About this listen
In this episode, we get real about how the childhoods we didn't choose ended up shaping the women we are today.
Kelsi opens up about growing up in Georgia with no real family support system — just her mom and sisters — and how that isolation showed up in adulthood. Meanwhile, Janai shares what it was like being surrounded by cousins, a full village, and how that shaped her confidence and identity.
We also dive into the dreams we had as kids, the dreams our parents shut down, and the dreams we're finally coming back to now. From acting and theatre to family pressure and "realistic" expectations… this one gets personal.
If you've ever felt like your upbringing put you on a path you didn't ask for, this episode is for you.
