In this episode, I welcome back Samia—the vibrant creator behind Sexual Essentials, Not Just Another Sex Podcast, and The Art Exhibit—for an honest, raw, and refreshing conversation about reinvention, resilience, and redefining success. Known for her bold takes and fearless transparency, Samia returns in a new light as The Bankrupt Millionaire, sharing the powerful story of what it means to lose everything—and gain yourself.

We also discuss:

💸 Why she walked away from successful platforms and content creation
🧠 The mental toll of pretending everything’s fine when it’s not
🔥 What “Bankrupt Millionaire” really means—and how joy became the goal
📉 The myth of success and why transparency is a revolutionary act

Samia gets real about navigating the messy middle—the part no one talks about—and offers encouragement for anyone questioning their next step. This episode is for the folks at a crossroads, for those who feel like they’re starting over (again), and for anyone learning to trust themselves in the process.

We also discuss:

💰 What it really looks like to pay off 7 figures of debt
🧠 Why mindset is the biggest barrier to wealth building
💸 Practical steps to stop surviving and start thriving financially
👩🏾‍⚕️ Navigating money as a working mom and healthcare professional

In this episode, I sit down with Brittany Broaddus-Smith—a Christian sexologist and the bold, brilliant founder of The Intimacy Firm—for an eye-opening conversation at the intersection of faith, sexuality, and healing. We dive into taboo topics often brushed aside in the church, including the legitimacy of soul ties, the emotional confusion they can bring, and why over-spiritualizing these concepts can cause more harm than good. Brittany keeps it all the way real, offering clarity, nuance, and a path to healing that doesn’t require abandoning your faith.

We also explore how millennials are redefining their relationship with the church, why many are stepping away, and what it would take to bring them back. Brittany shares her thoughts on creating church spaces that support open conversations about sexuality, pleasure, and identity—with no judgment attached.

We also discuss:

💒 What it means to be a Christian sexologist
🧠 The truth about soul ties and spiritual-emotional connections
🙅🏽‍♀️ Why shame has no place in sex or faith
📉 The church’s disconnect with millennials and Gen Z

If you’ve ever felt torn between your faith and your sexuality—or if you’re just curious about what it looks like to embrace both without compromise—this episode is for you.
