Sit With Your Sis
by Bianca Newman
Sit With Your Sis is the podcast you turn to when you wish you had a big sister around to talk about the hard things. As the eldest of seven, I can't say I was the best sister growing up, but I am showing up now to offer the guidance I wish I could have given my younger siblings. As a first generation Mexican American, being the eldest always carried a little bit more weight than I think I realized. Mistakes were not tolerated, but boy were they made. Every episode I will be sharing real life stories to hopefully provide guidance and advice on what NOT to do in this great adventure we call life. Whether you're a young adult or young at heart, I invite you to take a few minutes and sit with your sis.

Episode 4: Ten Years of Co‑Parenting, Heartache & Healing
It's your Big Sis B, and in this emotional episode, I open up about my journey from a secret abortion at 19 to becoming a single mom twice, the challenges of depression during pregnancy, and ten years of co‑parenting my oldest son. I share painful memories, lessons learned, and how I chose compassion over conflict for the sake of my children. I offer honest advice to anyone facing similar decisions, stressing the importance of communication, and support while healing and growing as a parent. Parenting while healing your own inner child wounds is not for the faint of heart. I see you!

Episode 3: Heard You're Waiting For The Right Time
It's your Big Sis, B! I am back after being sick last week. Today I talk about how to tackle the common trap of waiting for the “perfect” moment to start a goal. I break down fear, perfectionism, and social media comparison, using fitness, parenting, and time constraints as real-life examples. I offer practical, simple advice: start small (even 5–15 minutes), schedule consistent time, keep promises to yourself, and grow discipline over motivation. The encouragement you need to stop waiting and begin now, is here!

Episode 2: Heard You Lost Your Motivation
I am your Big Sis B, and in episode two of Sit With Your Sis, I normalize losing motivation after the initial excitement of a new idea or goal. It's OK, just because you lose motivation doesn't mean you stopped caring! Don't believe your brain, I explain why anxiety and repetitive thoughts can derail progress. I shared two actionable steps to regain momentum: audit the information you consume (social media, podcasts, music) and evaluate who you share your time with, since your circle shapes your habits and mindset. With compassion, practical advice, and a little 'Throne of Glass' motivation, I encourage finding supportive communities and mentors, giving yourself grace, and creating an environment that helps you finish what you started... Because isn't that what we want? To finish what we started?!

Sit With Your Sis — Episode One: Take the Leap
Hi, I’m your Big Sis B — this is my first episode where I introduce myself as the eldest of seven, share some family background and why I started this podcast—to offer advice, bridge sibling distance, and be the sister I wished I had. I talk about feeling nervous, because who doesn't feel that way when they're putting themselves out there. I let you in on the people responsible for this podcast being born and I share my favorite quote. If you didn't know about Coach Carter, you will now. This episode is a gentle call to action: take small steps toward what’s on your heart, because your choices affect others, and by starting you give others permission to do the same.
