Hey, beautiful—let me ask you something.

Have you ever felt like you were grieving wrong?

Like you weren’t bouncing back fast enough… or healing strong enough… or smiling happy enough to “prove” you were okay?

Then this episode is for you.

I’m your host, Andrea B. Flintroy—therapist, confidence coach, and your personal hype woman when life gets heavy and healing feels hard.

In today’s episode, we’re talking about grief—not the tidy, filtered version—but the real, raw, holy mess of it. The kind that lingers. That surprises you in quiet moments. That makes you question if you're "doing it right."

We’re talking about healing—not as a timeline, but as a journey. One filled with tenderness, truth, and transformation.

And I brought someone special with me for this conversation.

I’m joined by Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Jasmine Dean-Dorsey—a woman of deep wisdom, clinical expertise, and lived experience. Together, we’re unpacking what it looks like to give yourself permission to grieve and reminding you that healing is not a straight line—it’s a sacred spiral.

You’ll hear:

• A She Shows Up Moment honoring the power of sharing grief openly and truthfully
• How Jasmine defines healing, and why it often feels like starting over
• Why so many Black women struggle to rest, release, and receive grace
• How to stop performing strength and start practicing softness
• The truth about shame, vulnerability, and why your process is not a performance
• What it really means to honor your wounds and your wins

PLUS: In our She Asked, I Answered segment, I’m responding to a powerful question from a Showstopper in North Carolina:
 “How do I give myself grace while I’m healing? I know I need to be gentle with myself, but I feel guilty for not being ‘strong’ all the time.”

Sis, we’re unpacking the truth behind guilt, grace, and God’s timing—and why you don’t have to perform strength to prove you’re healing.

You’ll get your Show Up Challenge—a gentle invitation to slow down, journal through your expectations, speak affirmations over your journey, and start giving yourself the same grace you so easily give others.

This episode is your reminder that grief doesn’t disqualify you from growth.

RESOURCE RECOMMENDATION:
If you’re navigating grief, forgiveness, or deep emotional wounds, I highly recommend checking out Forgiving What You Can’t Forget by Lysa TerKeurst. It’s a powerful and faith-filled guide to healing the heart—even when closure doesn’t come the way you expected. 

So hit play. Let’s talk grief. Let’s talk grace. Let’s heal.

Hey Beautiful! 💕

 Let’s keep it real—letting go sounds easy until you actually have to do it. People will tell you, “Just move on,” like it’s as simple as blocking a number or tossing out some pictures. But the truth? Letting go is messy, painful, and one of the hardest parts of healing.

In this episode of the She Shows Up Podcast, we’re getting honest about what it really takes to release what’s been holding you back. We’ll talk about the sting of facing what was done to you, the weight of what you tolerated even when you knew better, and the courage it takes to grieve the version of yourself that thought settling was love.

And in today’s She Shows Up Moment, I’m drawing inspiration from Midge Maisel in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel—a powerful reminder that even when life crumbles, you can rebuild, rediscover your voice, and rise stronger than before.

Sis, this is your reminder: freedom starts when you stop excusing what broke you and start choosing you. ✨

Tune in, share it with a friend, and don’t forget—showing up is a choice.

Hey Sis!
What if I told you that the very part of your story you’ve been trying to downplay… is the exact part God wants to use to deliver someone else?

That what you once called a mistake, He’s already marked as a miracle in the making?

I’m your host, Andrea B. Flintroy, a therapist, confidence coach, minister, and your reminder that you don’t need to be perfect to be powerful.

In this episode of She Shows Up, we’re getting real about something so many of us struggle with: Owning our stories.
Not just the highlight reel. Not just the healed version. But the raw, unfiltered, sometimes messy chapters that shaped our strength.

I’m sharing my own journey of becoming a teen mom at 17—and how, for years, I felt like I had to hide that part of me to be taken seriously. But God had other plans. He took my shame and turned it into purpose. That season of my life didn’t disqualify me—it qualified me.

You’ll hear:

• Why hiding your story is often tied to shame
• How to shift from self-protection to self-ownership
• Why your scars are sacred, not shameful
• And how your testimony might just be someone else’s breakthrough

PLUS:
We’ll honor the powerful story of Lisa Nichols (https://motivatingthemasses.com/), and how she turned $11.42 and a towel-wrapped baby into a life of purpose, abundance, and impact—all because she stopped hiding her truth.

In She Asked, I Answered, I’m responding to the question:
“How do I know when it’s time to share my story—even if I’m still healing?”
Sis… this one is honest, gentle, and full of God’s grace.

And as always, we’ll end with your Show Up Challenge: a journaling prompt, a voice memo practice, and a prayer to help you start owning your story without apology.

Because listen—your story matters.
It doesn’t have to be perfect.
It just has to be true.
And when you speak it, something shifts.

So hit play.
Let’s own the story.
Let’s reclaim the narrative.
Let’s show up.

Hey Sis! Let me ask you something.

Have you ever looked around at all the roles you’re holding, wife, mother, boss, caretaker, dreamer, and wondered… but who am I underneath it all?

Then this episode is definitely for you.

I’m your host, Andrea B. Flintroy, a therapist, confidence coach, minister, wife, mother, and the friend who will always remind you to choose you, even when the world pulls at every other piece of you.

Today, we’re getting real about the weight of titles, and the sacred work of not losing yourself in them.
 Because showing up isn’t just about doing, it’s about being.
Being whole. Being present. Being true to the woman God created you to be.

And I brought a phenomenal woman to walk with us through this truth.

I’m joined by Dr. Sabryna Herring-Antwine, licensed professional counselor, business owner, wife, mother, and an absolute powerhouse when it comes to balancing life and still making space for herself. Together, we’re unpacking what it really means to honor every role you carry without abandoning your own identity.

You’ll hear:

• My personal story of burnout and the moment God reminded me I’m not called to do it all alone in the She Shows Up Moment
• How Dr. Herring-Antwine learned to set boundaries, prioritize self-care, and trust God in the juggle
• A raw conversation about faith, marriage, motherhood, mental health, and showing up with intention
• What it means to shift from survival mode to soul alignment

PLUS: In our She Asked, I Answered segment, I’m answering a powerful listener question:
“How do I show up in a space of grief and continue to honor my loved one and myself?”
This one is filled with grace, faith, and practical ways to navigate the heaviness of new emotional seasons.

And of course, we’ll end with your Show Up Challenge—a Toni Jones-inspired practice to protect your peace, release people-pleasing, and walk boldly in your healed energy.

Sis, this episode is your permission to put the cape down… and pick you up.

So hit play.
 Let’s talk about balance. Let’s talk about grace.
 Let’s talk about you, the woman behind the titles.

Let’s show up.

Hey Beautiful! What if I told you that the person standing between you and your future success… is you? Specifically, the version of you you’ve been neglecting—your tomorrow self.

I’m your host, Andrea B. Flintroy—therapist, confidence coach, minister, mama, wife, and your personal hype woman when life gets heavy and grace feels hard to give.

In this episode, we’re diving deep into what it really means to show up for the woman you’re becoming. Not the woman with it all together. Not the highlight reel. But the version of you that needs more love, more grace, more truth—and less pressure to be perfect.

We’re talking about everyday choices, sacred moments, and honest reflections that shape the life you're building. Because the future you is watching. And she deserves your compassion—not your criticism.

You’ll hear:

• A powerful She Shows Up Moment inspired by Girls Trip and the courage it takes to stand in your truth
• Why brokenness doesn’t disqualify you—it refines you
• How grace, scripture, and self-affirmation can shift your mindset
• Why being kind to your tomorrow self isn’t soft—it’s spiritual
• What it means to embrace the cracks, the pain, and the purpose all at once

PLUS: You’ll get your Show Up Challenge for the week—a simple, yet powerful practice to help you reconnect with the woman you're becoming through self-reflection, journaling, or voice memo. Questions: Who am I in this moment? Who do I want to become?  How am I showing up for myself? 

Sis, this episode is your reminder that being kind to yourself is not a luxury—it’s a necessity. You are not behind. You are not broken. You are being built. And your tomorrow self is depending on the love you give her today.

So hit play. Let’s grow. Let’s take up space. Let’s be kind.

Hey beautiful, let me ask you this—have you ever walked into a room and instantly questioned if you belonged there? Like you had to shrink, prove, or perform just to feel worthy of the seat you already earned?

Then this episode is for you.

I’m your host, Andrea B. Flintroy—therapist, confidence coach, minister, wife, mother, and your personal hype woman when that imposter voice starts whispering lies.

Today, we’re unpacking the truth about imposter syndrome—what it really is, how it shows up (especially for Black women), and how we dismantle it from the inside out. Because listen… you are not in the room by accident. You are not a fraud. You are the assignment.

And I brought backup.

I’m joined by the powerhouse Dr. Shanae Herron—educator, leadership executive, faith-led entrepreneur, and a woman who knows what it means to take up space in systems that weren’t designed with us in mind. Together, we’re calling out the lies that try to keep us playing small and reclaiming the truth that you belong here.

You’ll hear:

• My personal story of being invited to speak on a panel and the moment I almost disqualified myself
 • Why credentials don’t determine calling—and how God qualifies the willing
 • A powerful conversation with Dr. Herron on confidence, faith, and fighting the imposter syndrome lie
 • Practical steps to reframe the lies and speak truth back to yourself

PLUS: In our She Asked, I Answered segment, I’m answering the question, “I’ve been praying for clarity, but I still feel unsure. How do I move forward when I don’t feel completely confident?” Sis, this one is honest, faith-filled, and full of practical wisdom you can apply right now.

And of course, you’ll get your next Show Up Challenge—a weeklong practice to help you replace the lies you've believed about yourself with the unapologetic truth of who you really are.

Sis, this episode is your reminder that you don’t owe anyone a smaller version of yourself. The world needs the full, bold, present YOU.

So hit play. Let’s dismantle the lie. Let’s take up space. Let’s show up.

You ready?

Unlocking the Power of Showing Up

Welcome to Episode 2 of the She Shows Up Podcast—the space where high-achieving women stop shrinking and start taking up space, unapologetically. 

Today, we’re diving into what it really means to show up—not just for work, not just for family, but for YOU. Because let’s be real, sometimes showing up looks like killing it in the boardroom—and other times it looks like crying in the car, taking a nap, or saying “no” without an explanation.

You’ll hear:

• The powerful story of Brenda, a woman who finally chose herself after years of carrying everything and everyone
•  A “She Shows Up Moment” from Tyler Perry’s She the People that reminds us what it looks like to fight through imposter syndrome
•  What showing up looks like when no one is watching and why it still matters
•  How to stop waiting for permission and start making room for the version of you that’s been tucked away
•  Why choosing you isn’t selfish

 PLUS: In our She Asked, I Answered segment, I’m answering the question, “How do I know if I’m really showing up or just going through the motions?” Spoiler alert: we’re getting all the way real.

And, you’ll get your next Show Up Challenge—something simple, intentional, and nourishing that brings you back to you.

This episode is your reminder that you don’t owe anyone a smaller version of yourself. The world needs the full, bold, present YOU.

So hit play. Let’s heal. Let’s take up space. Let’s show up.

You ready?

"She Shows Up—The Origin Story"
