21 MAR 2026 · The Black Effect Presents... Checking In! On this heartfelt solo episode of Checking In, Michelle Williams gets real about what it means to be brave in a world that feels heavy. From celebrating wins while acknowledging global unrest… to processing disappointment after the Grammy Awards… Michelle opens up about the tension of being grateful and grieving at the same time. Two things can be true: you can thrive personally while the world feels chaotic. She shares behind-the-scenes moments from performing at Campbell Hall, attending an intimate dinner hosted by Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland, and reflecting on loss, legacy, and perseverance. She also speaks candidly about missing a Grammy win to Buena Vista Social Club—and how to handle disappointment without letting it define you.See https://omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

21 JAN 2026 · What if the things you’ve been told are “your issues” are actually justified reactions to the world around you? In this powerful conversation, Michelle sits down with licensed clinical psychologist Dr. Raquel Martin to unpack boundaries, burnout, Black Superwoman syndrome, and what liberation psychology teaches us about healing beyond the individual. Together, they explore why strength can become a cage, how community is our greatest mental health resource, and why some behaviors once saved us — even if they no longer serve us. From redefining imposter syndrome to burning the cape, this episode challenges the way we talk about mental health, power, and survival. It’s honest, funny, deeply affirming, and necessary. If you’ve ever felt exhausted by being strong, unseen in healing spaces, or pressured to carry everything alone — this conversation is for you.See https://omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Together, they explore what it means to clean internal debris, confront unhealed pain, release inherited trauma, and stop carrying what was never ours to hold. Iyanla breaks down why awareness, honesty, boundaries, grief, and personal responsibility are essential to true healing — and why love sometimes means speaking truth, even to family. From relationships and generational patterns to faith, fear, self-worth, and forgiveness, this episode is a reminder that healing is not about perfection — it’s about courage, compassion, and daily practice. This conversation isn’t just something you listen to — it’s something you sit with.See https://omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
