Background

Salisha is officially a mother. Baby Ajax is here!

And somehow… seven days after giving birth, she stepped onto the stage at Radio City Music Hall to sing Never Enough in Hugh Jackman’s show From New York, With Love.

And yes… she made it.

In this episode, Salisha shares:
• What the week between labor and Radio City actually looked like
• The emotional reality of recovering postpartum while preparing for one of the biggest moments of her career
• The prayer she prayed years ago and how it manifested in a way she never expected
• Why this year completely changed her perspective on what is possible
• What she hopes her son will one day understand about this chapter of her life
• The reminder that your dreams do not have to disappear just because your life changes

This episode is about motherhood, resilience, trusting yourself, and allowing life to surprise you in ways bigger than you planned for.
