Truth Be Told

In this episode, I’m getting all the way real about a night that didn’t quite go how I hoped. He finished... I didn’t. And while I love my man, I was left feeling disappointed, disconnected, and honestly—unseen. I open up about what it feels like to be emotionally and physically unfulfilled, how easy it is to stay silent, and why speaking up changed everything. This one’s for the girls who’ve ever had to fake a smile—or an orgasm. Because sis... we’re not doing that anymore.

This weekend, I put my phone down and picked my life up. In this episode, I’m talking to my best friend Frida about what happened when my boyfriend and I unplugged from the outside world and plugged into each other—and into the moment. With my two kids around and no screens in sight, we created space for real laughter, deep rest, good food, intentional love, and clarity.

In this raw and revealing episode of Truth Be Told, I’m opening up about the work drama that pushed me to my breaking point.

This isn’t just a story about leaving a toxic workplace. It’s about reclaiming your peace, honoring your mental health, and knowing when to say enough.
