Welcome to Episode 100 of the Be She Podcast — Be seen, be heard, be empowered.

This milestone episode is more than just a celebration. It's a reflection, a reckoning, and a reclamation.

After taking a few intentional weeks of rest during treatment and the holidays, this moment marks not just a return—but a renewal.

For years, I believed consistency meant never stopping. That strength meant pushing through. That leadership meant always being "on." But this season asked something different of me: to slow down, to listen, to heal, and to choose myself—not as a reward, but as a requirement.

In this episode, I'm taking you behind the mic and into the journey of becoming a woman who chooses to be seen.

We talk about:

🌱 Why rest is not a setback but a sacred part of growth

🌱 How visibility is an inner transformation, not a marketing strategy

🌱 The tiny, shaky, brave moments that built this podcast

🌱 What it means to show up when you'd rather shrink

🌱 Healing the parts of yourself you buried just to survive

🌱 Choosing courage over confidence, every single day

🌱 The identity shifts required to reach 100 episodes—especially doing it solo

You'll hear the truth behind the early days: the shaking hands, the trembling voice, the fear of being seen in the middle of divorce, exhaustion, and rebuilding. You'll hear how visibility became less about spotlight moments and more about choosing to tell the truth, take up space, and stop hiding.

Because visibility isn't about perfection.

It's about presence.

It's about healing.

It's about becoming.

And reaching 100 episodes? It represents courage, persistence, and transformation—not just mine, but yours. Because you've been here. You've listened, supported, and grown alongside me. This community has become a home for women who are rising.

Here's to the next chapter.

Here's to choosing visibility as a lifestyle.

Here's to becoming the woman you were always meant to be.
