In this episode, I share my personal journey from being a regular Beyoncé fan to spending hours watching lore on her music! 

On my drive to Houston for her concert, I dove deep into her entire discography, reflecting on how it took her nearly 10 albums to truly perfect her storytelling.

 I share how, for a long time, I felt Beyoncé was holding back, and how Cowboy Carter finally unleashed the full power of her artistry. Then, I give a recap of the concert experience, sharing the moments that stood out and how the album and live show connected for me on a whole new level.

Whether you’re a longtime fan or just curious about Beyoncé’s evolution, join me for this honest and heartfelt look at her music, her growth, and the magic of seeing her live.

Being multi-passionate doesn’t mean being undisciplined. But I had to learn that the hard way.

In this episode, I share what really happened when I devoted 30 days straight to making music. It changed everything. 

I realized I’ve spent years giving up too soon—on music, on art, on myself. Not because I didn’t want it, but because I wasn’t staying through the messy middle. I thought desire was enough. It’s not. Devotion is what makes the difference.

This isn’t about overnight success or going viral. It’s about the quiet work you do when no one’s watching. The kind of work that rewires your mindset, builds trust with yourself, and turns your dream into something real.

🔑 In This Episode:

• Why “just follow inspiration” was keeping me stuck
• The shift from dabbling to devoting
• Why showing up—even when no one’s watching—is everything
• What it actually looks like to treat your art like a career
• How 30 days of doing revealed the mindset keeping me small
