106 | Stop These Mindset Blocks to Finally Reach Your Wellness Goals

Hey Friends!
In today's episode, I want to take a look at why you may be struggling to reach your wellness goals, and it's not what you think, -- it's your mindset?
I get it. Life is busy. Maybe you’ve told yourself:
🕒 “I just don’t have the time to focus on my health right now.”💰 “Eating clean and switching to non-toxic products is too expensive.”💪 “I don’t have the discipline to stay consistent.”
I’ve been there too. I know how it feels to want to change but to also feel stuck in old patterns, doubting if it’s even possible.
But here’s the truth: Time, money, and willpower aren’t the real obstacles. Your mindset is. And once you shift your thinking, everything else starts to fall into place.
Today, I’m walking you through these mindset blocks that are keeping you from implementing a healthier lifestyle—plus how to reframe your thoughts, stay consistent, and finally see results. And the best part? You don’t have to do it alone.
So if you’ve been feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, or stuck, this episode is for you. Grab your tea, get cozy, and let’s have an honest conversation.

105 | Celebrating Black History: Past, Present & Beyond DEI

Hi Friends,
Black history is a global legacy of innovation, resilience, and belonging that continues to shape the world.
In this episode, I share my perspective on how our impact as African- Americans extends far beyond DEI initiatives, from ancient African civilizations and Black biblical figures to modern-day pioneers whose contributions are woven into history, society, and culture. I also share my journey of discovering Black identity while living in Libya and Nigeria, and how that sense of belonging still resonates today.
Join me as we explore the global influence of Black history, the power of faith, and the resilience that defines us. Plus, I’ll leave you with a thought-provoking question and a word of encouragement to carry forward.

103 | Super Bowl Commercial Shockwave: Who Wins, Who Loses and How You Can Take Back Control of Your Health

Cheers Health-Conscious Fans,
In this episode, I’m unpacking a Super Bowl commercial that made me pause—not for its creativity, but for its message about our health. It called out America’s obesity crisis and the system that profits from keeping us sick. But was it really exposing the truth, or was it just another strategic marketing play?
At first, I thought—finally, someone’s addressing the real issue! But then, I saw the catch. The ad wasn’t just revealing a problem; it was setting us up for another quick-fix solution.
💡 So let’s break it down:🔥 Who really wins in this $160 billion weight loss industry🔥 Why the system isn’t broken—it’s designed to keep us dependent🔥 How you can take control of your health instead of playing by their rules
The good news? You don’t have to keep falling into their trap. You can step away from the cycle, make informed choices, and take back control of your health—on your terms.
