Five years. Two Black Podcast Awards nominations. “Critically acclaimed.”
I’m grateful, loud, and smiling… but here’s the truth: that outside validation didn’t magically fix my self-doubt.
In this episode, I talk about the high of being recognized, the quiet shift that started before the nominations, and the mirror moment where I had to stop the negative self-talk and practice grace.
If you’ve been chasing proof that you’re enough, I get it—I’ve done it. Today, we’re building a different kind of proof: the kind that comes from keeping promises to yourself, receiving love without deflecting, and speaking to yourself like someone worth riding for.
