Why You’re Not “Just Angry”: The Hidden Emotion Underneath | Mid Week Tease
This week on the Midweek Tease, Adelle unpacks one of the most misunderstood emotional patterns: how fear often disguises itself as anger. Rooted in psychology and the lived experiences of African women, this episode explores why we react the way we do, what’s happening in the brain and nervous system, and how to understand the emotions hiding beneath anger. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why anger is often a secondary emotion How fear, shame, overwhelm, and hurt drive our reactions The “Fight Response” and what it means for your mental health How childhood, culture, trauma, and pressure shape our emotional patterns The four faces of anger and how they show up in relationships Simple psychology-backed tools to regulate anger with compassion How to identify what you really need in heated moments It’s a soft, grounding episode for anyone who has snapped, shut down, withdrawn, or felt overwhelmed and later wondered, “Where did that come from?” If this resonates, share it with another woman who needs permission to feel without shame.

Redefining Ambition: From Hustle to Harmony | Mid Week Tease
As the year winds down, many of us are running on fumes, juggling deadlines, expectations, and the pressure to “finish strong.” But what if success didn’t have to come with exhaustion? What if ambition could feel soft, steady, and nourishing? This week on The Mid Week Tease, Adelle explores how to redefine ambition, moving away from hustle culture and into harmony. It’s a reflective conversation about ambition that honors wellness, rest, and purpose without guilt. In this episode, Adelle shares: - The myth of hustle culture and how it silently shapes our self-worth - How burnout has become an identity — and why that’s dangerous - What ambition looks like when you center peace instead of performance - Practical ways to build dreams that don’t drain you As we reach the end of the year, this is your reminder that you don’t need to prove your worth through exhaustion. You can still be ambitious and rested. Driven and grounded. Focused and free. Join the conversation: How are you redefining ambition for yourself this season? What does success feel like when peace becomes part of it? LINKS: ✨ Newsletter signup: 📱 Instagram: 🎵 TikTok: ▶️ YouTube: 📝 Story submission form:

When You Feel Behind in Life (You’re Not Late, You’re Right on Time) | Mid Week Tease
This week on The Mid Week Tease, Adelle unpacks a quiet but familiar feeling, that sense that everyone else is moving faster than you. You know it, the comparison, the “shoulds,” the sinking thought that maybe you’ve missed your moment. In this episode, Adelle explores timeline anxiety, how it shows up, why we experience it, and how to soften it with truth and self-compassion. In this episode, she shares: Why “life timelines” are myths we inherit, not truths we must follow How comparison culture disconnects us from our own rhythm Why growth isn’t linear, it loops, pauses, and redirects How to redefine success on your terms This is your reminder that healing, purpose, and success are not races they’re rhythms. And you can’t be behind on a path that’s uniquely yours. LINKS: ✨ Newsletter signup: 📱 Instagram: 🎵 TikTok: ▶️ YouTube: 📝 Story submission form:

Surviving the Scroll & Staying Human | Mid Week Tease
Social media has become part of our daily lives but it’s also quietly changing us. The endless scroll, the outrage-driven posts, the comparison traps… all of it can keep us in survival mode: tense, reactive, judgmental, and even less empathetic. In this episode of Mid-Week Tease, Adelle unpacks what survival mode actually feels like, the racing heart, the late-night doom-scroll, the sense of always being “behind” and explains how algorithms profit from keeping us there. But it’s not all bad news. You’ll also learn practical ways to use social media without losing your humanity: from pausing before reacting to creating no-scroll zones and practicing digital sabbaths. If you’ve ever wondered why scrolling leaves you more drained than inspired, this episode is for you. Resources Mentioned: Brady et al. (2017, PNAS): Outrage spreads faster online. Kramer et al.

Why Women Judge Themselves And Each Other | Mid Week Tease
In this Mid-Week Tease, Adelle dives into the hidden ways internalized shame limits women and how it often makes us judge each other too. Shame is sneaky; it feels personal, but really it’s society’s voice living inside of us. Adelle shares how shame silences us, shrinks us, disconnects us from others, and even makes us police other women. And drawing from Brené Brown’s research, Adelle unpacks what shame resilience looks like and how we can start reclaiming our power with awareness, compassion, and connection. Reflection prompts in this episode: What rules do you live by that you never actually chose? Where do you notice shame making you smaller? When do you catch yourself judging other women and what does it reveal about your own shame? What’s one area of your life where you want to practice shame resilience? Let’s talk about it.
