Damn, where’d the time go?!?! This year marked 6 YEARS of podcasting.🎉🎙️

What started in a closet on an iPhone, with no mic, no computer, just an idea(no vision at the time)… has now reached 142 countries and 3,344 cities around the world.

I got into podcasting during one of the darkest times of my life. I was fighting depression, feeling lost, but knowing deep down that I wanted to help others avoid the pain I was navigating to help them find fulfillment in their lives. I used what I had and made no excuses.

The journey hasn’t been easy, but it’s been real, healing, and transformational.

And now, I’m stepping into a brand new chapter. This rebrand is more than a new look, it’s a reflection of the man I’ve become. The growth. The alignment. The impact.

To every supporter, listener, and person who ever shared an episode or encouraged me, THANK YOU🙏🏿. You’ve been a part of something bigger than just a podcast.

If you’ve been feeling that pull to start something, listen to it. That gut feeling is not lying.
Start messy. Start scared. Just start.
The doors that will open are unimaginable.

Here’s to the next chapter. 💥
Let’s keep building something that matters.

🔥 Transformation Thursdays | Burnout & Men’s Mental Health Awareness 🧠

Burnout is real. Emotionally, mentally, and physically. And far too many people are pushing through it in silence.

This Thursday at 7PM, I’m going LIVE to unpack the truth about burnout: what it looks like, how it shows up in our lives, and what we can do to start healing.

I'll also be honoring Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month, because men are often left out of the conversation, and that silence can be heavy.

Whether you’re feeling drained, stuck in survival mode, or supporting someone who is, this space is for you. Let’s talk about it, grow through it, and build forward together. 💬

📅 Thursday @ 7PM
📍 YouTube Live
👥 Share with someone who needs this

You don’t have to carry it all alone. Let’s normalize rest, healing, and showing up for ourselves. Can't wait to see you there.

You don’t have to wait for a breakdown to care for your mental health. Regular check-ins with yourself are an act of love, not weakness. Ask yourself today: Am I truly okay, or just functioning?

🧠 May is Mental Health Awareness Month 💚

This is your reminder that your mental health matters. It's not a weakness to ask for help, it's a strength. It's courage. It's healing.

Too often, we suffer silently, thinking we must carry it all alone. But let me tell you, it’s okay not to be okay. What’s not okay is staying there and doing nothing about it.

You deserve peace. You deserve support. You deserve to heal.

Take this month as a moment to check in with yourself and with others. Reach out. Talk to someone. Journal. Meditate. Go to therapy. Do whatever you need to start moving forward.

There’s no shame in prioritizing your mental well-being — it’s one of the most powerful things you can do for yourself and the people you love.

Let’s normalize healing. Let’s normalize growth. Let’s normalize asking for help.

You've got this. And you're not alone.

Last week I received the most exciting news. It was an email from Apple Podcasts informing me that my podcast had been selected and highlighted for Black History Month. This was a huge accomplishment because I had been trying to get featured for years. This came as a surprise to me because I hadn't tried to get featured in almost 3 months.

I want you all to use this as inspiration to continue going after something that you really want no matter what. In my next video, I will share my journey to get here and the importance of perseverance.

What's going on? I hope you've all had a great holiday season so far. I want to thank you all for subscribing and supporting me as I continue to release content. In 2024 I plan on increasing the quality and amount of videos I upload. I will stop doing videos for the podcast and keep it audio-only. You can subscribe everywhere that you find podcasts, search, "Diligent Minds" everywhere you find podcasts.
I'll be headed back to school this year as well to begin my journey of becoming a licensed therapist, so I'll be adding that to my plate and looking forward to the challenge. All in all, I will continue to focus on content to help you continue to become better in your lives by sharing my experience and wisdom that I've gathered along my journey.

I can't wait to continue to build a community with you and share more of what I have going on with you. Happy New Year to you and your family. Stay safe.
