It is my pleasure and delight to present to you, MY NEW THEME SONG!!! Huge shout out to @niaelisemusic, @tha_mad_scientist, and @martenmadeit_ (all on Instagram) for producing, vocalizing, and engineering this work of art. Thank you for being part of my community and journey. Enjoy listeners!

Jackie Luster is a twice retired Army Veteran and Government Service employee with over 40 years of total service. She joins us to talk about navigating life in the military, enjoying retirement, and why working at a funeral home was her wake up call. 

A behind-the-scenes look at how I ended up launching Too Much to Type with the help of ChatGPT and how it became part of my creative team. 

How do you manage the balance between love, individuality, and ambition? What happens when the drive to "have it all" clashes with the dynamics of a relationship? Join me as I talk about the cost of compromise, the boundaries we set (or don't), and how to stay true to yourself when your dream life demands more than you expected. Tune in for honest reflections, unexpected insights, and a few things you probably didn't see coming but it's Too Much to Type!

Hello friends and welcome to the Too Much to Type Podcast! You're gonna be glad you came, I know you'll want to stay...

On this episode we have the pleasure of sitting with our first guest, Ms. Nia Elise. She is a neo-soul singer and songwriter whose music blends elements of R&B, jazz, and hip-hop to tell stories of love, empowerment, and transformation. She's the founder of Melanin Dreams LLC, an independent music and creative brand built to inspire and eventually mentor at-risk youth through music and self-expression. Her latest EP Liberated, released in January 2025, explores personal freedom and emotional growth. 

Tabitha is a dedicated single mother whose strength, discipline, and heart have been shaped by over 20 years of experience in healthcare. Her journey has taught her compassion, patience, and the ability to hold others through their most vulnerable moments. She is a natural caretaker—not just in her profession, but in her spirit.

A lifelong learner, she thrives on exploring new ideas, expanding her knowledge, and continually elevating herself. Whether it’s personal growth, spirituality, business, or understanding the deeper layers of life, she approaches everything with curiosity and intention.
