Carlacia Grant: Brave Enough To Surrender

In this week's episode, Tay sits down with actress Carlacia Grant! Carlacia opens up about her feelings wrapping Netflix’s Outer Banks and the emotional letdown that came with it, what she's excited for fans to see in the final season, and what her character Cleo has taught her over the years. She shares what she's most proud of from being part of the show, including what it has meant to her playing such a prominent role and to be a role model for other young Black women. Carlacia gets candid about how she's kept her mental and emotional routines intact as her life has become bigger and busier, what she does to unwind and take care of herself, and where her resilience comes from. She also reflects on what it means to surrender in this season of life, including learning to let go of control. Carlacia bravely opens up about experiencing a significant loss that ultimately led her to therapy, how that experience changed the way she approaches taking care of herself, and the biggest thing she's taken away from the process. She also shares advice for anyone scared to start therapy, her journaling techniques, the signs her body gives her when it's time to slow down, and one tool from her own toolkit that listeners can incorporate into their own lives.
