Song of the Day: Man I Need by Olivia DeanIn the first Say More Words episode of 2026, Tamika Taylor dives into the pressure and toxicity of “New Year, New Me” culture, reminding us that real change starts with creating emotional safety, not just discipline. With humor, truth, and a few cows as metaphors, she invites us to slow down, break big goals into bite-sized steps, and choose growth that honors our actual lives.
