Description
What happens when your heart breaks and the world keeps spinning? You show up anyway—with gratitude and fire.
On this episode of Affirm That Sh!t, Jennifer Rogers brings on the fearless, funny, and brutally honest Portia Booker. Portia walks you through the heartbreak of losing her mother, the silent war of grief, and the wild ride of choosing gratitude over victimhood. You’ll hear how she found humor in pain, saw signs from the other side, and turned her experience into a sacred mission to support others.
You’ll talk grief that doesn’t fit inside a 5-day bereavement policy. You’ll talk about why anger is not your enemy—it’s your signal flare. And most importantly, you’ll learn how to rewrite your story with gratitude at the wheel and grief riding shotgun.
You’ll explore how storytelling isn’t just a coping mechanism—it’s your inheritance. Portia will show you that your tears hold wisdom, your laughter is medicine, and your truth is your power.
Whether you’re feeling stuck in sorrow or ready to channel your pain into purpose, this episode will meet you where you are.
