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

    2D AGO

    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

  2. Ain’t Nobody F*cking With My Clique (And That’s the Problem)

    Ain’t Nobody F*cking With My Clique (And That’s the Problem)

    Everybody talks about loyalty.Nobody talks about growth.In this solo episode, I freestyle my way through a realization I’ve been avoiding for a while. The people you’re closest to might not be the people helping you move forward. And that doesn’t make them bad people. It just means your life has shifted. I break down why trying to get everything from one group will burn you out, how over-pouring into others can stall your own progress, and why it’s okay to build different cliques for different parts of your life. This isn’t about cutting people off. It’s about getting honest about what you need. Because loyalty without growth eventually turns into resentment. And it’s about damn time we talked about that. In this episode, I get into:Why being the “captain” of your clique can quietly hold you backThe difference between pouring into people and being pulled upWhy you don’t need one clique. You need the right onesHow your environment impacts your motivation, discipline, and goalsThe mistake I keep making with the relationships that actually push me forwardWhy balance beats grind culture and comfort every time It’s About DAMN Time SegmentIt’s about damn time you stop expecting one group of people to meet every need in your life. The D.A.M.N. ChallengeThis week, identify the cliques you actually need. Not who you’ve been loyal to. Not who’s always around. Who makes you better? For me, that’s: A fitness cliqueA creative cliqueA fun, blow-off-steam clique Figure out yours. Then start watering the right relationships. If this episode had you thinking about your circle, your growth, or your balance, share it with someone who might need to hear it too. Let’s build better environments. Let’s get 1% better every day. 📲 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

  3. Everybody Can’t Have Me Right Now: Overextending Is Costing Us Everything

    JAN 13

    Everybody Can’t Have Me Right Now: Overextending Is Costing Us Everything

    You ever think you’re burned out… but realize you’re just exhausted from being available to everybody but yourself? Yeah. That part. In this episode, I’m coming back from a short hiatus and telling the truth about why rest didn’t actually feel like rest. It wasn’t burnout. It was overextension. Too many conversations. Too much access. Too much proving love by showing up at the expense of my own goals. We talk about the difference between consistency and over-availability, how poor boundaries turn other people’s urgency into your emergency, and why this season of building requires less access to me and more commitment to myself. This isn’t about cutting people off. It’s about finally choosing yourself without guilt. 🧠 Topics we get into:Why burnout isn’t always the real problemHow overextending for others drains your purposeThe lie we tell ourselves about “being consistent”Why availability is not the same as loveSetting boundaries without over-explaining yourselfChoosing your goals without feeling like the villain ⏱️ Episode Highlights:“Everybody’s urgency became my emergency”Why helping everyone else kept me stuckThe cost of proving love through accessWhy this season requires less of them and more of me 💬 It’s About DAMN Time Segment:It’s about damn time I limit access to pursue the goals and dreams I actually want and need. 🎯 D.A.M.N. Challenge:Identify one place where you’re overextending yourself this week. Pull back without explanation. No long story. No justification. Just do it. See how it feels. If this episode hit home, don’t just listen. Share it. Post it in your stories. Send it to someone who needs permission to choose themselves. That’s how you help me keep this thing moving. 📲 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

In this conversation, I’m joined by Medina Henry, and we break down why doing “everything right” still doesn’t work when your nervous system is fried. This isn’t about willpower.
