What if the reason you keep sabotaging your big moments isn’t a lack of talent or preparation… but a nervous system that still thinks success isn’t safe?

In this deeply personal and confessional episode, Darnell shares the true story of booking a major commercial—only to spiral the night before and show up as a version of himself that wasn’t ready. What looked like self-confidence was actually survival mode in disguise.

Through honest storytelling and soulful reflection, this episode explores how unhealed trauma can hijack even our most beautiful opportunities—and how coming home to our bodies is the first step toward lasting peace.

If you’ve ever backed out, spiraled, or shut down just when things were going right… this one’s for you.

Because sometimes, your nervous system doesn’t need more hustle.

It just needs a hug.
