She Found Out She Was an Actual African Princess — Here's What Happened Next
What if discovering who you are… changes everything you thought you knew?In this breathtaking and soul-stirring conversation, I sit down with the extraordinary Princess Sarah Culberson — adoptee, activist, and actual Sierra Leone royalty — to explore what it means to discover who you really are, and what you do with that truth once you find it.Sarah grew up in West Virginia, navigating identity, race, and belonging as a Black adoptee in a white family. Then a DNA test led her to the one thing she never expected: a father, a royal title, and a war-torn country that was waiting for her. This isn't a fairy tale. It's a story of radical courage, deep self-reckoning, and what it looks like to carry a crown you never asked for — and show up for it anyway.What you'll get out of this episode…What it actually felt like to discover she was Sierra Leone royaltyGrowing up Black and adopted — and the long search for belongingThe moment she chose responsibility over retreatHow identity shapes the way we love, lead, and liveWhat it means to bridge two worlds without losing yourselfHer royal ritual for resilience (you'll want to write this one down)Connect with Princess SarahIG / @iamprincessscSierra Leone Rising / This Episode is Sponsored by Chai TonicsPrincess Sarah's story is a reminder that the most powerful rituals are the ones that ground us.

396: Everyone Says “Cut Them Off” — Here’s What No One Tells You About Family Healing
We’re living in a time where “protect your peace” has become a mantra, and cutting off family is often labeled as healing. But what if that story is incomplete?In this deeply honest solocast, I explore the rise of family estrangement, the viral “no contact” culture, and the uncomfortable questions we’re not asking about loneliness, healing, and emotional resilience.I share my own lived experience with estrangement — including a period of no contact — and what I learned on the other side. This is not about shaming boundaries or glorifying toxic relationships. It’s about nuance, courage, and truth.Because healing isn’t always about walking away. Sometimes, it’s about learning how to stay differently.What you'll get out of this episode… Why not all estrangement is healing — context mattersBoundaries don’t have to mean disappearanceAvoidance and peace are not the same thingWhy healing often requires emotional stamina, not escapeHow relationships can be both triggering and transformativeWatch Oprah’s episode on family estrangement: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cK7EJgILMIk This Episode is Sponsored by Chai TonicsGive the gift of ritual this holiday season with Chai Tonic Holiday Kits — nourishing Ayurvedic superfood chai blends made to bring calm, clarity, and slow-living energy into the new year.

378: I Removed My Breast Implants After 10 Years—Here’s Why (And What Happened Next)
Hey loves, this one’s raw. It’s tender. And honestly, it’s been a long time coming.In this solo episode, I’m finally opening up about something I’ve been quietly navigating behind the scenes for years — my explant journey. Yep. Earlier this year, I made the incredibly personal (and powerful) decision to remove my breast implants after over a decade of living in a body that no longer felt like mine.What started as a few random symptoms — fatigue, eczema, rashes, brain fog — turned into a full-on quest to understand what was really going on in my body. From mold toxicity to thyroid issues and being dismissed by doctors over and over… it wasn’t until I started listening to my own body’s whispers that I realized — something deeper needed healing.If you’ve ever struggled with trusting your intuition, healing from something invisible, or feeling like your truth doesn’t fit into the medical mold — this is for you.What you'll get out of this episode… Why I got implants in the first place (and what they meant to me back then)The slow unraveling of my health, the gaslighting, and the “everything looks normal” resultsWhat years of research, expert interviews, and joining online BII communities with 190,000+ women taught meWhat finally gave me the courage to book the explant surgery — and what I wish I knew soonerThe deep spiritual rebirth and reclaiming of my body that followedHow to choose the right explant surgeon and what every woman should know before surgeryCheck out these Facebook Groups to learn more about Breast Implant Illness and join the community:https://www.facebook.com/groups/Healingbreastimplantillnesshttps://www.facebook.com/groups/biiresearchandrecoveryThis Episode Is Sponsored by Health NagFeeling bloated, sluggish, or just off?
