Happy New Year!

A lot has happened since the last episode, and I'm very excited to record again and hit the ground running for 2025.

I begin the episode by sharing some highlights of my trip to Portugal, then continue by discussing my decision to delete my personal Instagram (14:55), and end with sharing 2025 resolutions (32:34). I hope you listen to the end.

Hey everyone!

Welcome to the final episode of the year! I'm really happy to get to this point and thank you all who have listened to this podcast, or found me this year and stuck around! I appreciate it more than you know. We will resume new episodes January 15th, 2025.

At the top of the episode, I talk about making a list of your accomplishments. This can help put things in perspective when you feel like you got nothing done during the year, which was something I was contending with myself (8:38). Secondly, we discuss Chapter 8 in All About Love, where community is a focus, and how our relationship to it informs the importance we place on relationships vs. friendships (27:21). I hope you listen to the end.

Happy December!

With just a few more weeks in 2024, I wanted to share an essay I wrote for a competition that was not selected, but I love regardless, and felt many Black women could relate to (7:14). Before starting the essay, I talk a bit about how "rejection" can sting at first, but so often it is meant to push is in a new direction and open us up to opportunities we may not have even considered. I hope you listen to the end.
