Hi Community,

This week’s episode marks the final chapter of A Cup Full. For the past three years, this podcast has been one of the most fulfilling journeys of my life. From the late nights of research, the joy of recording, the challenges of editing, and the excitement of sharing each episode with you, every moment has taught me something and shaped me in ways I’ll always carry forward.

It has become clear that it’s time to gently close this beautiful chapter so I can make space for what comes next. I take with me the lessons, the growth, and the joy of knowing that this space touched hearts, mine included.

Thank you for every listen, every share, and every kind word along the way. Your support has meant more than I can ever express, and I will always hold this community close.

Hi Community!

In this weeks episode, I open up about what it’s meant to me grow, to heal, and to finally accept the version of myself I’ve become.

I’m no longer the person I was two years ago — and that realization has come with grief, discomfort, clarity, and ultimately, peace.

This episode is a reflection on the power of inner work, the courage it takes to walk away from what no longer serves you, and the strength in choosing yourself — over and over again.

I share what healing from childhood trauma has revealed to me, how I’ve stopped living to please others, and why I’ve made hard decisions like going no-contact with a parent.

If you’re in a season of change, becoming, or acceptance — this is your sign that you’re not alone. Your growth is valid. Your boundaries are holy. And your transformation is worth being proud of.

You are allowed to evolve. You are allowed to let go. And most importantly, you are allowed to be okay with who you’ve become.

Hi Community!

In this powerful and heartfelt episode, I’m joined by psychotherapist Mmampho Tswene for a transformative conversation on how talk therapy can support the healing of childhood trauma. Drawing from both her professional expertise and lived experience, Mmampho helps us understand how early emotional wounds can shape our adult lives — and how therapy offers a path to healing, awareness, and self-compassion.

We unpack what trauma looks like when it goes unspoken, how it shows up in our relationships, and why creating a safe, non-judgmental space through talk therapy is so crucial for inner child work. Mmampho also shares insights into the therapeutic process, common fears clients face, and the beauty of slowly reconnecting with parts of ourselves we had to abandon to survive.

If you've ever questioned whether healing is possible, this episode will remind you that it is — with the right tools, support, and a willingness to go inward. Tune in for a gentle yet profound invitation to choose yourself, your peace, and your healing.

Here's how to have an intentional and productive 2025: Setting SMART goals and create healthy habits

https://open.spotify.com/episode/3oIB3IB0u0XhWxCf3A1Qgq?si=e91116430050491d

Hi Community!

In this weeks episode I open up about my personal journey of improving my relationship with money — the highs, the lows, and the lessons learned along the way. I share how I made the intentional decision to become more financially literate and how that choice has helped me redefine what it means to save, grow, and live with intention.

We often think we need to have it all together or wait until we’re earning more to start saving or investing in ourselves — but I’ve learned that a little really does go a long way. From small savings habits to redefining luxury as peace of mind, I talk about the power of living within your means and how that, too, is a form of self-love and abundance.

This episode is a gentle reminder that pouring into yourself doesn’t always look like splurging — sometimes, it’s choosing sustainability, discipline, and financial wellness. Let’s sip on that truth together.
