On this episode of Breaking the Silence, we celebrate “A Timeless Flame: 20+ Years of Love,” honoring the veterans of romance and exploring what Valentine’s Day looks like for couples married 20, 30, or even 50 years. Moving past the “new love” hype, the conversation focuses on deep, seasoned romance, redefining effort, rekindling the spark, meaningful gifts, and why “Time” becomes the most precious gift after decades together.

Then in our deep dive, “Life After Over-Explaining,” we unpack the liberation that comes when a woman stops providing a footnote for every decision. From the “Justification Reflex” to the power of the “Full Stop,” this conversation highlights the confidence shift that happens when you stop defending your life and start just living it.

Plus, in honor of Black History Month, we spotlight Dr. Anna Julia Cooper. From earning her doctorate at 66 at the Sorbonne to her words featured in the American passport, discover why her legacy continues to travel the world every day.

Love, confidence, and legacy—this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.
