Sis, it’s time to stop playing the background and step into your main character energy! In this episode of The Good Homegirl Podcast, we’re talking about what it really means to be the star of your own life, take up space unapologetically, and move like the powerhouse you were meant to be.

First, let’s break down what main character energy actually is. It’s not about being arrogant or self-absorbed—it’s about owning your presence, making intentional choices, and refusing to let life happen to you. It means prioritizing yourself, setting boundaries, and creating a life that feels good to you—not just one that looks good for others. When you walk into a room, people feel your energy because you move with purpose and confidence.

Now, let’s talk about what’s blocking your main character moment. Maybe you’ve been dimming your light to make others comfortable. Maybe you’ve been playing the supporting role in relationships, friendships, or even at work. Maybe you’re stuck in a cycle of overthinking, doubting yourself, or waiting for “the right time” to show up fully. But here’s the truth: the right time is now. No more shrinking yourself or asking for permission to be that girl.

So, how do you tap into main character energy?

At the end of the day, stepping into your power isn’t about being perfect—it’s about being authentic, confident, and fearless in your own journey. You deserve to be the leading lady in your life, so stop waiting for someone else to give you the role. Sis, this is your movie—act like it!

Grab your drink, turn the volume up, and let’s talk about how to step into your era of main character energy! 🎬✨

n this episode of The Good Homegirl Podcast, we’re getting into a topic that’s all too real: sister-in-laws who act like your man is theirs. Whether it’s overstepping boundaries, trying to play second wife, or just being way too involved, we’re talking about where this behavior comes from and why it’s a problem.

First, we break down what enmeshment is—when family relationships become so intertwined that boundaries don’t exist. Enmeshment often happens in families where there’s an unhealthy level of attachment, making it hard for people to separate their roles. In this case, that might look like a sister-in-law feeling entitled to time, attention, and decision-making influence in her brother’s life in a way that disrespects his romantic relationship.

Then, we call out the red flags that show a sister-in-law is too invested in your man’s life. This can include:

Next, we get into the root causes of this behavior. Sometimes, it’s cultural—some families raise women to be second mothers to their brothers, making it hard for them to “let go” when he’s with someone else. Other times, it’s emotional—if she’s used to her brother being her go-to for support, she may feel like his partner is replacing her. And in some cases, it’s just straight-up toxic attachment and control.

So, how do you set boundaries and check this behavior? We talk about:

At the end of the day, your relationship should be a partnership between you and your man—not a trio that includes his sister. If he refuses to set boundaries, that’s a him problem just as much as it’s a her problem. We wrap up the episode with personal stories, advice for women dealing with this, and a real talk moment: if a man can’t stand up for his relationship, is he really ready to be in one?

This is one of those conversations that hits deep, so grab your tea and let’s get into it!

In this episode of The Good Homegirl Podcast, we dive deep into Robert Greene’s The 48 Laws of Power—a book that’s equal parts strategy, psychology, and, let’s be real, a little bit of manipulation. But power isn’t just about being ruthless—it’s about understanding how the world works and making sure you’re not being played.

We start by discussing what power really is—not just in terms of money or status, but influence, presence, and knowing how to move in different spaces. Whether it’s business, relationships, or everyday life, The 48 Laws of Power gives you a playbook on how to maneuver strategically.

From there, we break down some of the most talked-about laws:

Throughout the episode, we talk about how these laws apply to real life, whether you’re navigating friendships, corporate politics, or even social media. We also keep it real about the morality of power—just because you can use these strategies doesn’t always mean you should. Power without wisdom can backfire.

Finally, we reflect on which laws we’ve seen in action, which ones are low-key toxic, and how to use them in a way that aligns with who you are. The goal isn’t just to be powerful—it’s to be smart, aware, and intentional in how you move.

In this episode of The Good Homegirl, we dive into the complex and often unspoken reality of mother-daughter relationships. Growing up, our mothers are supposed to be our first protectors, but what happens when they’re also our first bullies? I open up about my personal experiences with a mother whose words and actions shaped my self-esteem in ways I’m still unpacking.

We explore the fine line between "tough love" and emotional harm, the lasting effects of childhood criticism, and the journey toward healing. Whether you’ve experienced this firsthand or know someone who has, this episode offers validation, insight, and the reminder that breaking cycles is possible.

Tune in as we discuss how to reclaim our self-worth, set boundaries, and rewrite the narrative for future generations.
