In this episode, I sit down with my very first guest, Jermaine, an artist and author whose journey reflects what’s possible when you choose growth, discipline, and purpose.

We talk about sobriety, self-forgiveness, and the courage it takes to release an old identity so a new one can fully take shape. Jermaine shares how creativity became a tool for healing and how intentional living reshaped his life from the inside out.

This conversation is honest and human, but it’s also full of light. It’s about resilience, creativity, and the kind of inner work that changes everything.

What if I told you January 1st was never your real new year start line… and you've been beating yourself up on the completely wrong timeline?​

In this episode, I'm letting you in on:

• Why we’re technically not done with last year’s energy yet (and how to weaponize it to release what's secretly holding you back)

• The one bold move you need to bury before everything speeds up

• A super easy but powerful ritual that aligns your energy for massive 2026 manifestations​

If you're done feeling stuck and ready for that main-character glow-up in your wellness journey, mindset shift, or personal growth era, hit play.

Trust me, this is the convo that's gonna light your path to unstoppable.

I need to tell you something you might not want to hear...

You’re probably about to make the same biggest mistake most people make at the start of the year.

And the worst part?

It doesn’t feel like a mistake.

It feels like you’re being responsible.

It feels like you’re “doing the right thing.”

It even looks productive from the outside.

It’s the thing that makes you set goals that don’t match your real life, or makes you avoid your goals completely because thinking about them feels exhausting.

It’s why you start strong for a week or two, then life gets busy and you fall off, and then you do that annoying thing where you decide you “messed up,” so you stop altogether. And now you’re back in the cycle, trying to restart every Monday, every first of the month, every “next week.”

You need to know this mistake because once you can spot it, you can stop repeating it.

You stop blaming yourself.

You stop thinking you lack discipline.

You stop treating the new year like a personality reset and start treating it like a strategy.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why most people fail at New Year resolutions before January is even over

• The biggest mistake at the start of the year

• How to stop repeating last year’s patterns with reflection and intention

• How to reframe “failure” into feedback, lessons, and data

• How to set realistic goals without overextending yourself

• Why small wins matter more than perfection

• How to implement boundaries, saying no without guilt

• Why you’re not behind, you’re building
