Flow Feminine Wellness: A Space for Black Women & Wellness: Maternity, Menstrual Cycles, and Menopause
Episode #28: I'm More than a MOM- I'm a WOMAN.
For a long time, I thought being a good mom meant giving all of me away — my time, my energy, my joy, my identity. I traded “me” for “mama” and wore the exhaustion like a badge of honor. But somewhere in the chaos, I realized that I wasn’t fully living — I was surviving. In this episode, I open up about how I lost myself in motherhood, especially as a Black woman raised to carry it all, do it all, and still smile through it. I talk about the moment I remembered that before I was anyone’s mama, I was me — a woman with dreams, desires, and a spirit that deserves pleasure, peace, and play. This is for every Black mom who’s ever felt guilty for wanting more than motherhood — for wanting herself back. You don’t have to choose. You can nurture your children and still nourish your soul. You’re a woman first, and that truth is powerful. ✨ Listen now to reclaim your joy, your softness, and your womanhood. 🎧 Grab your tea, your peace, and come flow with me.

Episode 27: Freeing Myself, Foreal This Time: I Filed For Divorce & Finally Free’d Myself
You ever look back at a version of yourself and realize she was holding her breath every single day just to make it look like she was “good”? Yeah… that was me. I filed for divorce. And not because I failed — but because I finally decided to live. For so long I was performing happy. Smiling on the outside while drowning on the inside… convincing myself that being “strong” meant staying silent, staying put, staying small. Whew. The way peace hits different when you stop forcing a life that’s suffocating you. In this episode, I’m opening up about choosing myself. About letting go of perfection, freeing myself from a life that wasn’t aligned, and stepping into the most authentic, rested, joyful version of me. And I’m sharing it not for gossip, not for attention — but because I know another woman is listening right now feeling trapped in a story she never actually chose. If you need a sign that it’s okay to prioritize your peace… baby, this is it. You can rebuild. You can rewrite the narrative. You can choose you — without shame, without performing strength, and without explaining yourself to anyone. Let’s talk about what liberation really feels like on the other side. And if you’re on your own healing journey — whether you’re a mama, in a transition, or learning how to stand in your truth again — I got you. My book Flow Feminine Wellness is filled with guidance, recipes, herbs, and rituals to nourish you from the inside out. You can also shop my teas, creams, and supplements, or work with me as your digital doula if you’re reclaiming your womanhood and your life. Because we don’t just survive seasons like this — we rise softer, stronger, and more aligned than ever.

Episode 26: Processing Trauma From My Past Abortions So I Can Be Free
In today’s episode, I’m opening my heart in a way I never have before. For years, I carried the silent weight of my three abortions — tucking the pain behind motherhood, routines, and a strong-on-the-outside face. I thought if I ignored it, if I stayed busy enough, I could outrun the memories, the grief, the guilt. But our bodies… our wombs… they remember everything we don’t want to say out loud. One day I finally sat down with my womb, with my ancestors, with God…and I told the truth. I let myself feel it. I cried. I forgave myself. And y’all — that forgiveness cracked something wide open. Through womb meditations, breathwork, grounding prayers, and gentle yoni steaming, I started releasing layers of shame and grief I didn’t even realize I was still carrying. What I found underneath wasn’t pain… it was peace, softness, and a deep joy I didn’t know was possible. This episode is for every Black woman who has ever held secret pain in her womb space — abortions, miscarriages, birth trauma, fibroids, loss, shame, silence. We deserve healing. We deserve compassion. We deserve to feel whole again… without judgment, without stigma, without apology. Come sit with me. Breathe with me. And let’s remember: forgiveness is freedom. If today’s conversation touched your spirit, honor that. And if you’re ready to deepen your healing journey, my book Flow Feminine Wellness and my teas and rituals for womb harmony are here for you. Visit my site to explore, read, breathe, and remember your power.

Episode 25: This Body Raised a Baby- Now I'm Raising Me
Sis… let me tell you how I was minding my business in Walmart, grabbing diapers and almond milk like every tired mama does — and then I saw this lil’ lingerie set on sale. Cute. Lacy. Real “I still got it” energy. 👀 Something in my spirit said, “Girl, put it in the cart.” And when I got home and tried it on? Babyyyy… I surprised myself. I looked in the mirror and instead of criticizing, sucking in, or wishing for my pre-baby waist — I smiled. I felt cute. I felt soft. I felt like a woman again, not just somebody’s mama running around in leggings and top knots. This episode is for every Black mama who has been rebuilding herself piece by piece — body, confidence, energy, identity. For the ones doing squats during nap time, drinking their chlorophyll and seamoss, relearning softness, loving bellies that stretched to carry life, and thighs that spread to birth legacy. We’re not “bouncing back.” We’re becoming again — slower, wiser, softer, thicker in all the blessed ways. And if a $12 Walmart lingerie set is the moment that reminds you you’re still that girl? Then so be it. ✨ Tap in — let’s talk body love, postpartum glow-ups, and finding yourself again in motherhood. Because we deserve to feel cute, sexy, sacred, and seen — even in the Walmart dressing aisle of life.

Episode 24: Girl You Got It, Act Like You Know It
Sometimes, we all need that one song that reminds us who we are. For me lately, it’s “Girl You Got It” by King George — and whew, it’s been my anthem. In this episode, I’m talking about how I’ve been using that song to fuel myself as a mom, a woman, and a divine feminine being who’s remembering her own power. Because I do have it. And so do you. That inner strength, that feminine energy, that sacred power that helps us push through when life gets heavy — that’s the “it.” So let’s talk about how to tap back into it, honor it, and let it carry us forward when we forget who we are. ✨ Tune in for a dose of motivation, divine feminine energy, and mama realness. 💫 Don’t forget to grab my book Flow Feminine Wellness and explore my teas, creams, and digital doula services at flowfemininewellness.com

Whether you’re a new mom, a soon-to-be mama, or deep in your own weaning season, this episode is a reminder that your body was made for this and your intuition knows the way. ✨ Tune in, take a breath, and let’s flow together. 🩷 Grab my book Flow Feminine Wellness for holistic guidance through every phase of womanhood — from pregnancy to postpartum and beyond.

Episode # 22: Purpose: The Work That Heals You Back
Sometimes, the very thing that feels the hardest is the thing that’s healing you. In this episode, I’m talking about how purpose — not money, not titles, not validation — is what truly fuels your joy. When you’re walking in what you’re called to do, it’s not always pretty. It gets messy, chaotic, and uncomfortable at times. But that’s where the magic is. That’s where the refining happens. We’ll dive into what it means to keep showing up for your purpose, even when life feels heavy, even when the path doesn’t make sense. Because joy isn’t found in ease — it’s found in alignment. This is your reminder that the work you’re doing is sacred. It’s shaping you, healing you, and teaching you to trust that every season, even the chaotic ones, are leading you deeper into who you’re meant to be. ✨ Listen now and let this be your encouragement to keep going — your purpose still has medicine in it for you. Grab my book Flow Feminine Wellness for recipes, herbs, and divine feminine practices to nourish your mind, body, and womb. ✨ Book a consultation with me for one-on-one guidance and support on your healing journey. Because mama, you don’t have to do this alone. 💜

Episode #21: The Day I Let Mom Guilt Go
oday’s episode is all about mom guilt and giving yourself grace. Ralphie ran out of pull-ups, I panicked, and one diaper meltdown later, Spirit reminded me that motherhood isn’t about perfection — it’s about presence. I share how I learned to stop comparing, silence the opinions, and release the guilt around where my child “should” be. Because potty training, milestones, all of it — it’s not a race. It’s a rhythm. If you’ve been hard on yourself lately, this episode is your reminder: you’re a good mom. Period. ✨ Listen now and let the guilt go. 💖 Grab my book Flow Feminine Wellness, shop my teas + creams, or book me as your Digital Doula at FlowFeminineWellness.com. As always, my loves — health, healing, and happiness.

Episode 20: Bag Lady: The Baggage I Was Carrying in My Womb
In this episode of Flow Feminine Wellness, I’m getting real about the emotional and spiritual weight I was carrying in my womb — the guilt, fear, resentment, and people-pleasing that had quietly taken root inside of me until my body started to speak. It started as a faint ache I couldn’t quite explain. I thought maybe it was something I ate or a new ingredient in my usual groceries, but deep down I knew it was something more. When I finally got still enough to listen, Spirit showed me the truth: my womb felt heavy because I was carrying people, places, and things that didn’t belong to me. In this episode, I share how I realized that my womb pain wasn’t just physical — it was emotional and spiritual. I talk about how we, as women, trap unspoken feelings in our wombs. Guilt, fear, resentment, heartbreak — all those emotions that go unhealed can turn into womb imbalance. The same way food can cause fibroids and painful cycles, so can our unprocessed emotions. The difference is, the spiritual and emotional are even more powerful — they just don’t want us to know that. I’ll also share how I released that energy through stillness, joy, and a good old-fashioned “womb detox” — and how I started living my life freely again. Because once I stopped people-pleasing and started honoring myself, my spirit — and my body — began to heal. So if you’ve been feeling heavy, disconnected, or like your womb has been trying to tell you something… this episode is for you. Let’s heal, release, and get back to our joy together. ✨ Listen now and let it go. 💖 Grab your copy of Flow Feminine Wellness and explore my teas and creams created to support your womb and your divine feminine healing at FlowFeminineWellness.com.

Episode 19: Postpartum Depression- From Mommy Mode to Me Again
Postpartum depression isn’t something we talk about enough, and for a long time I kept my own struggle bottled up. In this episode of Flow Feminine Wellness Podcast, I’m opening up about what it really felt like to be stuck in “mommy mode” after having Ralphie — tired, overwhelmed, insecure, and wondering if this was all my life would be. I’ll share how I leaned on meditation, my altar, and ancestral guidance to start reclaiming myself. From working out, cooking with love, creating content, and setting boundaries, to simply fighting for my peace every single day — this is my story of breaking through. If you’re a mama feeling lost in the routine or weighed down by postpartum depression, I want you to know: you can fight for yourself too. You deserve joy, purpose, and a life that feels like you. ✨ Grab my book Flow Feminine Wellness for recipes, herbs, and divine feminine practices to nourish your mind, body, and womb. ✨ Book a consultation with me for one-on-one guidance and support on your healing journey.

The other day, I was talking with a client who told me her periods were so heavy she had to plan her whole life around them. She thought it was just “normal” for Black women to bleed like that. But let me tell you—what’s common isn’t always natural, and in this episode I’m breaking it all the way down. We’re talking about why cycles get so heavy, how food and hormones are often the hidden culprits, and the natural ways to bring your womb back into balance. If you’ve ever felt like your period was running your life, this conversation will give you hope, healing, and real solutions. ✨ Don’t just listen—live the healing.
