This week I’m talking about the Mariah the Scientist & Young Thug mess all over social media. And listen, this isn’t about dragging them, it’s about pulling the lessons. From tying your whole identity to a man, to codependent “my man, my man” energy, to how being in love can blind us to disrespect… we’re breaking it all down.

✨Don't Let Fear Keep You Stuck in a Bubble!✨ "Are you walking in your purpose?" This question has been living rent-free in my mind since I turned 26! If I’m being honest, I know I’m not—and it’s time to change that. In this episode, I’m getting real and vulnerable as I share my second quarter-life crisis and what it’s like to navigate this new chapter of my life. For me, this means releasing what no longer serves me and making space for something greater. Spoiler alert: it’s terrifying! But life is too short to stay on a path that doesn’t align with who you’re meant to be. Sometimes, stepping into your purpose requires doing things you’ve never done to achieve things you’ve never had. Today, we’re unpacking what it means to walk in your purpose, trust God’s plan, lean into your unique talents, let go of control, and heal from the anxiety that’s holding you back. Enjoy🫶🏽. .
