Growing older is not just about gaining wisdom, it’s about unlearning the things that were never ours to carry.
In this Season 2 finale, Pam and Uju sit down to reflect on the beliefs, habits, and cultural expectations they’ve carried for years and the intentional journey of unlearning they’ve stepped into in their 40s.
From ideas shaped by African culture, childhood, society, and religion to the subtle pressures placed on women, mothers, and Black women in particular, this episode is a vulnerable and empowering exploration of release, renewal, and re-alignment.
As mothers, Pam and Uju also discuss the mindsets and patterns they refuse to pass on to the next generation, choosing instead to embrace healing, self-awareness and growth.
💬 In this episode, we talk about:
The beliefs we inherited from culture, family, society — and why they no longer serve us
The freedom of unlearning in your 40s
Motherhood and breaking generational patterns
Releasing guilt, timelines, expectations and “superwoman” narratives
Choosing authenticity over performance
What healing actually looks like in real life
This finale is for anyone who is ready to grow, evolve, and rewrite the stories they once lived by.
