The ladder may be broken, but Black women are building launchpads. Pink Parachute Diaries is the unapologetic podcast for ambitious sisters who’ve been handed pink slips instead of golden parachutes—and decided to fly anyway. Hosted by E.R. Spaulding, powerhouse behind BlackWoman Startup, each week spotlights fearless trailblazers rewriting the rules of career, power, and purpose. From C-suite leaders who walked away from toxic boardrooms to creatives turning side hustles into full-blown empires, these are the stories behind the pivots, the passion, and the quiet power moves. You’ll get real-talk strategy, behind-the-scenes lessons, and bold confessions about the climb, the crash, and the comeback. Expect smart side-eye, belly laughs, and wisdom you can actually use—because your next move deserves more than motivational fluff. The vibe? Grounded, grown, and game-changing. These diaries are a reckoning—and a rally cry. Press play and pack your parachute, Sis. We’re not falling—we’re flying.

This episode explores how shifting from shame-based questions to trauma-informed conversations can transform addiction recovery for women. Inspired by Candiace Brown-Pulliam’s groundbreaking work, we examine why understanding the root causes of addiction—rather than just the symptoms—leads to more effective healing. Hear real stories of resilience, discover how trauma-informed approaches are revolutionizing treatment and business programs, and learn why asking “what happened to you?” is the key to lasting recovery and restored dignity.
