Today, we welcome guest Dr. Simbi Animashaun, who shares her story that begins with a pounding headache during a night class at grad school and unfolds through the heartbreak of miscarriage and the isolation of stroke recovery.

Join us as she reflects on rediscovering her strength, reclaiming her purpose, and embracing her second chance with clarity and conviction.
