   the fear of being loved

   To the black girl who fears the very thing she desires, I see you. When we fear intimacy, closeness, and being seen, it might be deeper than just the fear of being hurt. We rarely discuss how scary it can be to be truly loved: to be open, honest, authentic, messy, the lowest and highest forms of ourselves, while trusting that the love will remain. Sometimes, our deepest fears are of being in the safe connections we crave while being allowed to release our former ways of being. In this episode, we get real about the fear of being loved, why stepping out of hiding is sometimes the hardest thing to do, and how being free is how we create space for the loving connections we desire and deserve. – This episode is a part of our multi-month podcast series: Writing the Story of Being Seen. October brings a series of solo episodes that leaves us seeing deeply, because when we embrace a deeper perspective, we also open ourselves up to new parts of ourselves and new answers to the questions our hearts have been begging to be answered. -- I look forward to the rest of 2026 has in store for us, and I hope it leaves you feeling a lot more seen, heard, held, and hopeful.

   seeing the patterns that shape our relationships with Mahkada Taylor, PhD

   To the black girl who keeps finding herself at the end of another relationship that feels like a repeat of the past, I see you. Today, we’re diving deeper into our relational patterns: where they stem from, why the painful ones are so hard to break, and how we can finally re-create patterns that move us towards a life we truly desire and love. Here to help us break the patterns that break our hearts is Dr. Mahkada Taylor, the creator of the Relational Repatterning Method™. Dr. Mahkada Taylor is a licensed psychologist and the founder of Pathways to Freedom Mental Wellness, a private practice based in Atlanta, GA. Dr. Taylor’s deep and insightful relational work has led to the birth of the Relational Repatterning Method™, a framework designed to help people understand and transform the underlying patterns shaping how they relate to themselves, others, and the world around them.

   when being soft doesn’t feel safe: softness, self-safety, and being seen

   Your softness is the strongest thing about you. We learned that in order to be strong, we must reject any part of us that is soft—that is gentle, that is relaxed, that is open, that is in touch with all parts of the self. Our tears were seen as weakness, our fears as danger, our truth as a threat. But, what if all these parts of us, that make up our ‘softness’, are all the ingredients that actually make us strong? In this episode, we explore how what we once thought would make us soft and unsafe, actually protects and platforms us for the connection and lives we crave. – This is a part of our multi-month podcast series: Writing the Story of Being Seen. In the presence of the final months of 2026, we are getting intimate with our own stories. We’ll ask questions like: who wrote this story, who holds the pen, is this story full and honest, and how do I really want this story to end, or more importantly, how do I want this new part of my story to begin? October brings a series of solo episodes that leaves us seeing deeply, because when we embrace a deeper perspective, we also open ourselves up to new parts of ourselves and new answers to the questions our hearts have been begging to be answered. -- I look forward to the rest of 2026 has in store for us, and I hope it leaves you feeling a lot more seen, heard, held, and hopeful.
