  1. I’m Not Scared of Them…I’m Scared for Them What Do We Even Tell Them?

    4D AGO

    I’m Not Scared of Them…I’m Scared for Them What Do We Even Tell Them?

    This wasn’t the episode I planned to record. It’s late. I’m tired. Life is life right now. Then I got a message from my cousin about his daughter graduating… and it got me thinking. What do we actually say to this next generation? Not the usual advice. Not the clichés. Not the “follow your dreams” speech. Because if we’re being honest… we’ve never seen a world like this before. In this episode, I wrestle with that question in real time. What can we teach them? What do we even know for sure? And why does letting them figure it out feel so damn hard? This is for the parents. The aunties. The uncles. The older cousins. Anybody trying to guide someone… while still figuring it out themselves. And to the Class of 2026… We love you. We got you. Even when we don’t have the answers. In this episode: Why advice doesn’t hit the same anymoreThe fear we don’t say out loud about the futureLetting go of control as a parent and as familyWhat support really looks like nowWhy your actions matter more than your words 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. Sit Down Somewhere...Why You’re Burned Out and Won’t Let Yourself Rest

    APR 28

    Sit Down Somewhere...Why You’re Burned Out and Won’t Let Yourself Rest

    Sometimes the most productive thing you can do… is nothing. This wasn’t planned. No outline. No script. Just me being honest about something I don’t always get right… rest. I went into this week thinking I needed to travel, be outside, create content, stay consistent, and “make the most” of my time off. My body said nah. So I listened. In this episode, I’m talking about what it really looks like to slow down when everything in you is telling you to keep going. The guilt. The fear. The voice in your head saying you’re about to fall off if you stop. And the realization that maybe… you’re not unmotivated. You’re just tired. What we get into:The difference between being tired and being depressedWhy rest feels uncomfortable when you’re used to being in survival modeHow “time off” can still lead to burnout if you don’t actually slow downThe fear of losing momentum when you stopWhy your body will force you to sit down if you don’t choose to It’s About DAMN Time:It’s about damn time you stop negotiating your rest. Not two hours. Not “after I finish this one thing.” Not when everything is perfect. If you’re tired… sit down somewhere. D.A.M.N. Challenge:Pay attention to your body this week. If you know you’re tired, don’t push through it just to prove something. Don’t dress up exhaustion as discipline. Rest until you actually feel recharged… then get back to it.

  3. I Don’t Know How to Let Go...The Cost of Always Being the Strong One

    APR 21

    I Don’t Know How to Let Go...The Cost of Always Being the Strong One

    This week started with TikTok ads about male kegels, beet root, and supplements promising better performance. I thought I was about to record a “grown” episode. But the more I sat with it, the more I realized… this isn’t about sex. It’s about the fact that I don’t know how to relax. I don’t know how to let go. I’ve been “on” for so long, my body forgot how to turn off. And it’s showing up everywhere. In my sleep. In my stress. In my body. And yeah… in my sex life too. This episode is for the people who carry the weight for everyone else and forgot how to carry anything for themselves. If you’ve ever been the strong one, the dependable one, the one everybody leans on… this one is for you. What we get into:Why this isn’t really about sex or performanceHow being “always on” shows up in your bodyThe difference between resting and just pausingWhy pleasure feels like pressure when you can’t let goHow stress quietly runs your life if you don’t check it It’s About DAMN Time:It’s about damn time I stop treating rest like a reward… and start treating it like a requirement. D.A.M.N. Challenge:This week, don’t try to fix anything. Just notice where you’re holding tension. Your shoulders. Your chest. Your stomach. Your breath. Then do one small thing to relax. Not perfect. Not deep. Not life-changing. Just one win. Take the bath. Go to bed early. Sit still for a minute. We’re not chasing home runs. We’re stacking small wins. 📲 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

    I Quit the Job Everybody Wanted: Why Staying Was Costing Me (Featuring Arylle Young)

    What happens when the job looks good on paper… but feels wrong in your body? This week, I’m sitting down with Arylle Young to unpack a post that stopped me mid-scroll: “I quit the job everybody wanted.” At first, it sounded bold. Brave. Maybe even reckless. But this conversation turned into something deeper. We talked about: The quiet tension of staying somewhere that drains youThe lie we tell ourselves about “security”Why quitting without proof of concept is dangerousThe difference between choosing your passion and choosing yourselfScarcity mindset vs. intentional transitionWhy you can’t analyze your way into entrepreneurship This isn’t a “burn it all down” episode. It’s about the internal math. The emotional cost. The identity split of holding on to two worlds at once. If you’ve ever thought: “I know this isn’t where I’m supposed to be… so why am I still here?” This one’s for you. In This Episode:When “stable” starts feeling like a trapWhy one of your identities eventually has to dieThe danger of romanticizing entrepreneurshipHow to build revenue before you make the leapWhy service — not ego — drives incomeWhat I’m still wrestling with in my own career It’s About DAMN TimeIt’s about damn time we stop glorifying quitting… and start asking what staying is costing us.

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

    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.

  6. 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.

  8. 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.
