In this deeply vulnerable episode of Sacred HERstory, Jennifer Natasia sits down with author, business consultant, and longtime self-development professional Denise Benz, author of the memoir Only My Face Was Smiling.

Known throughout her career as "The Fixer," Denise built a reputation for seeing what wasn't working, solving problems, managing crises, and helping others move forward. But beneath that strength lived a woman whose childhood experiences had taught her to stay vigilant, accommodate others, and keep moving—even when she was hurting.

Now, Denise is entering a different season.

A season of self-care, self-love, self-celebration, and finally allowing herself to be seen.

Together, Jennifer and Denise explore childhood trauma, emotional masking, relationships, faith, survival, writing as a form of truth-telling, and what happens when the woman who has spent her life fixing everything realizes:

Maybe I don't need to fix anything right now. Maybe it's finally time to choose me.

Sacred H.E.R.story Presents: Juicy & True Series
Raw, honest conversations on healing, womanhood, wellness, wealth, relationships, and everything in between.

In this Summer Solstice episode of Juicy & True, Jennifer Natasia "Sia" and Dr. Lori dive into one of the most unspoken realities of womanhood—the invisible emotional labor and mental load women carry every day.

From motherhood and caregiving to careers, relationships, and community obligations, women are often conditioned to pour into everyone else while quietly abandoning themselves in the process.

Together, Sia and Dr. Lori explore what it means to reclaim your identity beyond your roles, release people-pleasing, practice energetic hygiene, and create space to simply be—not just do.

This is a heartfelt conversation about boundaries, self-trust, authenticity, and the courage to finally choose yourself.

"The most radical thing a woman can do is remember who she is beneath the roles, the expectations, and the responsibilities. Because when she returns to herself, she returns to her power."

What is one thing you're ready to release this season so you can return home to yourself?
