The Main Character Experience™ Podcast
Helping Black women heal toxic patterns, rebuild their identity, and walk in unshakable confidence as the Main Character of their life.
If you’re a Black woman starting over in life, love, career, or healing—welcome home.
The Main Character Experience™ is a mindset and personal growth podcast for women who feel stuck, overlooked, or tired of shrinking in rooms they were born to own.
Hosted by Kala C. Simmons—Master Social Worker, Certified Life Coach, and Confidence Strategist—each episode delivers no-fluff coaching, empowering mindset shifts, and emotional mastery tools rooted in identity development, self-worth, and bold personal transformation.
Inside each episode, you’ll learn how to:
- Rebuild your confidence after a breakup, breakdown, or breakthrough
- Set boundaries without guilt or backtracking
- Navigate career pivots and purpose shifts in your 30s, 40s, and beyond
- Heal your relationship with yourself so you stop performing for validation
- Step into your Main Character Era™ with power, peace, and presence
This podcast centers the lived experiences, emotional labor, and brilliance of Black women navigating fresh starts, but let’s be real—growth has no shade card. If you’re a woman who values truth, healing, and a little side-eye-worthy humor along the way—you belong here.
Through raw conversations, personal stories, and next-level confidence coaching, Kala will help you stop playing small and start showing up as the woman you’ve always been.

The Main Character Experience™ Podcast
The Truth About Safety, Support, and Sitting on the Ledge
“Fine was never the goal. Freedom was.”
This one is personal, tender, and oh-so powerful.
In this milestone episode, I’m celebrating 2 years, 182 episodes, and thousands of downloads across six continents—but more importantly, I’m taking you behind the scenes of one vulnerable, unforgettable moment that perfectly captures what this journey has been like.
From sitting barefoot on a ledge with a cupcake… to the realization that even the strong friend deserves to be supported—this episode is for the woman who’s been carrying it all, doing it all, and trying to hold it all together. Sis, it’s time to rewrite your story.
I’m sharing:
- The story behind the ledge photo 📸
- What safety really looks like (and how to recognize it)
- The difference between surviving and living
- A heartfelt invitation into my brand new group program: The Rewrite: CTRL+ALT+ME™
