After a few month hiatus from the podcast, I'm back with a new episode and a new guest. As a friend and also a coach and retreat facilitator, Renee Manning leads our episode by flipping the swith and interviewing me about my recent break and how I've been dealing with with the sudden loss of my grandmother. Together we get real and authentic on how to maneuver grief and how we can fill the void with new love and experiences.

For Aundrea Smith, a self-proclaimed "quiet black girl", the journey of finding her voice in a predominantly white space has helped shaped her into who she is as a black woman. Being one of my high school classmates, 17 years later Aundrea and I get the amazing opportunity to reconnect and have an open and honest conversation about race, differences and the importance of always being true to who you are. This conversation is close to my heart because I know both of us hope listening will give you insight to see that we are all the same deep down. You can buy Aundrea's book: For The Quiet Black Girl: Trying to Find Her Voice In A Predominantly White Space on Amazon.

Did you know that 1 in 10 women are living with endometriosis? I am the 1 in 10 with endometriosis and for the first time I am sharing my story with the world. March is endometriosis awareness month and on this special episode I get to speak with Jillian Schurr, board member of The Endometriosis Coalition, and an endo sister who is fighting this condition and adenomyosis as well. Together we share our journeys, spread knowledge about this disease and hope to continue to bring awareness to others. Learn more about The Endometriosis Coalition at www.theendo.co
