Social Media Is Making Us Feel Behind

Ever scroll through social media and suddenly feel like everyone else is winning while you’re falling behind?

In this episode, we’re talking about the pressure social media can create to constantly compare our lives to everyone else’s highlight reel. From fake success and unrealistic lifestyles to the pressure to always post, achieve, and keep up, it’s easy to forget that what we see online is rarely the full story.

We’ll unpack why comparison can make us question our own progress, how the pressure to create content can become exhausting, and why sometimes the healthiest thing you can do is simply take a break.

Your timeline might make you feel behind—but that doesn’t mean you actually are.

The question is: When was the last time you compared yourself to someone online?

Take a breath. Step away from the scroll. And remember: your journey doesn’t have to look like anybody else’s.

🎙️ Why Do We Keep Starting Over? | Finding Your Purpose, Niche & Learning to Stay Consistent

Have you ever felt like you're constantly starting over?

A new job. A new relationship. A new business idea. A new fitness journey. A fresh financial goal. A renewed faith walk. Every time you gain momentum, life changes—or you change—and you're back at square one.

In this episode, I get honest about my own cycle of restarting and why it became a pattern in my life.

I share the story of taking long breaks from this podcast, launching new business ventures, trying to revive social media businesses, building my photography brand, and even starting a water ice business when I was just 10 years old. Looking back, I've realized I've always been someone with a lot of ideas, a lot of talents, and a desire to create—but I often struggled to stay focused on one path long enough to see it fully grow.

If you've ever felt like you're too multifaceted to fit into one niche, this conversation is for you.

We dive into:

• Why we keep starting over in life, business, and personal growth.
• The hidden lessons every new beginning teaches us.
• My journey of repeatedly restarting my podcast and creative projects.
• The challenge of being multi-passionate and having too many interests.
• Why finding a niche can feel overwhelming.
• Learning to stop chasing every opportunity and start building consistency.
• Discovering purpose through faith, personal growth, and self-awareness.
• How to focus on one thing without feeling like you're giving up every other part of yourself.

This episode isn't about having all the answers—it's about embracing the journey, trusting God's timing, and realizing that every restart has been preparing you for the life you're meant to build.

If you've ever questioned your purpose, struggled with consistency, or wondered why you can't seem to stick to one thing, I hope this conversation reminds you that you're not behind—you're becoming.

What if you don't actually need a vacation... because you're not burnt out?

What if you're grieving the version of your life you thought you'd have by now?

In this deeply honest solo episode of That's That On That Podcast, I unpack the difference between burnout and grief—the grief that comes from unmet expectations, delayed dreams, lost opportunities, broken plans, and watching life unfold differently than you imagined.

We live in a culture that tells us to "keep grinding," but sometimes what we're really carrying isn't exhaustion... it's disappointment. And until we acknowledge what we've lost, it's hard to rebuild what's next.

In this episode, we dive into:

    •    Why burnout and grief can feel almost identical

    •    The emotional weight of expectations vs. reality

    •    Learning to let go of timelines that no longer serve you

    •    How setbacks can become the foundation for a different, and sometimes better, future

    •    Rebuilding your identity after life doesn't go according to plan

If you've ever looked around and wondered, "How did I end up here?"—this conversation is for you.

🎙️ Spend Dat Sh*t Is Bigger Than Just a Song... | Music, Messaging & The CultureIs

"Spend Dat Sh*t" just a catchy anthem... or is it something much deeper?In this episode of That's That On That Podcast, we're diving into one of the most polarizing songs on the internet and the conversation that's dividing social media.

From the backlash surrounding India Arie's criticism to the passionate defense of the record by fans and fellow artists, we explore why this song has become much bigger than music.I break down why I believe the record is a musical banger—but a questionable message.

Can a song sound incredible while still promoting ideas that deserve criticism? Is there a difference between enjoying art and endorsing what it says?

We also unpack bigger questions:

• Is mainstream music shaping our culture—or simply reflecting it?• Why do certain messages get amplified through algorithms while others don't?• Are artists responsible for how their music influences young listeners?• Is music capable of subconsciously programming the way we think and behave?• Why are so many people offended when someone critiques a popular song?• Who benefits when destructive narratives become the soundtrack of a generation?• Are we witnessing entertainment... or something more calculated?

This isn't a hit piece on Young Miami, nor is it an attempt to tell people what they should listen to. It's an open conversation about influence, accountability, art, culture, and the choices we make as listeners.Whether you think it's simply a fun club record, a hood anthem, an escape from reality, or something far more concerning, this episode encourages you to look at both sides of the coin before deciding where you stand.At the end of the day, everyone has the right to their own opinion—and that's exactly what makes conversations like this worth having.👇

Join the conversation in the comments:• Is music really influential?• Can songs subconsciously shape our thoughts and behavior?• Is "Spend Dat Sh*t" harmless entertainment or a dangerous message?• Should artists be held accountable for the ideas they promote?• Do we need more balance in the music being pushed to our communities and the next generation?\

Let's have the conversation—with respect, honesty, and an open mind.🎙️

What happens when being yourself becomes a strategy instead of a reality?

In Episode 10, we dive into The Death of Authenticity Online—unpacking how filters, personal branding, curated identities, and performative behavior have reshaped the way we show up on the internet. From influencer culture to everyday social media habits, we explore the pressure to create a version of ourselves that's polished, marketable, and constantly "on."

Are we expressing who we really are—or simply performing for the algorithm?

In this episode, we discuss:

• Why filters have changed more than just our appearance
• How personal branding can blur the line between identity and performance
• The rise of performative authenticity and why it feels so convincing
• The hidden psychological cost of living for likes, validation, and engagement
• Whether genuine connection can still exist in a world built on curated content

If you've ever questioned what's real online—or even caught yourself performing for an invisible audience—this conversation is for you.

🎧 Tune in and ask yourself: In a digital world where authenticity has become content... what's left that's actually real?

In this episode, we explore the pressure to have life all figured out and the anxiety that comes with feeling behind. From career choices to personal growth, we're constantly told we should know exactly where we're headed. But what if uncertainty is actually part of the journey? Tune in for an honest conversation about letting go of unrealistic expectations, embracing growth, and trusting your own timeline.

Episode 8: The Middle Stage of Healing No One Talks About

Everyone talks about the glow up… but no one talks about the middle.

The uncomfortable in-between stage where you’ve outgrown your old life, but haven’t fully stepped into the new one yet. The loneliness. The confusion. The grieving. The rebuilding. The feeling of losing everything while secretly becoming who you were always meant to be.

In this episode, I’m opening up about the hidden side of healing and transformation — the “purgatory” phase that comes before clarity, peace, and purpose. We’re talking about having it all, losing it all, sacrificing comfort, starting over, and learning how to see the blessing inside the breakdown.

If you’re currently rebuilding your life, rediscovering yourself, or navigating a season of change, this episode is for you.

Your new life often begins after everything familiar falls apart.

🍜🎙️ | MUKBANG + 20 AUDIENCE QUESTIONS = CHAOS 😭🔥

This episode started as “just answering a few questions” and somehow turned into:
➡️ relationship therapy
➡️ life crisis confessions
➡️ exposing red flags we ALL ignored
➡️ chaotic listener DMs
➡️ hustle culture debates
➡️ me telling the story about how somebody allegedly put witchcraft on me ??? 😭

Yeah… this one gets REAL.

We’re talking about:
✨ healing
✨ closure
✨ protecting your peace
✨ why modern dating feels like psychological warfare
✨ soft life vs hustle culture
✨ the pettiest hills we’ll die on forever
✨ and whether people are actually emotionally aware… or just good at posting quotes online 👀

PLUS:
I answer 20 audience questions while absolutely destroying this food 🍗🍜😂

Some of the wild questions:
• “What’s the hardest truth you’ve had to accept about love?”
• “What’s a red flag you ignored that turned into a full circus?”
• “How do you stop missing someone you know isn’t good for you?”
• “What’s something normalized in dating today that’s actually toxic?”
• “Have you ever given advice you don’t even follow yourself?” 😭

This episode is funny, messy, reflective, slightly unhinged, and probably way too honest.
