Before inviting other women to share their stories on Between Rooms, I wanted to begin with one of my own.

In this solo episode, I read from “The Mentor,” a chapter from my memoir about the women who shape us, the rooms where we learn who we might become, and the complicated ways guidance, admiration, ambition, and longing can live together.

This is not the most catastrophic room in my story, but it is one of the quieter ones that shaped me deeply. It is about being seen, learning to listen, and beginning to understand that strength is not always about holding everything together. Sometimes, it is about telling the truth about what formed us.

Between Rooms is a place for women’s honest stories — the loud ones, the quiet ones, and the ones we are still learning how to name.
