: 🎙️ Episode 1: “Better, Not Bitter” featuring LaCole Smith – Uncomfortable Situations Podcast In our debut episode of Uncomfortable Situations, hosts Simone O. Higginbotham and Jade Miller sit down with special guest LaCole Smith for a raw, real, and refreshingly honest conversation about healing, self-worth, and the power of choosing growth over resentment. LaCole opens up about her personal journey through betrayal, disappointment, and the emotional aftermath of life not going as planned. Together, we unpack how uncomfortable situations can become defining moments—if we let them. This episode dives into:

• Breaking the silence around emotional pain
• The courage it takes to choose “better” when “bitter” feels easier
• How to rewrite your narrative after you’ve been broken
• The role faith, therapy, and sisterhood play in our healing

Whether you're navigating your own discomfort or supporting someone who is, this episode is a must-listen for anyone ready to face the truth, do the work, and come out stronger on the other side. 🎧 Tune in. Let’s get uncomfortable… so we can heal.
