EP 7: Unpermitted Work (Fibroids) 25.07.2025 14:58
Some burdens show up without permission — and leave us living with what we never asked for. In this episode, I talk about fibroids: how they changed the way I see my body, my health, and my boundaries. I share what it feels like to keep building your life while carrying a heavy burden, and why choosing to tear down what doesn’t serve you is its own kind of healing. This is about more than symptoms...
EP 6: Cure Time 03.07.2025 10:26
This episode is about time — not how to manage it, but how to stop resenting it. I’m learning that not everything needs to move fast to be working. Some parts of the process require stillness, patience, and space to set. Between full-time work, school, building my brand, and trying to show up in every area of my life, I’ve had to rethink what progress really looks like. If you’ve ever felt like yo...
EP 5: The Cost of Building 26.06.2025 6:32
Today, I’m showing up in real-time—exhausted, anxious, and still in motion. If you’re trying to build something while managing high-level trades, school, relationships, grief, growth, friendships and family plus your own healing—you’re not alone. This one is for the days that feel heavy but still count. We talk burnout, discipline, and what it means to show up when you’re not at your best. Because...
EP 4: Weatherproof 18.06.2025 9:56
🔗 Ananda Lewis Essence Article: In Her Own Words In construction, we don’t just build for the sunshine—we build for the storm. This episode is my heart in real time. A reflection on the emotional weight of what we see online: illness, loss, grief—and what it’s been stirring up in me. I talk about what it means to weatherproof your life through intention, care, and discipline. From prevention to p...
EP 3: Frame First, Finishes Later 12.06.2025 14:13
Before anything looks good on the outside, is it important to you to know what’s holding you up on the inside? This episode is about the part of the process that rarely gets posted—where healing isn’t glamorous, and growth is quiet. It’s the frame stage. The structure beneath the glow-up. I’m sharing what it means to build slow, redefine your milestones, trust your voice, and stay rooted when no o...
EP 2: Demo Day 04.06.2025 10:36
Before you can rebuild your life, you have to make peace with what needs to come down. In Episode 2 of UNDR CTXN, I reflect on the personal demolitions I’ve walked through—leaving a marriage, shifting careers, and shedding the stories that no longer serve me. This isn’t destruction for destruction’s sake. It’s intentional. It’s spiritual. It’s necessary. If you’re in the thick of transition, quest...
EP 1: The Rebuild 31.05.2025 6:07
On my 35th birthday, I embraced a new beginning—truthful, fearless, and still in the making. This episode dives deep into breaking barriers as a woman in construction, navigating the relentless challenge of fibroids, and embracing the raw, powerful journey of becoming. If you’re rebuilding yourself, showing up through doubt and pain, you’re not alone. This is UNDR CTXN — where growth happens in th...
