In this episode, I'm sharing something deeply personal that I hope will resonate with each of you who's struggling to put yourself first. I recently had a transformative experience when my brother from another mother – my friend of almost 30 years – insisted I extend my business trip to visit him in the Bahamas. Despite my initial resistance (yes, even I struggle with practicing what I preach!), I finally said yes to myself, and it became one of the most rejuvenating experiences I've had in years.

Join me as I take you through my journey of reconnection – not just with my friend Nelson, but with the peaceful parts of myself I'd been neglecting. There's something powerful about putting your feet in the sand and just being present that no amount of hustle can replace. I share how this experience reminded me that as we get older, true joy comes less from parties and external validation, and more from genuine connection and moments of tranquility.

I also give you a glimpse into the breathtaking Baha Mar Resort and Hotel, where Nelson's comedy show took place, and the incredible hospitality I experienced while there. But more importantly, I challenge you to identify where in your life you might need to give yourself permission to say yes to rest, to friendship, and to putting yourself first occasionally. Remember, taking care of yourself isn't selfish – it's necessary.

Thank you for being part of this growing community that values authentic conversation and personal growth. Your messages, comments, and support mean everything to me. Now I'd love to hear from you – when was the last time you prioritized your own well-being? What's your equivalent of my Bahamas trip that you've been putting off? Let's continue building this corner together where we can all learn to wind down and tune in to what truly matters. 

Ps. Bigupppppp: Paragonnights, Sawyerboy Majah Hype and Keysha E and so many more!!!!
