  • Episode 16: 50 Shades Of Heartbreak
    ***TRIGGER WARNING***In this week’s episode, I peels back those extra extra introverted layers… some probably caused by the shades of heartbreak I endured, alongside this Mama journey. I mentioned what I’ve learned, how each changed me, and how I’ll carry them, fondly, to help me evolve as a better HUMAN.
