In this special Father’s Day episode, I’m opening up about the first time I met my dad—at 14 years old—and how that experience was. This episode is also a tribute to the men who showed up in powerful ways—whether through consistency, protection, guidance, or even their absence.

This one’s for the girls who missed out, the women still healing, and the fathers (by blood or by bond) who made a difference.

In this episode of Loc’d In & Loaded, we’re getting honest about what healing really looks like—the messy, beautiful, frustrating, and freeing parts of it. I unpack three powerful themes: healing in public, healing with boundaries, and healing while still hurting.If you’ve ever found yourself in a season of transformation but still carrying pieces of pain, this episode is for you. It’s a reminder that you’re not alone, you’re not broken—and your healing is valid, even on the hard days.

In this episode, I get real about what it means to “become” when life feels like a constant juggling act. I talk about burnout, time pressure, financial stress, and the unspoken weight of trying to keep it all together. This isn’t a highlight reel—it’s the messy middle. If you’ve ever felt like you’re just barely staying afloat while the world expects you to shine, this one’s for you. Let’s unpack what it looks like to grow, rest, and honor our limits in the middle of the chaos.

Press play if you need a moment to breathe and feel seen.
