Why do we avoid therapy until life feels too heavy to handle?

In this powerful conversation with therapist Daniella Kadene, we explore how therapy helps us heal trauma, release emotional weight, and understand why we sometimes stay in unhealthy relationships out of fear, survival, or safety.

We also touch on the unique pressures faced by Black men, Black women, and single mums, and how therapy can become a life-changing space for growth and peace.

Watch to learn how therapy can help you move from survival mode to healing.

In this episode, I sit down with two familiar faces Dwayne and Danny for what turned into an open and vulnerable conversation about our mental wellbeing as parents, something we rarely stop to check in on.

We talked about how so many of us pour everything into our children while quietly running on empty, believing that sacrifice equals love. But what if that isn’t always what’s best in the long run?

From parent guilt that weighs just as heavy on non-resident parents, to the fear that keeps us stuck, living in fear of the worst instead of hope for the best.

This conversation is one that so many parents need to hear.

Sometimes, taking care of yourself is taking care of your children.

In this powerful and honest conversation, I sit down with Paige Lewin, author of “How to Love Your Afro”, to explore her deeply personal journey of self love, identity, and healing.

Paige opens up about what it truly means to learn to love the girl she sees in the mirror, her search for the love and protection she never felt from a Black man, and how she’s learned to accept her father’s inconsistencies while loving him through them.

Together, we unpack the struggles so many young people face today, battling self-doubt, comparison, and the feeling of never being “good enough” in a world that constantly tells us otherwise.

✨ If you’ve ever struggled to accept yourself, questioned your worth, or wanted to break free from the narratives you were handed, then this conversation is for you.

In this episode, we dive into one of the biggest questions in relationships: What makes a good partner vs. what makes the right partner?

We explore the subtle but powerful differences, why “good” doesn’t always mean “right,” and how to recognise when someone truly aligns with your values and your journey.

We also tackle a question many coparents struggle with: What does it mean to accept your coparent, but not tolerate bad behaviour?

From boundaries to communication, we break down what healthy acceptance looks like without enabling disrespect, inconsistency, or toxicity.

If you’re navigating dating, relationships, or the challenges of coparenting, this conversation will give you clarity and practical takeaways to move forward with confidence.
