We all got ‘em — those built-in reactions, beliefs, and habits we didn’t choose... they just came with the system. 👀In this solo episode of Insider Threat, we’re digging deep into how our upbringing, environment, and early experiences programmed our “defaults” — from how we handle stress to how we see ourselves. Some of those settings serve us. Others? Need a full reboot. 💻⚙️From the Say Ahh (Open Up) segment inspired by Eckhart Tolle’s “The past has no power over the present moment,” to unpacking how society downloads its expectations into our daily lives (Internet Mode), this one’s all about awareness, unlearning, and reprogramming.We’ll walk through the Buffering stage — that messy middle between who we were and who we’re becoming — and get real about what it feels like to challenge your old code. Then we’ll head Intranet deep into the internal impact of living on autopilot, and what peace feels like when you finally break free.💡 Take CTRL:
CTRL + A — What stood out to you most?
CTRL + C — What lessons are you copying from this convo?
CTRL + V — What are you ready to apply to your life moving forward?So yeah... let’s talk about it. The defaults we inherited. The ones we outgrew. And the new ones we’re bold enough to build.🎧 Tap in on Spotify or YouTube, and when it hits — you’ll know.

The fine print we never read. The silent agreements we sign without ever clicking “I Accept.”In this episode of Insider Threat, I sit down with Taylor McBride to unpack all the unspoken contracts we live under—expectations, compromises, and emotional clauses we never meant to agree to.From society’s “this is how you’re supposed to live” to the quiet deals we make just to keep the peace, this one’s about seeing the fine print for what it is. Because too often, we say yes to things that drain us, all because it feels easier than saying no.🔑 What you’ll hear in this episode:

• The “terms” society imposes that we accept without question
• The pressure to perform, please, and fit in—without even realizing it
• The internal moment when you start to question what you’ve been signing up for
• The freedom that comes when you start rewriting your own terms

We talk about the mental and emotional cost of compliance, and the courage it takes to hit “decline.” Because sometimes, protecting your peace means renegotiating the contract altogether.✨ Reflective Takeaway:
What “terms” have you been living under that no longer serve your peace—or your purpose?It’s time to read the fine print on your own life.
Protect your peace. Alter your code.
And as always… logging off for now.

Ghost Mode.
Silence. Distance. The choice to step away when the noise gets too loud.In this episode of Insider Threat, I sit down with Alexandria Smokes to talk about the power of disappearing—whether it’s a digital detox, stepping away from toxic people, or simply pressing pause to reset your mind.We live in a world that demands we stay connected, available, and “always on.” But sometimes, protecting your peace means logging off. This episode is about the pressures of constant connection, the guilt that comes with saying no, and the freedom that comes when you give yourself permission to go ghost.🔑 What you’ll hear in this episode:

• The influence of social media and society’s demand to stay “always available”
• Why it’s so hard to take that step into Ghost Mode when we know we need it
• The mental clarity and emotional reset that comes with choosing space
• How disappearing for a while can actually help you show up stronger

This isn’t about running away—it’s about reclaiming your boundaries. Because sometimes, the most powerful move you can make is to disappear just long enough to remember who you are.✨ Reflective Takeaway: When was the last time you gave yourself permission to disconnect for your own well-being?As always—protect your peace, alter your code, and… logging off for now.

Product of Your Decisions, Not Your Environment..Excuses. Circumstances. The story we tell ourselves about why we can’t move forward. In this solo episode of Insider Threat, we’re tearing that whole narrative apart. 🚫✨Too often, society tells us our environment defines us—that where we come from decides where we end up. But the truth? We are the product of our decisions, not our surroundings. This one’s about empowerment, accountability, and choosing differently even when the odds are stacked.From the pressures of the outside world, to that buffering stage where you wrestle with blame vs. ownership, to the freedom that comes when you finally say, “It’s on me”—this reflection is for anybody who’s tired of letting their environment dictate their destiny.🔑 What you’ll hear in this episode:

• How society uses environment as an excuse for success or failure
• The inner battle between circumstances and choice
• The power that comes with taking full responsibility for your path
• Practical ways to shift from blame to ownership today

This isn’t about shame—it’s about liberation. Because the moment you own your decisions, you unlock the power to rewrite your future.✨ Reflective Takeaway: What’s one decision you’ve been avoiding that you’re ready to take ownership of today?As always—protect your peace, alter your code, and… logging off for now.

What if the only thing holding you back is a belief that isn’t even true? In this episode of Insider Threat, we sit down with Kelsie “WestLove” West to unpack the myths and self-doubt that keep us from dreaming bigger. From society’s projections to the internal battle with fear, we explore how one powerful example can shatter limiting beliefs and inspire new possibilities.👉🏾 Tune in as we talk about breaking cycles, challenging doubt, and building the confidence to create your own path.#Motivation #Mindset #PersonalGrowth #Podcast

Some things ain’t about the outcome—it’s about the principle. In this episode of Insider Threat, we’re sitting down with LaVaughn Graves to talk about the power of standing on your values, even when the world is pushing you in the opposite direction.From the outside noise of society, family, and career expectations—to the inside battle of wanting peace but also wanting to stay true—we explore what it really costs to live by your principles. Because at the end of the day, compromising might get you approval, but sticking to what you believe will give you clarity.✨ Topics we dive into:

• How external pressures test your principles
• The “in-between” space where doing right feels hardest
• The internal cost of compromise vs. the peace of integrity
• Why principles shape not just decisions, but who you really are

If you’ve ever had to choose between fitting in and standing firm, this episode is for you.🔒 Protect your peace. Alter your code. And as always—Logging Off For Now.

Ever reacted off pure emotion—and instantly knew you took it too far? Then comes the backtracking… trying to justify it with logic, or finding folks to cosign what you already knew wasn’t right.This episode is about that exact tension. Yes, your emotions are valid because they’re yours—but they can’t be the only thing driving your decisions. When we lead only with how we feel, we risk creating messes that could’ve been avoided.Inside this solo check-in, we’ll explore:
✨ The cost of reacting before thinking.
✨ Why balancing emotion and logic matters.
✨ How to honor your feelings without letting them run the whole show.Bottom line: Feel what you feel. But before you move—pause, breathe, and let logic pull up a chair.
