So much of what you need can be found within, but ambition has to find you working. Just ask Emma Grede, one of today's most influential and highly accomplished self-made women. Seemingly born rogue and unbothered by the rules, she and Sarah Jakes Roberts peel back the layers of how an East London upbringing taught her to move in truth, no matter the room. And let's not romanticize the process, sis. You'll face unenjoyable work, self-limiting beliefs that aren't yours, and emotions that take advantage of your patterns. But our girl Emma made it clear. It's the prerogative of a woman to look after herself. So start where it matters most—start with yourself and pre-order a copy of her book today!

In this deeply personal and compelling conversation, Sarah Jakes Roberts sits down with Academy Award–winning actress Lupita Nyong'o to shed light on a reality that far too many women endure in silence—living with uterine fibroids. These noncancerous tumors affect up to 80% of women and disproportionately impact Black women, yet they remain largely understudied. After facing this diagnosis herself, Lupita became a catalyst for advocacy, launching the Make Fibroids Count campaign to advance awareness and support research into less invasive treatment options. This episode underscores the critical truth that women deserve access to comprehensive medical resources, informed care, and a future in which our health is addressed with the urgency and seriousness it deserves.
