Last night, a member of the Meanwhile, She community sent me a DM that stopped me in my tracks: “Remember how sad you were this time last year, about your last retreat?” She was right — and what a year can change.

In this solo episode, I'm sharing what it looked like to burn the house down last fall — canceling my Italy retreat, ending things with a manager who had stopped believing in me, and postponing the podcast I had been dreaming about for years — and what it looked like to rebuild slowly, quietly, one boring decision at a time.

I'm also sharing where I sit today: with a podcast that has finally come to life, representation that actually believes in me, and a Mallorca retreat that's almost half booked in less than twenty-four hours.

If you're in a season right now where things are falling apart and you're wondering whether you should quit, cancel, or reroute — this one is for you. Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is give yourself permission to burn the house down and let the rebuild show you what's actually meant to be there.

You have one beautiful, sexy-ass life. Live it.

Meanwhile, She is a space for conversations on womanhood, identity, ambition, and the moments that define us.

There’s a version of you that has to be grieved before the next one can arrive.

This week I sit down with Kelly Augustine — celebrity stylist to Danielle Brooks and Gabourey Sidibe, Contributing Editor at Marie Claire, founder of StyledbyKAB — for a conversation that starts with clothes and ends somewhere much deeper.

We get into why styling is 80% psychology, the reset she needed after her divorce, what nobody tells you about meeting new moms in the middle of their body changes, how she navigated an industry that treated inclusivity as a trend and moved on, and the affirmation she’s leaning on right now: “I am here.”

What if the best chapter of your life hasn’t even started yet?

This week I sit down with Patti Roberts — Creator, co-host of Between Mothers and Daughters (with her daughter Kamaria), and one of the sharpest voices I’ve had on the show about what it actually takes to build something real in your 60s. She’s living proof that the doors don’t close when you think they do.

We get into hiring her own daughter as her business partner, three marriages and the lessons she carried out of each one, why she cleared decades of people out of her life to make room for the version of her she was stepping into, and the reframe she wants every woman over 35 to hear: “This is not the end of the road. This is just midway.”

Meanwhile, She is a space for conversations on womanhood, identity, ambition, and the moments that define us.

If you’ve been feeling like your life or your career is moving too slowly — this one is for you.

For years, I’ve been telling anyone who would listen that I’ve had “slow growth.” It was my shorthand. My peace with the process. My way of making sense of the eight years I’ve spent building this thing from the ground up. Then one comment from a longtime community member broke the mantra open.

In this solo episode — released on my 37th birthday — I walk through the one line that rewired how I see my career, take you through the receipts of everything I’ve actually built in the last eight years, unpack why the highlight-reel version of growth is a trap, and share the new question I’m carrying into this next year instead of the old label.

What if the biggest thing standing between you and the life you want is the yes you keep saying no to?

This week I sit down with Janesha Moore — the Philadelphia-based creator behind The Strategic Influencer, Move Moore, and the faith-based jewelry brand The Merciful Collective. Janesha was laid off from a corporate marketing role in 2023 and used that moment to build a multi-brand business that now reaches hundreds of thousands of women. But this conversation isn't about how she built the business. It's about who she's had to become to hold it — and what it actually feels like to be in what she calls a fighting season.

We get into how one yes to skydiving turned into the New York City Marathon and eventually Move Moore, why she believes God gives you assignments no one else can confirm, the “productive distractions” framework she uses to protect her focus, what her DMs have taught her about being an affiliate creator in a world that looks down on them, and the mantra she leans on every day: "I’ma cry, but I’ma continue."

What if rest and freedom aren't luxuries you have to earn over 40 years — but line items you can budget, plan, and take right now?

This week I sit down with Danica Nelson, a Toronto-based money educator and founder of Liberty Leave, the platform teaching women how to fund career breaks and sabbaticals without going broke. Danica grew up in social community housing raised by a single mother, put herself through university debt-free, and then engineered her own six-month solo sabbatical through Southeast Asia after saving for 18 months. She's on a mission to be "work optional by 45" and she's teaching women how to do the same.

We get into the three money buckets every woman needs to understand, why you can't budget your way out of not making enough money, the grandfather story that convinced her every woman needs a money binder, what slow travel actually looks like when you're not on vacation, and the 5 things to have in place before you take your own career break. And beneath all of it, the deeper thesis: that building wealth is the best form of love you can give yourself.

What if the follower count everyone said mattered… doesn't?

This week I sit down with Amber Mayfield Hewett — event producer, founder of To Be Hosted, author of Your Turn to Host, Forbes 30 Under 30, and the woman behind the New York Times–covered Central Park picnic 'To Celebrate Black Life and Leisure.' At 33, Amber is the youngest guest we've ever had on Meanwhile, She, and she's built a seven-figure event production business with clients like Pinterest, Spotify, Peloton, and Pepsi — all while barely touching Instagram.

We get into her non-linear path from the NBCUniversal Page Program to shooting Snapchat content for the Real Housewives at Bravo to producing $200K+ dinner parties, the Six-Figure Rule she gave her team about when she'll start posting on social, why she calls laughter "an underrated KPI," the truth about being married and refusing to be defined by it, what watching B. Smith taught her about what her career could be, why "on time is late" and she's fired people over it, and what it actually feels like to have accomplished this much this early.

What if real luxury isn’t simply being able to afford more—but owning enough of your life that no one else gets to decide what happens to it?

This week I sit down with Beverly Beal, an intellectual property attorney, founder of Fine Line Non-Alcoholic Spirits and GiftBiz, and part of the family behind a growing community coffee shop in Detroit. Beverly has never been especially interested in following the timeline handed to her. Her philosophy is “delusion over doubt,” and beneath the humor and audacity is a woman who has spent years building the experience, skills, and self-trust to know that even if she lost everything tomorrow, she could build it back.

We get into the mother who made sure Beverly saw a world beyond her immediate surroundings, how moving to a new city without much of a social life unexpectedly led her to start her own law firm, and the thread of ownership running through everything she touches—from helping people protect their ideas to creating businesses, investing, and building gathering spaces in her own community. We also talk about the ulcerative colitis diagnosis that reshaped how she moves through work and wellness, why confidence comes during the process rather than after the achievement, her growing obsession with day trading, why women need to talk about money without shame, and the difference between earning a living and constructing a life that truly belongs to you.
