  • Strong Enough to be Fragile

    Strong Enough to be Fragile
    May 13 2026
    There are some moments in life that stop you in your tracks and make you confront what it means to be held together by God’s grace. This week, This week, I’m opening up about the accident that left me in a neck brace, the reality of living in between miracles, and what it looks like to trust God when life suddenly feels fragile. We’re talking about vulnerability, strength, being cared for when you’re used to caring for everyone else, and the hard truth that some of us don’t know how much we matter until life forces us to slow down. If you’ve ever found yourself trying to push through pain, avoid your emotions, or figure out how to trust God in an uncertain season, this conversation is for you.

    Stop Playing Small, Darling w/ Emma Grede
    Apr 8 2026
    So much of what you need can be found within, but ambition has to find you working. Just ask Emma Grede, one of today's most influential and highly accomplished self-made women.

And let's not romanticize the process, sis. You'll face unenjoyable work, self-limiting beliefs that aren't yours, and emotions that take advantage of your patterns. But our girl Emma made it clear. It's the prerogative of a woman to look after herself. So start where it matters most—start with yourself and pre-order a copy of her book today! Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Your Body is Trying to Tell You Something w/ Lupita Nyong'o

    Your Body is Trying to Tell You Something w/ Lupita Nyong'o
    Mar 25 2026
    In this deeply personal and compelling conversation, Sarah Jakes Roberts sits down with Academy Award–winning actress Lupita Nyong'o to shed light on a reality that far too many women endure in silence—living with uterine fibroids. These noncancerous tumors affect up to 80% of women and disproportionately impact Black women, yet they remain largely understudied. After facing this diagnosis herself, Lupita became a catalyst for advocacy, launching the Make Fibroids Count campaign to advance awareness and support research into less invasive treatment options. This episode underscores the critical truth that women deserve access to comprehensive medical resources, informed care, and a future in which our health is addressed with the urgency and seriousness it deserves.
