We’re talking all about the village—the people who hold us down through family, life, and everything in between. From raising kids to chasing dreams, having a solid support system is essential—and this episode breaks down why.
Alana gets personal and shares the hilarious (and slightly awkward 😅) story of how her dad found out she was pregnant, while Key opens up about the external expectations to be pregnant at an early age. Whew, the expectations be loud!
We dive into the beauty and complexity of building your village, setting boundaries, and redefining what support really looks like as grown women navigating life, motherhood, and purpose.
