Let's Try This Again with B. Simone

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.

In this episode, I sit down with actor Shannon Wallace, and we have one of the most raw, honest conversations I’ve had on this podcast. We talk about grief, losing his younger brother to gun violence, finding healing through art, and how acting became a place where he could release emotions he couldn’t always express in real life. Shannon opens up about relationships, boundaries, faith, truth-seeking, therapy, and why peace — not validation — is his priority in this season. This episode is about timing, truth, grief, obedience, and trusting God even when the detour doesn’t make sense.

In this episode, I sit down with comedian and actor Na'im Lynn, and we get real about relationships, fatherhood, emotional maturity, and the difference between confidence and insecurity. Na'im shares powerful insights on raising a daughter, co-parenting with intention, protecting children emotionally, navigating friendships, dating with honesty, and why validation, assumptions, and insecurity can quietly sabotage relationships. We also dive into his journey working with Kevin Hart and Tyler Perry, how opportunities truly come full circle, and why staying grounded matters more than fame.

This conversation is thoughtful, funny, and deeply human — especially for anyone learning how to set boundaries, communicate better, heal childhood wounds, and grow into the next version of themselves.

In this episode, I’m stepping into 2026 with a new perspective — one rooted in healing, reconnection, and intention. I share why this season is about watering relationships, reconnecting with family and old friends, and truly loving people while we still have time. As I reflect on loss, growth, and maturity, I talk honestly about how therapy, faith, and rededicating my life to Christ have shifted what actually matters to me now.

Then I sit down with my brother Emmanuel Hudson, and we go deep into faith, obedience, and what it really looks like to rededicate your life to God. Eman shares powerful moments from his journey — from reading the Bible for himself for the first time, to understanding God’s character through Scripture, to standing firm in his convictions in Hollywood by refusing to compromise his faith. This conversation is raw, funny, convicting, and full of truth about choosing obedience, reading the Word for yourself, and waking up spiritually in a world full of distractions.

In this episode, I open up about my word for 2026 — Divine Assignment — and how this season isn’t about chasing platforms, money, or validation, but aligning every gift God gave me with His purpose for my life.

I get real about fear, starting again after disappointment, and why past failures can’t be the reason we stop trying. From launching the LTTA app after losing nearly $40,000 the first time, to building discipline through uncomfortable habits like ice baths, I break down grace vs. discipline, why you can’t bully yourself into growth, and how trying again — slowly, consistently, and privately — is what creates real transformation. If you’re entering 2026 feeling nervous, hopeful, or unsure of your next step, this episode is your reminder that you still have time, purpose, and another chance to try again.

In this episode, I reflect on closing out the year grounded in family, faith, and obedience, and why my dad’s sermon reminded me that with God, we don’t just get one do-over — we get endless grace.

I talk honestly about overgiving, discernment, and how sometimes helping people without boundaries can actually hurt us more than it helps them.

Then I sit down with Funny Marco, and our conversation goes everywhere it needs to go — from gratitude and breaking generational cycles, to neurodivergence, parenting, empathy, money, and purpose. Marco shares raw stories about growing up with very little, losing his father young, learning how to be a present dad, and why he believes gratitude, not money, is what keeps him grounded. This episode is real, funny, uncomfortable, and deeply human — the kind of conversation that makes you stop and re-evaluate how you love, give, and show up in the world.

In this episode, I open up about my own transition into a new season — from changing my name online to walking confidently in who God says I am. I share the real story behind that viral “10 minutes with Jesus vs. a trillion dollars” moment, and why it was never about choosing money over Jesus, but choosing relationship over a one-time encounter .

Then, my girl Jade Godbolt joins me, and we dive deep into healing, obedience, marriage, covering, and the painful but beautiful journey of letting go of the old versions of ourselves. Jade shares intimate pieces of her testimony — from rebuilding trust after infidelity, to losing followers after laying her “lipstickandcurls” identity at God’s feet, to how God restored her joy, her peace, and her entire household piece by piece .

In this episode, I open up about why changing my TikTok name to Braelyn Greenfield had the internet spiraling, and I finally break down the truth behind that viral clip where everyone swore I picked “a trillion dollars over Jesus.” I explain why my faith sees daily intimacy as more valuable than a one-time 10-minute moment — and how scripture backs the heart behind what I said, even if the internet missed the theology behind it .

Then, my guest Nzinga Imani joins me, and we dive deep into confidence, body image, identity, and the moments in life that force you to grow. She shares everything — from getting called “humongous” by her nephew, to navigating plus-size roles in Hollywood, to losing everything in a house fire and rebuilding her entire life and career from scratch. Hearing how she survived a toxic relationship, became a caretaker, overcame church hurt, and still found the courage to pursue acting, music, and entrepreneurship is nothing short of inspiring
