never Told Me, Erica explores what happens when your body changes—and your relationships can’t stay the same. We’ll gently sit with questions like:
    • What shifts when you stop ignoring your own needs?
    • Why does physical exhaustion often lead to emotional honesty?
    • What happens when you no longer have the energy to over-explain yourself?
    • Are you becoming difficult—or just more aware?
    • How do relationships evolve when you stop abandoning yourself?
    This is not about blaming partners, friends, or family.
    It’s about understanding how your changing body reshapes your capacity, your boundaries, and your connection. If your relationships feel unfamiliar lately…
    if you feel guilty for needing more…
    if you sense something shifting but can’t quite name it— This conversation is for you.

  • When Emotions Speak Louder Than Words

    When Emotions Speak Louder Than Words
    Feb 17 2026
    Mood Swings, Anxiety, and Feeling “Not Like Yourself” Lately, your emotions feel different—and it’s unsettling. You’re more anxious than you used to be.
    More easily irritated.
    More overwhelmed by things that once felt manageable. Why do your emotions feel closer to the surface now?
    Why does anxiety show up without a clear reason?
    Why do you feel like you’re not quite yourself anymore? In this episode of Momma Never Told Me, Erica explores the emotional shifts many women experience but rarely feel prepared for—the mood changes, anxiety, and inner unrest that can arrive quietly and leave us questioning ourselves. We’ll gently explore questions like:
    • What if anxiety isn’t something to fix, but something to understand?
    • Why do emotional changes often show up alongside physical ones?
    • How does long-term stress and emotional suppression affect the nervous system?
    • What happens when emotions we’ve ignored finally ask to be felt?
    • How do we release the fear that something is “wrong” with us?
    This is not a conversation about controlling emotions or pushing them away.
    It’s a space to slow down, normalize what you’re feeling, and listen without judgment. If you’ve been feeling emotionally unsettled, more sensitive, or unlike yourself lately—this episode offers reassurance, context, and permission to breathe. 🎵 Music Attribution In A Sentimental Mood (En Vivo) by Chido Rivera

    🔗 Supporting Emotional Balance While You Listen This episode speaks to a moment many women recognize but rarely name—the feeling of being emotionally closer to the edge, more sensitive, more anxious, or simply not like yourself. At MAMA Never Told Me, we honor the idea that emotional shifts are not flaws. They are signals. And learning to listen to those signals often requires gentle, supportive practices, not pressure to “snap out of it” or force stability.
