This episode starts with an apology.
Not the dramatic kind. The honest kind.
In this episode of This Isn’t That, I’m breaking the silence and telling the truth about where I’ve been, why I went quiet, and what it means to take responsibility without self-shaming. From resetting expectations to showing up imperfectly, this is a real-time reset, not a polished comeback.
I’m also sharing a deeply personal story about driving eleven hours from South Carolina to Michigan in the middle of winter to see my kids while navigating the emotional weight of separation, custody battles, and the ache that never quite leaves a mother’s body. What started as a clear, peaceful drive turned into a snow-covered reminder that healing, motherhood, and rebuilding don’t follow straight lines.
This episode is about breakdowns in gas station parking lots.
About doing hard things scared.
About asking for help without meaning to.
About realizing that slow progress still counts.
If you’ve been carrying a lot quietly, feeling behind, or trying to keep moving through conditions that feel unfair, this conversation is for you. You’re not failing. You’re navigating. And sometimes staying on the road is the bravest thing you can do.
We’re resetting.
We’re showing up honestly.
And we’re moving forward, slow and steady.
This isn’t that.
