Welcome to the season finale of the Wake Up Happy, Sis! Show, where we don’t just talk about healing—we live it out loud. In this soul-shaking episode, LeAnne Dolce and co-host Sharonda Sealey (joined by Dr. Paulette Clark) pull back the curtain on what it really means to choose yourself—unapologetically, boldly, and without guilt. This summer isn’t about fake joy, filtered vacations, or another to-do list. It’s about alignment, ease, and giving yourself the radical permission to rest, glow, and say YES to a life that actually feels good.
We’re talking empty-nester blues, burnout masked as resilience, and the quiet toll of being everyone’s rock while silently crumbling inside. If you’re exhausted from being the strong one, Sis—this episode is your personal permission slip to stop surviving and start thriving.
You’ll hear real talk about boundaries, softness as sacred rebellion, and why your nervous system deserves peace—not pressure. Plus, we break down the emotional controversy between B. Simone and her bestie, highlighting the hard truths about friendship, support, and choosing YOU even when it’s not popular.
✨ Your Summer of YES starts now.
Tune in, tap in, and get ready to be your own damn peace.
Affirmation:I choose joy. I choose softness. I choose peace. This summer—I choose ME.
