Curls & Courage

Hi guys!!! In today's show, I'm putting a little spin on the social media "best advice" trend.

I'm sharing the WORST advice I've ever received — the kind that totally backfired… BAD!

Here on Curls and Courage, we’re all about leveling up, and sometimes that means learning from what not to do. In this episode, I’m opening up about the advice that left me drained, confused, broken, and burnt out — and the mindset shifts that helped me turn those mistakes into money moves :)

I'm talking health and wellness, personal finance, beauty, dating, career, mindset, and more! I hope you love this episode and thanks for listening!

What's gooood guys!!

In today’s episode, we’re talking about a mindset shift that literally changed my life.

Picture this: three people walk into the same gym… One’s training for growth, one’s there to flirt, and one’s just people-watching — but what does that have to do with your mindset?

Everything.

Your perspective shapes it all — your workouts, your progress, your success, your relationships, and even how you bounce back when life starts doing the absolute most.

We’re all moving through the same world, but the way we see it? That’s what makes the difference. Perspective is what keeps your mind strong when life gets heavy.

This episode is funny, real, and one of those “you’ll never see it the same way again” kind of conversations.

I hope you love it, see through my lens for a few minutes, and leave feeling inspired to shift your own.

Thanks so much for listening!

Hi guys!!

So, over the past few months, I've had a major reflection on choosing happiness during every season of life (which, honestly, is extremely challenging).

I used to believe happiness would magically appear once I had the perfect body, the dream relationship, and the big-city lifestyle. But, I’ve learned that being “happy” isn't tied to what you look like, who you're with, or what you have.

In this episode, I’m sharing a vulnerable, funny, and honest self-roast of the delusional versions of myself who thought happiness lived in clear skin, relationship purgatory, and a Brickell condo with a water view.

I'm talking about:

• Why happiness is a daily choice, not a future reward.
• How health is wealth—mental and physical.
• Why waiting for “perfect” moments means missing out on growth and joy happening in the process.
• Why your worth isn’t tied to your appearance, relationship status, or bank balance.

I hope this episode reminds you to stop "waiting for the perfect moment" to be happy because life can be taken from you at any given moment, and it’s just too short to wait…

Thank you so much for listening!

Hi my loves and welcome back to another episode of Curls and Courage!

Ever felt out of place, overwhelmed, or like you accidentally stepped into a live episode of Black Mirror? Let’s be real- life gets weird, awkward, and just straight up uncomfortable sometimes. In this episode, I’m sharing three hilariously uncomfortable situations I’ve faced lately and how I handled each one with confidence.

Storytime Breakdown:

The Club Scene I Couldn't Handle

My Uber Driver Literally Peed His Pants Mid-Ride

Getting Emotionally Ambushed at a Miami Car Dealership

You’ll laugh, cringe, and maybe even relate a little too much. But most importantly, you’ll walk away knowing how to hold your own, stop avoiding confrontation, and dip when the vibes just aren't it.

What’s up you guys — welcome back to another episode of Curls and Courage and thank you for listening :)

Y’all, I think I hit a new level of public embarrassment last week and I’m not even mad about it.

Picture this: I’m in a hardcore Miami boxing gym, surrounded by literal pro fighters and and not gonna lie- some extremely fine black men… rocking a wig from Dollar Tree, a drawn-on mustache, crawling on the floor, dancing like a STEM major at their first frat party.

Embarrassing? For sure.

But, here’s the thing — if you’re not willing to look stupid, you’re probably not taking big enough risks.

This episode is a reminder to step outside of your comfort zone and go after what you want- no matter who's watching... I hope you guys love it!

Hi guys!! Thank you so much for listening to another episode of Curls and Courage!!

Let’s be real—life can throw some serious punches. The best way to win?

Show up ready. Be mentally untouchable. Get back up every time you fall.

This episode is for anyone feeling overwhelmed by life’s chaos who wants practical, relatable tools to build mental resilience, stay flexible, and keep moving forward with humor and strength.

I’m sharing my experience with boxing over the past six months and the impact it’s had on my physical and mental health. I talk all about staying flexible, focused, and fiercely resilient when the unexpected hits hard.

Now, I’m no Mike Tyson, but I sure as hell know how to keep fighting…

I hope you guys love this episode and feel inspired after listening!!

Ever ever felt stuck in a job, a relationship, your own mind—or maybe you're trying to rebuild from scratch?

Stagnancy is the worst place to be, right? 3 years ago, I decided I'd had enough!

In this story-time based episode, I’m sharing the real behind my move to Miami — the big dreams, the blind delusion, and the inevitable breakdowns.

Miami didn't just test me- it through me straight INTO the fire!

From losing thousands and getting ghosted to dealing with a roach apocalypse and silent 2 a.m. breakdowns on the floor of my studio apartment, this is the unfiltered truth about what it really takes to rebuild your life from the ground up — especially in a city that looks like a vacation but feels like a bootcamp...

What you'll learn in this episode:

• Why “delusional confidence” might be the key to leveling up your life
• The five essentials you need before making a big life move
• How to keep showing up when life humbles you
• How to rebuild your metabolism after years of dieting and overtraining

Thank you guys so much for listening!

Stay brave, stay delusional, and go make the moves that matter — especially the ones that lowkey scare you.

What's up guys and welcome back to another episode of Curls and Courage!

Ever had one of those nights where everything is going perfect, until it SERIOUSLY isn’t?

Post-birthday dinner, vibing heavy, about to go out — then BOOM! Stuck in a 5X5 elevator.

No service. No exit. No ETA.

But instead of freaking out? My brother and I turned it into a full blown music video.

In this week's episode, I’m sharing my wildest birthday story and what getting stuck in an elevator taught me about joy, mindset, and turning chaos into comedy.

Because when life locks you in, you can panic… OR YOU CAN DANCE!

Key Takeaways:

• The power isn’t in controlling the situation — it’s in not letting the situation control you.
• Staying calm doesn’t mean you’re unaffected — it just means you’re choosing peace.
• Humor is a mindset. It’s also a survival tool. Humor might not fix the problem, but it definitely makes it easier to deal with.
• Good people > boujee dinners, designer clothes, or luxury experiences

I hope this episode makes you laugh and feel more encouraged! Thanks for listening!

Hi loves!

So I’m turning 24 soon… and instead of throwing a party, I decided to roast myself on the internet. Because let's be real- adulting is confusing, dating in Miami is a scam, and sadly, hitting PRs on leg day won’t fix your emotional damage (lowkey helps though).

If there’s one thing I’m learning this year, it’s that nobody really has it all together — we’re all just out here doing our best, okay.

So whether you're in your healing era, hustler era, delusional era, or maybe all three at once — I feel you for real. You're probably not doing as bad as you think you are — this one’s for you.

Thank you so much for joining my birthday roast :)

Hi guys! I'm super excited for this weeks' episode because today I'm taking you behind the scenes of my early grind- because sometimes your path to passion runs straight through a fried chicken stained tee and 12hr shift on your feet...

This one's for my homies stuck in survival mode, the side hustlers out there flipping burgers with big visions, or anyone who's ever wondered if their "now" will ever lead to there next.

I hope this episode gives you a little motivation and reminds you that even the most random, exhausting jobs can teach you something powerful.

The way I see it is that you're not behind- you're building! Just keep showing up and focus on the BIGGER picture!

Thank you so much for listening!
