In this episode of Winsome Black, we open up about the quiet grief that comes with releasing the life you once imagined — the milestones you thought you’d hit by a certain age, the version of yourself you planned to be by now, and the pressure to keep up with everyone else’s timeline.

From mourning old dreams to questioning where our expectations really come from, this conversation explores what it means to grow, change your mind, and redefine success in your mid-20s.

Hey beautiful people! This is the Winsome Black Podcast—a space for women navigating their 20s in real time: the beauty, the confusion, and the journey of becoming.

Through honest conversations about career, boundaries, relationships, self-worth, mental health, and identity, we create a safe place to ask questions and grow without rushing the answers. This isn’t about having it all figured out—it’s about learning as you go, giving yourself grace, and honoring your own timeline.

Here, we don’t compare paths, shame the process, or pretend growth is linear.

Being single has bought me so much happiness. Many people have a hard time being single, but you should know what singleness feels like at one moment in your life. Being single in your 20's gives you time to figure out who you are, travel more, etc.  I hope that everyone is staying safe.

I wanted to point something out in this podcast I mentioned how she/he would feel forced into motherhood/fatherhood. In some situations, people are forced into parenthood, but others are not. At that point, you have a responsibility to take care of that child even if you changed your mind about having a baby. Every relationship is different. Maybe an ultimatum works for your relationship; make sure you do not regret that decision. I hope everyone is staying safe during this pandemic. See you guys in my next podcast. :)

Life is too short not to live your life the way you want. During this pandemic, I have learned to continue to enjoy my life in any way possible. I made it a goal to get out of the house at least once a day, even if it is just for 10 minutes. Being in the house every day can take a toll on you, so try getting out of the house at least once a day.

Sexual Assault is something that happens all around the world. It is heartbreaking to see all the sexual assault stories. The victims are becoming younger and younger. I filmed this about a year ago. Right around the time, a lot of me-too stories were being told. To see all the victims tell their story was so powerful. I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy during this pandemic.

Leaving this relationship was one of the hardest things I have ever done. I have learned so much from that relationship and couldn't be more appreciative of that experience. It taught me self love and self-worth. You deserve happiness and healthy love, so DO NOT SETTLE FOR LESS.
