This episode is a candid, impromptu freestyle reflection on Black motherhood in the here and now. I share what happened over the last month—taking a 30-day pause, therapy, renewing my commitment to the gym, and the boundary-setting that followed. I talk about stepping back to save myself and, in turn, better show up for my kids, without burning out or answering every call the moment it rings. It’s a real conversation about stress, self-care, and the power of flexible boundaries—finding balance without rigidity. If you’ve ever felt pulled in a million directions, this episode is for you.
