After a soul-refilling Thanksgiving, I pop in for a quick session with my imaginary therapist to unpack joy, reconnection, and small acts of self-care — like finally speaking up about a lumpy nail job. From hosting a Kenyan-American Thanksgiving to reflecting on friendships and emotional boundaries, this episode is all about healing in the quiet, everyday moments.
✨ Topics in this episode:
How getting my nails done became a self-worth ritual 💅
