In this episode of Let’s Try This Again, host Braelyn Simone Greenfield reflects on faith, family, and what truly matters after a powerful, emotional week back home in Dallas. From praying over her 91-year-old grandmother before surgery to witnessing her gratitude and resilience afterward, Braelyn shares a deeply personal reminder to love on your people while they’re still here and stop waiting for “someday” .

She also opens up about returning to the neighborhood she grew up in and seeing it through new eyes — recognizing how far she’s come, while feeling called to pour back into the same environments that shaped her. Joined by actor Julian Horton (Beauty in the Black), the conversation expands into healing, childhood trauma, faith, discipline, and navigating success without losing yourself. Julian shares raw stories from his upbringing, including a defining childhood moment that strengthened his relationship with God, and how that foundation continues to guide him through fame, fatherhood, and purpose today .

Together, they explore what it looks like to grow, forgive, stay grounded in faith, and choose purpose over pressure — even in an industry full of distractions. This episode is a reminder that no matter where you come from, your mindset, your faith, and your choices can change everything.

This is more than a conversation—it’s a call to evolve, trust God deeper, and choose purpose over familiarty.

In this powerful episode of Let’s Try This Again, host Braelyn Simone Greenfield takes the conversation beyond surface-level motivation and into real, transformative growth. Joined by comedian Lavelle Dontae, the episode blends humor with deeply honest moments about identity, faith, and self-awareness. From sharing the pressure of performing for others to unpacking the reality of people-pleasing and losing yourself in expectations, the conversation gets real about what it takes to reclaim your voice. Lavelle opens up about a life-changing moment where he asked, “Who am I living for?”—a question that shifted everything and led him to stop seeking validation from people and start pursuing purpose through God .

Braelyn and her Lavelle also dive into modern struggles like substance habits, digital behavior, and the importance of character behind closed doors. Whether it’s choosing discipline over comfort, taking risks with faith, or learning to unplug and reset, this episode is a reminder that growth requires intention—and that becoming your best self starts with the decisions you make daily.

This is more than a conversation—it’s a call to evolve, trust God deeper, and choose purpose over familiarty.

In this episode, I sit down with Demetri Wiley for one of the most honest conversations about love, faith, pain, and healing. We talk about everything—from navigating relationships in the public eye to protecting sacred parts of your life, like the people you love most.

Demetri opens up about surviving depression, a suicide attempt, homelessness at 18, and how becoming a father changed everything for him. We dive into what intentional dating really looks like—sending flowers across states, choosing consistency over love-bombing, and learning that real alignment comes down to values, not chemistry. This conversation reminded me that sometimes the pain you go through is exactly what prepares you to walk in purpose, love deeper, and trust God more.

This is Episode 100… and baby, we made it two years. I recorded this right after church, lit in the Holy Spirit, reflecting on Pastor Darius Daniels’ Prayerology series and the reminder that prayer isn’t a fire extinguisher — it’s intimacy with God. From rededicating LTTA back to God, to officially stepping into my full name Braelyn Simone Greenfield, to publicly apologizing for moments I bled on this mic from a broken place — this episode is raw, emotional, and honest.

I talk about how I used to equate purpose with platform, followers, and validation — and how God tore that idea down. Purpose isn’t arenas or accolades. It’s obedience in the “minuscule” moments. It’s smiling at someone on the BeltLine. It’s having 12 women fly in for a live taping and realizing impact isn’t about numbers — it’s about alignment. I also share the financial ups and downs, the fear of leadership, and how favor follows obedience — not ego.

This episode is about identity, surrender, community, and trying this again… but this time with Jesus.

In this episode, I’m recording my intro from the Bahamas on the FemmeLand cruise, getting ready to host a live LTTA podcast on the boat, and reflecting on the season I’m walking out of — what I call blind, blissful ignorance — and the season I’m walking into: spiritual sight and awareness. I talk honestly about what it means to finally see clearly — to see myself, to see others for who they truly are, and to confront the ugly parts in my own heart instead of pretending they’re not there.

Then I sit down with my sister Serayah McNeill, and we go deep. From being homeless right before booking Empire, to living in hotels, to breaking survival cycles, to navigating imposter syndrome, therapy, comparison, love, motherhood, and healing inside of a relationship — this conversation is raw, layered, and honest. We talk about shedding old identities, letting go of comparison, releasing self-inflicted pressure, and choosing purpose over performance. This episode is about moving from survival to thriving — and doing the inner work that makes the thriving sustainable.

In this solo episode, I get real about what it looks like to grow in private when nobody is clapping for you. I open up about being off social media for almost six months, bulk recording episodes, walking into meetings in my “raw” natural state, and realizing how much of my confidence used to be tied to validation. From sitting in a producer’s office questioning my slick-back bun and sauna sweats, to asking myself why I feel the urge to post every win, I had to confront whether I’m disciplined… or just addicted to applause.

I talk about replacing posting with journaling, prayer, and obedience. About not announcing the goal — just finishing. About fasting without telling anyone. About going to the gym at 6 a.m. with no camera. About letting God build me in the prayer room instead of on a platform. This episode is about moving in swift obedience, walking in true authority, and becoming the woman God called me to be — even when nobody sees it.

In this episode, I sit down with Ben Reilly and we talk honestly about what it really looks like to walk in your calling while still figuring life out. From navigating the pressure of being a full-time artist and the “what have you done for me lately?” mentality, to learning taxes, finances, and identity in the industry, this conversation is about staying grounded when the world keeps moving the goalpost.

We get into creativity beyond music — acting, directing, cooking — and how God can use every passion you have, not just the one people expect. Ben opens up about his relationship with his mom, church hurt, separating God from people, and choosing to create from authenticity instead of validation. This episode is a reminder that your journey doesn’t have to look polished to be powerful.

In this episode, I’m riding the high of just wrapping my first film — producing, co-directing, writing, and starring in an LTTA production — and reflecting on what it feels like to start something from a small seed and watch it grow. From DM’ing a creator I admired, to collaborating for six months, to standing on set with people like Pretty V, DC Young Fly, and Saraya, I talk about trusting your creativity, betting on yourself, and letting joy lead instead of pressure.

Then I sit down with Durelle and Samantha Bailey, a married couple whose story stopped me in my tracks. We unpack childhood trauma, abuse, anxiety, and trust — from Durelle surviving homelessness, family betrayal, and being institutionalized as a teenager, to Samantha growing up in a loving home while carrying silent stress and responsibility. Together, we talk about how two people from completely different backgrounds learned to communicate, heal, trust, and build a Christ-centered marriage rooted in peace instead of chaos. This episode is raw, emotional, funny, and deeply healing — especially if you’re navigating relationships, faith, or learning how to stay in your own lane.

In this solo episode, I get real about entering a new season by stripping everything back — from my hair, nails, and beauty routines to my finances, discipline, and faith. I open up about budgeting forcing me into my “natural girl era,” returning home to Dallas under difficult circumstances, and realizing that chasing purpose without balance can cost you time with the people who matter most.

I also share what God has been teaching me in solitude: staying off social media, building discipline in private, waking up early for the gym, and truly studying the Bible for myself — starting with the book of John. From the miracle of water turning into wine, to the reminder to “fill the barrels first,” to learning why obedience always comes before breakthrough, this episode is about letting go of old versions of yourself and trusting that when God restores something, it comes back better than before.
