Summary
In this powerful episode of Let’s Try This Again, host Braelyn Simone Greenfield takes the conversation beyond surface-level motivation and into real, transformative growth. Joined by comedian Lavelle Dontae, the episode blends humor with deeply honest moments about identity, faith, and self-awareness. From sharing the pressure of performing for others to unpacking the reality of people-pleasing and losing yourself in expectations, the conversation gets real about what it takes to reclaim your voice. Lavelle opens up about a life-changing moment where he asked, “Who am I living for?”—a question that shifted everything and led him to stop seeking validation from people and start pursuing purpose through God .
Braelyn and her Lavelle also dive into modern struggles like substance habits, digital behavior, and the importance of character behind closed doors. Whether it’s choosing discipline over comfort, taking risks with faith, or learning to unplug and reset, this episode is a reminder that growth requires intention—and that becoming your best self starts with the decisions you make daily.
This is more than a conversation—it’s a call to evolve, trust God deeper, and choose purpose over familiarty.

I've been in Atlanta now for 10, 11, going on 12 years. And oh my gosh, coming back, people walking up to me like, Braylin. I'm like, please refresh my memory. They're like, yeah, we used to be in a club together. I'm like, well, don't be mad that I don't remember that. Of course, we did. And of course, I don't remember. So I'm taking it personal. But just running into so many people that I grew up with out here, just been very, very great. We're at our friend's brunch. It's a women's event. Women empowerment coming together. They got drinks.
