    Mental Health - EP 1 The Truth Starts Here
    Mar 27 2026
    This episode is different. This is where the truth starts. In this episode of Audacity Unscripted, I’m opening the door to conversations that most people avoid — the real, uncomfortable, honest ones about mental health, grief, love, and the things we don’t say out loud. After losing my brother, I’ve been forced to take a hard look at life, relationships, and the way we show up for the people we love. What I’ve realized is this: sometimes we all feel the same pain… but we sit in it alone. This episode is not about having all the answers. It’s about telling the truth. If you’ve ever questioned whether people truly understand you… If you’ve ever felt alone in your thoughts… If you’ve ever carried something you didn’t know how to say… This space is for you. This is the beginning of the Mental Health Series. And this… is where the real conversations start.

  • Ep. 12 - Standing with yourself in every season

    Ep. 12 - Standing with yourself in every season
    Mar 2 2026
    Some seasons look beautiful. Some look like you’re barely holding it together. In this episode, CJ talks about what it really means to stand with yourself — not just when you’re winning, glowing, and thriving, but when you’re rebuilding, unraveling, and figuring it out in real time. We live in a world that celebrates highlight reels and polished victories. But what about the wins that don’t look good? The ones that come after walking away, starting over, admitting you were wrong, or choosing growth even when it costs you comfort? This conversation explores the courage it takes to own your mistakes and your milestones, your strength and your vulnerability — and to refuse to abandon yourself in the “messy” seasons. You don’t have to broadcast your baggage to be real. You don’t have to be perfect to be proud. And you don’t have to wait for a glow-up to stand tall. Every season shapes you. The question is — will you stand with yourself while it does?

  • Ep. 11 - Pride in your voice

    Ep. 11 - Pride in your voice
    Feb 27 2026
    How many times have you said exactly what needed to be said… only inside your own head? In this episode, CJ explores the courage it takes to use your voice — not to dominate a room, not to argue for attention, but to stand confidently in who you are and what you believe. We don’t need to have a word in every situation. But sometimes the room you’re standing in is not random. Sometimes the conversation you walk up on is intentional. Sometimes your perspective is there for a reason. This conversation dives into the fear of speaking up, the difference between wasted energy and powerful energy, and the growth that comes from understanding that not everyone will agree with you — and that’s okay. You don’t have to be the most powerful person in the room to have a powerful voice. You don’t have to be loud to be heard. And you don’t have to be universally accepted to matter. If it helps one person, it mattered. If it strengthened you, it mattered. Your voice belongs in the room.

  • Ep. 10 - Finding yourself in Chaos

    Ep. 10 - Finding yourself in Chaos
    Feb 23 2026
    Chaos can feel like home when it’s all you’ve ever known. In this episode, CJ unpacks the complicated relationship we can develop with chaos — how it shapes us, how we survive through it, and the uncomfortable truth that sometimes we even feed off of it. Not because we’re weak, but because we want to be seen. This conversation dives into the difference between being pitied and being witnessed, the emotional addiction to drama that society quietly reinforces, and the courage it takes to step away from dysfunction — even when it once kept you alive. Life will always have levels of chaos. The question is: where do you draw the line? This is an honest reflection on growth, self-awareness, and choosing peace without shaming the past. You don’t need to broadcast your storms to prove you survived them. You just need to find yourself in the middle of them. You were never the chaos. You were the one enduring it.

    Ep. 9 - Still here with it
    Feb 22 2026
    In this episode, I sit with what most people try to escape — pain. We talk about staying with grief instead of rushing to closure. About what it means to live alongside anger and unanswered questions. About the weight of losing my brother and learning how to move through the world while still carrying him. This isn’t a tidy conversation about healing. It’s about sitting in the waves and choosing not to disappear. If you’re still here with something heavy, this one is for you.

    Ep.8 - Worthy - A Conversation About Self-Love and Believing You Deserve It
    Feb 16 2026
    So many people feel unloved — not because love isn’t present, but because they don’t believe they are worthy of it. In this heartfelt episode, CJ continues the conversation on love by turning inward. What happens when we internalize the belief that we are too much, not enough, or difficult to love? How does that belief shape the relationships we choose, the boundaries we set, and the way we speak to ourselves? This episode explores the courage it takes to believe you are worthy of love in all forms — from others and from yourself. Your value has never changed. Only the story about it has.

    Ep.7 Love is there (Even if you don’t see it) ❤️
    Feb 12 2026
    The last few episodes have been heavy, and I’m grateful for everyone who sat with me through the grief. But this space was never meant to live only in trauma. Today, we shift. This episode is about love — the quiet kind, the misunderstood kind, the kind that doesn’t always show up loud or perfect. We talk about how we were taught to love, how that shapes us, and how sometimes we don’t realize how deeply we are loved until we pause long enough to see it. This is about having the courage to be kind to yourself. To believe you matter. To recognize that even when you feel unseen, love is still here. And so are you.

    Ep. 4 - The courage to name what you are carrying
    Feb 9 2026
    You can’t move through life honestly if you never name what’s weighing you down. In this episode, I talk about mental load, emotional weight, anxiety, and the things we carry quietly because we don’t feel safe enough to say them out loud. This isn’t about fixing anything — it’s about acknowledgment, self-awareness, and the courage it takes to be truthful with yourself. If you’ve been holding more than you let on, this episode will resonate.
