Episode 3: Heard You're Waiting For The Right Time

Episode 4: Ten Years of Co‑Parenting, Heartache & Healing

It's your Big Sis B, and in this emotional episode, I open up about my journey from a secret abortion at 19 to becoming a single mom twice, the challenges of depression during pregnancy, and ten years of co‑parenting my oldest son. I share painful memories, lessons learned, and how I chose compassion over conflict for the sake of my children.  I offer honest advice to anyone facing similar decisions, stressing the importance of communication, and support while healing and growing as a parent. Parenting while healing your own inner child wounds is not for the faint of heart. I see you!

Episode 3: Heard You're Waiting For The Right Time

It's your Big Sis, B! I am back after being sick last week. Today I talk about how to tackle the common trap of waiting for the “perfect” moment to start a goal. I break down fear, perfectionism, and social media comparison, using fitness, parenting, and time constraints as real-life examples. I offer practical, simple advice: start small (even 5–15 minutes), schedule consistent time, keep promises to yourself, and grow discipline over motivation. The encouragement you need to stop waiting and begin now, is here!

Episode 2: Heard You Lost Your Motivation

I am your Big Sis B, and in episode two of Sit With Your Sis, I normalize losing motivation after the initial excitement of a new idea or goal. It's OK, just because you lose motivation doesn't mean you stopped caring! Don't believe your brain, I explain why anxiety and repetitive thoughts can derail progress. I shared two actionable steps to regain momentum: audit the information you consume (social media, podcasts, music) and evaluate who you share your time with, since your circle shapes your habits and mindset. With compassion, practical advice, and a little 'Throne of Glass' motivation, I encourage finding supportive communities and mentors, giving yourself grace, and creating an environment that helps you finish what you started... Because isn't that what we want?

Sit With Your Sis — Episode One: Take the Leap

Hi, I’m your Big Sis B — this is my first episode where I introduce myself as the eldest of seven, share some family background and why I started this podcast—to offer advice, bridge sibling distance, and be the sister I wished I had.  I talk about feeling nervous, because who doesn't feel that way when they're putting themselves out there. I let you in on the people responsible for this podcast being born and I share my favorite quote. If you didn't know about Coach Carter, you will now. This episode is a gentle call to action: take small steps toward what’s on your heart, because your choices affect others, and by starting you give others permission to do the same.
