What does it mean to owe it to yourself to get to the other side? Social worker and mother of twins Keisha takes us on a journey from fast-paced London to a gentler-paced Tanzania, where she learned to question her relationship with busyness and the "shoulds" that kept her moving. We discuss intergenerational trauma, post-traumatic slave syndrome, and how patterns pass down through families - sometimes in our bodies, sometimes through the stories we tell our children about themselves.
Keisha shares how becoming a mother shifted her from trying to save everyone to protecting her own emotional capacity, why she doesn't watch the news anymore, and the isolating myth that motherhood gets easier. This is a conversation about choosing what's yours to carry, designing a life based on your values, and the radical act of slowing down in a world that demands you keep moving.
