Say It Straight Sessions with TLC
Some conversations make you laugh. Some make you uncomfortable.
The best ones make you feel understood.
Welcome to Say It Straight Sessions with TLC, where Tonichi Achurra-Parekh, Larah Diaz-Sta. Maria, and Claire Sommereux-Alfonso talk about the realities women rarely admit out loud from navigating leadership and ambition to relationships, boundaries, identity, and everything in between.
These aren't conversations reserved for CEOs or women who've "made it." They're for every woman who's ever questioned herself, felt stretched too thin, celebrated a win that somehow still felt lonely, or wondered if she's the only one figuring it out as she goes.
With honesty, humor, and perspective earned through experience, every episode feels like sitting down with the friends who tell you the truth, remind you you're not alone, and somehow leave you lighter than when you arrived.
Because life doesn't come with all the answers.
But it gets a little easier when someone says it straight.
