Mother’s Day isn’t joyful for everyone—in fact, for many, it can be a tender reminder of deep loss. In this special tribute episode, I’m joined by my two best friends, Rakisha and Katrina — fellow motherless daughters as we honor the women who raised us, shaped us, and continue to live on through us. Rather than dwell in grief, we choose celebration. We’re sharing the vibrant personalities of our mothers, the things that make us smile when we think of them, the wisdom they passed down, and the unique legacies they left behind. This episode is a love letter to our moms and a gentle reminder that even in their absence, their presence is still felt.

Whether you’ve lost your mother or are simply missing her more than usual, this one’s for you.

If you’ve ever found yourself dating potential, rescuing broken hearts, or losing yourself trying to be "the one," this episode is especially for you.

In this episode of The Powder Room, we’re diving into the world of red flags—what they really mean, how our past experiences shape the way we interpret them, and why sometimes, what we see as a red flag might just be a difference in perspective. From true signs of concern to misunderstandings rooted in fear or past hurt, we’ll explore it all.

I’ll share a few personal stories that highlight moments when I got it right—and when I didn’t—and we’ll talk about specific behaviors to keep an eye on, as well as those that deserve a closer look before being dismissed. Most importantly, we’ll discuss the power of communication: how asking questions and having honest conversations can help us better understand each other instead of jumping to conclusions. 

This episode is a gentle reminder not to be so focused on spotting red flags that we miss the green ones.
