Just Tell Me Half of It Then is a storytelling podcast hosted by Alisa Bell featuring adults who started parenting between the ages of 13 and 24 — and built lives rooted in stability, purpose, and self-defined success. Each episode begins with one simple question: Who are you today? From there, guests unpack the half of their story that shaped them — the grit, the loss, the growth, the pivots. Because none of us starts with the full story. And sometimes half of it is enough — for now.

Changing the Script: Michelle McCane's Story
<p>Michelle, an Oklahoma House Representative for District 72, educator, and former teen mom. Michelle describes herself as genuine, empathetic, and driven by legacy and the sacrifices of those before her, sharing family history in North Tulsa and reflections on traditional gender roles. She recounts becoming a mother at 15 in 2003, navigating unstable housing, a religious children’s home, Margaret Hudson, earning her GED, working full time, and securing an apartment at 16. She explains how early sexual abuse shaped her commitment to age-appropriate sex education and frank conversations with her children about safety and contraception. The discussion critiques Oklahoma’s inadequate systems for young parents—childcare, healthcare, mental health, wages, and school supports—and addresses accountability and support for young fathers. Michelle explains she entered politics out of anger at anti-teacher rhetoric and to bring lived experience with public assistance and education into policymaking.</p>
