Recovering People Pleaser: Healing the Need to Be Liked with Brittney Moses
Nov 301:05:13Tap to summarizeIn this episode, I sit down with the incredible Brittney Moses — a women’s coach and mental health content creator — to talk about something most of us struggle with but rarely name out loud: people-pleasing and self-abandonment.We went deep into how women, especially Black women, are taught to carry everyone else’s load and call it strength — even when it’s slowly breaking us down. Brittney opened my eyes to the “fawn response,” a trauma reaction where we make ourselves small to feel safe. That hit home for me because I’ve been there — walking on eggshells, avoiding conflict, thinking silence kept the peace when it really just kept me stuck.We talked about the guilt that comes with saying no, how to rebuild self-trust after years of ignoring your intuition, and what it means to live beyond society’s checkboxes — those invisible rules about when to marry, have kids, or “be successful.” Brittney's story of becoming a teen mom, going back to UCLA, remarrying later in life, and defining success on her own terms reminded me that God’s timeline is never off — it’s divine.Please leave a review , if this episode spoke to you!

Legacy Over Likes: My Conversation with Carey
Oct 2701:17:00Tap to summarizeIn this episode, I sit down with my longtime friend and creator Carey, and we get real about what it means to chase dreams, lose yourself, and find purpose again. This conversation took me back to our early content days in 2016, filming skits in garages and laughing our way through the struggle — only now, we’re unpacking what was really happening behind those smiles.Carey opened up about the hidden battles behind the comedy — sleeping on floors, losing his identity, rebuilding his faith, and realizing that legacy matters more than likes. What hit me most was when he said, “I lost my identity trying to be what my fans wanted me to be.” That line stopped me. Because haven’t we all been there — letting other people’s expectations rewrite who we are?We talked about money, faith, ego, and what it takes to build a creative life that’s rooted in truth instead of image. And somewhere between the laughter and tears, we both realized: the real flex isn’t fame. It’s peace.Please leave a review , if this episode spoke to you!

Healing Through Design: Faith, Loss, and Rebuilding with Jameelah Divine
Oct 2001:19:04Tap to summarizeIn this episode, I sit down with my friend and interior designer Jameelah Divine, whose story left me speechless. We started by talking about creating peaceful spaces through design—but it quickly became so much more. Jamila opened up about losing her daughter, rebuilding her life after heartbreak and trauma, and finding God again through unimaginable pain. She shared how she created “The Case Method”—a way to design both your home and your life with intention, clarity, and faith.What really hit me was her story about her husband’s near-death experience—a moment that tested her faith like never before—and how she found peace in surrendering to God’s plan, even when she didn’t understand it. This episode reminded me that healing isn’t linear, and that peace doesn’t come from perfection—it’s something we cultivate, step by step, with faith and purpose.If this conversation touched your heart, please subscribe, rate, and share the show with someone who needs encouragement today.

Authentic Faith: Wild & Free with Jalyka
Oct 1301:26:01Tap to summarizeOn this episode of Let’s Try This Again, I sit down with Jalyka —a true creative, singer, and trailblazer—who radiates authenticity both online and in person. We talk about stepping into a new era, owning our uniqueness, and boldly loving God even when it’s countercultural. From being homeschooled and learning to grow “wild and free,” to facing criticism about modesty and body image as a Christian influencer, Jalyka shares how she navigates conviction versus shame, and how faith, contentment, and gratitude transformed her journey. We get into the struggles with procrastination, stepping into obedience, and why “growing in public” is a calling instead of a choice. Whether we’re laughing about DIY nails or getting real on spiritual growth, this episode is filled with gems for anyone who sometimes feels out of place or uncertain.Please leave a review , if this episode spoke to you!

More Than a Size: Ella Halikas on Family, Grief, and Self-Love
Oct 601:16:32Tap to summarizeThis week on Let’s Try This Again, I sit down with the amazing Ella Halikas for one of the most openhearted conversations yet. We dive deep into childhood resilience, the impact of family trauma, body confidence, and fighting to love ourselves beyond what the world wants us to be. Ella gets real about navigating her parents’ brutal divorce, losing her brother to addiction, and how being the “fixer” as a child shaped her healing journey. We laugh about crazy family moments, get honest about dealing with internet trolls, and uplift those who feel pressure to fit in. Through every twist—therapy breakthroughs, plus-size modeling setbacks, and letting go of the “B. Simone” persona—I’m reminded that our stories matter, not just for us but for everyone walking a similar path. No matter what season you’re in, this episode reminds you: your pain, joy, and growth are all valid, and you never have to walk it alone.Please leave a review , if this episode spoke to you!

All In: Family, Faith & Fresh Starts with Dannella, Dajeul and Dayla
Sep 2901:09:34Tap to summarizeThis week on Let’s Try This Again, I open up about faith, family, and trusting the journey with the amazing Dannella and her two powerhouse daughters, Dajeul and Dayla. We get real about life’s pivots—from leaving Mississippi in the wake of a tough divorce, to a viral Instagram video that changed everything, and the wild road trip that landed them in LA with nothing but faith, family, and a tiny U-Haul. I share how I navigated heartbreak, the ache of losing my mother, and building a relationship with God through doubt, setbacks, and unexpected blessings. Dannella shares wisdom from opening her new beauty salon, while her daughters talk about adulthood, sacrifice, and how staying honest with yourself is the real graduation. Through tears, laughter, and a little bit of church revival joy, this episode is a reminder that miracles happen in the messy middle—and that God’s not done with any of us yet.Please leave a review , if this episode spoke to you!
