Welcome to the Let’s Try This Again podcast! I’m your host, B Simone, and in this episode, we’re diving deep into a topic that has transformed my life: Isolation vs. Solitude. This conversation is personal, relatable, and packed with lessons that will help you reflect on your own journey and move forward with intention.

I share my experience of navigating a season of solitude—a time of intentional alone moments that have brought incredible growth, clarity, and healing. Solitude has taught me to embrace independence, prioritize self-love, and let go of relationships that no longer serve me. I compare this to isolation, which can feel dark, fear-based, and stagnant—a space I’ve seen others struggle in.

For example, I talk about a loved one who’s in isolation—avoiding community out of fear—and contrast that with my solitude journey where I’ve learned to meal prep, set boundaries, and find joy in being alone without depending on external validation. Solitude has been a gift for me, allowing me to shed old habits and step into a healthier mindset.

This episode is about asking yourself: What season am I in? Whether you’re feeling lonely or disconnected, understanding the difference between isolation and solitude can be the key to unlocking growth and purpose. I break down the definitions and share practical ways to shift your mindset from victim to victor—because solitude can be empowering when embraced intentionally.

Tune in for an inspiring conversation filled with vulnerability, laughter, and actionable steps to help you heal and evolve. Let’s keep growing together—because every season has its purpose!

Welcome to the Let's Try This Again podcast! I’m your host, B Simone, and this episode is extra special because we’re celebrating one year of podcasting—yes, a whole year of pressing forward, overcoming fear, and giving God our yes.

In this episode, I share my personal journey of starting this podcast, how it came to life during a season of uncertainty, and the lessons I learned about faith, fear, and obedience. Let me take you back to the moment when God dropped the name "Let's Try This Again" into my spirit during a fast—a time when I felt broken and unsure about my next steps. Eight months after walking away from my previous podcast, I was hesitant to start over. But through faith and seeking God’s guidance, I found clarity and courage to take that leap.

I talk about how fear can paralyze us—whether it’s starting a new business, giving love another chance after heartbreak, or pursuing a dream that feels impossible. For me, fear was real when I thought about podcasting again after a traumatic experience with my first show. But choosing faith over fear opened doors not just for me but for others who needed encouragement and healing through these conversations.

This episode is all about starting, even when you don’t have all the answers. Whether it’s picking up an old hobby like singing or painting, or taking steps toward your purpose—even if it’s as small as writing down ideas—your yes isn’t just for you. It’s connected to someone else’s breakthrough, healing, or freedom.

I hope this episode motivates you to seek the next step in your journey. Remember Jeremiah 29:13: Seek Him with all your heart, and you will find Him. Don’t let fear hold you back from what God has called you to do. Your yes can create waves of healing and freedom for others—it’s bigger than you think!

Tune in now for a raw and relatable conversation filled with laughter, vulnerability, and practical steps to move forward in faith. Let’s celebrate together and keep trying—because the movement begins with us!

Hey, y’all! It’s your girl B. Simone, and welcome back to Let’s Try This Again! This week, I’m joined by someone super special—my brother and partner-in-crime from my 2024 stand-up tour, Brandon Lewis, aka B-Lew. Together, we dive into a raw and heartfelt conversation about growth, grief, and the power of isolation in self-discovery.

We talk about everything—from how we first met back in 2016 (remember that cringy boxing video shoot?) to how we reconnected almost a decade later during one of the most transformative years of our lives. Brandon opens up about losing his mom to cancer and how that heartbreaking experience became the catalyst for his season of transition. He shares how he’s learning to set boundaries, embrace self-worth, and step into a new version of himself.

On the flip side, I reflect on my own season of acceleration. From shedding dead weight to staying laser-focused on my vision, I’ve learned that not everyone is meant to come along for the ride—and that’s okay. We also talk about how isolation isn’t just lonely—it’s necessary. It breaks you down so you can rebuild stronger than ever.

This episode is full of laughs (Brandon roasting me is a given), tears (he’s been practicing his “10k views” cry!), and real-life gems about faith, resilience, and trusting God’s timing. Whether you’re navigating loss, chasing your dreams, or just trying to figure out your next step, this episode will leave you feeling seen and inspired.

Tune in now for some laughs, some lessons, and a whole lotta love. And don’t forget—every Monday we drop audio on all platforms, and every Tuesday you can catch the visuals on YouTube. Let’s grow together!

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.

Tune in now to Episode 51 of 'Let's Try This Again' and let's talk about it. New audio episodes drop every Monday, and visuals are up every Tuesday on YouTube. Follow us on Instagram @letstrythisagain for updates and exclusive behind-the-scenes content. Love y'all so much!

Stay authentic. Stay resilient. And remember, you are enough.

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.

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.
