• How to define success for your season of life

• What healthy partnership and collaboration look like in marriage

Sis, this one is for the woman standing at the edge of change—unsure if she’s falling apart or finally coming home to herself.

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Patrice Lockhart, author of The Butterfly Knew, to talk about menopause in a way you’ve probably never heard before. This isn’t just about hot flashes, brain fog, and sleepless nights—it’s about the emotional unraveling, the spiritual awakening, and the deep rebirth of identity that this season brings.

Patrice invites us to see menopause not as an ending, but as a metamorphosis—a sacred rite of passage into our most authentic, unapologetic selves. With wisdom, warmth, and honesty, she reminds us that this is our invitation to rise, renew, and reclaim our power.

What if your child’s voice is there—but just needs the right bridge to bring it into the world?

In this episode, I sit down with Elissa R. Mandel, a late-diagnosed autistic and ADHD speech-language pathologist and autism clinical specialist who founded Speech Works by Elissa. Her mission? To empower parents of non-speaking and speech-delayed children with tools and strategies to help their kids talk, communicate, and truly thrive.

Elissa’s unique perspective as both a neurodivergent professional and a compassionate guide allows her to connect deeply with the children and families she serves. She’s also an expert cast member on the upcoming TV series Legacy Makers, where her work continues to inspire and educate on a bigger stage.

We explore:
🗣️ Why late diagnosis shaped her approach to communication therapy
🗣️ Common misconceptions about non-speaking children
🗣️ How parents can create a supportive communication environment at home
🗣️ The role of patience, creativity, and connection in speech development
🗣️ Why every child’s communication journey is unique—and worth celebrating

Sis, this one is for the woman who’s tired of doing it all.

The one who’s been hustling for her worth, holding it down for everyone else, and wearing strength like armor… but secretly craves softness, stillness, and the kind of love that doesn’t require struggle.

In this gentle, yet powerful episode, I sit down with Chanel Diane—a Feminine Empowerment Coach with a background in therapy—who helps women shift out of survival mode and into a more peaceful, magnetic version of themselves.

With every word, Chanel invites us to breathe deeper, to slow down, and to remember that softness is not weakness—it’s sacred.

We talk about what it really means to feel safe in your body, to trust your voice, and to reclaim your feminine energy without shame or apology. All of this while imagining ourselves wrapped in a cozy blanket, with the flicker of a candle and the quiet hum of healing in the background.

In this episode, we explore:

🌙 What survival mode actually looks like in your daily life
💖 How to feel safe letting go of control (without losing yourself)
✨ The path to soft confidence and magnetic energy
🕯️ The power of slowness, sensuality, and self-trust
🌸 Why healing the feminine is not about perfection—but permission

If your soul has been whispering “I want to feel safe, soft, and seen again,” this episode will feel like a deep exhale.
