Flip That Switch: The Podcast
Come along on this journey with me and my friends as we look back on our decision making and try and help our younger selves navigate life differently, with hindsight. If we could travel back in time and be our younger selves again how would we move in the different walks of life. This podcast will dive into conversations that focus on "Back In The Day" to now.

In this episode, I sat down with Jaleesa Williams, a mixed-race mom of three, and we had a real conversation about identity, motherhood, and mental health. She shared what it was like growing up mixed, how her family dynamics shaped her, and how that influenced her relationships over the years.
We also talked about counseling, why those tough conversations about race actually matter, and how she’s been intentional about teaching her kids to embrace both sides of who they are. It was an honest, laid-back conversation about culture, growth, and raising confident kids in today’s world.
