  • 63. Honor Your Commitment (Part 1)
    Welcome to Episode 63 of The Be Yo’self Podcast. This week we talked about honoring our commitment to ourselves and what that actually looks like. The idea for this week’s episode came about when I was in the gym on the treadmill and I had just took a Instagram story of the 15 minute mark. A few seconds later I started to get fatigued and eventually started to question the commitment I made to myself before getting on the treadmill, and that was that I would workout for 30 minutes. As self doubt (undercover doubt) settled in, I instantly thought “I always honored my commitment to other’s, so why not honor my commitment to myself?” The end goal of what honoring my commitment to myself would look like inspired and pushed me to finish the workout. Truth is this message can be applied to all areas of our lives that we made commitments to ourselves to improve, but never did. And Oh! You thought I’d forget to mention that I missed last week’s episode, Of Course I wouldn’t forget. I’m well aware that I broke the consistent weekly upload streak. So, guess what I did? I recorded a collection of 2 episodes. That’s right! This is 1 of 2 I’ve recorded. When you’re done listening to Part 1, go and check out part 2. Enjoy this week’s episode(s).

  • 62. Here’s Why You Should Dream Big Again
    Welcome to Episode 62 of The Be Yo’self Podcast. This week we’re talking about our innate God given ability to dream and use our imagination. We discussed how many of us stop dreaming as we get older, we sometimes stray away from who we are and chase after things outside of our identity and also we sometimes retreat to dreaming small when dreaming big becomes overwhelming because of the work we’re required to put in to make it a reality. We talked about all of these things and how we can change them. Enjoy todays episode.

  • 61. Inspiration From Within
    Welcome to Episode 61 of The Be Yo’self Podcast. This week we’re talking about inspiration from within. We are so use to only being inspired by things outside of ourselves. Mainly because our lives never truly lined up to where we envisioned of being. Hence we look outside of ourselves for inspiration. Which is not a bad thing at all but in today’s episode we talk about how to balance being inspired by others and being inspired by our own lives. I also broke down the idea of perspective and seeing our own lives through the right lens instead of seeing it through the lying lens. And lastly, we discussed how to stay grounded and content. Enjoy today’s episode and invite a friend to engage with this week’s episode as well.

  • 60. The Pressure Is Too Much
    Welcome to Episode 60 of The Be Yo’self Podcast. Yes, I said it, episode 60. In this week’s episode we talk about pressure. The pressure to succeed, meet the expectations of others, win, fit into culture and society etc. I also shared stories of how I navigated unwanted pressure. I shared these stories and pointers that I’ve garnered through self reflection in hopes of helping you to identify pressure, acknowledge it, look it in the face and work through it. For some of you, once you’ve identified in which area of your life that pressure is being applied, may have to go beyond just listening to this episode. I don’t know exactly how that may look for you. It may be prayer, joining a church, finding a positive community or even visiting a therapist to walk you through your journey. Enjoy today’s episode and be sure to send it to some of your closest friends.

  • 59. The Extreme Narratives (Part 2)
    Welcome to Episode 59 of The Be Yo’self Podcast. In this week’s episode we go deep. I talk about the need for media wanting our attention, and how being pulled into narratives and philosophies affects us as a generation. In today’s culture and society everyone is just screaming at each other and going crazy over their extreme opinions. With this episode I try my best to encourage the listeners to take long periods of time to construct an opinion if needed, Have conversations with their inner circle about important topics, being confident in your complex opinions, decreasing the amount of time you listen to narrative driven media and many more. My hope is that you would join the conversation with an open mind and leave with a breath of fresh air and perspective. Enjoy todays episode. (Part 2)

  • 58. The Danger Of Subscription
    Welcome to Episode 58 of The Be Yo’self Podcast. This week I dive into something that has been keeping people stuck for generations. And yes, I am aware of my youth and I may not be allowed to speak about generational bondage. The way my generation has been brought up, the clichés we’ve been taught and the things we face and suffer from; exposes what past generations have been wrestling with. And that is subscription. Subscribing to the status quo, subscribing to what people said you couldn’t do and subscribing to past failures. This episode is not to box people in based on a generation they’ve been born in, but to break people free of subscribing to things that hinder them from succeeding and accomplishing their goals and dreams. Share this episode with a friend and enjoy.

  • 55. Unique Agitation
    Welcome to Episode 55 of The Be Yo’self Podcast. This week’s episode is inspired by Dr. Dharius Daniels; he preached a message called “This doesn’t fit”. This message was so encouraging and impactful to me. Although the whole message was fire, when he started talking about unique agitations, I had to share it with you guys. This part of the message helped me and affirmed my purpose in life, and my hope is that this podcast episode does the same for you. Enjoy today’s episode and share with a friend.
