Who's Your Mama

What if Moms are not failing when it comes to fitness? What if the industry has just completely failed to account for motherhood? In this episode I am talking about the reality of trying to prioritize movement and health when you are also managing kids, work, schedules, drop off and pick up, mental load and marriage.

We dive in and talk about why "everyone has the same 24 hours" is absolutely not true for parents, why support matters as well as access and why comparing your routine to someone else isn't helping at all.

Moms are not failing. They are not lazy. They are not behind. Today we get to the bottom of it.

Ever felt like your body changed overnight after 40?You are not imagining it! In this episode, Dalijah breaks down what actually happens as women age, including hormones, muscle loss, bone density, metabolism, sleep, stress, and why strength training may be the missing piece. It is not just about chasing a smaller body. It's about building a stronger, healthier one for the decades ahead.

After months away, I’m back with a deeply personal solo episode.

For over ten years, I built businesses, hosted retreats around the world, and thrived on being needed. When those chapters ended, I struggled with silence, burnout, and the fear of losing my identity.

In this episode, I share how closing Black Girls Pole nearly broke me, why I rushed into creating again before I was ready, and how postpartum burnout forced me to finally sit down and listen to my body.

I talk openly about outgrowing success, learning to rest without guilt, and why your worth doesn’t disappear when you pause. If you’re navigating change, burnout, or a season of “what now?” you are not alone my friend!

This episode is a reminder that resting is not quitting.

Did you know your brain actually washes itself while you sleep? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Angela Holliday-Bell, a board-certified physician and sleep specialist, to break down the science of rest. We cover the difference between REM and NREM sleep, why snoring is a red flag, and what new moms can do to survive the postpartum sleep struggle. If you’ve been running on fumes or need to create a new healthy bedtime routine, this episode will change the way you think about rest.

In this episode of the Who's Your Mama podcast, I dive into a critical discussion on infertility with Dr. Amanda Adeleye, a double board-certified reproductive endocrinologist and infertility specialist. Dr. Adeleye shares her extensive knowledge on reproductive health, including the complexities of menstrual cycles, the impact of environmental factors on fertility, and the hormonal changes women experience from puberty to perimenopause. Not only do we talk about the the importance of consulting a gynecologist or reproductive endocrinologist if you are thinking of starting a family, we also chat about the often-overlooked contribution of male factors in fertility issues. This episode is packed with valuable insights for anyone interested in understanding reproductive health and fertility preservation.
