In this episode, I sat down with the powerful and anointed Dr. Jay Barnett, and y’all… whew. This conversation went far beyond what I expected. We talked about healing, wholeness, calling, and obedience — the kind that breaks you down before it builds you back up. Dr. Jay shared how God told him to be quiet during one of the darkest public storms of his life, and how that silence became his greatest act of obedience. Hearing him say, “Obedience is best displayed when you don’t understand,” stopped me in my tracks.We got real about relationships too — why being single in purpose is harder than being lonely, why you can’t pour from an empty cup, and how discernment saves your calling. He said something that shook me: “You can’t be a whale connected to a swimming pool.” That hit home. Because I’ve been there — trying to shrink to fit what wasn’t meant for me.We also dove into what it means to move from healing to wholeness, how to protect your peace when you’re constantly pouring into others, and why it’s okay to let God be your companion while He’s preparing the right one. This episode reminded me that obedience, surrender, and alignment aren’t passive — they’re power moves.If this conversation spoke to your spirit, share it with a friend who’s walking through their own season of letting go.

Recovering People Pleaser: Healing the Need to Be Liked with Brittney Moses
In 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
In 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
In 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
On 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!
