Let's Try This Again with B. Simone

• From Setbacks to Sistas: The Real Journey with Mignon

  Welcome back to Let’s Try This Again—I’m your host, B Simone, and this episode is one of the most honest, vulnerable, and spiritually charged conversations I’ve ever had. I’m joined by the incredible Mignon, actress, creative, and all-around powerhouse, as we get real about the journey to self-acceptance, the weight of spiritual warfare, and how success often looks nothing like what we imagined. We open up about body image struggles, generational trauma, and the pressure of living up to expectations—Mignon shares how her journey with weight and self-worth began in childhood, shaped by family and early experiences of trauma, and how she’s learned to fight for her confidence and peace in an industry that’s quick to judge.We talk about what it means to “fight for everything”—from your health to your purpose—and how sometimes the biggest battles are spiritual, not physical. Mignon shares her story of living out of her car, hustling behind the scenes in Hollywood, and finally landing her breakout role on “Sistas” after years of setbacks, faith, and relentless perseverance. We dive deep into the difference between jealousy and envy, the importance of discernment, and why loving yourself (and others) through pain is the ultimate act of growth. If you’ve ever felt worn down by life, doubted your calling, or needed a reminder that your story matters, this episode is for you. Tune in for laughter, wisdom, and the kind of motivation that reminds you: you are enough, you are worthy, and you’re never alone on this journey.//SPONSORS// Skims: Shop my favorite bras and underwear at SKIMS.comLiquid IV: Squeeze the most out of your Summer with Liquid I.V.

• Romantic Wish Lists & Radical Self-Acceptance feat Shan

  Welcome back to Let’s Try This Again—I’m your host, B Simone, and this episode is all about stepping into your power, embracing honesty, and learning how to love yourself (and others) with intention. I’m joined by the brilliant Shan, a certified sexologist and relationship expert, and together we get real about confidence, self-discovery, and what it actually takes to build a life—and love—that feels authentic and fulfilling.We dive into the behind-the-scenes of my BET Awards look, but more importantly, how that moment represented a shift from “faking it till you make it” to truly feeling bold, beautiful, and confident from the inside out. Shan and I talk about the importance of knowing what you want in a partner, why your “romantic wish list” should be short and intentional, and how being honest with yourself (and others) is the foundation for real connection. I open up about my own journey—how I’ve sometimes focused on what’s missing in my love life instead of embracing the abundance that’s already here, and how I’m learning to ask for what I need, set boundaries, and trust that what’s meant for me is already on its way.We also get into the nitty-gritty of healing from toxic relationships, rebuilding confidence, and the power of surrounding yourself with people who see and celebrate the real you. Shan shares her own story of moving on from a manipulative relationship, finding love again, and why loving yourself—and being honest about your needs—is the ultimate act of self-care. If you’ve ever struggled with self-doubt, felt stuck in old patterns, or needed a reminder that you’re worthy of love just as you are, this episode is for you. Let’s keep growing, loving, and trying again—together.//Sponsor// Simply Pop: Go to https://www.coca-cola.com/us/en/brands/simply/simply-pop-podcast-tour to find out where you can try Simply Pop!BetterHelp: Our listeners get 10% off their first month at BetterHelp.com/BSIMONEPODMiami Convention and Visitors Bureau: Visit www.FindYourMiami.com See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

• Letting Go to Grow: Lessons in Friendship, Light & Resilience feat Khat

  Welcome back to Let’s Try This Again—I’m your host, B Simone, and this episode is extra special because I’m sitting down with my longtime friend and OG in the hair and beauty game, Khat. We get real about what it means to evolve, shed old skins, and keep growing—even when it feels like the world is changing around you. I open up about how my own journey of trying again—whether it’s starting a new podcast season or pivoting in business—has really been about listening to that inner voice that says, “Get up, do it again, but this time with God and the wisdom you’ve learned.”Khat and I reminisce about how we met over a decade ago, hustling in the Atlanta hair scene, and how we’ve both stayed connected by committing to growth, even when it meant letting go of people or situations that no longer served us. We talk about the guilt that comes with outgrowing relationships and environments, and how sometimes what feels like grounding can actually be an anchor holding you back. Khat shares how her gift for pouring into others has shaped her, but also taught her the importance of not dimming her own light—a lesson I’m learning too, especially as someone who’s always tried to make sure everyone else is shining.We get into the spiritual side of growth—how connecting with nature and holistic practices has helped us both heal and evolve. I share how I’m a “hug-a-tree type of bitch,” and how taking my shoes off and feeling the grass under my feet grounds me in ways nothing else can. Khat talks about her recent trip to Bali and how travel and new experiences have deepened her spiritual journey. We both agree: your gifts—vision, hustle, faith—are already inside you; you just have to water them and let them grow.If you’ve ever felt stuck, guilty for outgrowing people, or just needed a reminder to keep shining your light, this episode is for you. It’s full of laughter, real talk, and the kind of motivation that keeps you trying again—no matter whatSponsor//Visit www.FindYourMiami.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

• From Two to Team: Building a Brand with Heart & Resilience feat Jazmin

  Welcome back to Let’s Try This Again—I’m your host, B Simone, and this episode is extra special because I’m sitting down with my longtime friend and behind-the-scenes powerhouse, Jazmin. If you’ve ever wondered what it really takes to build a brand, keep a business afloat, and find the right team, this conversation is for you. We get real about our journey together—from building websites before B Simone Beauty was even a thing, to weathering the storm of losing team members and starting over from scratch. I share how, after resigning from our previous venture, we went from a team of eight or ten down to just the two of us, and how that season of transition tested our resilience and commitment to our vision.We talk about the importance of trusting the process, even when it feels like you’re losing everything. I remember calling Jaz from the Virgin Islands, feeling anxious and unsure about starting the podcast, but her belief in me gave me the courage to try again. We also get honest about setting boundaries in business, especially when working with friends, and how crucial it is to have people around you who not only have the skills but truly believe in your vision. Jazmin keeps me grounded—when I’m dreaming big about arena tours and conferences, she’s the one who helps me build the solid foundation to make those dreams a reality.I open up about learning to delegate, to release control, and to trust my team—like this morning, when I was exhausted and realized it was okay to let the team handle things while I took care of myself. We talk about how building a business is never a straight line—it’s full of pivots, tough decisions, and moments of gratitude for the people who stick with you through it all. If you’re in a season of transition, feeling like you’ve lost your team, or just need a reminder to trust the process and keep going, this episode is for you. Let’s keep trying, growing, and building together.Sponsors//Simply Pop: See what the fizz is all about!

• From Doubt to Power: Navigating Confidence, Fasting & Vision with My Bestie Shekinah

  Welcome back to Let’s Try This Again—I’m your host, B Simone, and this episode is straight from the heart, recorded right after the BET Awards in LA, while I’m still in my event outfit, unwinding on the couch with my best friend, Shekinah. I open up about what it means to be in a season of real confidence—not just “faking it till you make it,” but truly feeling bold and secure in who I am. I share how, on the red carpet, I looked every interviewer in the eye and spoke my truth without hesitation, and how that’s a real sign for me that I’m coming out of a darker season and stepping into my power.We get real about the challenges behind the scenes—like pushing through a 10-day water fast (which had me crying from exhaustion and spiritual hunger), and the pressure of building a legacy app while watching my finances shift from liquid cash to assets and investments. I talk about how, even when it’s hard, I remind myself that what we’re building is for the long haul—like a crock pot, not a microwave. Shekinah keeps me grounded, reminding me that my words and vision are powerful, and that whatever I say will happen, because I have the faith to make it so.This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt the weight of chasing a dream, doubted their confidence, or needed a reminder that breakthrough comes with both tears and celebration. Whether you’re launching something new, fasting for clarity, or just needing a boost from someone who gets it, this conversation is full of real talk, laughter, and the kind of motivation that keeps you moving forward.Sponsors//Simply Pop: See what the fizz is all about!
