Episodes

  1. Kimora Lee. (no Simmons)

    Kimora Lee has been telling pieces of this story for years! That’s part of what made me want to go back. Because if you read the old interviews, a lot of the events aren’t new. The warnings from other women, the age difference, the other girlfriends, leaving, and going back. The businesses...

  2. Why Did I Get Married Again? And What Survival Teaches Us to Expect

    Spoiler warning: This episode discusses major plot points from Why Did I Get Married Again? Everybody was talking about the cheating, the marriages, the mess, the kids becoming their parents. I kept getting stuck on something else. In Why Did I Get Married Again?, the older couples finally tell…

  3. Raven Baxter didn’t become relatable by becoming less Black.

    Raven-Symoné asked what made Raven Baxter Black, and the internet said, “Excuse the fuck out of us.” Fair reaction. But hold on. In a resurfaced conversation with Kalen Allen, Raven questioned what made the Baxter family recognizably Black beyond their skin color. If everybody were green, what...

  4. Still waiting to exhale more than thirty years later.

    Some women are still “waiting to exhale” more than thirty years later. In this episode of The Disruptor & Translator Podcast, Develda Edgington revisits Waiting to Exhale — not as nostalgia, but as emotional documentation and how what she built is what's next. The EXHALE. Not just a story about...

  5. You’re Performing Okay While Collapsing

    WHAT THIS EPISODE IS ABOUT: The word burnout gets used as a catchall — but for a lot of women, what they’re living isn’t depletion. It’s a pattern. A pattern of performing okay so consistently that the performance becomes indistinguishable from their actual state. This episode names that pattern...

  6. The Stabilizer Podcast Trailer: This Is What I Built From a Parking Lot in Japan

    This is my beginning. Before the identity shift. Before the frameworks. Before any of it — there was a parking lot in Okinawa, Japan, on a Tuesday, with a box of snacks on the passenger seat and a question I could not answer. Who are you? Every answer that came up was a title. Wife. Mother....

  7. I Was a Licensed Therapist. I Still Didn’t Know Who I Was.

    I had a graduate degree. I was a licensed therapist with a career built around helping trauma survivors rebuild their lives. Then one random Tuesday — in a parking lot in Okinawa, Japan — I realized I did not know who the hell I was. It didn’t happen dramatically. No breakdown. No rock bottom...

  8. S1E05 - You’re Not Confused. You Just Don’t Like the Cost of Clarity.

    You keep calling it overthinking. But what’s actually happening is this:you’re reopening a decision you already made… because you don’t like what it requires. This episode breaks down the pattern most high-functioning women get stuck in without realizing it. Not confusion.Not indecision.A...

  9. I Need Structure… And I Reject It

    You built the system.You believed in it.…and then you ignored it. Not because it didn’t work—but because it felt like control. This is what AuDHD actually looks like:needing structure and resisting it at the same time. This episode breaks down the contradiction—and what to do instead. This is a...

  10. Why Your Body Doesn’t Trust Love Yet

    This is not about your choices. It’s not about your patterns, your picker, or your history of getting it wrong. It’s about something quieter than all of that. Your body learned love before you had language for it. It learned through tone. Through consistency. Through whether closeness felt like...

  11. Becoming: The Journey to who you already are

    My true crew friends, here’s the truth: You are already everything you’re becoming. Just like an oak tree holds its full potential in every stage—from acorn to towering tree—you hold yours. There’s no ‘fixing’ or ‘perfecting’ needed. In every season of growth, you’re already complete, and every...
