About this episode

Caycie shares her experiences of caregiving and finding humor in life's challenges during a candid conversation with Marcella and Sharon.

In this heart-to-heart episode of Wake Her Up , we sit down with Caycie — the hilarious and deeply honest creator behind @black_belt_in_mom on TikTok. As two midlife women navigating perimenopause, we connected instantly with her raw stories of caretaking for her mom in a nursing home, juggling life’s chaos, and still finding moments to laugh through it all. Caycie opens up about her “crash outs” — those moments when everything feels like too much — and how humor, honesty, and her life motto, “have some grace,” keep her grounded. This is real talk, girlfriend to girlfriend — the kind of conversation that reminds you that you’re not alone, even when life feels heavy. Tune in for a dose of laughter, hope, and solidarity. Because yes — there are still friends to be found, your body can feel good again, and crashing out will not kill you. ✨ Listen now for connection, compassion, and a few good laughs along the way.
