Millennial girlies, pull up a chair — and no, for once, not at your therapist's.

This Friday is the fifth anniversary of my father's death. This Sunday, I'll be at carnival road march in Jamaica — sequins, soca, full colour, all of it. And I'm not pretending those two things don't exist in the same week, in the same chest. Because they do. And nobody told me they would.

So today, we tell each other.

In this episode, I'm talking about the oak tree you didn't know was protecting you until it was gone — and what it means to learn to stand in the open sun.

In this episode:

• Why my body knows April is coming before my mind does
• The oak tree metaphor that found me when I needed it most
• What the first year of grief actually feels like
• Why grief doesn't heal — it becomes part of your system
• Holding carnival joy and a father's anniversary in the same chest, in the same week
• The question to sit with: Who is your oak tree?

Grab your drink or your iced coffee, my friend. It's go time.

Millennial girlies, let me ask you something — when's the last time you actually tasted your lunch?

Episode 2 is here, and we're slowing down long enough to notice the things we've been too busy to question. It's about running on autopilot — and what happens when you finally step off it. Picture it: a Wednesday, a car, and a lunch nobody actually wanted.

We Weren't Told revisits the expectations millennial mothers inherited about success, ambition, money, marriage, motherhood, and sexuality. Each episode helps listeners navigate the rules they've been living by — and decide, with greater clarity, which ones still belong in their lives.

Grab your drink or your iced coffee my friends. It's go time.

In this episode:

• The pandemic truth that reared its ugly head
• Crying in a bathroom stall on a five-minute timer (yes, really)
• The four words I didn't know I needed to hear
• Tri-colored quinoa, baked chicken breast, and the question that changed everything
• What an identity collision actually feels like when you've checked every single box
• The self underneath all your roles — and whether you even know she's still there
