Episode Synopsis

In today’s episode, I’m opening my heart in a way I never have before. For years, I carried the silent weight of my three abortions — tucking the pain behind motherhood, routines, and a strong-on-the-outside face. I thought if I ignored it, if I stayed busy enough, I could outrun the memories, the grief, the guilt. But our bodies… our wombs… they remember everything we don’t want to say out loud.One day I finally sat down with my womb, with my ancestors, with God…and I told the truth. I let myself feel it. I cried. I forgave myself. And y’all — that forgiveness cracked something wide open.Through womb meditations, breathwork, grounding prayers, and gentle yoni steaming, I started releasing layers of shame and grief I didn’t even realize I was still carrying. What I found underneath wasn’t pain… it was peace, softness, and a deep joy I didn’t know was possible.This episode is for every Black woman who has ever held secret pain in her womb space — abortions, miscarriages, birth trauma, fibroids, loss, shame, silence. We deserve healing. We deserve compassion. We deserve to feel whole again… without judgment, without stigma, without apology.Come sit with me. Breathe with me. And let’s remember: forgiveness is freedom.If today’s conversation touched your spirit, honor that. And if you’re ready to deepen your healing journey, my book Flow Feminine Wellness and my teas and rituals for womb harmony are here for you.
