Trust is the foundation of everything we do in life. It can effect our self-confidence as well as strengthen our relationships. It is the most powerful, yet fragile token we can ever possess. Allowing us ourselves to trust seems so simple on paper, but it is one of the most vulnerable acts we can take within ourselves. Actually doing it is another story.

Trust takes time to flourish.

This week I am joined by my good friend, influencer, & connector; Tyreece Younger. Join us as we talk about building trust in relationships, the darker side of social media influencing, & how sometimes, you have to allow trust to flourish into something great.

We all want to be seen and heard. Fundamentally it is an important part of being human. Being acknowledged for things we do or even just for simply existing is so crucial to us. When that doesn't happen with those closest to us it can have a major impact on us. We start to act out or find ways to be seen. We "take the stage" and go out of our way to be noticed when in reality what we really need to do much is more simple.

Just Be You.

Today I'm joined by my close friend, TikTok star, Preston Bradley. We cover battling with depression, the whirlwind that is social media, and how  when life gives you a detour, it really brings you to where you were meant to be all along.

In life, any goals we set are oftentimes viewed as a mountain we have to climb. Most times, it's too intimidating to even look at that mountain.  It's daunting, uncomfortable, and requires more out of us than we're used to giving.  The thing is... it's doable. We have it deep within ourselves to get up that hill... we just don't believe we're worth it. We find ourselves asking: "Where do I even begin?" and the answer is quite simple.

Don't focus on the peak.
Start at the base.

My guest this week spends his days (and nights) on the frontlines of the pandemic working on the COVID-19 vaccine, my good friend Areeb Aziz, M.D. We discuss the daily battle for internal self worth, the importance of being a big brother, and the benefits sunshine and exercise can have on your mental health.
