In this deeply personal episode, I share my journey to being diagnosed with autism and everything it’s brought up for me. From early childhood experiences and the signs I missed, to the full assessment process and finally feeling seen, I open up about how life is starting to make more sense. I reflect on the years I felt different, the exhaustion of masking and the peace I’ve found in finally having answers. If you’ve ever questioned yourself, this one’s for you. Hosted on Acast.

Struggling to Let Go of What Could've Been | Episode 13
In this episode I open up about the emotional weight of letting go of people, timelines and the version of life I thought I’d have. From romantic and platonic relationships to the moments my body remembers even when my mind tries to move on, this one’s raw and reflective. I talk about what it feels like to still be processing, how old wounds can resurface and why struggling doesn’t mean you’re not healing. If you’ve been beating yourself up for not being “over it,” this is your reminder to offer yourself grace ❤️. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Monitoring Spirits: Not Everyone is Rooting For You | Episode 11
This week, I’m opening up about my experience with monitoring spirits—those friends, family members, and even past lovers who’ve watched me, judged me, and shown fake support. From weird behaviour to mistreatment online, I’ve had to learn how to protect my energy, trust my intuition, and accept that not everyone clapping is clapping for the right reasons.

Neurospicy: Diagnosed Late, But Not Too Late | Episode 10
In this episode, I’m sharing my neurodivergent journey. How getting diagnosed with ADHD last year gave me the validation I didn’t know I needed, and why I now believe I might also be autistic. From growing up feeling “too sensitive” and misunderstood, to navigating shame and silence in the Black community, this one’s close to the heart. I also break down facts and stats around ADHD and autism, especially how it affects Black women, and why so many of us are only now being seen 🍒. Hosted on Acast.
