In this episode, I open up about what came after success — the stillness, the healing, and the freedom that followed forgiveness.

After years of building, achieving, and leading, I moved to Dubai and found myself in silence. That silence became my teacher. It forced me to face everything I had avoided while chasing success — the wounds, the patterns, the truth.

This episode is about what happens when you stop running and start healing. About learning that peace isn’t something you find — it’s something you create through awareness, forgiveness, and alignment.

✨ In this episode, I share:

•⁠ ⁠The inner transformation that began when the noise stopped

•⁠ ⁠The lessons I learned through forgiving both my parents

•⁠ ⁠How healing shaped the way I lead, build, and live today

•⁠ ⁠Why alignment — not ambition — is the key to real success

In this first episode of the Level Up Podcast, I open up about where it all began — my real story. The one behind the titles, the businesses, and the success.

From growing up in foster care and facing instability at a young age, to building multiple companies, leading communities, and creating a life on my own terms — this episode is about turning pain into purpose and chaos into clarity.

I share how my childhood shaped my drive, how forgiveness became my turning point, and why building a business is never just about strategy — it’s about healing, self-awareness, and ownership.

If you’ve ever felt like your past was too heavy to build from — this one’s for you.

Most people overestimate what they can do in a year - and underestimate what they can do in just 12 weeks. In this episode, I’ll show you how to achieve in the next 12 weeks what most people struggle to accomplish in an entire year.

I’ll share why annual goals fail, how to create clarity around your vision and your “why,” and the proven system that turns big dreams into concrete weekly actions. You’ll also hear my own story of how I’ve used this exact approach to hit personal, professional, and business milestones faster than I ever imagined.

If you’ve been waiting for “someday” to finally go after your goals, this is your wake-up call. You don’t need a new year. You don’t need more time. You need 12 weeks of focus, structure, and accountability.

This episode will give you the roadmap to level up your life - starting today.
