101. Matriarch by Tina Knowles Part 1

Feb 1st, 2026 3:42 PM

Happy February!We are kicking off this month with the first installment of my thoughts on the book Matriarch by Ms. Tina Knowles. I have really enjoyed this memoir so far. Ms. Tina shares so much, and does a great job with chronicling pivotal moments in her life while also sharing much of her childhood, adolescence and young adulthood, and how all phases played a role in who she was a wife, and is as a mother and whole person. I share my thoughts after my personal update (10:12) and hope you listen to the end. I've re-lauched my Youtube channel! Subscribe and support!

Jan 15th, 2026 12:00 PM

Happy New Year!I'm excited to fire up the microphone and reconnect with my listeners for the first episode of 2026. It is the 100th episode (!!!) and I can't believe the podcast has reached this point. I am immensely grateful to any and everyone who has listened and continues to do so. After sharing an update on my holiday, I talk about the decision to put in my notice and leave one of my positions as a Psych NP (13:37). I discuss my thought process with coming to this decision, and the urgency I feel in letting go what's holding me back and betting on myself this year.
