What does it really mean to MASTER your life?

This week, I’m joined by the incredible Keke Palmer—a true force in entertainment and beyond. Keke has lived a life many dream of, but her story isn’t just about the fame or the accolades. It’s about resilience, family, and becoming the master of her own narrative. From childhood stardom to tackling some of life’s hardest challenges, Keke opens up like never before. Her vulnerability will inspire you, and her insights will equip you to take control of your own life, no matter where you are today.

Keke and I explore what it means to rise above trauma, self-doubt, and external expectations. She shares how she transformed hardships into stepping stones and took charge of her journey, refusing to be defined by her circumstances or the perceptions of others. We dive into the importance of self-awareness and why your narrative—not someone else’s—shapes your destiny.

We also unpack the pressures of perfectionism and how waiting for “the right time” can cripple your dreams. Keke reveals how trial and error—not perfection—led her to success, and why being real with yourself is the foundation of true happiness.
