EP 08 | Is It Perimenopause, or Am I Losing My Mind? | Dr. Aleesha Grier-Rogers

We were told to expect hot flashes and nothing else. But menopause comes for Black women earlier, hits harder, and lasts longer — and most of us were never told any of it. Not by our doctors, and not by the women who went before us, because nobody told them either.About this episode:Menopause and perimenopause rarely get the honest conversation they deserve, and for Black women the silence is compounded by providers who don't listen. Jamilia sits down with her sister, clinical psychologist Dr. Aleesha Grier-Rogers, to map what actually happens — the symptoms nobody warns you about, and the major life decisions women weigh in the middle of it. They get into how to tell a hormonal shift from a feeling that's genuinely worth trusting, why so many women start to gaslight themselves, and how to walk into a doctor's office and be taken seriously. It's the conversation most of us needed a decade before we got it.About Dr. Aleesha Grier-Rogers:Dr. Aleesha Grier-Rogers is a clinical psychologist who has spent more than a decade guiding women through the health transitions few of us are prepared for — fertility, pregnancy loss, and menopause. She runs Road to Wellness (<a href="https://rtwnow.org">https://rtwnow.org</a>), is licensed in New York, Connecticut, and Maine with telehealth practice across 42 states, and coaches women through IVF, with menopause joining the roster soon.

EP 07 | Style Is Strategy, Not Shopping | Mandy Tucker

Your wardrobe can be full of clothes you love and still feel impossible every single morning. Mandy Tucker's argument: that's rarely about the clothes. The pieces you reach for on the hard days are telling you exactly what you're covering up — and what you're ready to stop hiding from.About this episode:This one is about what your closet knows before you do. Mandy and Jamilia get into why "I have nothing to wear" is almost never a clothing problem, how style becomes a strategy that either moves you toward your next chapter or keeps you stuck where you are, and the guilt that stops so many women — mothers, caregivers, high performers — from pouring anything back into themselves. You'll walk away with Mandy's trifecta for building a wardrobe that actually works (identity, body, lifestyle), a clear first step you can take this week, and a sharper eye for why the influencer economy is quietly costing you money and confidence. It lands as identity work that happens to run through your closet.About Mandy:Mandy Tucker is a London- and Surrey-based personal stylist, mindset coach, and speaker, and the founder of Mandy Tucker Style. After a career in senior leadership, she qualified as a personal stylist and now runs The Visible Woman, an eight-week program for midlife professional women who feel overlooked and are ready to be seen for their ambition. Her work isn't about buying more — it's about teaching women to become their own stylist.In this conversation:<ul><li>Why the pieces you wear most often reveal what you're hiding from</li><li>Style as strategy: dressing for the role and the next chapter, not just the day</li><li>The guilt that keeps women from investing in themselves — and how to put it down</li><li>Mandy's trifecta — identity, body shape, lifestyle — and why the order matters</li><li>How the influencer economy sets women up to fail, and the first step to shopping with intention</li></ul>Find Mandy:Learn more about Mandy's work and The Visible Woman at <a href="https://mandytuckerpersonalstylist.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">mandytuckerpersonalstylist.com.</a>Join the community:What Black Women Know is brought to you by She Leads Here — the global membership community for Black women who are building something, at every stage.

EP 06 | Why Smart Women Stay Stuck | Ouriana Walker

You know exactly what you should be doing. You have the credentials, the clarity, the ambition. So why aren't you doing it? This is the conversation about the gap between knowing and doing — and what's actually sitting in the undercurrent, keeping capable women stuck.About this episode:Ouriana Walker has spent years watching smart, accomplished women — executives, founders, students at the top of their classes — hesitate at the exact moment they should move. What she found underneath the overthinking and the procrastination wasn't a lack of skill or information. It was emotional intelligence: the self-awareness to see your own patterns, and the self-management to act anyway. In this conversation, Jamilia and Ouriana get into why "I know what to do but I'm not doing it" is rarely about the surface excuse, how the meaning you assign to being visible decides whether you ever show up, and why the version of you who already has what you want is simply doing different things — starting with how she spends her money and where she asks for help. If this one feels like it's reading you, that's the point.About Ouriana:Ouriana Walker is a leadership development coach, strategic advisor, and certified social-emotional learning facilitator, and the founder of Dream Big Create, which turns five this year. She works at the intersection of mindset and strategy — coaching high-potential women to close the gap between who they are and the version of themselves doing the thing they say they want.Connect with Ouriana: <a href="http://www.dreambigcreate.com/">www.dreambigcreate.com</a> | Ouriana Walker on LinkedInIn this conversation:<ul><li>Why "I know what to do but I'm not doing it" is an emotional intelligence problem, not a knowledge one</li><li>How the meaning you assign to being visible decides whether you act — judgment, or the person who needs your help</li><li>"You do who you are" — getting into alignment with the identity that already has what you want</li><li>Why confidence comes after the action, not before it</li><li>How the way you spend, invest, and ask for help reveals what you actually believe about yourself</li></ul>Join the community:What Black Women Know is brought to you by She Leads Here — the global membership community for Black women who are building something, at every stage.
