  • What We Normalize (The Black Edition)

    What have we been taught to normalize as Black people — and is it time to break those patterns?


    In this Black History Month episode, I’m unpacking overworking, emotional suppression, loyalty over boundaries, silence for peace, and why struggle doesn’t have to define us.


    We’re also touching on the Evelyn Lozada clip, Bad Bunny’s halftime moment, and spotlighting powerful reads from Black authors.


    This one is reflective, honest, and necessary.

This isn’t about calling anyone out — it’s about calling all of us in.Bonus: This episode also includes a few book reviews and thoughtful treats sprinkled throughout — with one waiting for you at the very end, so be sure to listen all the way through 🎧✨
