    No Church in the Wild: How Depression Changed My Faith Forever

    I grew up in church. God was always the right answer. Mess up? God. Feel guilty? God. Need forgiveness? Quote a verse and reset. But depression changed everything. When my mental health started slipping, my faith didn’t disappear. My trust did. I didn’t feel guided. I didn’t feel covered. I didn’t feel held. And when I was struggling the most, I kept hearing the same thing: “You’re not praying hard enough.” In this episode, I talk openly about my fractured relationship with God. Not from a place of rebellion. From a place of honesty. I still believe in a Creator. I just don’t know what our relationship is anymore. This isn’t anti-God. It’s anti-performing faith. If you’ve ever felt abandoned in your darkest season… If your depression made you question what you were taught… If you believe but don’t feel connected… This conversation is for you. What We Talk AboutGrowing up in a Black Southern household where God was the solution to everythingHow faith sometimes felt like a spiritual reset buttonWhen depression made trust disappearThe “pray harder” narrative and how it damaged more than it healedWhy suffering in the Bible is accepted, but mental health struggles aren’tComparing my relationship with God to my relationship with my fatherWanting peace more than answersThe difference between believing in God and feeling held by HimWhy you shouldn’t force a version of faith that doesn’t match where you are emotionally It’s About DAMN TimeIt’s about DAMN time we stop forcing a relationship with God that doesn’t reflect where we actually are. Be honest about your faith. Be honest about your doubt. Be honest about your pain. Truth is not rebellion. It’s alignment. If This Episode ResonatedYou are not broken. You are not faithless. You are human. Share this episode with someone who doesn’t have the words yet. Let them know they’re not alone.

  2. Unfiltered: The Thoughts We’re Too Scared to Admit Out Loud (Featuring Kat P.)

    MAR 24

    Unfiltered: The Thoughts We’re Too Scared to Admit Out Loud (Featuring Kat P.)

    This week I’m joined by content creator, podcaster, and entrepreneur friend Kat P. We talked about what it really means to be “unfiltered” without being emotionally reckless. How overthinking shows up even when you look fearless online. Why content creation can turn into therapy before you ever step foot in therapy. And how being honest can free you… or burn the whole bridge down. It’s funny. It’s a little wild. It’s real. And somehow we still landed the plane. If you’ve ever held your tongue, edited yourself for comfort, or talked yourself out of living your life… this one’s for you. In This Episode, We Get IntoWhy both of us avoid going live and overthink everythingThe difference between being unfiltered and being emotionally recklessWhen honesty inspires people vs. when it hurts peopleContent creation as a diary, an outlet, and a form of survivalTherapy, avoiding therapy, and what finally pushes you to goWork life vs. real life and hiding your personality to keep a paycheckInternet trolls, clapbacks, and when it’s worth respondingThe consequences of “saying it with your chest”Doing it for the plot… and knowing when to chill It’s About DAMN Time SegmentKat’s take: stop thinking so much and do the thing. Get rejected. Get uncomfortable. Start over. Live anyway. Because life is already hard. You might as well enjoy it on purpose.

    I Should’ve Known By The Way You Kissed Me: We Ignore What We Already Know (Featuring Jhazzy Jhané Joiner)

    We’ve all had that moment. The one where something felt off… but we stayed anyway. In this conversation with Jhamyne “Jhazzy” Joyner, we unpack the difference between lust, love, and longing and the ways we ignore our own intuition in the moment. From intense chemistry and love bombing to slow burns and emotional awareness, this episode is about learning how to recognize what your body already knows. If it isn’t love… what is it? And more importantly...why do we keep choosing it? What We Get IntoThe difference between lust, love, and longingWhy intense chemistry can feel right—but still be wrongLove bombing vs. the slow burnMistaking physical intimacy for emotional connectionIgnoring red flags we definitely sawLearning to trust your intuition in relationshipsWhat it really means to “do it for the plot” (and why it backfires) It’s About DAMN TimeIt’s about damn time we listen to our intuition when it comes to love… and stop ignoring what we already know. About the GuestJhamyne “Jhazzy” Joyner is a poet, creative, and storyteller currently working on her upcoming poetry book, I Should’ve Known by the Way You Kissed Me, a project that explores lust, love, longing, and loss through lived experiences and reflection.

  4. Everybody Can’t Go: When You Grow and They Don’t

    MAR 10

    Everybody Can’t Go: When You Grow and They Don’t

    Growth sounds beautiful until it starts changing your circle.In this episode, I talk about the hard realization that everybody can’t go where you’re headed. Not because they’re bad people. Not because you hate them. But because you’re not the same person anymore. Inspired by a real conversation with my sister, I break down what it looks like when you’ve evolved… and the people around you haven’t. When nostalgia replaces vision. When loyalty starts costing you momentum. When you find yourself shrinking just to keep old relationships comfortable. This isn’t about cutting people off. It’s about recognizing when alignment has shifted. Because growth costs something. And sometimes… it costs access. If you’ve been feeling drained, frustrated, or out of place in rooms that used to feel like home, this one is for you. What We Talk AboutWhy growth changes your environment, not just your mindsetThe difference between loyalty and alignmentOutgrowing people you loveHow I walked away from my former podcast to build It’s About DAMN TimeWhen encouragement fuels you vs. when fear gets projected onto youWhy shrinking yourself is self-sabotageHow to shift access without making dramatic announcementsObserving your energy before and after certain interactions It’s About DAMN TimeIt’s about DAMN time you stop confusing history with destiny. It’s about DAMN time you stop shrinking to make other people comfortable. It’s about DAMN time you accept that growth changes who gets access to you. D.A.M.N. ChallengeIdentify one relationship you’re holding onto out of loyalty instead of alignment. Don’t cut it off. Just observe. Pay attention to your energy before and after interacting with that person. Notice what it does to your momentum. Notice what it pulls from you. Awareness first. Decisions later. Growth isn’t loud. It’s quiet. It’s lonely sometimes. But it’s necessary. And you don’t have to apologize for evolving.

  5. DAMN, Do I Even Like Me? I Need You to See Me So I Can See Myself

    MAR 3

    DAMN, Do I Even Like Me? I Need You to See Me So I Can See Myself

    This one sat in my notes for six months. I didn’t record it because I didn’t have the courage. Not because I didn’t have the words. This episode started with a logo. A conversation. A misunderstanding. And a video that may or may not have been about me. But that wasn’t the point. The point was the sting. The point was realizing that maybe I wasn’t being attacked. Maybe I was being exposed. Because what if the reason I’m always looking for applause, downloads, compliments, awards, and “you’re dope” messages… is because I don’t trust my own voice? What if I’ve been outsourcing my self-worth? In this episode, I sit with the uncomfortable question: Do I even like me? Not love. Like. We talk about: Seeking validation like it’s a dopamine hitDownplaying compliments while still needing themGiving so much to others that you feel valuableLiving in the future and never celebrating progressThe difference between liking yourself and loving yourselfShowing up for yourself as proof This isn’t a lesson. It’s not a clean five-step fix. It’s a confession. Because love doesn’t come before like. And maybe it’s about DAMN time we learn how to like ourselves first. It’s About DAMN Time SegmentIt’s about DAMN time I stop needing the cosign to believe I’m enough. D.A.M.N. ChallengeAsk yourself this week: Do I like me? If the answer is yes, name three real reasons. Not surface. Not cute. Real. If the answer is no… sit with that. No shame. Just honesty.

    What does it look like when you’re talented, proven, and STILL out here dodging opportunities? My friend Jada Durden pulled up for a real conversation about playing small. We talk about betting on yourself, imposter syndrome, anxiety, and why some of us will literally run away from paid work even when we’ve already earned the right to be in the room. Jada breaks down her whole journey. State job to blogging. Blogging to bylines. Social media to marketing manager. Shreveport to Lake Charles to New Orleans.

    Be Mufasa or Scar: Embrace Being the ‘Bad Guy’ in People’s Lives

    There comes a point where always being the hero starts costing you your life.In this episode, I talk about what it really means to always show up for everyone else — and what it’s taken from me over the years. For three years straight, I set goals. For three years straight, I missed most of them. It wasn’t laziness. It wasn’t lack of ambition. It was misdirected energy. I realized I was investing more time into saving other people than I was building the life I say I want. And when you’re always Mufasa in everyone’s story… you forget how to be yourself in your own. We talk about: The hidden cost of always being the dependable oneWhy reliability and accessibility are not the same thingThe guilt that keeps you stuck in “hero mode”How survivor’s guilt shaped my boundariesWhy being the “bad guy” might actually save your life There’s a difference between being kind and abandoning yourself. You can be the bad guy in someone’s story for a moment… or be the bad guy to yourself forever. It’s about DAMN time we stop confusing self-sacrifice with love. It’s About DAMN Time SegmentIt’s about DAMN time we stop being the bad guy to ourselves just to be liked. D.A.M.N. ChallengeChoose one moment this week to protect your time. No explanation. No over-justifying. No guilt spiral. Just choose you. Sit with the discomfort. Notice what doesn’t fall apart. y7hyFMu3Ji3bUwvrOXp8 📲 Connect with Me🔗 Follow me on all platforms: @DaWholeDamnShow 🎧 Follow It’s About DAMN Time: @ItsAboutDamnTimePod 💥 Cop the DAMN University merch right here → Shop now

  8. What’s My Why… Questioning Everything Was Just the Start

    FEB 10

    What’s My Why… Questioning Everything Was Just the Start

    Questioning Everything Was Just the StartThis wasn’t a planned episode. This was me hitting record because I couldn’t keep carrying everything in my head. Lately, I’ve been tired. Not just physically. Mentally. Spiritually. Creatively. And it had me asking some uncomfortable questions. About the podcast. About my direction. About whether I’m burned out or just done. Somewhere in all of that, one question kept coming back up: What’s my why? And maybe more importantly… is it even mine? In this episode, I talk through burnout, pressure, comparison, and the boxes we put ourselves in trying to be liked, understood, or validated. I don’t have a neat answer. I’m not teaching a framework. I’m just being honest about what it feels like to realize the way you’ve been moving no longer fits. If you’ve ever felt disconnected from something you once loved, or stuck trying to live up to expectations that aren’t really yours, this one’s for you. No perfection. No polish. Just a real moment in the middle of a shift. It’s About DAMN Time SegmentIt’s about damn time I stop moving for everyone else and start defining my why for myself. D.A.M.N. ChallengeTake some time this week to discover or rediscover your why. Not the one that sounds good. Not the one that makes other people comfortable. The one that actually belongs to you. Write it down. Sit with it. Let it change if it needs to. 📲 Connect with Me🔗 Follow me on all platforms: @DaWholeDamnShow 🎧 Follow It’s About DAMN Time: @ItsAboutDamnTimePod 💥 Cop the DAMN University merch right here → Shop now
