On this episode of Still Becoming, I dive into one of the most important — and invisible — parts of healing: the way we talk to ourselves.

After stepping away from basketball, my inner voice turned against me. Doubt, fear, and shame took over — and I didn’t even realize how loud it had become. This episode is all about recognizing that inner dialogue, learning to reframe it, and slowly building a voice that supports rather than destroys.

From personal stories to practical tools, this one’s real, raw, and a reminder that how we speak to ourselves matters more than we think.

He takes listeners inside the raw, confusing weeks that followed — where identity, purpose, and self-worth all came into question.

With brutal honesty and deep vulnerability, this episode explores grief, isolation, and the long, non-linear path toward healing — and how one book, a supportive coach, and quiet reflection helped light the way forward.
