This solo episode is all about relationships & the expiration dates that come with them.
Many times, we associate the end of a relationship with someone romantic...while that may be true, there are also times when you need to cut ties with those friendships & family members who you thought would be in your life forever.
IT'S IMPORTANT TO SET BOUNDARIES, Y'ALL!
Listen to this episode as I share my own experiences with cutting off relationships that were no longer serving me. The healing journey can get lonely at times, especially when you're leveling up & growing, but it's important to remember this: the people you meet in life are either reflections of a repeated cycle, or the opportunity to a new start. It's up to you to notice the difference.

• What life looked like for her growing up
• Dealing with postpartum depression
• The struggles of motherhood & how to navigate through them
• The definition of self-love
• Why we need to focus on deep healing & mirror work
• Detaching from titles put on us, especially as moms

This episode was packed full of gems for so many women & especially for my momma's. So many times, we attach ourselves to being the mom, the partner, the sibling, the co-worker...everything else in the world, and we tend to forget about ourselves and who we are at our core, in the process.
Let this episode remind you that you are worth SO much more than the titles we attach ourselves to. It's important to remember who TF you are and own that!

Listen this week as he shares his story on how he was originally diagnosed during a manic episode shortly after graduating college in early 2015 and the wild events that ensued thereafter.
