People thought they knew me by my last name.

As a Johnson, I carried toughness like a badge. As an Elliott, I carried responsibility like it was my only identity. But neither name ever told the whole story of me.

In this episode, I share the weight of the names I inherited and married into — the expectations, the pressure, the invisible load. And I share what it meant to finally choose La’Joy — the name that feels like home, the name that reminds me not to let myself down.

This one is personal. It’s about postpartum, silent battles, and the glow that only comes from growth.

If you’ve ever felt unseen inside the labels you’ve carried, this episode is for you.
