It's about real-life reflections, a few laughs, and the wisdom we gain from every step of the journey. ✨ Here's what you can expect:💟Two cousins, one couch, and zero scripts.💟The raw beauty of looking back with the wisdom we have now. 💟How faith, family, and those “aha” moments shape our path forward. 💟And a heartfelt goodbye to Season 4... but don’t worry, we’ll be back in September for Season 5!

Get out your own way with Detra Truehart

This episode is rich. Real-life updates, spiritual depth, and the kind of sisterhood that holds weight. Tawana and Detra open up about where they are now, laughing through perimenopause, shifting responsibilities, and choosing to trust God's pace. They talk about what it means to be in exile—not just physically, but spiritually and emotionally—and how that space can actually be sacred ground for growth. In this episode, we get into it. For real: ▪️What happens when your identity isn’t rooted in your role, your title, or your ministry? ▪️Can “doing less” actually be the most obedient thing you do this year?▪️Why we default to certain patterns when we’re pressed—and how God wants to rewire our spiritual muscle memory. ▪️What if community isn’t just comfort—it’s Kingdom strategy? ▪️And... andddd... what if vulnerability isn’t weakness, but the very thing that unlocks obedience? This episode is for any woman who’s ever felt like she had to hold it all together, even in exile. Detra brings her lived wisdom, honesty, and humor. Tawana shares from the messy middle of her own realignment. This isn’t just a conversation. It’s a mirror, a journal entry, and a deep exhale. ⬇️⬇️⬇️Connect with Detra Trueheart ⬇️⬇️⬇️ 📺YouTube: Tuesday Tea with D [https://www.youtube.com/@detratrueheart/streams] (new episodes Tuesdays at 12:15 PM EST) 📍 Event: #iSpeakLifeLive 2025 in Myrtle Beach — get more information at www.ispeaklifelive.com [http://www.ispeaklifelive.com/] 🛫 Community: Inner Circle Mentorship & Membership Community -- www.ispeaklifeinnercircle.com [http://www.ispeaklifeinnercircle.com/] 📲 Social Media: Instagram: @trueheartspeaks [https://instagram.com/detra_trueheart] | Facebook: @trueheartspeaks [https://facebook.com/trueheartspeaks] | TikTok: @detratrueheart [https://tiktok.com/@detratrueheart]

Tyla Talks: Laughing, Living, and Letting the Cameras Roll (S4:E12)

Real talk? Sometimes the most healing thing we can do is laugh with our kids instead of always correcting them. In this special episode titled “Tyla Talks,” Tawana is joined, once again, by her daughter, Tyla, not for an interview, but for some good old-fashioned joy.As Tyla does her mom’s makeup (and throws in a little shade along the way), the two play “This or That,” swap hilarious stories, and answer wild “what if” questions. There’s no script, no pressure, and no parenting lesson at the end, just presence, laughter, and love.If you’ve been in survival mode lately, this episode is your reminder that joy is still holy, healing, and very much here.🫶🏽 Whether you’re listening from the car, the kitchen, or the bathroom floor, this episode will remind you that laughter can be sacred, too.—🎙️ Tawana Talks is the podcast where ADHD parenting gets real, raw, and ridiculously funny.

Proud Mommy Moments

Today on Tawana Talks, we’re slowing down to celebrate the wins that often get overlooked — the kind of moments that feel regular to everyone else but are monumental when you're raising a child with ADHD. I’m sharing a few proud momma moments that might seem small from the outside, but inside our home, they’re worthy of a whole celebration. From peaceful grocery runs to first solo shopping trips and newfound independence in the kitchen, these are the moments I refuse to miss  and I want to remind you not to miss yours either. Because the world might not clap for every step,  but around here, we throw a whole party for the growth we prayed for. In This Episode: — Why typical growth looks different (and bigger) when you’re parenting an ADHD child — The small milestones that mean everything — Why slowing down to celebrate matters more than you think — A reminder to cherish what others overlook 💌 Connect With Me: Instagram: @tawanatalks [https://www.instagram.com/tawanatalks/] YouTube: TL Collaborative Channel [https://www.youtube.com/@TLCollaborative] Website: tawanatlcollaborat.wixsite.com/tlcollaborative [http://tawanatlcollaborat.wixsite.com/tlcollaborative]  🎧 Subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with a mama who needs the reminder: Don’t miss the moment.

I Didn’t Mean to Parent from Fear—But I Did

This episode isn’t a how-to. It’s a heart-check. I’m talking about what it feels like to be the only parent—the one making all the decisions, holding all the weight, and trying to raise a child with ADHD while running on empty. I didn’t mean to parent from fear. But sometimes, when survival is louder than softness, it happens. This is a real, reflective conversation about the moments we don’t post... and what happens when we finally name them. No performance. No perfection. Just presence. What You’ll Hear in This Episode: * A powerful post that triggered deep reflection * The difference between parenting from love and parenting from lack * What happens when survival becomes the only parenting strategy * How ADHD and emotional exhaustion collide * A reminder that naming the pattern is where healing begins * Why coaching and therapy matter—not for fixing, but for support Reflective Questions: * What version of you is your child learning to survive * Where has fear crept into your parenting through exhaustion—not intention? * Have you been parenting from a place of depletion instead of connection?
