"B, where have you been, girl?" - Taking care of my mental and emotional health.
Sis, Get Your Ish TogetherShow Notes
While I'm known for my vulnerability, this is episode is an extra vulnerable one. I've been MIA for a couple of weeks and there's a good read reason for that. There are a lot of moving parts to this episode, therefore, a lot of things you can take away from it to reflect on - not only about taking care of your own mental and emotional health, but being mindful of the mental and emotional health of others.

The only way to meet the new versions of ourselves is to let ourselves outgrow the old ones - always remember that.
Retiring the “Just Don’t Date Men” Advice (Because... Come On) You can quit dating men if you want to, girl, but let’s not act like that’s the only option. The truth is, a lot of women were never taught how to date — we just picked it up through heartbreak, trial and error, and TikToks that contradict each other. But if you’re already out here, talking stages and all… it’s probably in your best interest to actually learn how to date — you know, with standards, with self-respect, and with your eyes wide open.
I don't know who needs to hear this today... but I know someone out there does. So, here ya go ;)
Today’s episode is a vulnerable one for me—like, deep sigh before hitting record kind of vulnerable. But I know it’s a conversation so many of you need to hear, so I’m taking one for the team (lol, but also… not really). We’re talking about healthy relationships—not just the soft and sweet parts, but the hard parts too. The moments where you feel exposed. Triggered. Like your old wounds just pulled up a chair and made themselves at home. I’m sharing a recent experience with Dwayne where I had to sit with feedback that touched a nerve… and how we worked through it, together. It’s a long one, because this kind of growth has layers, and honestly, some of them I’m still peeling back in real time. So, if you’ve ever asked yourself, “Why does being loved well bring up all my old shit?”—this one’s for you.
There’s a whole internet full of tools, resources, and opportunities to turn what you already do for free—advice, gossiping, storytelling, planning—into a business. But when your focus is always on chasing men, well... how could you ever tap into that? This episode is your reminder: Leave these men ALONE and focus on yourself the REAL way.
