The new year arrives with expectations of fresh starts, motivation, and healing—but for many of us, life doesn’t magically reset at midnight. In this first episode of KREO Unfiltered Conversations, we talk honestly about what it feels like when grief, anxiety, and depression follow you into the new year instead of staying behind.
We unpack the pressure to “start over,” to be hopeful, productive, and okay, while silently carrying loss, exhaustion, and emotional weight. This conversation speaks especially to Black women who are often expected to push through pain without pause.
This episode isn’t about resolutions—it’s about reality. About giving yourself permission to move forward at your own pace, to name what you’re feeling, and to understand that healing doesn’t begin just because the calendar changes. You’re healing doesn’t have to be loud it just needs your permission.
