You’re not stuck because you’re unmotivated—you’re stuck because you’re waiting for a feeling to do what discipline was designed for.

In this episode of 'Tell Your Truth', Shamika Brown-Upshaw delves into the myth of motivation and emphasizes the importance of discipline as a sustainable strategy for personal growth. The conversation explores how motivation is a fleeting emotional state influenced by various factors, while discipline is a deliberate choice that builds systems for long-term success. Shamika discusses the significance of aligning one's actions with their purpose and the role of energy and frequency in attracting desired outcomes. Practical steps for creating structure and discipline in daily life are provided, along with affirmations to reinforce positive habits.

If you’ve been waiting to “feel ready”... this is your moment to move.

You'll Learn:

• Motivation is not a long-term strategy; it's a temporary emotional state.
• Discipline is a choice that builds systems independent of motivation.
• Real freedom requires structure and support in your life.
• Your thoughts and actions create energetic signals that attract similar frequencies.

You’ve told yourself it’s timing. You’ve told yourself it’s discernment. You’ve told yourself, “Let me just get through this season first.”

But deep down… you know that’s not the real reason you haven’t moved.

In this episode of Tell Your Truth, we’re breaking down the fear behind your most convincing excuses—the ones dressed up as wisdom, stewardship, and logic.

Because here’s the truth: You’re not too busy. You’re not unprepared. You’re not waiting on God.

You’re just scared. And that fear has been showing up as perfectionism, delay, over-responsibility, and overwhelm.

In this episode, Shamika Brown-Upshaw explores the internal struggle between the part of us that is ready to rise and the part that holds us back. She emphasizes the importance of understanding our capacity, the illusion of readiness, and the detrimental effects of procrastination. Shamika encourages listeners to confront their fears, take small actions, and reclaim their power to live authentically. The episode serves as a call to action for those feeling stuck to break free from excuses and embrace their truth.

You’ll learn:

• Why “too busy” is often just a boundary issue in disguise
• How “I’m not ready” becomes the most dangerous stall tactic
• How excuses rewire your brain and block your energy
• Why faith and fear can’t lead at the same time
• What to do when you’re tired of hiding behind logic and ready to move in alignment

This is the permission slip your next level has been waiting for.

Plus, Shamika shares the real reason this podcast almost didn’t happen—and how she finally stopped shrinking and started walking in full obedience.

You’ve healed. You’ve journaled. You’ve done the inner work. So why does it still feel like you’re circling the same mountain?

In this episode, we’re talking about why your patterns keep repeating, even when you know better. Because growth alone doesn’t break the cycle—structure does.

We’ll dive into:

• The real reason you default to old habits (even when you’ve outgrown them)
• How your nervous system, beliefs, and emotional memory keep pulling you back
• What your schedule, space, and daily choices say about who you believe you are
• The role of structure, identity, and support in rewiring your patterns—for good

And I’m sharing a personal story that opened my eyes to the subtle ways I was still living from my old self…

Even after I had claimed my freedom.

This is the episode that will connect your healing to your habits—so you can stop just surviving transformation and actually start living it.

• Healing without structure is a setup for relapse
• Awareness won’t override a system built to survive your past
• You don’t need more effort—you need more access: to God, to your truth, to strategy that supports your evolution
• You can’t build your future from habits that belong to your past

• Bob Proctor: “The subconscious doesn’t know the difference between real and imagined—it only knows what’s repeated.”
• Maxwell Maltz: “You cannot consistently perform in a way that’s inconsistent with how you see yourself.”

'I break every cycle that no longer serves me. I am not just healed—I am rewired. I am creating something new.'
