Let's Try This Again with B. Simone

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!

In this episode of Let’s Try This Again, I sit down with my real-life friend and creative powerhouse, Kway—aka BlameItOnKway—who shares his incredible journey from viral comedy to serial entrepreneur, and now, full-on restaurant owner with Smack’Em! We go beyond the laughs and viral moments, opening up about what it means to be a private artist in a world obsessed with sharing, how pivots into new passions can reignite purpose, and why having the right people in your corner makes all the difference. From the anxiety of reinventing yourself after massive public success, to learning how to silence comparison and honor the process (even when the crowd gets loud), this conversation is full of honest gems about creative evolution, collaboration, and the power of betting on yourself. Plus, we celebrate the value of focusing on your lane, what “going with God” in business and life really looks like, and how supporting your friends can transform the whole journey.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!

On this episode of Let’s Try This Again, I finally sit down with my internet sis and incredibly talented content creator, actress, and newly-minted series regular, Jasmine Luv! We talk about everything from her big leap of faith moving from South Carolina to LA (with a master’s in accounting!), what it’s really like being an OG influencer, staying the course through nearly a decade of "no’s," and getting vulnerable about heartbreak, waiting, and letting God lead the way. Jasmine opens up about finding love in LA, healing from past relationships, and the real growth that comes from enduring tough times. We celebrate her new role on “Churchy,” the faith it took to weather seasons of rejection, and how powerful it is to keep going, embrace community, and trust your own timing. Whether you’re chasing wild dreams or just trying to hang on, Jasmine’s story will remind you that your breakthrough is coming—just keep believing, keep growing, and don’t be afraid to start over with a new purpose.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!

On this episode of Let’s Try This Again, I’m joined by the incredible BRESHA WEBB—award-winning actress, radiant new mom, devoted wife, and literal ball of energy and joy! We go deep about embracing happiness in this season, how trusting God’s timing led her to love and motherhood (even after meeting her husband years before and reconnecting later!), and why staying true to herself—on and off the screen—means everything. Bresha shares wisdom about waiting without worry, freezing your eggs (just in case!), and what it really takes to find purpose and joy in both career and family. We laugh about imposter syndrome, “delusional” positivity, Baltimore roots, and what it’s like balancing a thriving career with being a present mom and wife, as well as how faith, therapy, and true friends have made all the difference through life’s wild seasons. If finding your light, honoring your legacy, and allowing yourself room for both growth and laughter is on your heart, this episode will remind you you’re right on time—and encourage you to lean all the way in.Don’t miss out on the light, laughter, and inspiration—make sure you’re subscribed to Let’s Try This Again on your favorite platform and leave a review if this episode spoke to you!

This week on Let’s Try This Again, I’m in sunny LA with the hilarious and inspiring KevOnStage! We go deep on what it really means to have character, integrity, and a long-lasting relationship—Kev shares priceless lessons from 25 years with his wife Melissa, his unwavering devotion to his family, and the heartbreak and healing that shaped him after losing his brother. We laugh about the realities of working in entertainment, the importance of not living for money or outside validation, and how to choose partners (and friends) based on real character, values, and how they treat others over time—not just first impressions. Kev opens up about how his faith has evolved, why he refuses to perform perfection, and how being truly seen and supported by his wife has been his greatest treasure through career highs, loss, and the mundane daily dance of life. We also dive into how to navigate the messy middle of progress, what spiritual growth looks like in real life (not just on Instagram), and the power of being honest about where you are while letting yourself grow in public.Ready to take your growth, healing, and community to the next level?

Welcome back to Let’s Try This Again—I’m your host, B Simone, and this week I’m joined by my talented friend Diamond Batiste—a filmmaker, director, writer, and someone who’s become a real brother to me in this industry. We get all the way real about what it means to grow as creators in today’s oversaturated world, how consistency and joy are key (not just the numbers), and why being true to your vision is what separates you from the crowd. We dive into Diamond’s honest testimony of falling in and out of faith, from reading the Bible in the Army to going through cycles of drifting, chasing love, dealing with abandonment, and realizing the real work starts with radical transparency—with yourself and others. Diamond shares how therapy (and being a Black man in therapy!) unlocked his next level, and how becoming a father and seeking a new relationship with God became his “try again” moment.We laugh about childhood, flirting with the line between authenticity and honesty, failing forward in relationships, and the struggle to create safe spaces for men (and women) to tell the truth without fear of penalty. I open up, too, about the power of community, the need for graceful pivots, and how I’m embracing budgeting, DIY, and building a business that glorifies God. This episode is for anyone holding themselves back, struggling with old patterns, or scared to be their full, vulnerable self. Whether you’re a creative, a dreamer, or just trying to level up in life, our stories remind you: growth is messy, failure isn’t fatal, and healing always starts with telling yourself (and others) the truth. //SPONSORS//BetterHelp: Our listeners get 10% off their first month at BetterHelp.com/BSIMONEPODLTTA APP: The App is available NOW!!

Welcome back to Let’s Try This Again—I’m your host, B Simone, and this episode is both real and refreshingly honest as I pull back the curtain on my own journey with hustle culture, rest, and self-discovery. I get vulnerable about how hard it’s been to slow down after years of being in constant “go mode”—from juggling an at-home podcast setup (y’all, production is NOT for the weak!) to taking real breaks from social media and learning how to be still without feeling guilty. I share what I learned during my week with a friend in Kansas, how witnessing the daily grit of single moms inspired me, and why taking time to reset is actually a game changer—not a setback. PLUS, I open up about a surprise date that made me reflect on femininity, friendship, and my desire to be truly seen for who I am. Whether you’re struggling to rest, navigating your own self-worth, or just need permission to date from a place of wholeness, this episode is packed with relatable stories, insight, and motivational takeaways you can use right now.//SPONSORS//Arya: Go to Arya.Fyi/trythisagain and get 15% off your first order.Liquid IV: Squeeze the most out of your Summer with Liquid I.V.

Welcome back to Let’s Try This Again—I’m your host, B Simone, and this episode is extra special because we’re coming to you straight from beautiful, healing Bali! I sit down with Angelica, co-owner of Hotel Sages, the first Black woman-owned hotel in Bali, and together we get real about the journeys that brought us both here. We dive into what it means to find and create sanctuary—spaces for women to heal, connect, and thrive—whether it’s through my LTTA Connect retreats or Angelica’s journey from California and DC to Bali, building a business, navigating family relationships, and even embracing unexpected love.We talk openly about childhood, step-family dynamics, divorce, pressure to fulfill others’ expectations, and the boldness it takes to live for yourself instead of just for those around you. Angelica shares how she and her partner came to Bali only to have their investor disappear—and how faith, community, and family support brought their dream alive anyway. I open up about using my pain, public scrutiny, and sisterhood to fuel resilience, and how creating real connection—both at home and especially in international healing spaces—has become my calling. This episode is full of laugh-out-loud moments, deep healing talk, business gems, and practical wisdom for anyone learning to let go of people-pleasing, stop asking for permission, and go where their spirit calls. If you’re craving space to just be—messy, healing, bold, and beautifully yourself—this one is for you.Arya: Go to Arya.Fyi/trythisagain and get 15% off your first order.Liquid IV: Squeeze the most out of your Summer with Liquid I.V.

This week on Let’s Try This Again, I’m your host B Simone, and I’m inviting you deep into my solo journey of surrender, discipline, and stepping fully into purpose—even when the weight feels heavy. Filmed before a wave of backlash in my own life, this episode felt prophetic in every way: as I spoke encouragement to you, I was unknowingly pouring into myself for what was to come. I open up about my time at Tasha Cobbs’ Inner Glow conference, the anxiety of performing for a new audience, and the power of having someone as anointed as Tasha truly see and pray for me. We’ll get raw about feeling unqualified, not waiting to “clean up” before you share your testimony, and realizing that God's anointing doesn't need to look like anyone else’s.We talk about my 10-day water fast, those breaking points where all you can pray is “help me Jesus,” and the courage it takes to obey seemingly small convictions—like picking up a water bottle at the airport. I challenge you to ask: what’s your “water bottle” moment, and where might disobedience or doubt be keeping you from your next step? This episode is packed with honest encouragement for anyone tired of being strong, feeling unseen in a season of solitude, or wrestling with letting go of what no longer serves you. From practical gratitude exercises to brutal truths about fighting your flesh and honoring your calling, I hold nothing back. If you’re ready for a dose of faith, realness, and a fire to pick up that next baton—this one’s for you.//SPONSORS//Miami Convention and Visitors Bureau: Visit www.FindYourMiami.comMint Mobile: This year, skip breaking a sweat AND breaking the bank.

This week on Let’s Try This Again, I’m your host B Simone, and I sit down with the unfiltered, hilarious, and deeply resilient Tacarra Williams. This episode is all about finding your way through public scrutiny, heartbreak, single motherhood, and reclaiming your joy—one imperfect, courageous step at a time. We talk honestly about what it feels like when your personal pain becomes public fodder, and how Tacarra had to fight for her peace after losing her ex-husband, facing judgment, and raising her daughter in the spotlight. She opens up about the anxiety that comes from stepping into rooms where people know your story, how social media robbed her of being able to grieve privately, and how she finally decided to ask for help and let her daughter live with her grandparents so she could refill her own cup.We don’t shy away from the truth: Tacarra gets candid about forgiving people who hurt her (even when she didn’t want to), the power of solitude to reveal your own patterns, and learning how to love herself after feeling empty. I share my own battles with anxiety and self-doubt, and we both laugh about how accountability with ourselves is the realest work of all—whether it’s pouring water on your plate to stop overeating, or finally letting go of perfectionism just to make your bed every morning. If you’re in a season of isolation, struggling to let go, or terrified of the opinions of others, this conversation is for you.

Welcome back to Let’s Try This Again—I’m your host, B Simone, and this episode is one of the most honest, vulnerable, and spiritually charged conversations I’ve ever had. I’m joined by the incredible Mignon, actress, creative, and all-around powerhouse, as we get real about the journey to self-acceptance, the weight of spiritual warfare, and how success often looks nothing like what we imagined. We open up about body image struggles, generational trauma, and the pressure of living up to expectations—Mignon shares how her journey with weight and self-worth began in childhood, shaped by family and early experiences of trauma, and how she’s learned to fight for her confidence and peace in an industry that’s quick to judge.We talk about what it means to “fight for everything”—from your health to your purpose—and how sometimes the biggest battles are spiritual, not physical. Mignon shares her story of living out of her car, hustling behind the scenes in Hollywood, and finally landing her breakout role on “Sistas” after years of setbacks, faith, and relentless perseverance. We dive deep into the difference between jealousy and envy, the importance of discernment, and why loving yourself (and others) through pain is the ultimate act of growth. If you’ve ever felt worn down by life, doubted your calling, or needed a reminder that your story matters, this episode is for you. Tune in for laughter, wisdom, and the kind of motivation that reminds you: you are enough, you are worthy, and you’re never alone on this journey.//SPONSORS// Skims: Shop my favorite bras and underwear at SKIMS.comLiquid IV: Squeeze the most out of your Summer with Liquid I.V.

Welcome back to Let’s Try This Again—I’m your host, B Simone, and this episode is all about stepping into your power, embracing honesty, and learning how to love yourself (and others) with intention. I’m joined by the brilliant Shan, a certified sexologist and relationship expert, and together we get real about confidence, self-discovery, and what it actually takes to build a life—and love—that feels authentic and fulfilling.We dive into the behind-the-scenes of my BET Awards look, but more importantly, how that moment represented a shift from “faking it till you make it” to truly feeling bold, beautiful, and confident from the inside out. Shan and I talk about the importance of knowing what you want in a partner, why your “romantic wish list” should be short and intentional, and how being honest with yourself (and others) is the foundation for real connection. I open up about my own journey—how I’ve sometimes focused on what’s missing in my love life instead of embracing the abundance that’s already here, and how I’m learning to ask for what I need, set boundaries, and trust that what’s meant for me is already on its way.We also get into the nitty-gritty of healing from toxic relationships, rebuilding confidence, and the power of surrounding yourself with people who see and celebrate the real you. Shan shares her own story of moving on from a manipulative relationship, finding love again, and why loving yourself—and being honest about your needs—is the ultimate act of self-care. If you’ve ever struggled with self-doubt, felt stuck in old patterns, or needed a reminder that you’re worthy of love just as you are, this episode is for you. Let’s keep growing, loving, and trying again—together.//Sponsor// Simply Pop: Go to https://www.coca-cola.com/us/en/brands/simply/simply-pop-podcast-tour to find out where you can try Simply Pop!BetterHelp: Our listeners get 10% off their first month at BetterHelp.com/BSIMONEPODMiami Convention and Visitors Bureau: Visit www.FindYourMiami.com See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
