Bloom How You Must

podcast October 5, 2025


Background
share close

In this week’s episode, Pamela opens her heart about what it truly means to choose yourself — even when that choice goes against expectations. Inspired by her story featured in Tara Jefferson’s upcoming book Bloom How You Must, this episode is about reclaiming your peace, rewriting the rules of self-worth, and learning to bloom unapologetically in your own time and way.

Pamela shares how choosing herself first became the foundation for her personal reset — and how every woman deserves the same freedom. This is a conversation for every woman who’s ever poured into everyone else and realized she left nothing for herself.

Because choosing you isn’t selfish — it’s sacred.
