As the year comes to a close, this episode of The Apology Accepted Podcast is about honoring how far you’ve come without explaining, justifying, or apologizing for your growth. This is a space to reflect on the lessons learned, the boundaries set, the relationships released, and the strength it took to keep going.

This episode is an invitation to close the chapter with grace, carry the wisdom forward, and walk into the new year grounded, healed, and unapologetically aligned.

Thanksgiving is over, but the emotional leftovers are real.
Whether your holiday was peaceful, heavy, joyful, or complicated… this episode is your space to unpack it all.

We’re talking about:
the feelings that showed up once the food and company were gone
the tension, joy, or exhaustion that lingered
and how to decide what to carry into your next season and what to release

Sometimes the hardest part isn’t the holiday itself…
it’s the emotions we’re left holding afterward.
You deserve room to process that.

The holidays can be beautiful, but for many women they can also be painful. Family trauma, old wounds, broken relationships, and the weight of grief can make this season feel heavier than expected. In this episode, we’ll talk about how to protect your peace, honor what you’re feeling, and give yourself permission to experience the holidays differently this year.

Today, I want to talk about navigating family trauma and grief during the holidays, how to protect your peace, and how to honor your healing in a season that doesn’t always honor you.

Purpose + Growth - Aligning your heart and faith with what’s ahead.

Description: As the year comes to an end, it’s easy to focus on what didn’t happen the missed goals, the doors that didn’t open, or the plans that didn’t go as  expected. But what if this season isn’t about what you lost, but about what you’re being prepared for?

Hey friends, welcome back to The Apology Accepted Podcast, the space where we dive into real conversations about healing, growth, and creating the life we deserve. I am your host LaTesha Monique, and I am so grateful to have you tune in to this episode! Whether you're tuning in for the first time or you're a returning listener, I’m so glad you’re here, this space is for you, Friend.

In this episode of The Apology Accepted Podcast, we’re talking about how to prepare your heart, faith, and mindset for what’s next. Together, we’ll explore how to reflect without regret, release what no longer serves you, and walk into the new year with confidence and peace.

This isn’t about rushing into resolutions; it’s about realignment. You’re not behind; you’re being positioned for something greater.

You Are Not a Burden. I want to talk about something that a lot of us carry quietly  this belief that we’re “too much,” that our feelings are inconvenient, or that our needs make us a burden to others.

If you’ve ever apologized for crying… for needing help… for taking up space… this episode is for you.


Because I want you to know something deep in your spirit, you are not a burden. You are human, and your needs are valid.

So today, we’re rewriting that shame script, the one that’s been telling you that you’re too emotional, too sensitive, too needy. Let’s talk about where that message comes from, how it shows up in our lives, and how we can begin to change it. For anyone who’s ever felt like “too much,” this is your reminder.

Hey friends, welcome back to The Apology Accepted Podcast, the space where we dive into real conversations about healing, growth, and creating the life we deserve. I am your host LaTesha Monique, and I am so grateful to have you tune in to this episode! Whether you're tuning in for the first time or you're a returning listener, I’m so glad you’re here, this space is for you, Friend. In this episode of The Apology Accepted Podcast, I’m talking about something so many of us experience but rarely discuss: burnout from poor leadership at work. If you’ve ever felt drained, undervalued, or frustrated in your workplace, this episode is for you because you deserve peace, clarity, and the tools to thrive even in challenging environments.

Reflective Questions

1.  Have you ever noticed when your job started affecting your peace outside of work? What were the first signs that something wasn’t right?”

2. How do you protect your energy in a work environment that feels draining or toxic? What boundaries have helped you?”

3.  If you could give your younger self one piece of advice about handling difficult managers or workplace stress, what would it be?”

Action Steps

1. Journal Your Burnout Triggers:

·       Write down the specific moments, tasks, or interactions that drain you the most at work.

·       Next to each, note if it’s within your control or outside your control.

2. Set One Boundary This Week:

·       Pick one thing you can say “no” to or one task you can delegate to protect your energy.

·       Practice asserting this boundary and notice how it affects your stress levels.

3. Identify Your Support System:

·       Make a list of people or resources that can support you professionally or emotionally (friends, mentors, colleagues, online communities).

·       Reach out to one person this week for advice, encouragement, or accountability.

4. Reflect on Wins:

·       At the end of the week, write down 3 moments where you successfully protected your energy or responded differently to poor leadership.

·       Celebrate small victories they are proof of your growth and resilience.

5. Plan Your Next Step:

·       Choose one long-term action for yourself this could be updating your resume, talking to HR, seeking mentorship, or creating a self-care routine.

·       Commit to taking one small step this week toward that goal.

This one is personal.
For years, I carried the pain of silence, the kind that hides behind a smile and whispers, “Just be strong.”
But strength doesn’t mean staying quiet. It means surviving. It means healing. It means rising.

In honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, I’m sharing a piece of my story, a poem called “She Rose Anyway.”
It’s real. And it’s for every woman who’s ever been told she’s not enough, not worthy, or not believed.

This episode isn’t just about pain, it’s about power.
It’s about what happens when you decide your story deserves to be heard.


Let’s break the silence together. 💜

Hey friends, welcome back to The Apology Accepted Podcast, the space where we dive into real conversations about healing, growth, and creating the life we deserve. I am your host LaTesha Monique, and I am so grateful to have you tune in to this episode! Whether you're tuning in for the first time or you're a returning listener, I’m so glad you’re here, this space is for you, Friend. Today’s episode is about faith, healing, and what it means to hold on when life feels too heavy. The theme we’re diving into is “Holding On When It’s Hard.” Now, I don’t know about you, but there have been seasons in my life where things just didn’t make sense. Times when the pain was louder than the answers, when I couldn’t see a way forward. And in those moments, faith became the rope I held onto sometimes barely, but enough to keep me going.

In this episode I want to dig deep into the truth that self-sabotage isn’t the same as self-protection. Many of us developed habits and patterns that once helped us survive tough situations, but over time, those same habits can quietly hold us back from growth, love, and opportunities. I want us to explore what it looks like to recognize these patterns, understand where they come from, and take steps to break free. Sometimes the patterns that once kept us safe are the same ones holding us back.

Tune in and let’s break free together!
