EP 5: The Shift

EP 5: The Shift

Some changes don’t happen all at once—they settle in quietly, until one day everything feels different. In this episode of The Fly Black Widow, I reflect on our move to Atlanta and what it meant to step into a life that didn’t fully feel like mine. While he found community, recognition, and success, I found myself navigating isolation, frustration, and a growing sense of distance within our marriage. This chapter explores what it feels like to be present in a life you built—yet slowly feel yourself drifting within it.

EP 4: The Yes That Changed My Life

The word "yes" doesn't just answer a question. It can begin a new life. In this episode of The Fly Black Widow, I share the story of our Thanksgiving Day proposal, the excitement and anticipation of planning a wedding, and the leap of faith it took to move to Tampa to start building a life together. From saying yes to becoming a wife, this chapter reflects on love, commitment, accepting an unwanted career, and the first year of marriage before our next move to Atlanta that ultimately opened another chapter in the story.

EP 3: Miles, Moments, and a Yes

In this episode of The Fly Black Widow, I share how connection turned into commitment. What began as a meeting in New Orleans became a decision to build something real — across cities, airports, and long conversations about the future. I walk through how I chose to begin the relationship, the rhythm of traveling between New Orleans and Tampa, and the moments that made long-distance love feel worth the effort. From reunion weekends to goodbye gates, this chapter is about intention, belief, and emotional investment. This is the chapter about choosing — not just meeting, not just feeling — but deciding to say yes.

EP 2: A City, A Weekend, A Beginning

In this episode of The Fly Black Widow, I return to the city where everything began — New Orleans during Essence Fest — full of music, movement, and possibility. I share who I was before we met, the energy of that weekend, and the welcome party where a simple introduction turned into something more. What followed was the start of a long-distance love story built on hope, intention, and belief. This is the beginning — when love felt new, the city felt alive, and the future felt open. Some stories start quietly. This one started in New Orleans.

EP 1: MY WHY

Welcome to The Fly Black Widow. This episode introduces the heart behind the podcast and the journey that led me here. I share why I’m telling my story, how becoming a widow at 33 reshaped everything I thought I knew about love and marriage, and why this space exists—for honesty, reflection, and healing. The Fly Black Widow is a podcast about life, love, loss, and forgiveness. It’s about what happens when your eyes finally open, when grief comes without closure, and when you learn that strength sometimes means walking away from dishonesty and choosing yourself. This welcome episode sets the tone for the conversations ahead—raw, thoughtful, and real. No blame. No bitterness. Just truth, lived experience, and the courage to speak it out loud. If you’ve ever loved deeply, stayed too long, lost without answers, or are learning how to trust yourself again—this space is for you. Thank you for being here. This is where the journey begins.
