A new episode is live!
In this episode, I sit down with Melissa of Fab Glance—a lifestyle influencer, digital strategist, and one of the realest voices online—to have a deeply personal conversation about women’s health, fibroids, and her decision to have a hysterectomy. After sharing my own story in a previous episode, I opened the door for others to speak up—and Melissa walked through it with vulnerability, courage, and honesty.
We talk through the emotional and physical realities of living with fibroids, navigating the decision to be child-free, and how society often places unfair expectations on women’s bodies. Melissa also shares what it was like to date after surgery and the fear of how people would react to her health decisions. This episode is a heartfelt reminder that women's health journeys are never one-size-fits-all.
We also discuss:
🩸 Living with fibroids and the trauma of heavy periods
🧠 The emotional labor of making life-altering health decisions
💔 Grieving motherhood and embracing a child-free life
🛌 Healing from surgery—both physically and emotionally
If you’ve ever dealt with reproductive health issues, questioned societal norms about motherhood, or just want to hear two Black women talk candidly about life, love, and healing—this episode is for you.
