Sisternomics

Mistakes, pivots, breaks and moments when I considered quitting. In this episode, I'm sharing what seven years of podcasting have taught me, especially for those of us over 45 who still have something to say.

I started Sisternomics at 49. I'm an OG at this point but sometimes I still wonder, am I too old? Do I still have the time (and the energy) to take this thing to the next level?

If a podcast, YouTube channel or creative project has been on your mind, this episode is your reminder: it is not too late.

School is now in session and already we're seeing teachers on IG and TikTok talking about how hard it is to teach these days. They're fed up with the poor performance, bad behavior and lack of respect they get.

Tajiri Freedom joins me to talk about what's actually happening in schools and what prompted her to start her own.

As a teacher, she saw kids being pushed from grade to grade even though they were not equipped. Is this happening with your kids?

In this convo, Tajiri shares warning signs to watch for, questions to ask at school and ways families and teachers can work together.

Highlights

• What Tajiri saw while teaching seventh graders

• Why kids can barely read, write or do math

• Why parents must partner with teachers

What have you been listening to lately? I don't just mean music. I mean the news, the conversations around you, and the thoughts that stay on repeat in your head.

In this solo episode, I'm talking about frequency as a spiritual way to think about what we consume and what we give our attention to.

I share a financial breakthrough that began with worship and gratitude, and what serving in Puerto Rico for 14 months after Hurricane Maria taught me about provision during difficult times.

If you've been feeling off, here are some ways you can get and stay tuned in to the frequency of heaven.

• 03:23 The frequency of the world versus the frequency of heaven

So, I'm bringing this Sisternomics conversation back because the message still matters. I'm also bringing it back because I still hear people saying, "I just don't feel like myself..." It doesn't have to be that way!

Dr. Karleena Tuggle McDaniel, aka Dr. K, explains how deficiencies in Vitamin D and iron can affect our energy, immunity and long-term health. She also breaks down the connection between gut health and mental clarity.

What would change if fear no longer had a vote in your money decisions?

A conversation with my friend got me thinking about all the ways fear can interfere with our income. We undercharge because we're afraid the client will say no. We hesitate to send the invoice because we're worried they can't afford it. We make ourselves available at all hours because we fear being replaced.

In this episode, I'm reaching into the Sisternomics archives for some timeless lessons about money, value and worth. I share how my own money stories contributed to years of under-earning and how goals, boundaries and systems can keep fear from running your business.

Fearless money doesn't mean you never feel nervous or uncomfortable. It means those feelings don't get to make the final decision.

I recently watched a documentary that was so good, I reached out to the producer and asked her to be my guest. She said yes!

In this episode of Sisternomics, I sit down with Emmy and Peabody Award-winning filmmaker Rita Coburn, director of the PBS documentary W.E.B. Du Bois: Rebel With a Cause.

We talk about what drew her to Du Bois, the surprises she uncovered along the way, and why his ideas still resonate more than a century later.

Rita also shares her own journey from journalism to documentary filmmaking, the power of telling Black stories on our own terms, and what she's learned about pursuing big dreams later in life.

In this episode:

• Why Rita felt compelled to tell Du Bois's story

• The four-year journey behind the documentary

• What most people misunderstand about Du Bois

• How storytelling shapes history and culture

• Why it's never too late to pursue your calling

I've talked to a lot of people over the years–probably thousands! Every now and then, a conversation cracks something open. This was one of those conversations.

In this encore episode of Sisternomics, therapist and trauma expert Kiki Stovall joins me for a discussion about trauma, imposter syndrome, self-doubt, and the hidden experiences that shape how we move through the world.

What I didn't expect was that the conversation would lead to a breakthrough of my own.

If you've ever found yourself questioning your worth, shrinking in rooms you've earned the right to be in, or wondering why certain patterns keep showing up in your life, this conversation may resonate.

Together, we candidly explore how unresolved experiences can quietly shape our ability to move forward.

In this episode:

• Why imposter syndrome is often more complicated than we think • The hidden ways trauma can influence our everyday lives • A simple framework for identifying emotional patterns and triggers • The question that can help you envision a different future • Why rest, support, and self-awareness are essential to healing • The breakthrough moment that changed the direction of our conversation
