Off My Chest - Conversations We Can't Stop Replaying

Off My Chest - Conversations We Can't Stop Replaying

We’ve all had conversations that won’t leave us alone. The ones we wish had gone differently. The ones that left us second-guessing. Off My Chest is about those messy, unfinished moments. Each week, host Anitra St. Hilaire shares stories about the conversations that still linger. Sometimes it’s the one you wish you’d handled differently. Sometimes it’s the silence when you froze instead of speaking up. Sometimes it's someone who just treated you poorly. Unlike many relationship podcasts, this isn’t therapy, advice, or gossip. It’s short, intimate storytelling that offers recognition (I’ve been there too), reflection (why do I carry this?), and release (maybe I don’t have to anymore). The goal isn’t to fix the past, but to name it, share it, and let some of the weight go.
