There are so many parts of being a woman that we don't always talk about. The beautiful parts, the messy parts, the things we carry, and the experiences that change us.

In this episode, I read a chapter from SHE, the book I'm currently writing. A collection of stories about womanhood and the countless experiences that shape our lives. From being taught to protect our purity to suddenly being expected to embrace our sexuality within marriage, this piece explores the unspoken rules that come with saying "I do."

The shame, the expectations, and the complicated relationship so many women develop with their own bodies and desires. I think the more we share our stories, the more we begin to understand each other, even when our experiences are different. And maybe that's where a little more kindness begins. In how we see ourselves, how we see each other, and remembering that we're all in this together.

In this episode of Naked, I sit down with Kiara for a conversation about infertility, grief, identity and the pressure of being “the happy one.”

At 18, Kiara learned she had MRKH syndrome and began facing the possibility that she may not be able to have children of her own. She shares what it was like to carry that into adulthood and marriage, and how she and her husband have learned to live with questions that don’t always have clear answers.

We also talk about busyness, rest, and what happens when we finally get quiet enough to hear what’s going on underneath it all.

A conversation about infertility, motherhood, grief, joy and learning that a diagnosis can be part of your story without becoming all of who you are.

In this first episode of the new season of Naked, I sit down with Michelle, a 62-year-old burlesque performer, for an honest conversation about womanhood, aging and self-love.

We talk about self-acceptance, body image, identity and what happens when the roles that have defined us begin to change. Michelle shares how she learned to let go throughout the different seasons of motherhood, and how that shaped the way she approached her children growing up and eventually leaving home.

We also talk about coming home to yourself, finding purpose in a new season of life, genuine connection and learning to love all the parts of who you are.

A conversation about motherhood, empty nest, aging, identity, self-discovery and becoming more fully yourself.
