Maybe This Matters is a podcast about growth, identity, healing, and the stories that shape us. Through honest conversations with creators, thinkers, and everyday people, we explore what truly matters in life and the moments that change us. Because maybe hearing someone else’s story can remind you that yours matters too.
What happens when you start wanting more for yourself than the life you were taught to accept?
In Episode 26 of Maybe This Matters, I sit down with Cara Leigh Clinton for a conversation about breaking patterns, questioning inherited expectations, and giving ourselves permission to build a life that feels like our own.
We talk about parenthood, love, divorce, and mental health. About the relationships that shape us, the expectations we carry from our families, and what it means to want something different without having every step figured out.
Cara also shares her transition from Christianity to spirituality, making space for a conversation about faith, changing beliefs, and the questions that come with understanding what you believe for yourself. We explore her social media family, the community she has built online, and the connection that can grow when people feel seen in one another’s stories.
Through it all is a question so many of us are learning to answer: What do I want to carry forward, and what am I ready to change?

Becoming the Love We Never Saw | Haley and MonDarius Black
What happens when the kind of love you want to build is different from the love you grew up seeing?
Haley and MonDarius Black sit down with me for an honest conversation about love, marriage, partnership, and what it means to intentionally create something you may not have had a blueprint for.
We talk about learning each other, choosing each other through different seasons, communication, growth, grief expectations, parenting, and the work that comes with building a relationship that feels safe, healthy, and uniquely yours.
Because sometimes love is not about recreating what you saw growing up. Sometimes it is about having the courage to become the example you wish you had.

The Fight to Be Chosen | Nakiah Alam
How much of your life can you spend trying to be chosen before you begin to choose yourself?
Nakiah Alam grew up searching for where she belonged. She navigated two faiths, longed for her father’s approval, and became a mother at seventeen. Through early motherhood, years of survival, and the end of a sixteen year relationship, she kept finding her way forward.
In Episode 24, Nakiah and I talk about the weight of rejection, the love that helped carry her, and what it means to stop measuring your worth by someone else’s acceptance. We also talk about motherhood, faith, and becoming the person you are when you no longer have to earn your place.
