I am delighted and so thrilled to share this next guest with you. Today I’m hosting my dear friend and SPARK baby, Te’Aja McCoy! We discuss the SPARK retreat & the benefits of deep emotional connection, the loneliness we experience in college (and relying on connection for our survival), the hoops she had to jump through to make college a reality for herself, and how Te’Aja got a full ride to 22 colleges and universities!

Te’Aja talks about the inseparable bond she shares with her grandfather, what it’s been like to be away from him since being in school, and the difficult reckoning that comes with losing loved ones. This episode stands out as a favorite for me because of Te’Aja’s incredible storytelling, and it’s definitely one you don’t want to miss. I love y’all! And I’ll be talking to you soon, bye for now.
