Hey you guys! It's your girl, B Simone, and welcome back to another episode of the 'Let's Try This Again' podcast! In this episode, we are diving deep into something that hit me like never before — an identity crisis. Now, if you know me, you know I have always loved my skin, my curls, my melanin, my juicy lips, and everything about being a Black woman. But recently, I found myself questioning it all, and I need to share this journey with you.

It all started with a conversation my girl Connor had on a date with an NBA player who casually said he prefers dating white women because they are "easier to deal with." But he added, "You don't count because you look mixed." That one comment shook me to my core. I mean, here I was, 34 years old, never once doubting my beauty or my worth, and suddenly I found myself asking, "Am I too Black? Too urban? Are my braids too ghetto?" Y'all, these thoughts had NEVER been in my head before.

As I got ready for my trip to Brazil, I kept overthinking everything. Am I dressing too Black? Will I fit in with these high-value men? It felt crazy because I had always walked confidently in who I am. But at that party in Brazil, surrounded by women who looked racially ambiguous, I felt it. The doubt. The questioning. And let me be clear — I wasn’t disrespected. Everyone was kind and welcoming. But perception is powerful, and for the first time, I felt like I didn’t fit in.

But here's what I learned: My authenticity is my power. I didn't let those thoughts change who I was. I showed up as my loud, vibrant, braided, Black self because that is enough. And I want every Black woman listening to know that YOU are enough. Whether you're rocking colorful nails, big hair, or rocking your natural curls — show up as YOU.

This episode is a reminder to confront those sneaky little thoughts that make us question our worth. Catch them before they turn into actions. Cast them down because we are more than society's beauty standards.

What’s up, you guys! It’s your girl B. Simone, and today we’re talking about something that’s been heavy on my heart—answering the call, stepping into obedience, and MOVING when God tells you to.

A few months ago, God placed it on my spirit to serve, and I had no idea what that meant. But when I visited my father’s church in Columbus, Ohio, it all made sense. This episode is all about how I stepped into my purpose, led a powerful women’s event, and witnessed healing in ways I couldn’t have imagined.

Y’all, this weekend was a testament to faith, obedience, and the power of community. From creating a safe space for women to be vulnerable to witnessing my father’s prayers come full circle, this was nothing short of life-changing. And baby, my daddy’s sermon? WHEW! He preached on “Staying Put When You Should Have Moved”, and let me tell you—it was a WORD! If you’ve been stuck, scared to move, or hesitant to step into what God is calling you to do, THIS is your sign.

What do you need to fight for?

What do you need to flee from?

What do you need to repent for?

Don’t stay stuck when God is telling you to MOVE! This episode will bless you, I promise. Press play, take notes, and let’s grow together.

What’s up, you guys! It’s your girl B. Simone, and this episode is nothing short of wild! My bestie Candice is back, but this time she brought her husband, Omar, and whew—y’all, we get real.

We talk love, marriage, and what it takes to build a solid foundation, but let’s be clear—this ain’t no fairy tale. Their wedding day? A complete disaster. We’re talking family emergencies, throwing up on the boat, a hurricane in L.A. (yes, really), and running out of gas on the freeway. I couldn’t make this up if I tried!

But through it all, Candice and Omar kept God at the center, and their story is proof that true love isn’t about perfection—it’s about partnership. Omar shares how he had to lay down his ego to grow into the man he is today, and Candice opens up about learning to balance independence with being a wife.

We also get into purpose over performance, social media pressure, and Omar’s inspiring transition from pro athlete to herbalist. He’s now building a holistic health brand, The Culture’s Herb, helping people heal naturally.

If you’re navigating relationships, faith, self-growth, or just need a good laugh, press play NOW. This one is for you.

What’s up, you guys! It’s your girl, B. Simone, and this episode of Let’s Try This Again is one for the books. If you’ve ever struggled with self-worth, discipline, or letting go of toxic patterns, this conversation is for YOU. I had the absolute honor of sitting down with the phenomenal Dr. Thema Bryant, a trauma psychologist and survivor who is out here changing lives.

We got REAL about everything—how vulnerability is a superpower, why self-forgiveness is just as important as forgiving others, and the hard truth about healing from past wounds. Dr. Bryant dropped so many gems, from understanding why we perform for acceptance to why we should stop shrinking ourselves to make others comfortable. And whew—when she called me out on my own self-neglect and emotional eating? Let’s just say I had a breakthrough right there on the mic!

This episode is all about choosing growth, breaking cycles, and stepping into the love and peace we all deserve. So if you’ve been feeling stuck, lost, or just in need of a little motivation, trust me, you don’t want to miss this one.

What’s up, you guys! It’s your girl B. Simone, and today’s episode is one for the books! I’m sitting down with my bestie of over a decade, the unstoppable Candice, as we get real about motherhood, marriage, and her journey with PCOS. If you’ve ever felt like life flipped you upside down, trust me—you’re not alone!

Candice keeps it 100 about navigating postpartum, juggling being a new wife, and not losing herself in the process. We talk about the mental, emotional, and physical shifts that come with stepping into these new roles and how she’s making it work (spoiler: it ain’t easy, but it’s worth it).

She also gets deep into her battle with PCOS, the weight struggles, and the frustration of trying everything before finally finding what worked. From a year-long detox to a transformative trip to Honduras, Candice shares the real tea on healing holistically, the importance of community, and why she refuses to let PCOS define her.

And of course, we touch on the social media pressure, body image, and why we’re DONE starting over when it comes to health and consistency.

If you’re a mama, a wife, or just a woman trying to figure life out—this episode is for YOU. Grab your headphones, press play, and let’s get into it!

Hey, y’all! It’s your girl, B. Simone, and this episode of Let’s Try This Again is all about setting goals, staying obedient, and pushing through—even when it’s tough.

I’m coming to you from Dear Media Studios, and let me tell you, this is a full-circle moment. Two years ago, I walked away from a major deal here, trusting God even when it didn’t make sense. And now? I’m sitting in this very studio, signed, sealed, and stepping into my purpose.

We’re talking about goals and manifestation—how I wrote down three major goals for 2025, and they’re already unfolding before my eyes. From landing a big contract, to traveling the world every month, to committing to a fasted lifestyle, I’m sharing the highs, the struggles, and the lessons along the way.

I also get real about obedience and discipline—because staying true to your path means walking away from comfort, from relationships that no longer serve you, and from opportunities that aren’t aligned with your spirit. And let’s be honest, sometimes that means sitting in a dry season (like my phone—whew, Sahara Desert vibes!). But when you trust the process, the blessings come back full circle.

Oh, and if you’ve ever had to do your makeup in an $200 Uber ride while rushing to be on time, trust me, you’ll relate to this one!

So, grab your journal, write down those goals, and let’s hold each other accountable. What’s one thing you’re committing to in 2025? Drop it in the comments, and let’s make it happen—together.

Follow @LetsTryThisAgain on Instagram, join the community, and stay tuned for the LTTA app—it’s coming soon!

Let’s keep growing, keep pushing, and as always, let’s try this again.

Hey y’all, it’s B Simone, and this week, I’m opening up about something I struggled with consistently last year—comparison. Whether it was scrolling on social media or feeling like I wasn’t where I “should” be in life, it had me stuck in my head and doubting myself. But this year? That’s not my story anymore.

In this episode, I share what it was like to admit I was caught up in the comparison game, how therapy gave me tools to work through it, and what finally helped me stop caring about likes, views, and outside opinions. We talk about those moments when you feel jealous or not good enough and how to flip those feelings into something that motivates you instead of dragging you down.

I also shout out my friends and community—the ones who remind me who I am when I forget. And for real, if you’re in a season where you’re feeling stuck, I’ve got tips to help you refocus on your goals and start building a life that actually makes you happy.

So if you’ve been feeling the weight of comparison lately, trust me—you’re not alone, and you don’t have to stay in that space. Let’s talk about how to shift your focus and get back to loving your life, one small step at a time.

Hit play and let’s figure this out together. See you in the episode!

"I am a Lion and a Lamb" - Jason Wilson

In this episode, I sat down with author, mentor, and the transformative leader behind The Cave of Adullam, Jason Wilson. We dive deep into what it means to break free from emotional incarceration, redefine manhood, and embrace both the lion and the lamb within us. Jason shares his powerful journey from a wounded boy in Detroit to becoming a man who leads with transparency, resilience, and love.

We talk about the 10 characteristics of a comprehensive man, why being "just a provider and protector" isn’t enough, and how healing the past unlocks freedom in the present. At one point, Jason reveals how his personal struggles with family trauma helped him nurture his mother during her battle with dementia, teaching him the true meaning of sacrifice and love. His insights into creating safe spaces—for men and women alike—are nothing short of life-changing.

This conversation left me feeling vulnerable, inspired, and deeply seen. I hope it does the same for you. Tune in for a raw, transformative discussion that reminds us all to embrace our evolving selves and keep trying until we’re not just trying anymore—we’re thriving.

This week I’m joined by our first guest of 2025: entrepreneur, financial educator, and my friend Wallstreet Trapper. 

He shared his powerful story of transformation from—growing up in New Orleans, navigating the streets, serving time in prison, and ultimately building a life centered on purpose and impact. Trapper opened up about his emotional journey, including how therapy has helped him recalibrate his feelings, address his struggles with empathy, and work towards forgiveness. We spoke about redefining relationships and what it means to truly show up for the people in our lives.

Trapper’s passion for financial freedom is just as inspiring as his personal growth. He broke down how he’s teaching people to overcome financial trauma, invest with confidence, and create generational wealth. From setting up custodial accounts for kids to using the stock market as a tool for liberation, his insights are practical and life-changing. He also revealed how he used a $1.2 million trade to fund his new Freedom Center, which will be a space for education, community, and empowerment.

If you’re ready to embrace growth—whether emotionally, spiritually, or financially—this conversation is for you. Don’t miss it!
