Danielle To You 's Podcast
I’m Talkin to You, I’m Talkin to Me Too is a heartfelt podcast where I, Danielle To You, embrace the courage to be seen. Each episode offers “mirror moments”—raw, soulful reflections on my ongoing journey of healing, releasing past traumas, and rediscovering who I am. This is for Black women who’ve let pain shape their identity but are ready to gaze into their mirrors, confronting their truths with vulnerability and strength. With a direct, empathetic, and compassionate voice, I share my evolving story to inspire you to share yours, inviting you into a space where self-discovery and reflection spark profound healing. Together, we explore the power of seeing ourselves clearly and stepping boldly into who we’re becoming.
I’ve realized that if I’m not all of me, I’m nothing—done hiding in the shadows, afraid to show my full self. All my mirrors matter, infinite reflections uniting my past, present, and future into one sacred truth. As a Black woman, I stand before these mirrors, honoring every facet—wounds, triumphs, ancestral wisdom, and dreams yet to unfold—to craft a reflection that’s wholly me. I invoke Black women to reflect in all their mirrors, to embrace the old, the new, the pain, and the power, knowing it’s all you. We refuse to enter spaces dimming our light, choosing instead to break the mirror of societal distortions and celebrate the infinite layers of our existence, where vulnerability and courage intertwine to redefine our worth.
What makes this podcast unique? It’s my unfiltered bravery in laying bare my journey, creating a sacred sanctuary for Black women to reflect, release, and grow. In “mirror moments,” we shatter the lies of external narratives, weaving our stories to reflect our shared strength and ancestral resilience. This is a call to honor every dimension of our being—past, present, and future—and to craft reflections that radiate Infinite potential. Together, we build a space where our infinite mirrors liberate us, empowering us to redefine our worth as Black women. Subscribe to I’m Talkin to You, I’m Talkin to Me Too for soul-stirring conversations that inspire us to heal, shine, and embrace our true selves.

Ripping the Roots: Cutting Off My Mother, Planting New Ground
I made the hardest choice—I cut my mother off. I’ve been stuck in this cycle, aching for her support, especially now, with my kids leaving for the summer with their dad. I asked her to help this last week, but her response, demanding money and laughing it off, broke me. I’m done expecting her to be what she can’t. It’s a painful truth, but it’s mine. I see now how her roots grew into the tree of my failed marriage, my divorce, and the chaos I’ve lived through—doors slammed, holes in walls, kids outside the room hearing it all. I’m ripping those roots out, creating a blank space for me and my kids to plant something new. It’s just us now, in our apartment, our safe space, where no one’s anger controls us. I want my kids to see me happy, to feel safe, even in this unknown. I’m learning to see it as a canvas, not a dark room. I’m talking to you, but I’m talking to me too.
