If you're the strong one everyone leans on—the high-achieving woman who looks unstoppable but secretly feels exhausted, lonely, and on the edge—this episode is your wake-up call.

Pamela Michaux went from war-torn Congo to an abusive home in Belgium, to the orphanage system, to becoming a business owner, homeowner, and author of Mundele Diaries—a global memoir about turning trauma into truth, silence into voice, and shame into sovereignty. In this raw, unfiltered conversation, Pamela and I go deep into generational trauma, survival mode, and what it actually looks like to reclaim your life as a woman, leader, and mother.

We talk about:

• Growing up as "too white" in Africa and "too Black" in Europe—and the lifelong impact of never feeling like you belong

• The hidden cost of being the fixer, the caretaker, the one who never asks for help

• Panic attacks, hospital visits, and what your body is really trying to tell you when it's done carrying the load

• The "vitamin N" every woman in leadership needs: the radical power of saying no

• Why you are not a doormat—and how to stop living as if you are

• Simple, grounded practices to move from survival mode into healing, self-compassion, and aligned decisions

If you're a woman in business, healthcare, or leadership—an entrepreneur, executive, or career-driven mom—this episode will speak directly to the part of you that's tired of pretending you're fine. You'll walk away with language for your pain, permission to be human, and a vision of what becomes possible when you stop molding yourself to fit rooms that were never built for you.

This is a must-listen if you're ready to:

• Break generational patterns without breaking yourself

• Build wealth, impact, and a life you actually want to live

• Lead as the woman you really are—not the version everyone else expects
