Real Talk With TAS and OnJerya | You Had to Find Your Way Back to Yourself

This is for the person who feels like they lost parts of themselves along the way. What came through clearly is that finding your way back is not about becoming someone new; it is about reconnecting with who you were before life, trauma, and expectations shaped your identity. In everyday life, this looks like realizing that some of the things you built were survival, not who you truly are. I had to recognize that my voice, my identity, and even my choices had been influenced by what I needed to survive, not just who I was created to be. Returning to yourself requires honesty, faith, and the willingness to release what no longer aligns so you can stand fully in your truth. Watch the full conversation below.

Real Talk With TAS and OnJerya | What You Tolerate Will Continue

In this episode of Real Talk With TAS and OnJerya, we talk about what you are tolerating that you should be rebuilding. This is for the person who feels tired but cannot quite explain why. What came through clearly is that the weight you are carrying is often tied to what you have been allowing to stay in your life. In everyday life, this shows up as staying in situations that drain you, while trying to function at full capacity everywhere else. I had to recognize that some of what I was experiencing was not just happening to me; it was something I had allowed to continue. Rebuilding requires honesty, ownership, and the courage to choose something different, even when it feels uncomfortable. You can watch the full conversation below to hear the discussion in full.

Real Talk With TAS and OnJerya | When You Feel Overlooked but Still Called

In this episode of Real Talk With TAS and OnJerya, we talk about feeling overlooked even when you are ready. This is for the person doing the work who still isn't being seen the way they expected. What came through clearly is that delay is not denial, it is often preparation. In everyday life, this shows up when your value is present but not acknowledged right away. I want you to understand that your calling does not expire just because recognition has not arrived yet. Stay aligned with who you are and do not carry what was never yours to hold. You can watch the full conversation below to hear the discussion in full.

In this Real Talk conversation, OnJerya and I reflect on the life experiences that force personal growth even when we feel unprepared.

Our conversation reminds me that milestones are more than numbers. They are evidence of resilience, perseverance, and purpose. When I look back on the difficult seasons, I realize those challenges shaped my mindset, strengthened my confidence, and helped me see how growth often begins in the most uncomfortable spaces.

Real Talk With TAS & OnJerya | Viola Davis and Wearing Your Crown

In this Real Talk conversation, OnJerya and I reflect on Viola Davis's remarkable journey and what her story teaches us about identity, resilience, and self-worth. As we unpack her accomplishments and the message behind her NAACP Image Awards speech, I am reminded that many of us spend too much time waiting for permission to believe in ourselves. Viola Davis reminds us that our crown has already been bought and paid for. The real question is whether we have the courage to wear it and step fully into the purpose and potential that already belong to us.
