Hey, Hey, Hey!!
Turning Twenty-One, Two Years Done: Cheers to Maia & Emphatically You! Family, on April 20th, the Emphatically You Podcast celebrated two years of allowing my voice to be heard. I am still in awe! I am continuing to work to be better each day. 
Today's episode is special in so many different ways because we not only get to celebrate two years of podcasting magic, but we also are celebrating a wonderful milestone. TODAY is my daughter Maia's 21st birthday!!
I still remember the day I went into labor and the night I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. It is hard to believe that was 21 years ago.
Sit back, relax, and kick off your shoes while we celebrate these blessings together!!

Hey Hey Hey!!
Ya'll we live in a world where societal norms and expectations  try to box us into predefined roles. When we are young we are bombarded with messages about how we should look, behave, and what we should aspire to be. In today's episode I am going to share and talk about understanding societal expectations, owning your choices and understanding vulnerability is not weakness.
Sit back, relax, and kick off your shoes while we take a brief journey to self discovery.

Hey Ya'll Hey!!
