Let's Try This Again with B. Simone

In this episode, I’m riding the high of just wrapping my first film — producing, co-directing, writing, and starring in an LTTA production — and reflecting on what it feels like to start something from a small seed and watch it grow. From DM’ing a creator I admired, to collaborating for six months, to standing on set with people like Pretty V, DC Young Fly, and Saraya, I talk about trusting your creativity, betting on yourself, and letting joy lead instead of pressure.Then I sit down with Durelle and Samantha Bailey, a married couple whose story stopped me in my tracks. We unpack childhood trauma, abuse, anxiety, and trust — from Durelle surviving homelessness, family betrayal, and being institutionalized as a teenager, to Samantha growing up in a loving home while carrying silent stress and responsibility. Together, we talk about how two people from completely different backgrounds learned to communicate, heal, trust, and build a Christ-centered marriage rooted in peace instead of chaos. This episode is raw, emotional, funny, and deeply healing — especially if you’re navigating relationships, faith, or learning how to stay in your own lane.Please leave a review , if this episode spoke to you!For exclusive bonus content, behind-the-scenes vlogs, a place connect with the LTTA FAM plus more, join the LTTA app community at LTTA.app and unlock your invite today!Audio Fam, since you listen to the audio every Monday, don’t forget to go watch the YouTube on Tuesday!

In this solo episode, I get real about entering a new season by stripping everything back — from my hair, nails, and beauty routines to my finances, discipline, and faith. I open up about budgeting forcing me into my “natural girl era,” returning home to Dallas under difficult circumstances, and realizing that chasing purpose without balance can cost you time with the people who matter most.I also share what God has been teaching me in solitude: staying off social media, building discipline in private, waking up early for the gym, and truly studying the Bible for myself — starting with the book of John. From the miracle of water turning into wine, to the reminder to “fill the barrels first,” to learning why obedience always comes before breakthrough, this episode is about letting go of old versions of yourself and trusting that when God restores something, it comes back better than before.Please leave a review , if this episode spoke to you!For exclusive bonus content, behind-the-scenes vlogs, a place connect with the LTTA FAM plus more, join the LTTA app community at LTTA.app and unlock your invite today!Audio Fam, since you listen to the audio every Monday, don’t forget to go watch the YouTube on Tuesday!

In this episode, I sit down with actor Shannon Wallace, and we have one of the most raw, honest conversations I’ve had on this podcast. We talk about grief, losing his younger brother to gun violence, finding healing through art, and how acting became a place where he could release emotions he couldn’t always express in real life. Shannon opens up about relationships, boundaries, faith, truth-seeking, therapy, and why peace — not validation — is his priority in this season. This episode is about timing, truth, grief, obedience, and trusting God even when the detour doesn’t make sense.Please leave a review , if this episode spoke to you!For exclusive bonus content, behind-the-scenes vlogs, a place connect with the LTTA FAM plus more, join the LTTA app community at LTTA.app and unlock your invite today!Audio Fam, since you listen to the audio every Monday, don’t forget to go watch the YouTube on Tuesday!

In this episode, I sit down with comedian and actor Na'im Lynn, and we get real about relationships, fatherhood, emotional maturity, and the difference between confidence and insecurity. Na'im shares powerful insights on raising a daughter, co-parenting with intention, protecting children emotionally, navigating friendships, dating with honesty, and why validation, assumptions, and insecurity can quietly sabotage relationships. We also dive into his journey working with Kevin Hart and Tyler Perry, how opportunities truly come full circle, and why staying grounded matters more than fame.This conversation is thoughtful, funny, and deeply human — especially for anyone learning how to set boundaries, communicate better, heal childhood wounds, and grow into the next version of themselves.Please leave a review , if this episode spoke to you!For exclusive bonus content, behind-the-scenes vlogs, a place connect with the LTTA FAM plus more, join the LTTA app community at LTTA.app and unlock your invite today!Audio Fam, since you listen to the audio every Monday, don’t forget to go watch the YouTube on Tuesday!

In this episode, I’m stepping into 2026 with a new perspective — one rooted in healing, reconnection, and intention. I share why this season is about watering relationships, reconnecting with family and old friends, and truly loving people while we still have time. As I reflect on loss, growth, and maturity, I talk honestly about how therapy, faith, and rededicating my life to Christ have shifted what actually matters to me now.Then I sit down with my brother Emmanuel Hudson, and we go deep into faith, obedience, and what it really looks like to rededicate your life to God. Eman shares powerful moments from his journey — from reading the Bible for himself for the first time, to understanding God’s character through Scripture, to standing firm in his convictions in Hollywood by refusing to compromise his faith. This conversation is raw, funny, convicting, and full of truth about choosing obedience, reading the Word for yourself, and waking up spiritually in a world full of distractions.Please leave a review , if this episode spoke to you!For exclusive bonus content, behind-the-scenes vlogs, a place connect with the LTTA FAM plus more, join the LTTA app community at LTTA.app and unlock your invite today!Audio Fam, since you listen to the audio every Monday, don’t forget to go watch the YouTube on Tuesday!

In this episode, I open up about my word for 2026 — Divine Assignment — and how this season isn’t about chasing platforms, money, or validation, but aligning every gift God gave me with His purpose for my life.I get real about fear, starting again after disappointment, and why past failures can’t be the reason we stop trying. From launching the LTTA app after losing nearly $40,000 the first time, to building discipline through uncomfortable habits like ice baths, I break down grace vs. discipline, why you can’t bully yourself into growth, and how trying again — slowly, consistently, and privately — is what creates real transformation. If you’re entering 2026 feeling nervous, hopeful, or unsure of your next step, this episode is your reminder that you still have time, purpose, and another chance to try again.Please leave a review , if this episode spoke to you!For exclusive bonus content, behind-the-scenes vlogs, a place connect with the LTTA FAM plus more, join the LTTA app community at LTTA.app and unlock your invite today!Audio Fam, since you listen to the audio every Monday, don’t forget to go watch the YouTube on Tuesday!

In this episode, I reflect on closing out the year grounded in family, faith, and obedience, and why my dad’s sermon reminded me that with God, we don’t just get one do-over — we get endless grace.I talk honestly about overgiving, discernment, and how sometimes helping people without boundaries can actually hurt us more than it helps them.Then I sit down with Funny Marco, and our conversation goes everywhere it needs to go — from gratitude and breaking generational cycles, to neurodivergence, parenting, empathy, money, and purpose. Marco shares raw stories about growing up with very little, losing his father young, learning how to be a present dad, and why he believes gratitude, not money, is what keeps him grounded. This episode is real, funny, uncomfortable, and deeply human — the kind of conversation that makes you stop and re-evaluate how you love, give, and show up in the world.Please leave a review , if this episode spoke to you!For exclusive bonus content, behind-the-scenes vlogs, a place connect with the LTTA FAM plus more, join the LTTA app community at LTTA.app and unlock your invite today!Audio Fam, since you listen to the audio every Monday, don’t forget to go watch the YouTube on Tuesday!

In this episode, I open up about my own transition into a new season — from changing my name online to walking confidently in who God says I am. I share the real story behind that viral “10 minutes with Jesus vs. a trillion dollars” moment, and why it was never about choosing money over Jesus, but choosing relationship over a one-time encounter .Then, my girl Jade Godbolt joins me, and we dive deep into healing, obedience, marriage, covering, and the painful but beautiful journey of letting go of the old versions of ourselves. Jade shares intimate pieces of her testimony — from rebuilding trust after infidelity, to losing followers after laying her “lipstickandcurls” identity at God’s feet, to how God restored her joy, her peace, and her entire household piece by piece .Please leave a review , if this episode spoke to you!For exclusive bonus content, behind-the-scenes vlogs, a place connect with the LTTA FAM plus more, join the LTTA app community at LTTA.app and unlock your invite today!Audio Fam, since you listen to the audio every Monday, don’t forget to go watch the YouTube on Tuesday!

In this episode, I open up about why changing my TikTok name to Braelyn Greenfield had the internet spiraling, and I finally break down the truth behind that viral clip where everyone swore I picked “a trillion dollars over Jesus.” I explain why my faith sees daily intimacy as more valuable than a one-time 10-minute moment — and how scripture backs the heart behind what I said, even if the internet missed the theology behind it .Then, my guest Nzinga Imani joins me, and we dive deep into confidence, body image, identity, and the moments in life that force you to grow. She shares everything — from getting called “humongous” by her nephew, to navigating plus-size roles in Hollywood, to losing everything in a house fire and rebuilding her entire life and career from scratch. Hearing how she survived a toxic relationship, became a caretaker, overcame church hurt, and still found the courage to pursue acting, music, and entrepreneurship is nothing short of inspiringPlease leave a review , if this episode spoke to you!For exclusive bonus content, behind-the-scenes vlogs, a place connect with the LTTA FAM plus more, join the LTTA app community at LTTA.app and unlock your invite today!Audio Fam, since you listen to the audio every Monday, don’t forget to go watch the YouTube on Tuesday!

In this episode, I sit down with the legendary Kym Whitley, and y’all… she poured into me in a way I didn’t even know I needed. We talked about wisdom, discernment, confidence, building a life outside of your career, and what it means to “be young but think old.” When she told me to stop wasting time trying to fix what doesn’t need to be fixed and to build my wonderful life now, it hit me so deeply.We laughed, we talked about men, friendship, boundaries, purpose, and learning to trust your intuition. And Kym gave me the kind of auntie-level truth that makes you sit up straight — like why you need older women in your life, why confidence must come from God and not the internet, and how to stop letting fear convince you you’re going to “miss out.” This episode is full of wisdom, humor, and heart.Please leave a review , if this episode spoke to you!For exclusive bonus content, behind-the-scenes vlogs, a place connect with the LTTA FAM plus more join the LTTA app community at LTTA.app and unlock your invite today!Audio Fam, since you listen to the audio every Monday , don’t forget to go watch the YouTube on Tuesday!

In this episode, I sit down with my friend King Bach, and we get into everything — from grief and healing to ambition, dating, legacy, and building something from scratch. Hearing him talk about navigating the loss of his mother while still showing up for life and work really touched me, and I loved when he said he lets the emotions come and then keeps going — that level of honesty is rareWe also talked about purpose, entrepreneurship, shooting his first comedy special, and the wild journey from Vine to major films. I cracked up hearing his stories about dating while being a workaholic, but the real motivation came when he said sometimes you just have to be “a little dumb and fearless” to chase your dreams anyway. This episode is funny, honest, inspiring, and full of reminders that you can rebuild, reimagine, and restart at any point.Please leave a review , if this episode spoke to you!For exclusive bonus content, behind-the-scenes vlogs, a place connect with the LTTA FAM plus more, join the LTTA app community at LTTA.app and unlock your invite today!Audio Fam, since you listen to the audio every Monday, don’t forget to go watch the YouTube on Tuesday!

In this episode, I sit down with my girls Loren Lott and Jazmine Robinson, and we get REAL about friendship, discernment, faith, and dating in this season of our lives. We talked about how their bond has stayed solid through prayer, grace, and honesty, and I loved when Loren said she had to take her worth “out of the casting director’s hands and put it back in her Father’s” — that line blessed me so much.We laughed about going on dates, crushes, boundaries, and why saying “no” can be a whole spiritual gift. And of course, we had to talk about comparison, trusting God’s timing, and learning to love the season you're in. This episode felt like girl talk, therapy, and a devotional all in one — I know it’s going to bless you.Please leave a review , if this episode spoke to you!For exclusive bonus content, behind-the-scenes vlogs, a place connect with the LTTA FAM plus more, join the LTTA app community at LTTA.app and unlock your invite today!Audio Fam, since you listen to the audio every Monday, don’t forget to go watch the YouTube on Tuesday!

In this episode, I sat down with the powerful and anointed Dr. Jay Barnett, and y’all… whew. This conversation went far beyond what I expected. We talked about healing, wholeness, calling, and obedience — the kind that breaks you down before it builds you back up. Dr. Jay shared how God told him to be quiet during one of the darkest public storms of his life, and how that silence became his greatest act of obedience. Hearing him say, “Obedience is best displayed when you don’t understand,” stopped me in my tracks.We got real about relationships too — why being single in purpose is harder than being lonely, why you can’t pour from an empty cup, and how discernment saves your calling. He said something that shook me: “You can’t be a whale connected to a swimming pool.” That hit home. Because I’ve been there — trying to shrink to fit what wasn’t meant for me.We also dove into what it means to move from healing to wholeness, how to protect your peace when you’re constantly pouring into others, and why it’s okay to let God be your companion while He’s preparing the right one. This episode reminded me that obedience, surrender, and alignment aren’t passive — they’re power moves.If this conversation spoke to your spirit, share it with a friend who’s walking through their own season of letting go.

In this episode, I sit down with the incredible Brittney Moses — a women’s coach and mental health content creator — to talk about something most of us struggle with but rarely name out loud: people-pleasing and self-abandonment.We went deep into how women, especially Black women, are taught to carry everyone else’s load and call it strength — even when it’s slowly breaking us down. Brittney opened my eyes to the “fawn response,” a trauma reaction where we make ourselves small to feel safe. That hit home for me because I’ve been there — walking on eggshells, avoiding conflict, thinking silence kept the peace when it really just kept me stuck.We talked about the guilt that comes with saying no, how to rebuild self-trust after years of ignoring your intuition, and what it means to live beyond society’s checkboxes — those invisible rules about when to marry, have kids, or “be successful.” Brittney's story of becoming a teen mom, going back to UCLA, remarrying later in life, and defining success on her own terms reminded me that God’s timeline is never off — it’s divine.Please leave a review , if this episode spoke to you! For exclusive bonus content, behind-the-scenes vlogs, a place connect with the LTTA FAM plus more join the LTTA app community at LTTA.app and unlock your invite today! Audio Fam, since you listen to the audio every Monday , don’t forget to go watch the YouTube on Tuesday!

In this episode, I sit down with my longtime friend and creator Carey, and we get real about what it means to chase dreams, lose yourself, and find purpose again. This conversation took me back to our early content days in 2016, filming skits in garages and laughing our way through the struggle — only now, we’re unpacking what was really happening behind those smiles.Carey opened up about the hidden battles behind the comedy — sleeping on floors, losing his identity, rebuilding his faith, and realizing that legacy matters more than likes. What hit me most was when he said, “I lost my identity trying to be what my fans wanted me to be.” That line stopped me. Because haven’t we all been there — letting other people’s expectations rewrite who we are?We talked about money, faith, ego, and what it takes to build a creative life that’s rooted in truth instead of image. And somewhere between the laughter and tears, we both realized: the real flex isn’t fame. It’s peace.Please leave a review , if this episode spoke to you! For exclusive bonus content, behind-the-scenes vlogs, a place connect with the LTTA FAM plus more join the LTTA app community at LTTA.app and unlock your invite today! Audio Fam, since you listen to the audio every Monday , don’t forget to go watch the YouTube on Tuesday!

In this episode, I sit down with my friend and interior designer Jameelah Divine, whose story left me speechless. We started by talking about creating peaceful spaces through design—but it quickly became so much more. Jamila opened up about losing her daughter, rebuilding her life after heartbreak and trauma, and finding God again through unimaginable pain. She shared how she created “The Case Method”—a way to design both your home and your life with intention, clarity, and faith.What really hit me was her story about her husband’s near-death experience—a moment that tested her faith like never before—and how she found peace in surrendering to God’s plan, even when she didn’t understand it. This episode reminded me that healing isn’t linear, and that peace doesn’t come from perfection—it’s something we cultivate, step by step, with faith and purpose.If this conversation touched your heart, please subscribe, rate, and share the show with someone who needs encouragement today.

On this episode of Let’s Try This Again, I sit down with Jalyka —a true creative, singer, and trailblazer—who radiates authenticity both online and in person. We talk about stepping into a new era, owning our uniqueness, and boldly loving God even when it’s countercultural. From being homeschooled and learning to grow “wild and free,” to facing criticism about modesty and body image as a Christian influencer, Jalyka shares how she navigates conviction versus shame, and how faith, contentment, and gratitude transformed her journey. We get into the struggles with procrastination, stepping into obedience, and why “growing in public” is a calling instead of a choice. Whether we’re laughing about DIY nails or getting real on spiritual growth, this episode is filled with gems for anyone who sometimes feels out of place or uncertain.Please leave a review , if this episode spoke to you! For exclusive bonus content, behind-the-scenes vlogs, a place connect with the LTTA FAM plus more join the LTTA app community at LTTA.app and unlock your invite today! Audio Fam, since you listen to the audio every Monday , don’t forget to go watch the YouTube on Tuesday!

This week on Let’s Try This Again, I sit down with the amazing Ella Halikas for one of the most openhearted conversations yet. We dive deep into childhood resilience, the impact of family trauma, body confidence, and fighting to love ourselves beyond what the world wants us to be. Ella gets real about navigating her parents’ brutal divorce, losing her brother to addiction, and how being the “fixer” as a child shaped her healing journey. We laugh about crazy family moments, get honest about dealing with internet trolls, and uplift those who feel pressure to fit in. Through every twist—therapy breakthroughs, plus-size modeling setbacks, and letting go of the “B. Simone” persona—I’m reminded that our stories matter, not just for us but for everyone walking a similar path. No matter what season you’re in, this episode reminds you: your pain, joy, and growth are all valid, and you never have to walk it alone.Please leave a review , if this episode spoke to you! For exclusive bonus content, behind-the-scenes vlogs, a place connect with the LTTA FAM plus more join the LTTA app community at LTTA.app and unlock your invite today! Audio Fam, since you listen to the audio every Monday , don’t forget to go watch the YouTube on Tuesday!

This week on Let’s Try This Again, I open up about faith, family, and trusting the journey with the amazing Dannella and her two powerhouse daughters, Dajeul and Dayla. We get real about life’s pivots—from leaving Mississippi in the wake of a tough divorce, to a viral Instagram video that changed everything, and the wild road trip that landed them in LA with nothing but faith, family, and a tiny U-Haul. I share how I navigated heartbreak, the ache of losing my mother, and building a relationship with God through doubt, setbacks, and unexpected blessings. Dannella shares wisdom from opening her new beauty salon, while her daughters talk about adulthood, sacrifice, and how staying honest with yourself is the real graduation. Through tears, laughter, and a little bit of church revival joy, this episode is a reminder that miracles happen in the messy middle—and that God’s not done with any of us yet.Please leave a review , if this episode spoke to you! For exclusive bonus content, behind-the-scenes vlogs, a place connect with the LTTA FAM plus more join the LTTA app community at LTTA.app and unlock your invite today! Audio Fam, since you listen to the audio every Monday , don’t forget to go watch the YouTube on Tuesday!

In this episode, I open up about what it really means to keep moving forward when life throws curveballs—from confronting setbacks in my personal and professional journey, to finding joy in the smaller, ordinary moments that truly matter. I’m joined by special guests Carlas "CJ" Quinney Jr and Candis Quinney, who share how they turned unexpected challenges into growth, with candid stories about self-discovery, relationships, and the power of persistence. Together, we have an honest conversation about rebuilding confidence, the importance of celebrating progress (even when it looks different than expected), and how support, faith, and self-compassion can help you bounce back stronger than ever. Whether you’re in a season of waiting, rebuilding, or celebrating a quiet victory, this conversation reminds us all that every step counts, and you are never alone on your path.Please leave a review , if this episode spoke to you! For exclusive bonus content, behind-the-scenes vlogs, a place connect with the LTTA FAM plus more join the LTTA app community at LTTA.app and unlock your invite today! Audio Fam, since you listen to the audio every Monday , don’t forget to go watch the YouTube on Tuesday!
