008 - The Babygurl Interview, Part 1: Legacy & Liberation

Babygurl, today’s episode is something special — not just because for the first time I hand the mic to my niece, Lianna, but because this kicks off a birthday-month celebration: a two-episode drop in one week.In Part One, Lianna — the original Babygurl in our family, and the reason this podcast carries its name — shares her truths with tenderness, laughter, and wisdom.She takes me back to memories of grandma’s house, the itchy baptism dress, and even Angry Birds on my old phone.She names the unspoken rules we’ve inherited in our family and the ways we’ve started breaking them. She reflects on repair, on what women of color deserve in relationships, and on how our bond has modeled compassion, honesty, andlove.At one point, she describes me as a tree with roots deep enough to survive a hurricane and still bear fruit and shade. 🌳 That one nearly undid me.And of course, there’s laughter — about Yakult drinks, loquats, who’s more dramatic, and her disco playlist called I'd Fucking Boogie as fuck.This is Part One of The Babygurl Interview: Legacy & Liberation.Part Two is next — when Lianna flips the script and interviews me, no questions in advance, just unfiltered truth.A birthday-month special about identity, legacy, liberation, and the sacred joy of being witnessed across generations.🎧 Subscribe and share with anyone who needs this.💬 Connect with me on IG @_colibricoaching and let me know what lands for you.
