About Out Here Tryna Survive

Out Here Tryna Survive is a trauma-informed, reflective podcast centering the emotional lives, resilience, and humanity of Black women — especially those of us navigating midlife, healing, motherhood, and healing after survival. Hosted by Grace Sandra — Mama, storyteller, advocate, and lifelong student of survival — this podcast explores what it feels like to live in a world that constantly demands our strength while offering little protection. Through personal storytelling, cultural reflection, and nervous-system-aware conversations, each episode holds space for truth, grief, joy, rage, softness, and repair. This is not a place for perfection or performance. It’s a place for us as Black women to exhale, feel seen, and remember ourselves. We are braver than we believe ✨

   Send us Fan Mail Your body is not subtle forever. Sometimes it whispers through curiosity, tension, or that weird tiredness you can’t “push through.” Sometimes it yells through burnout, shutdown, or the kind of restlessness that makes you question everything. I’m Grace, and I’m sharing the real-life ways my body has been trying to guide me for decades, even when my brain couldn’t name what was happening yet.

   Ep 53: The Real Problem isn't Being a Pick-Me. It's Self-Abandonment

   Send us Fan Mail A single line on a reality show can expose a lifetime of conditioning. After watching Love Island’s most explosive moments, we sit with the gut-punch of hearing someone plead to be chosen and ask the real question behind all the viral “pick me” discourse: what happens when you start choosing another person over yourself? We talk about why “pick me culture” gets weaponized as a shame label, and how that kind of public dragging can sound like internalized misogyny dressed up a...
