In this honest solo episode, Theo invites you to sit at the coffee table for a raw reflection on what it really costs to choose your own happiness and why so many people try to talk you out of it.

Have you ever felt stuck in a loop of thoughts that just won’t stop? Like your mind is going 100 mph, but your spirit is begging you to pause?

In today’s episode, I’m talking about the all-too-familiar experience of mental gridlock—when overthinking takes over, and we disconnect from our body, our heart, and even the moment we’re living in.

We’ll explore how to reclaim your presence, your peace, and your joy—without shame, without pressure, and without needing to fix everything all at once.

This one’s for the overachievers, the deep feelers, and anyone who’s tired of spinning their wheels.

Come take a break. Your heart knows the way.

A personal, heart-on-the-sleeve reflection on why visibility isn’t vanity—it’s healing. From growing up as a queer, Korean-born transracial adoptee with no mirrors to follow, to choosing daily to become that mirror for someone else, Theo unpacks the power of being seen, the courage of showing up authentically, and the living legacy we create when we dare to take up space. Pour a cup, settle in, and remember: your presence might be the permission someone else has been waiting for.

In this heart-centered conversation, Kylia Joyce joins Theo at the coffee table to share what it means to be a doula and an abolitionist, leading with tenderness through her company, You Are Seen Doula Services.

With courage and clarity, she speaks on what it takes to advocate for justice — even when it makes others uncomfortable — and the lived experience of growing into womanhood as a Black person in today’s world.

From identity and resilience to rest and resistance, Kylia opens up about her journey of healing through service, redefining success, and choosing softness as a form of protest.

☕ Come sit at the coffee table — you’ll leave feeling seen, stirred, and kindly reminded: to be on the right side of history, you must choose it for yourself.
