From concert recaps and case studies to raw reflections and life lessons, Neeta brings her full self to the mic: unfiltered, unshaken, and unapologetically evolving.
This isn’t just storytelling—it’s reclamation. A reminder that your voice still matters, your growth still counts, and your story isn’t over.
🎧 New episodes every week through the lens of someone who’s been there, came back, and chose herself—louder, freer, and on purpose.

Picky eaters? Food allergies? Everyone wanting something different to eat? Let's face it, family mealtime can be very a frustrating and stressful time for the entire family. However, family mealtimes do not have to be stressful at all. Registered Dietitian Ahuva Hershkop is here to help us make family meal easy again.
As a Registered Dietitian and mom of two (twins) Ahuva knows that many families struggle with meal time. From picky eating, to severely restricted diets related to the diagnosis of ASD, to maintaining healthy growth while on speciality diets- feeding our kids is HARD.
Ahuva believes that while there are SO many challenges associated with parenting, meal time should never be one of them. She loves working with families to turn meal time tears into smiles and bring back the joy of meal time!
In this episode, Ahuva gets real about the struggles she faced after giving birth to her twins and the lessons she's learned about family time and meals as a result of being a mom of twins with two extremely different personalities and tastes in food.
What we learn in this episode:
- How families can navigate through mealtime struggles
- Why you shouldn't be asking "What kind of mother am I?"
- How it's okay not to "manage" it all

More Than A Mother introduces “More To Her Story”. Highlighting the life journeys of moms who are winning in life and motherhood. Today’s guest, Marteekah, shares with us her journey from teen mom to plus-size beauty enthusiast.
What we learn in this episode:
- What happens when life throws you obstacles and plans change
- How to beat the odds and achieve her goals
- How to navigate mom guilt
- The importance of “me time”
Mentioned in this episode:
Forest App- Stay focused & Be productive
About Marteekah
After spending over twenty years functioning in retail sales for Fortune 500 companies and
later becoming an educator servicing public schools in New York City, Marteekah found herself in a conundrum. While helping customers express their inner selves with their styling choices and teaching children in her community was gratifying it was not fulfilling. She took to social media to promote body positivity and show women that they could look good at any size on any budget utilizing the styling and makeup skills she had been honing independently. By virtue of sheer will and the help of a savvy and God-fearing business coach, she is now serving a community of women who have been left unseen for far too long.
Marteekah is also the host of a freshly launched podcast about love and makeup. Releasing bi-weekly episodes where she takes up the complexities of relationships while discussing the latest in beauty trends
You can connect with Marteekah on Instagram or her website. Also check out her podcast- Love & Makeup by Marteekah.
