Today’s episode is a little different—I just had to share my thoughts on Is God Is by Aleshea Harris. This movie moved me in a way I wasn’t expecting, and I wanted to talk about how it made me feel. I shared why I think the film’s focus on matriarchy in the Black community and centering women’s voices is so powerful.

Just a heads-up: I’m going to spoil the movie, so if you haven’t seen it yet, listen with caution.

But seriously? 10 out of 10. This movie is a must-watch.

Episode Title: Too Fierce

In this episode, I get too fierce talking about my ADHD, how it shows up, why it’s missed in Black women, and how I manage it without meds. I share how I’m learning to find balance, change my perspective, and honor my rhythm through wellness.

ADHD by Kendrick Lamar

*Song recommendation:* "ADHD" by Kendrick Lamar. It’s raw, real, and reflective just like this conversation.

Herbs for the Journey

I also recommend herbs to help with focus, calm, and clarity:

- Lavender for relaxation and focus

- Nettle for energy and adrenal support

- Saffron for mood balance and cognitive clarity

- Gotu kola for brain health and memory

- Ashwagandha for stress support and balance

This episode is about truth, growth, and choosing yourself fiercely.

In this episode of Too Fierce, we break down what intuition really is and how to use it in everyday life. We explore how to tell the difference between your inner knowing and fear, why you might ignore your gut, and how trusting yourself can shift the way you make decisions and set boundaries. This episode is an invitation to slow down, tune in, and move with confidence instead of second-guessing.

Journal Prompt: When was the last time you ignored your intuition, and what did it try to tell you? How might things have changed if you had listened?
