Someone once told me I’d go further if I just “toned it down.” Less opinions. Less visibility. Less… me. And for a minute? I believed them.
In this episode, I’m sharing the moment that planted self-doubt, how it almost made me walk away from everything I’ve built, and the community that reminded me my “too much” was never the problem.
If you’ve ever been told to shrink yourself, this one’s for you.
We’ll talk about:
– The early advice that hit the hardest– Crying over content and almost quitting– How mentorship went wrong—and what saved me– Why the world doesn’t need a quieter version of you– And the power of being unapologetically seen
Plus, in this week’s Oliver’s Light segment, I share the messages that keep pouring in from other grieving families—and why saying his name matters.

Paper Ghosts: The Texas Teen Murders
Paper Ghosts: The Texas Teen Murders takes you back to 1983, when two teenagers were found murdered, execution-style, on a quiet Texas hill. What followed was decades of rumors, false leads, and a case that law enforcement could never seem to close. Now, veteran investigative journalist M. William Phelps reopens the file — uncovering new witnesses, hidden evidence, and a shocking web of deaths that may all be connected. Over nine gripping episodes, Paper Ghosts: The Texas Teen Murders unravels a story 42 years in the making… and asks the question: who’s really been hiding the truth?
