From Atlanta’s Trap Museum to a quiet conversation with God, this episode is about survival, surrender, and everything in between.

I came home from culture, music, and community to a flu, a kidney infection, and a wake-up call. Somewhere between dehydration and overthinking, I realized I’ve been carrying backup plans for my backup plans trying to outthink the future before it arrives.

This is a conversation about anxiety that feels real, even when faith says trust.

About trauma that teaches you to control everything.

About transitions that don’t come with a full blueprint.

What do you do when you can’t see the whole picture?

What do you release when control has been your comfort?

What if it actually works out?

We talk gratitude as an anchor.

We talk reading to expand your worldview.

We talk Jesus, therapy, medication, and honesty.

We talk about learning to cast your cares instead of carrying them alone.

If you’re in between survival and surrender… this one is for you.

In this special episode of the Crazy Black Girl Podcast, I’m joined by my very first guest — my daughter, Naomi. We share a candid, heartfelt conversation about life, academics, entrepreneurship, and the lessons she’s learning as a young girl navigating her own path. She offers honest advice for girls her age, and I couldn’t be more proud or excited to have her on the mic with me. This episode is full of wisdom, love, and real talk you don’t want to miss.

In this episode, I share a personal experience about an opportunity I deeply wanted but didn’t receive and how that disappointment led me into a season of depression. Over time, I realized that what I wanted wasn’t what God had planned for me.

This conversation explores how missed opportunities can actually be moments of divine redirection, not rejection. We talk about trusting God’s timing, learning discernment, and understanding that preparation doesn’t always mean possession.

If you’ve ever questioned your worth because a door didn’t open, this episode is a reminder that God’s path may look different but it’s always purposeful and intentional.
