Trusting Her Journey
Trusting Her Journey is a podcast dedicated to BIack women and women of color, who are silently struggling, but learning to trust themselves again.
This is for The Helpers, The Healers, The Fixers, and The Prayer Warriors everyone turns to.
When you’re always the “strong one”, it’s hard to admit you’re tired, that you need to rest, and that sometimes you don't know how to let go and ask for help.
Co-hosted by two Licensed Therapists (Christalyn and Felicia) this show gets beneath the surface of strong-woman survival mode, and into the real work of healing.
We have honest conversations about faith, fear, burnout, grief, shame, and overthinking. We talk about rebuilding self-trust. Letting go of over-giving. Learning to rest. And setting boundaries that actually stick.
In this podcast we're going deep but we're doing it together. This is your safe space. Here is where you can begin to trust your journey.

What Healthy Friendships Actually Feel Like (When You’re Growing)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Adult friendships change as life changes.
But healthy friendships don’t fall apart every time things shift. Sometimes they actually grow stronger.
In this episode, we talk about what healthy adult friendships actually look like when people grow, change, and learn how to support each other through different seasons of life.
Over the last few episodes, we’ve been talking about friendship.
In Episode 5, we talked about why adult friendships start to change as our lives change.
In Episode 6, we talked about the conversations most friends avoid having.
In this episode, we continue that conversation by talking about what healthy adult friendships can look like. Because while some friendships shift or fade, there are also friendships that grow with you.
The kind of friendships where:
• your friends respect your changing capacity
• you can say no without the relationship falling apart
• honesty strengthens the relationship instead of damaging it
• friends challenge you when needed and support you when life is heavy
We also talk about the role communication plays in protecting friendships, how social media can distort our expectations of friendship, and why safety and emotional maturity matter in every relationship.
Healthy friendships are not perfect. But they are honest, supportive, and willing to grow.
Throughout the episode, we invite you to think about a few things:
• Are you the kind of friend who makes it safe for others to grow?
• When a friend’s capacity shifts, do you adjust or take it personally?
• Are you creating the same safety in your friendships that you hope to receive?
Because friendship is not just about shared history. Sometimes the strongest friendships are the ones that survive honest conversations and continue to grow over time.
If you're just joining us, we encourage you to go back and listen to Episode 5 and Episode 6 to hear the full conversation about how adult friendships change and why difficult conversations matter.
