  • Growing at Your Own Pace & Trusting the Process
    2026/07/20

    This week on Highly Talkative Podcast, we're talking about growth in every sense of the word—our kids, ourselves, and our mindset.

    Why do we expect every child to develop on the exact same timeline? Are milestone charts helpful, or do they sometimes create unnecessary anxiety for parents? I'm sharing my thoughts on why comparison can do more harm than good and why every child's journey deserves to be respected.

    I'm also opening up about my own mindset shift. From creating a vision board to becoming intentional with my habits, I'm learning that the future I've always imagined is starting to feel more real. We'll talk about discipline over motivation, staying organized, and how your daily habits shape the life you're trying to build.

    We'll also dive into my spiritual journey, why I've become more interested in spirituality, the conversations around religion vs. spirituality, and how comforting it was realizing I'm not the only person asking these questions.

    Plus, can we talk about baby gear?! Why is finding the "perfect" travel stroller harder than buying a car? 😂 Nine years later and everything seems twice as expensive! I'll also share what traveling solo with an infant was really like, what made the trip easier than expected, and the must-have items I wouldn't leave home without.

    Sometimes growth isn't loud—it's simply trusting the process.

  • One Boat, Too Many Questions & Friend Groups That Just DON'T Work 😳
    2026/07/13

    I learned a valuable lesson... I will NEVER record another podcast while my son is awake AND having a sleepover! 😂 The show had to go on, but y'all are definitely going to hear the chaos.

    This week we're diving into whether it's actually possible to successfully merge friend groups without everything becoming awkward. How many chances do you give it before accepting that some friendships just don't mix? And let's be honest...how many group chats do we really have?

    We're also discussing the heartbreaking death of Noah Wells and the many unanswered questions surrounding what happened over the Fourth of July weekend. We'll talk about the timeline, why so many people are questioning the events, and whether parents are wrong for being cautious when their child is the only Black kid in a friend group or neighborhood.

    Plus...unexpected expenses. Those random charges, forgotten subscriptions, double payments, and the frustrating wait to get YOUR money back after it's already disappeared from your account. We've all been there.

    💬 Question of the Week: Have you ever successfully meshed different friend groups together?

  • Am I Smarter Than a 4th Grader?! Therapy Fails, Dating Standards & Why Discipline Always Wins
    2026/07/07

    This week on Highly Talkative Podcast, we're getting real about the life lessons that have been humbling me lately.

    My oldest challenged me to stop cursing...and surprisingly, it actually worked. 🤯 Now I'm paying closer attention to what comes out of my mouth and realizing just how much influence our kids really have over us.

    We're also talking about why elementary school homework suddenly feels harder than I remember (seriously...what ARE they teaching these kids?! 😂), how I accidentally skipped therapy for TWO whole weeks (yes...I know 😩), and why some people only want to be heard without ever listening to anyone else.

    Plus...

    💰 Are side hustles becoming mandatory in today's economy?

    ❤️ Are my dating standards unrealistic...or am I simply refusing to settle?

    🔥 Why discipline—not motivation—is the real secret to reaching your goals.

    This episode is funny, honest, relatable, and packed with conversations that'll have you reflecting on your own life while laughing right along with me.

  • Everyone Has an Opinion... So Let's Talk About It ⭐
    2026/06/29

    This week on Highly Talkative Podcast, Baby Lady L joins me once again as we dive into everything from creating a more intentional life to breaking down some of today's biggest conversations.

    We're talking about waking up with purpose instead of simply reacting to whatever the day throws at us, setting realistic goals, and giving ourselves room to grow without lowering our standards.

    We'll also discuss the latest developments surrounding the ongoing legal proceedings in the Karmelo Anthony case, what an appeal could involve in general, why trial strategy—such as whether a defendant testifies—is often complex, and the questions many people are asking as the case continues.

    Then we're switching gears into money—because it's time to start learning! We'll discuss investing, understanding the stock market, beginner-friendly approaches, common questions about getting started, and why financial education matters.

    We'll also compare wills vs. trusts, discuss probate, estate planning, and why planning ahead matters no matter your age.

    And more...

  • Grace, Growth & Getting Called Fat: The Postpartum Chronicles
    2026/06/23

    This week on Highly Talkative Podcast, I'm talking about what life has really looked like lately. From trying to master time management with three kids, squeezing gym sessions into newborn life, and learning the difference between giving yourself grace versus making excuses. I'm also sharing some exciting opportunities happening behind the scenes, thoughts on working with friends, and why supporting Black-owned businesses means so much to me.

    Plus, we discuss my Juneteenth experience, the flyer that absolutely pissed me off, another successful San Antonio trip with Baby Girl and the boys, and the weight comment that had me wondering why some men still think commenting on a woman's body is acceptable.

    Real life. Real laughs. Real conversations.

  • Another Year Older, Another Season of Growth | Friends, Football, Motherhood & AI
    2026/06/09

    This week, I'm sharing a little life update! From celebrating my birthday, my oldest trying to plan a surprise party, and spending time with friends who always show up for me, to realizing that sometimes birthdays are just another day and that's okay.

    We're also talking football season! I'm excited to jump back into my role as the "media person," cover preseason tournaments, and enjoy all the energy that comes with the start of a new season.

    Summer is officially here, and we're making memories without spending a fortune. I'm sharing some of our favorite budget-friendly fun and plans for an upcoming mini vacation.

    Plus, let's talk motherhood. I don't believe I'm dealing with postpartum depression, but I have noticed some anxiety around leaving the house and being away from my baby girl. Add in my therapist being on PTO, and it's definitely been an adjustment as I continue doing the work and navigating this season of life.

    And finally, we're diving into the growing role of AI in our everyday lives. From schools and jobs to resumes and companionship, where do we draw the line between helpful and concerning?

    Grab a drink and join the conversation as we talk life, motherhood, football, friendship, mental health, and the future of AI.
