Some wounds don’t fade with time, they grow up with us.
In this episode, Pam explores how our childhood experiences quietly shape the way we love, work, and protect ourselves as adults. From people-pleasing and perfectionism to avoiding conflict and chasing approval, she unpacks how old pain shows up in new ways, and how awareness can become the first step toward healing.
A grounded, heartfelt conversation on self-awareness, boundaries, and what it means to finally feel safe in your own story.

Sometimes the greatest act of courage isn’t pushing harder but pressing reset. In this episode of Notes on Being Human, Pam opens up about her journey of starting over, the lessons she learned when things shifted, and why starting over isn’t a setback; it’s a fresh page. Whether you’re recalibrating your career, pivoting your passion, or simply wondering if it’s ever too late to begin again... this one is for you.
Sometimes growing means letting go... not in anger, not in bitterness, but in understanding. In this episode, Pam reflects on what it really means to release people with grace; family, friends, or past loves, and why peace doesn’t always mean reconciliation.
Through honest reflection and relatable stories, she explores how to walk away without resentment, how to love people from a distance, and how to find calm in closure that never came.
Because sometimes, “no beef, no love lost” isn’t about indifference... it’s about maturity.
In a world that celebrates the grind, rest can feel like rebellion. We’re taught to see it as something we earn... a reward after the work is done, instead of something sacred and necessary. But rest was never meant to be optional. Even God rested.
In this episode, we slow down and explore what it means to honor rest as part of our design, not a sign of weakness, but of wisdom. Through quiet stories and gentle reflection, we look at why so many of us resist stillness, how our bodies keep the score when we don’t listen, and why pausing isn’t failure; it’s faith.
A reminder for anyone who’s been running on empty: you can’t pour from what you refuse to refill. Rest is not a retreat from life. It’s how we return to it.
We grew up believing that if we did everything “right,” like going to school, working hard, and following the steps, life would fall into place. But as millennials, many of us have realized the finish line keeps moving. From student loans and career shifts to questions about marriage, kids, and “success,” the expectations can feel overwhelming.
In this first episode of Notes on Being Human, Pam reflects on the gap between what we were promised and what life has actually delivered, and why it is time to start redefining success on our own terms.
