In a world fixated on conformity, Mrs Kasha Davis stands as a beacon of authenticity and self-love. This powerful conversation traverses the rocky terrain of addiction, self-discovery, and the transformative power of embracing one's true identity.

The legendary drag performer opens up about her journey to sobriety—approaching a decade clean after battling alcoholism that stemmed from years of trying to please everyone but herself. "I spent so many years in my youth running away from who I was," she reveals, detailing how the decision to live authentically became her truest act of self-love. This raw vulnerability creates an instant connection, especially when we discover our parallel struggles with addiction—hers with alcohol, mine with food—both stemming from a desperate attempt to numb pain rather than process it.

But this isn't just a story of personal triumph. With disarming honesty, Kasha shares how she's channeling her experiences into creating spaces of acceptance through drag story hours, children's books, and university teaching—building the supportive environments she never had access to as a child. When parents approach her after performances saying, "Thank you for showing me my child has a community," she finds her purpose crystallized in those moments of connection across difference.

Perhaps most moving is the story of reconciliation with her father—a man who once spat in her face when she came out, but who eventually attended one of her performances and proclaimed, "That's my son, Eddie, and I am so very proud." This unexpected turn reveals how leading with love can sometimes penetrate even the most hardened prejudice, offering hope in seemingly hopeless situations.

Whether you're struggling with self-acceptance, battling addiction, or simply trying to find your authentic voice in a noisy world, this conversation reminds us that our purpose is bigger than any force trying to silence us. As Mrs Kasha Davis puts it so beautifully: "There's always time for kindness." Subscribe now and join our community of truth-seekers riding shotgun through life's most meaningful journeys.

The pursuit of authenticity often requires breaking free from everything you've been taught to believe about yourself. In this soul-stirring conversation with viral sensation Khian KB, we journey from small-town limitations to global recognition, uncovering what it truly means to step into your power.

Khian opens up about the jarring reality behind social media stardom—having two million followers while struggling financially—and how understanding the business side of creativity ultimately transformed his career. "I had to learn the game," he shares, revealing how brands initially tried to underpay him despite the massive visibility he provided. This raw transparency offers a crucial perspective for aspiring creators navigating similar waters.

Beyond the numbers, our conversation delves into the emotional and spiritual dimensions of Khian's evolution. After living 17 years in the closet, dimming his light to make others comfortable, Khian describes the liberation that came from embracing his truth. "I broke out of that darkness and ever since, it feels like the world is my playground," he reflects. His spiritual awakening, including a pivotal moment when his house burned down, becoming the catalyst that forced him to relocate and pursue his dreams, demonstrates how setbacks often serve as divine redirections.

Fashion emerges as a powerful theme throughout our discussion. For Khian, clothing isn't just fabric—it's a language that allows him to honor both his masculinity and femininity without constraint. "Fashion is fun," he insists, challenging the notion that we should limit our self-expression based on others' perceptions. His parting wisdom resonates deeply: take baby steps outside your comfort zone, practice being uncomfortable, and remember that growth happens when you're pushed beyond familiar boundaries.

Ready to embrace your authentic self? Listen now and discover why, in Khian's words, "What other people think about you is not your business." Then join our community of freedom-seekers who are learning to shine brightly without apology.

What happens when you finally decide your peace is non-negotiable? Freshie—rapper, filmmaker, athlete, and community builder—joins me to share her remarkable journey of rebirth and self-discovery. 

From the opening moments, Freshie's magnetic energy and wisdom fill the conversation as she dives deep into what it means to protect your peace at all costs. "What other people think about you is not your business," she declares, setting the tone for a raw discussion about reclaiming personal power. Her song "My Peace" emerged from a painful breakup that left her feeling diminished, yet became the anthem of her transformation: "You can't steal my peace, you can't steal my soul."

The conversation takes powerful turns as Freshie vulnerably shares her mental health struggles, including moments where she contemplated ending her life, and how reaching out saved her. "I'm not okay," she admitted to someone after her most recent low point—a statement that demonstrates remarkable courage. Her employers responded by giving her time off, showing what true support looks like when we're brave enough to speak our truth.

Perhaps most compelling is Freshie's discussion of what had to die inside her to make room for rebirth: "People pleasing," she answers without hesitation. She explains how, as a natural giver who leads with love, she often found herself manipulated and gaslit by those who took advantage of her generous spirit. The transformation came when she started heeding her intuition and observing people's actions rather than their words.

Beyond personal growth, Freshie shares her passion for community building through initiatives like The League Atlanta and We Outside ATL, creating spaces for authentic connection beyond typical nightlife scenes. She approaches her artistry without limitation, identifying as "an artist who happens to be in the LGBT community" rather than allowing herself to be boxed in.

Ready to reclaim your power and protect your peace? Listen now and remember Freshy's parting wisdom: "Your greatest strength and your greatest weapon will always be your self-awareness. Your peace is your own to own."

The world comes to a standstill when royalty enters the room. Latrice Royale—"large and in charge, chunky and funky"—brings her formidable presence to a conversation that transcends drag entertainment and dives deep into the soul of authenticity, self-love, and purposeful living.

This raw, emotional exchange peels back the sequins and reveals Timothy—the resilient human behind the iconic Latrice Royale persona. With breathtaking candor, Latrice traces her journey from being "different" and not fitting any mold to deliberately transforming perceived weaknesses into superpowers. "If the skinny is doing it, I'm gonna work ten times harder to do the same things," she shares, revealing the determination that propelled her to legendary status.

The conversation takes unexpected emotional turns as both Latrice and host Alethea Crimmins recognize their profound impact on each other's journeys toward self-acceptance.

Her practical approach to recharging—surrounding herself with inspiring people who "make me love what I do again"—offers wisdom for anyone navigating similar challenges.

Beyond personal revelation, Latrice delivers mic-drop insights about criticism ("I am living rent-free, doing laps inside of your mind"), chosen family ("I have chosen you"), and the deeper purpose of drag ("It shows you that you can be any and everything that you want to be"). Her message to her younger self brings tears: recognizing that being different would ultimately become her greatest strength.

Whether you're a longtime fan or meeting Latrice for the first time, this conversation will leave you changed—inspired to stand in your truth, embrace your uniqueness, and as Alethea says, "have a good day on purpose."

What happens when you refuse to dim your light for others' comfort? When you set firm boundaries without apology? When you decide to keep winning despite the whispers of doubt around you? 

YouTube superstar Terrell Grice joins me to share his remarkable journey from Southern church choir singer to creator of "The Terrell Show" with 2.2 million subscribers. With his trademark warmth and wisdom, Terrell reveals how his talk show empire began as "one giant accident" – a divine assignment he wasn't initially seeking but was perfectly prepared to fulfill.

"How you can shut your haters down immediately is you keep on winning," Terrell explains, offering a masterclass in maintaining your stride when others hope to see you stumble. His refreshing perspective on success comes from someone who's lived it – creating his own lane when traditional paths weren't available and refusing to compromise his authenticity along the way.

Our conversation takes a vulnerable turn when we discuss the unexpected loneliness that accompanies achievement. "It got lonely fast," Terrell admits, sharing how relationships transform when your star rises and the painful necessity of setting boundaries with people you once considered close. His candid reflections on therapy and protecting his peace offer valuable guidance for anyone navigating similar waters.

Terrell also delivers a powerful message to listeners struggling with self-confidence: "You are beautiful... It is not like I need to do this thing to become it. You are." This affirmation challenges our tendency to postpone self-acceptance until reaching some external standard.

His parting wisdom perfectly encapsulates our time together: "Take the time to be grateful for the answers to the prayers you prayed yesterday." Before rushing to the next challenge, acknowledge how far you've already come. Remember, "Being great is not about proving anybody wrong. It's about proving yourself right."

"Music is the weapon in the war against unhappiness." These powerful words from Alethea Crimmins capture the heart of this transformative conversation with Broadway performer Nicolas King.

From the moment Nicolas steps into the passenger seat, the chemistry is electric. With a voice smooth as silk that's earned him recognition as a modern-day crooner in the tradition of Frank Sinatra, Nicolas shares his remarkable journey that began at just four years old. By seven, he was performing on Broadway in Disney's Beauty and the Beast as Chip the Teacup, eventually becoming the longest-running actor in that role in Broadway history.

But it's Nicolas's deeply personal connection with music that truly resonates. Mentored by the legendary Liza Minnelli from age 11, Nicolas served as her opening act for over a decade. Through this relationship, he learned that performance isn't just about sequins and jazz hands—it's about intention, purpose, and authentic expression. This mentorship provided an education that shaped not only his artistry but his approach to life.

The conversation takes a profound turn when Nicolas shares how a friend's simple statement—"I haven't lied in six years"—transformed his perspective on authenticity. Both Alethea and Nicolas explore the courage it takes to stop pretending, to release expectations imposed by others, and to embrace who you truly are. For those struggling with depression or feeling silenced because of who they love, music becomes more than entertainment—it's salvation.

As Nicolas explains the science behind music's emotional impact, we understand why certain songs can bring us to tears or lift us from our darkest moments. When he performs "My Funny Valentine" live during the episode, it's a moving demonstration of music's power to express what words alone cannot.

Ready to experience the healing power of music? Listen now, and remember to give yourself permission to let it out so you can let it go.

Hustle culture has convinced us that rest is a reward we haven't earned yet. But what if constant grinding isn't the badge of honor we've been led to believe? What if it's actually killing our creativity and joy?

Rapper JunoFlo joins me to unravel how the 24/7 productivity mindset has shaped his 14-year music career. From being raised in a household where excellence was the only option to navigating an industry that celebrates sleepless nights, Juno shares how he's learning to balance ambition with well-being. "People become fans of you as a person," he reveals, "and that might be more important than being a fan of the music."

We dive into the concept of "glow up guilt"—that uncomfortable feeling when friends and family resist your growth and boundary-setting. As Juno wisely suggests, "Go out of your way to make you happy," which might include taking yourself on an "artist date" to refill your creative well without considering anyone else's needs.

I'll leave you with three powerful tools to reset from burnout: remember that productivity without purpose is just noise, schedule rest like it's a non-negotiable meeting, and celebrate quality over quantity in your work. Because here's the truth—you don't have to hustle every day to be worthy. You already are worthy.

Ready to reclaim your life from hustle culture? Your challenge this week is to choose one area where you can trade hustle for purpose. Be intentional about it. Do it for you, not for anyone else.
