Who We Become

I'm baaaaaack! Wow have I missed recording! My capacity and bandwidth has been fluctuating so I have a new way of podcasting now.

On this episode of the Who We Become podcast, I have a very special guest, who I served in the Air Force with, Echelle McArthur. But the reason we are here today is her story of rebirth. She shares with us why she has two birthdays, and rightly so. The way that Chelle was able to think so quickly on her feet is the very reason she is here to tell us about it. Today, May 13, 2026, marks two years t...

I recorded this episode last weekend because I thought I would share what it's like for me personally to podcast and I forgot to publish it because my toddler had just got home with her dad and I was excited to see her. My bad! Well, the very same week of recording this I began to get some questions from several of you and a few others on social media. I guess the timing was no coincidence! No...

I struggled with my femininity over the years for several reasons but I am learning about becoming softer around my edges without forgetting the strength I have. Can you relate? I know I'm not the only woman who has had to step into her strongest versions and forgot to take care of herself, that it's okay to dress in whatever makes her feel her best, or that it's a balance between bein...

How often do we see someone reach a goal they talk about but didn't see everything that went into it? Giving a keynote has been a goal of mine, but the way it all came together is something I could not have imagined. Who you are today could be a totally different person than who you are in a few months. This episode of Who We Become is a summary of my journey over a few months, beginning where I d...

A big reason I podcast at all is to practice speaking up. But it didn't start with this podcast and after living through years of experiences that required me to use my voice, I can say that who you are and who you are becoming has a lot to do with whether you are using your voice or not. I know that I won't die with regrets of staying quiet because I did it enough to learn the consequence...

Holding space often gets confused with fixing what is or feels wrong. Although I have genuinely held space for others and myself countless times, I have been guilty of offering solutions to someone who didn't need that in the moment. They wanted me to simply be there. Who you are in that moment holding space for someone else can be the difference between someone coming back to you for confidin...

Today is Dia De Los Muertos (The Day Of The Dead) and I honor my loved ones today and everyday. In this episode, I get raw about some things I have noticed and learned through my own grief. The truth is that death IS a part of life. As a former childbirth coach, I have seen the miracle of life being birthed. On the other side of that is death. Yes it is sad, sometimes tragic and brutal but so is b...

This episode is the story of my recent rollercoaster of a lesson. I felt so much shame around being irresponsible and losing my driver's lesson, which triggered me to have a huge crying release that I had held for a couple weeks. While I have been having so many wins and breakthroughs lately, I was also reminded that life will life throw punches that I must roll with. Once I did, I had a realizati...

There is so much talk around having discernment for other people and their intentions or their energy. But what about our own? What about being discerning of when we are doing too much or being too hard on ourselves? I am calling myself out on what one of my principles in this episode! "Lean Into Discomfort": Am I here to encourage you to do so? Absolutely! But it should never come at the cost of...

I share how keeping it simple, keeping my routine and practices  intentional, leaving pressure in the past, and showing up imperfectly has paid off in ways I did not foresee at the beginning of this year. These last 5 weeks have been the proof I needed for my future self. What can you do you now so your future self has proof that you are showing up? Highlights from this episode : -Healing begins w...

Yes, I went there and "beat the dead horse" on people pleasing. I believe that when it comes to women no longer people pleasing, being empowered, and living with boundaries, half the battle is using our voice. But it takes consistency for the "speaking up muscle" to grow. I shared something on social media this week that over 1500 women resonated with and I knew it was because at some point betwee...

Earlier this month I had one of my favorite experiences of my life: attending a TEDx event! If you follow me on social media or have met me in person, you know that I value memories over things. This is forever one of my favorite memories. TEDx St. Pete Women was organized by Montrella Cowan, a TEDx Speaker herself ( Why We Need To Talk About Grief At Work ), and was hosted at the Museum of Fine A...

If you've ever had a season that you did not think would end, this episode is for you. ❤️ This year I felt like I was drowning due to my health taking a plummet and I had to relearn how to use my voice, listen to my body and lean into discomfort more than I ever have. After months of darkness I finally began to see and feel the light again, but none of it was possible without some of my favorite h...

The B word is so common now and I think it’s become way too much of an excuse to dodge the responsibility we owe ourselves and each other to communicate our needs, values, and standards.  In this episode I speak about:  -boundaries being used for improving connections and not severing them -preventing resentment -the discomfort that comes with the territory of boundary setting  -how boundaries don...
