Virago 24/7 is a podcast for women who are done shrinking. I’m your host, Lyanette Talley—mother, wife, truth-teller, and warrior in progress. Here is where we unlearn silence, honor our roots, and reclaim our voices. We talk real life—identity, marriage, motherhood, leadership, and healing—with boldness and truth. If you’ve ever been told you’re too loud, too much, or too ambitious... You’re exactly where you need to be. This is everyday growth. Everyday healing. For everyday warriors. We’re not shrinking. We’re taking up space.
