I can be such an over thinker! Scared to articulate myself and feel as though silence is the better choice, the safer one. I honestly relate so so much to Rene, even down to the humour comment. A creative and an intellect here too! 🥺🙌🏾 As soon as I open up too people about these insecurities, they tell me they don’t get that impression from me which is interesting. My internal mental warfare will simmer in Jesus Name! Love you both and God bless you for what you do!
Same here; I could've written this. Time and introspection have pushed me to be more courageous - to present my true self and opinions for better or worse. And usually, it's for better - people agree or laugh etc. And even if they don't, my chest swells, my shoulders lift, because I showed courage in being myself.
Renee, soooo true regarding always performing, even in personal relationships! We think we're tirwd due to hustling etc, but we're also exhausted due to always masking and performing for others.
To sister who write the dilemma, Sis you only 20, you have time to learn what you like and know yourself more, I did my rebel years in 15 to 18, now I'm 35 single in Cali and I'm Muslim women too, and Yes those dating streets are 🗑 those days, don't worry focus on yourself and your education, when you not looking around that time comes your dream partner.
I was thinking the same thing about the dilemma. She's still young, she's having new experiences and she probably thought she might have those experiences with him like most of us do. She just needs to accept part of the growing up process and try and find the joy in the new experiences. I went through wanting some of my younger traits and one of older episodes actually mentioned that some of the older traits you want in yourself aren't actually relevant in your current age, which is something she might need to consider too
Hi sister, listened to this podcast months later and heart sank when I realized that the sisters had used my dilemma. crazy to look back at how I was feeling 6 months ago and now 1 year 2 months post break up how much more I have healed but doesn't mean healing stopped there. Thank you for advice, I am 20 and have been taking my time alone and experiencing life on my own, since then I have moved for two internships in two different parts of the world and travelled 5 more countries. Crazy that i never realized the blessing that were coming for me and how I had to reinvest my time in my sisterhood, family and platonic friendships. Courtney and Rene I just wanted to thank you for all you do and your advice, sending you love and prayers.
Authenticity is what I struggled with growing up as a teenager, the notion of not feeling good enough because I loved Literature, was passionate about writing and introverted. To this day, society is not always comfortable with people being who they are. Creative people are not always taken seriously. Being introverted is not always the norm especially if you are in a society that values being chatty. What helped me is to simply embrace who I am by admitting what I am drawn to which is creativity. Allowing myself to be me because authenticity brings genuine joy. Also, focus on the people who get who you are.
YES!!! Bring back the clubs! Who still watches the cartoon, Arthur (the Aardvark)? Who was obsessed with the Babysitters Club? Who wants to talk about personality typing or financial independence journeys?! Be obsessed with things, and do so with pride!
Powerful episode. "Am I in relationship with or for someone?" You both dropped BIG gems Wow. 44 y/o listener here. Praying for your continued success and self-development.
I just had to come on the comment section & laugh at Courtney’s “women in leadership” comment ( Sis, you know the one 👀😅) it caught me so off guard but please believe it’s the first laugh I’ve had all day and I absolutely needed that❤

I came from Spotify to say WE HAVE TO GO WATCH BLACK PANTHER 2 IN CINEMA AND DRESS UP TOO‼️ Listen I will get my UK visa READDYY y’all just say the word🤣 Wonderful episode ladies. Okay byyeee
I am Spotify listener and felt the need to move over here to tell you ladies I loved this episode so much💕. I feel like I am also going through this self-discovery journey especially being 21. All the points are brought up are so relatable. Sending love ❤ to yall!
I have been very huge in authenticity for years. However, in recent years, my actions and beliefs are conflicting with one another. How could I let it get this out of hand, or at all? It is both exhausting and I feel it is a betrayal against myself and my purpose.
We hear you sis. It can be very hard to address and identify that there's a gap in the first place, so kudos to you for having the self awareness to know that there is work to be done. Now, it's all about establishing the factors which are contributing to the conflict between your beliefs and actions, and working to merge the two. Don't be too hard on yourself - it happens, and simply means we must go through a period of re-adjustment to ensure there is synergy. Sending our utmost love and prayers, we have every faith in your success ❤
I just discovered this channel earlier this week, hello from New York! This episode spoke to my soul more than anything has in a while and was right on time. I went through a friendship breakup a couple years ago and it totally shaped the way I showed up in my relationships/friendships. I found myself trying to shrink and fit into other peoples boxes. I am re-claiming my power & personality AND TRULY accepting that I can NOT and will NOT be everyones cup of tea. The part about not allowing other peoples opinions to shape who you are or hold a certain weight will be engraved into my heart. Ladies, Sistas, thank you for this. Please keep going
Thanks for this video guys! Really speaking to me! I really feel like I lost myself , especially in wanting to always do things the right way for God! And I know it’s just my perspective to approaching things, it’s like I know what I want but also asking myself do I really know what I want? It’s a bit of a funny one, but I’m getting there 🙌🏾
Only 1 min in, and already dropping gems... Love your guys' work! I have been listening to the podcast for about a year and a half now, and it's been awesome to be on this growth journey with you 😁

Courtney, I too can never figure out whether we are first gen or second gen immigrants! Glad it's not just me who gets confused! 😂
Courtney, are you an ENTJ/P personality type? Your main challenges sound like it!

I decided to be unapologetic being a man. Feels hella freeing.
Everything has a cost, including freedom.
