Leadership isn't just about the position you hold. It's about the lives you impact along the way.

In this episode, I'm sitting down with my friend, Kelli Williams, for an honest conversation about leadership, purpose, public service, and the power of community. We talk about what inspired her to step into politics, the lessons she's learned throughout her journey, the challenges she's overcome, and why serving others continues to be at the heart of everything she does.

Whether you're leading in your career, your home, your business, or your community, I hope this conversation reminds you that true leadership begins long before the title. I pray you leave this episode feeling encouraged to lead with purpose, show up authentically, and make an impact right where you are.

In this episode of The Style & Grace Podcast, I sit down with my high school friend, CJ Davis, for a heartfelt conversation about healing, heartbreak, vulnerability, and the journey of self-discovery.

We discuss his new book, Who Hurt You: A Heartbreak Guide, and the experiences that inspired him to write it. CJ opens up about navigating betrayal, learning how to sit with difficult emotions, and challenging the idea that silence and emotional suppression are signs of strength. We also talk about masculinity, emotional wellness, and why so many men struggle to express what they are feeling. 

Our conversation goes beyond relationships and explores what happens when life forces you to slow down and confront yourself. CJ shares how a major health diagnosis shifted his perspective, helping him embrace gratitude, presence, and a deeper understanding of what true healing looks like.

Whether you are recovering from heartbreak, navigating a difficult season, supporting someone you love, or simply learning how to give yourself grace, this episode offers honest reflections and practical wisdom on turning pain into purpose.

It is about having the courage to face what hurts and allowing that process to transform you.

This episode was inspired by something I heard Ms. Lauryn Hill share during her acceptance speech at the BET Awards. Her words challenged me to think about how often we sell ourselves short, and I knew I had to bring that conversation to the podcast. As we step into the second half of the year,I'm talking about overcoming fear, letting go of perfectionism, trusting the gifts God has placed inside of us, and making the next six months count. If you've been feeling behind, discouraged, or hesitant to take the next step, this conversation is for you. My prayer is that this episode reminds you to stop waiting, stop doubting yourself, and start walking boldly in your purpose—because someone is waiting on the gift that's inside of you.

This episode was inspired by a powerful conversation Irecently listened to on The Mel Robbins Podcast featuring author and researcher Daniel Pink. In theirdiscussion, they explored the findings of the World Regret Survey, which analyzed more than 26,000 regrets from people across 134 countries, revealing how regret shapes our lives and, more importantly, how we can move beyond it.

As I listened, I found myself reflecting on my own lifeand the moments where I've wondered, "What if?" or "If only Ihad..." This episode became an opportunity for me to explore what regret really means, how it can keep us stuck, and how it can also become one of our greatest teachers.

In this conversation, I'm sharing the four core types ofregret, the lessons that regret can teach us, and practical ways to stop dwelling on the past and start taking action toward the future. Together, we'll talk about healing, growth, forgiveness, missed opportunities, and the importance of focusing on what happens next instead of what already happened.

If you've ever found yourself replaying old decisions,carrying disappointment, or wondering whether it's too late to make a change, this episode is for you.

You can't change what happened, but you can change whathappens next.

In this episode, I’m talking about what it really means to pitch yourself. I’m sharing a moment that took me back to when I was part of TMCBA, the Marc Coley Business Academy, where we had accountability calls and practiced 30-second pitches. That stayed with me. Recently, I stepped out, trusted myself, and walked into a room and pitched me. No overthinking, just showing up and being clear about my value. And it led to an opportunity.

If you’ve ever questioned what you bring to the table, this episode is your reminder that sometimes you don’t wait for a seat… you create the table.

In this episode, I’m talking about something that really sat with me. I came across Neace Robinson and her song that’s been going viral, and what most people are just now seeing took her over seven years of consistency, showing up, and believing in herself.

I went down a rabbit hole and realized she’s been singing and pushing this same song for years, even when nobody was paying attention. And now, doors are opening for her with brands like the NFL, Planet Fitness, Tru Fru, and more.

It really made me reflect on my own journey.

Sometimes we get discouraged when things don’t happen fast, or when people don’t understand what we’re doing. But this was a reminder for me, and for you, that all it takes is one yes. One moment. One opportunity.

So in this episode, I’m encouraging you to keep going, even when it doesn’t look like it’s working yet.

And most importantly…

1, 2, 3… release em.

Release the doubt.
Release the fear.
Release the opinions.

And keep going until you see what you saw.

In this episode of The Style and Grace Podcast, I share a reflection that really blessed me while reading Luke 14 and the parable of the Great Banquet. It made me think about how easy it is to say we trust God while still trying to figure everything out on our own. Sometimes the things that distract us aren’t bad things, they’re just the responsibilities and pressures of life. But this passage reminded me that God is still extending the invitation for relationship and trust. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed or like you’re trying to carry everything yourself, this conversation is for you.
