Episodes

  1. My participation in the birthing process gives me mixed feelings about motherhood.

    I tell a story from med school during my OBGYN rotation. It was life-changing.

  2. Euphoria feels like an exaggeration for those blessed to have not loved an addict.

    I tell my story of my experience with addiction in a friend. It's a story, but it's true. Trigger warning: substance abuse

  3. Victimhood and virtue

    Psychopaths have this way of playing victim to their own terrorism. Also, you are not a victim. You can do this. In this installment, we discuss therapy and unpacking while identifying toxic traits of psychopaths.

  5. Spinning Plates

    I was and am juggling multiple things like you probably are. Give yourself your flowers. You're doing an amazing job.

  6. Neuroplasticity: Fake it till you make it

    There is value in faking it. Your brain won't know the difference.

    Me now is incongruent with who I was. Change is off-putting sometimes.

    I try my best to explain3 the unmasking of different alter egos caused by my stroke. Get nerdy with me.

    I expound on the value of close relationships and my HBCU experience.

    It was the new year, 2022, and I was processing gratitude. Do you process yours?

    I hate to say it, but we need to be challenged to grow. I am very challenged! How will I grow? How will you grow through yours?

    A POV to ease your mind.

  13. Reinvention & Reconsideration: Don't call it Comeback. Road to a Come-Up

  14. Death's door

    That knock on your door from the grim reaper prompts you to analyze where you are mentally, physically and emotionally.

  15. An Ode to a daughter and a note to myself.

    This episode was inspired by an assignment from my therapist to write a letter to myself. I encourage you to do the same.

  16. Aunt Betty

    There's just something about being gassed up by a black auntie. I love us. Humanity has its moments of showing you that this life may just be worth it.

  17. Inner musings

    Here we are even more introspective about putting yourself first and choosing self-preservation versus self-destruction.

  18. Virgil and Chadwick: I can relate

    Two humans snatched from the earth while young. Anything can happen to anyone.

  20. Restart

    My thoughts on being a patient...

  21. Build Back Better

    It's about how you frame situations in your mind. Is this an opportunity I would have never gotten had I not gone through this tough time?

    The weight of my situation continues to grow heavier as I contemplate: Is this all worth it?

    It's more of a petite mort, if you will but has nothing to do with the deed. This is the beginning of my little death of my old self while still in the hospital.

    This is the devastating realization that my life has been derailed. I had survived again and I was left with the assignment to continue my life.
