Hosted by Dalijah Francois, Entrepreneur, Wife, Mom of two, and master of the midlife pivot, this weekly show explores the real and often hilarious truths of modern parenting. From postpartum recovery to practical sleep advice from board-certified experts, pelvic floor therapy, fatherhood, marriage, career shifts, and sex after baby, nothing is off-limits. Each week, Dalijah brings you unfiltered stories, expert insights, and honest conversations with mothers, fathers, and professionals who are helping parents find freedom and wholeness while raising kids. If you’ve ever thought, “I love my kids… but who am I now?” this podcast is for you. Because parenthood doesn’t erase you. It expands you. https://whosyourmama.captivate.fmfalseepisodicnopodcastYou don’t have to have it all figured out right now.You don’t have to have it all figured out right now.After months away, I’m back with a deeply personal solo episode.

For over ten years, I built businesses, hosted retreats around the world, and thrived on being needed. When those chapters ended, I struggled with silence, burnout, and the fear of losing my identity.

In this episode, I share how closing Black Girls Pole nearly broke me, why I rushed into creating again before I was ready, and how postpartum burnout forced me to finally sit down and listen to my body.

I talk openly about outgrowing success, learning to rest without guilt, and why your worth doesn’t disappear when you pause. If you’re navigating change, burnout, or a season of “what now?” you are not alone my friend!

This episode is a reminder that resting is not quitting.
