    The “soft life” looks good on social media — but what does it look like in real life, when you’re healing, parenting, working, and still holding it all together? In this episode, we dig into the real version of softness — one rooted in choice, boundaries, and rest… even when it’s hard to come by.

    We talk about the privilege often tied to ease, the guilt that comes with slowing down, and what it means to pursue peace when you weren’t raised with it. Plus, I shout out someone who embodies strength and softness in motion: Tiana Massaquoi, a mentor and woman I deeply admire.

    This is for anyone redefining what rest looks like in their current season.
    Pull up a chair — let’s talk about The Realistic Soft Life.

    In this episode of The Kitchen Table, I’m answering two vulnerable and relatable questions from listeners: one about navigating burnout when life just won’t let up, and another about the heavy guilt that creeps in when we find ourselves parenting in ways we swore we wouldn’t—just like our parents did.

    I share how loss gave me perspective, how I offer myself grace in the middle of guilt, and why self-awareness—not perfection—is what makes us better. Plus, I check in with you (because life is a lot right now) and introduce a new segment: Table Reads, where I share what’s currently on my nightstand.

    In this episode of The Kitchen Table, we’re talking about what happens when life doesn’t go according to plan. Whether it’s a small detour or a major life shift, it’s never easy to pivot when you thought you had it all figured out. I’m sharing some real-time experiences and lessons about letting go, adjusting expectations, and trusting the journey — even when it feels messy and uncertain. Pull up a chair and let’s chat about finding peace when plans fall apart.
