  Music, Healing & Scrambled Eggs 15.08.2026 1t 5min

  Episode 17 - Almost a year after we last saw each other, Decclan and I sat down for a conversation that slowly found its way into the deepness.This episode felt different. There was no rush to arrive at a big revelation or perfectly packaged takeaway. Just two friends reconnecting, catching up, and allowing the conversation to unfold; an invitation to slow down, be present, and simply listen.We talk about music, poetry, healing, friendship, and the ways we make sense of the things we sometimes struggle to put into words. For Djorn B (check out his stuff!), music has become a way to express what he can't always say, to turn feelings and lived experiences into something tangible, and to face the difficult parts of life with a little less resistance.Because it's easy to get consumed by sadness. It's easy to isolate and convince ourselves that we have to navigate everything alone. But sometimes, creating gives us another way through and music can help us see our wounds a little more clearly.This isn't necessarily an episode about having all the answers. It's about nowness. About reconnecting. About outgrowing the need to constantly be seen. And about making space to feel, create, and simply exist.And somewhere in all of that deepness, we somehow still managed to talk about food, scrambled eggs, and whether roti and egg is actually a thing!

  Keep Going 01.08.2026 16min

  Episode 16 - On August 1st 2025, I packed my bags, left Trinidad and Tobago, and began a new chapter abroad. Today, exactly one year later, I'm recording this reflection from home, looking back on a year that has changed me in more ways than I ever imagined.Episode 13 reminded me why I started the Seasons of Us and what it means to create a space where people simply feel heard. In Episode 14, Hillary invited us into her journey from Puerto Rico to Philadelphia, reminding us that curiosity often leads us where comfort never could. Then came an unexpected email from California, and in Episode 15, Dr. Megan Kamath shared a conversation that reminded us to care for the things that take care of us.Looking back, I'm filled with gratitude. Grateful. Thankful. Blessed. This journey has affirmed that stories have a way of finding the people they're meant to reach. And if there's one reminder I'm taking into the next season, it's this: keep going.

  At the Heart of it All 18.07.2026 55min

  Episode 15 - What does it really mean to care for yourself and for others? This week, I'm joined by Dr. Megan Kamath, an Advanced Heart Failure and Transplant Cardiologist, educator, mentor, trauma-informed coach, published author, and poet. After discovering Seasons of Us as a listener, Megan reached out from California believing our stories were meant to intersect. Now we get to share hers!Together, we explore "the body remembers," the importance of taking care of the things that take care of you, and how healing begins by meeting people where they are with curiosity, compassion, and without judgment. From her childhood dream of becoming a physician to becoming the author of Resilient Cadence, Megan reflects on the humanity behind medicine, the stories we all carry, and the power of truly listening.Beyond the white coat, we talk about baking, music, gardening, her current season of giving, and she closes the episode by reading one of her original poems. A conversation about the heart... in every sense of the word.

  Curiosity Over Comfort 04.07.2026 55min

  Episode 14 - What happens when life forces a planner to become an explorer? Fresh into her "thirty, flirty... and actually 31" era, Hillary reflects on leaving behind a four-year relationship, packing up her life in Florida, and moving to Philadelphia without knowing a soul. From childhood memories of wandering the mountainsides of Puerto Rico to exploring the beauty of religious architecture, navigating racism, debating pineapple on pizza, and eating cold leftovers straight from the fridge, our conversation moves effortlessly between laughter and reflection. Together, we celebrate the joy of discovering yourself beyond the plans you once held, and explore the courage it takes to take up space while finding the freedom to wander. Oh, and seriously... what's up with those sweet beans?!

  Halfway Point: The Gift of Being Heard 20.06.2026 22min

  Episode 13 - It's hard to believe we're already at the halfway point of the first season of Seasons of Us!As I celebrate my birthday month and prepare to turn 26, I've found myself reflecting not only on the past year of life, but also on what these thirteen episodes have taught me. When I started this podcast, I thought it might be about using my voice. Instead, it has become an exercise in listening.One of the things that makes Seasons of Us unique is that guests are never given questions beforehand. Every conversation begins with trust and unfolds in real time, creating space for authenticity, vulnerability, and the unexpected. Over the past thirteen episodes, people have generously shared their joys, struggles, hopes, questions, and everyday realities.At this halfway point, I'm reflecting on the gift of being heard, the responsibility of holding another person's story, and what it means to create space for ordinary lives to be seen as extraordinary.Whether you've been listening since Episode 1 or are just joining the journey, thank you for being part of this community. This episode is an invitation not just to listen to these conversations, but to listen to the season you're in.

  Maybe It's Time to Rest (Actually) 06.06.2026 15min

  Episode 12 - If I had a dollar for every time I said the phrase “the body remembers” during this episode, I'd probably be able to buy myself a nice nap! But it’s true.June hasn't quite started the way I expected it would. I thought it would be a month of excitement, celebration, and summer plans. Instead, it has become a month of reflection, slowing down, and paying attention to what I am carrying.Seasonal Reflections are here again and we're taking notes from our previous guests, learning that ambition comes at a cost, that saying no can be an act of self-respect, and that living might actually mean slowing down long enough to enjoy the life we're working so hard to build.Did you hear that, J'Lani?! Maybe the body remembers but maybe it also knows when it's time to rest.

  At What Point Do We Start Living? 23.05.2026 59min

  Episode 11 - This homegirl is convinced she’s the funniest one in the bunch... but you know what... let us leave her to think that!From caper debates and fighting Oreo allegations to unpacking Irish reflections about emotions (you're gonna love this!), language, and identity, this episode somehow becomes a conversation about what it means to fully lean into yourself. Breyia and I talk confidence, boundaries, family, media, womanhood, and the versions of ourselves we suppress just to fit comfortably around others.Because eventually, you realise you can only hide parts of yourself for so long. At some point, you have to stop preparing for life and actually live it. Also... so close yet no cigar??? Let's unpack that because I think the jury's still out on that one...

  Some Nights Are Gonna Cost You 09.05.2026 53min

  Episode 10 - Five years after meeting through an unexpected situation at a birthday party, my friend Justin and I reflect on friendship, growth, and what it'sike living in New York (it ain't what you think!). From Trinidad roots to career growth, Fashion Week, and moving up quickly at work, we talk ambition and identity in real time. We also get into how a family experience with alcohol struggles also shaped his resilience and drive to build a better future. Beyond the highlights, this is about slowing down, saying no to constant going out, and realising that busy isn’t always better... even if it means staying in and actually enjoying the rent you’re paying. And oh somewhere in the mix of it all, we end up on the topic of monsoon season.. let's hear how!

One long overdue catch-up!From almost throwing out his back catching the smallest fish on the beach… to a car ride with his dad that quietly set his whole life in motion. My friend Liam and I reconnect after years apart and talk growing up thinking suffering equals worth, and unlearning that mindset. We get into what it means to find God while being away from home and how his joy for photography is turning everyday moments into a contemplation upon flowers, seeing the world through his eyes and what we leave behind.Also… how y’all feel about feet?? (sorry LeBron James) Tune in to see how we even got there… and why the colour blue is so important.

  Episode 4 - As we listen to the song Sacred Silence, may we come to discover what love is or maybe Who Love is. We introduce a new segment to the pod, Seasonal Reflections, with the hope to not recap or repeat what has been shared, but to enter more deeply into what others' lives might be saying to us. I have been able to hear and see how I am being called to get up and act, say yes and ask myself, "Why not me?"

My aunt, Denise De Four, and I, reflect on time, relationships, and finances, and how they intersect across our lives. From learning not to compartmentalise ourselves to recognising our giftedness and using our voices, this conversation centers on accepting what we cannot change, having the courage to change what we can, and gaining the wisdom to know the difference.
