As a Projector in Human Design being recognized for my actual energetic gifts is what lights me up. I'm sharing a peek into the community acknowledgement ceremony from my most recent community engagement project as a reminder to all versions of myself that, we are enough.

Hey Boo! Back like I never left for 6 weeks! It was an unplanned hiatus that I desperately needed to fill my cup so that I can continue to serve from my overflow, ya know? This week, we're discussing authenticity and showing tf up ESPECIALLY when clowns are sucking all of the air out of the room. The world needs your counter narratives! Where my fellow yappers at?

For real though, I'm talking about how podcasting is not a get rich quick hustle, rather a modern form of human connection and thought sharing. When you look at it that way, being viral and sponsored isn't the only currency to be gained by pressing record.

In this conversation, Coach Ebony shares her personal experiences with menopause, particularly focusing on the unique challenges faced by Black women. She discusses the physical and emotional symptoms of menopause, the cultural context surrounding these experiences, and the disparities in healthcare access. The conversation emphasizes the importance of community support and self-care strategies to navigate this life stage effectively.#menopause #perimenopause #blackwomen #healthdisparities #selfcare #reproductivejustice #podcast

After a summer break away from the mic, I’m back with an episode that comes straight from the heart. My father’s health crisis pulled me into a vortex of hospital rooms, difficult decisions, and the complex beauty of family dynamics. But it also became a masterclass in presence, a reclaiming of my personal power, and a profound reminder of the magic that shows up when community holds you.

This isn't a story about having all the answers. It’s a raw and real reflection on what it means to heal ourselves and our loved ones when life demands our entire presence. We talk about navigating the noise of social media in a crisis, the transformation that comes from stillness, and how to find gratitude even on the hardest days.

If you’ve ever had to be the strong one, felt lost in the whirlwind of a family emergency, or are simply seeking a deeper connection to your own capacity for healing, this conversation is for you.

I took a couple weeks off to mind my business and tend to my people 'nem in community. This week I'm reflecting on some changes I've been going through, what Self-care looks like in real-time, and insights from a recent consulting session with @TheRealityPriestess that gathered me.

We touch on grief as I am grappling with the end of life for my furbaby, Sir Avery James.

As always, I speak on the significance of coaching for Black women navigating corporate spaces, reflections on my own media consumption, and an #AskAuntie premier exploration of gender roles and intimacy!
