Seasoned

Sometimes the thing you've been hoping for finally appears... and your first reaction is: No. Not like that. In this episode of SEASONED , I'm talking about an opportunity that has recently presented itself in my life. And that's all you're getting for now. 😂 I'm not telling you whether it's a person, a job, a new direction, or something else entirely. Until dotted l...

What if dating didn't begin with “Could this be my husband?” What if it simply began with “Do I actually like this person?” In this episode of SEASONED , I'm talking about the way I'm approaching dating now, and it looks very different from the way I've done it before. I'm starting from scratch. I'm meeting people. Getting to know them. Paying attention. Building frie...

This was supposed to be a straightforward journey home from Nairobi. It was anything but. A Kenya airport workers' strike. A missed connection. A rerouting through Abidjan. Another missed flight. An unexpected overnight stay. Airport chaos. Stress. Exhaustion. And more than a few moments when I wondered, how exactly am I getting home? 😂 In this episode of SEASONED, I take you along for the j...

This is my final recording from Nairobi, and honestly, I didn't quite know what I was going to talk about when I pressed record. But sometimes the best conversations are the ones you don't plan. In this episode of SEASONED , I reflect on my time in Nairobi, what living and working here has taught me, and the unexpected ways this secondment has changed how I see myself. I also go on a lit...

What if the thing you thought wasn't happening was actually just taking a completely different route? For years, I wanted to move to Africa. It started with South Africa. I first visited in 2012, returned again in 2021, and each time, that little voice in the back of my mind kept saying, I could live here. I tried to make it happen. I applied for jobs in South Africa. Nothing. No interviews....

Chapter 44 wasn't supposed to look like this. I didn't have a big birthday plan. I thought I'd celebrate quietly in Ghana with family. Then Nairobi happened, and suddenly I found myself celebrating another year of life in a new country, surrounded by people I had only recently met. And somehow, it turned out to be exactly what I needed. In this episode, I reflect on the unexpected b...

Two years ago I thought my life was over. My marriage had ended. I couldn't see a way forward. I had no idea that God was quietly writing a completely different chapter. Fast forward to today... I'm recording this episode from Nairobi, Kenya. In this episode, I share why Season 2 was delayed, how an unexpected career opportunity brought me here, and why sometimes the biggest blessings ar...

If I waited for the 'perfect time,' we would still be sitting in silence. We have officially made it to the season finale of SEASONED ! In Episode 10, I am taking off the producer hat for a moment to sit down, pour a glass, and have a heart-to-heart with the incredible community that has held me down through this entire journey. To wrap up Season 1, I’m pulling back the curtain on the be...

Let's be completely real: dating in this era feels like navigating a literal war zone under extreme conditions. Between the exhaustion of endless modern dating trends and the reality that men—regardless of their age—just seem completely clueless, it’s enough to make any woman want to throw in the towel. In Episode 9 of SEASONED , we are pulling back the curtain on dating after divorce. I’m br...

In this episode, I reflect on something many women quietly struggle with — the feeling of being behind in life. From Mother’s Day reflections, to career insecurities, to listening to high-achieving women speak about identity and success, I found myself questioning where I am in my own journey. But somewhere in the middle of all those thoughts, I realized something important:  maybe success is not...

We’re told that divorce is an end, but what if it’s actually the ultimate beginning? In Episode 7, I’m getting real about the "After"—that space between who you were in your marriage and the woman you are becoming now. I’m sharing the raw truth about navigating life solo, rediscovering the parts of myself I set aside for years, and why "divorced" is just a status, not an identi...

There are things I experienced in my marriage that I didn’t fully understand at the time. I thought I was being patient. I thought I was being understanding. I thought I was doing what I needed to do to make things work. Looking back, I see it differently. In this episode, I open up about what I went through, how it affected me emotionally and mentally, and the journey of coming to terms with it....

Dating has a way of revealing more about you than the people you choose. In this episode, I open up about the kinds of relationships I’ve had — from emotionally unavailable men, to workaholics, to even moments where I accepted far less than I deserved. I share how my mindset at the time shaped the men I entertained, including a difficult season when I was dating while my father was seriously ill,...

Most of us grew up thinking we go straight from regular periods to menopause in our 50s. Nobody told us about the "in-between"—perimenopause. Think of it as the free trial before the full subscription, and let’s be honest, the symptoms can feel like a disaster if you aren't prepared. In this episode of SEASONED , we’re pulling back the curtain on what’s actually happening in our 40s...
