    If You Quit, Quit—But Don’t You Dare Complain

    Ever felt like you’re working your ass off, but everybody else is getting ahead while you’re stuck? Like no matter how much effort you put in, success still feels out of reach? In this episode ofTalkin’ Crazy, I get real about the frustration of feeling overlooked, the temptation to quit, and theone thing that separates winners from everybody elseshowing up.


    I break down my own struggles, from career setbacks to watching others succeed faster, and how I fought through the doubt, the envy, and the exhaustion.

    So if you’re feeling like quitting, listen to this first. Because your moment is coming—but you gotta be there for it. Tune in now and let’s talk about why youkeep showing up

    If You Don’t Like Your Story, Write a Better One

    In this episode of Talkin’ Crazy, we’re talking about one simple truth: you are the author of your life.

    I’ll share how to break free from limiting beliefs, take control of your narrative, and start creating a life that feels true to you. Your past doesn’t define you—it’s just a chapter, not the whole book. Tune in and let’s rewrite your story together!
