Summary

This week on Let’s Try This Again, I’m your host B Simone, and I’m inviting you deep into my solo journey of surrender, discipline, and stepping fully into purpose—even when the weight feels heavy. Filmed before a wave of backlash in my own life, this episode felt prophetic in every way: as I spoke encouragement to you, I was unknowingly pouring into myself for what was to come. I open up about my time at Tasha Cobbs’ Inner Glow conference, the anxiety of performing for a new audience, and the power of having someone as anointed as Tasha truly see and pray for me. We’ll get raw about feeling unqualified, not waiting to “clean up” before you share your testimony, and realizing that God's anointing doesn't need to look like anyone else’s.

We talk about my 10-day water fast, those breaking points where all you can pray is “help me Jesus,” and the courage it takes to obey seemingly small convictions—like picking up a water bottle at the airport. I challenge you to ask: what’s your “water bottle” moment, and where might disobedience or doubt be keeping you from your next step? This episode is packed with honest encouragement for anyone tired of being strong, feeling unseen in a season of solitude, or wrestling with letting go of what no longer serves you. From practical gratitude exercises to brutal truths about fighting your flesh and honoring your calling, I hold nothing back. If you’re ready for a dose of faith, realness, and a fire to pick up that next baton—this one’s for you.

0:00.0	What's up you guys? I'm your host, B. Simone, and welcome to the Let's Try This Again podcast. Let's just try again.
0:31.1	Hey y'all. Welcome to another episode of the Let's Try This Again podcast. I'm your host B Simone and oh my gosh, I am so excited to be back on the mic. This week's episode is
0:36.8	going to be so good. What's crazy is this
0:39.2	episode was so prophetic because I filmed this episode way before the backlash and all the crazy
0:46.3	stuff that happened online. And when I rewatch this episode, I'm like, oh my gosh. Because this
0:51.8	episode was filmed the exact same time as the BET episode. And, whoa, like, are you crazy? The stuff I'm saying in this episode is like I'm talking directly to myself as I'm talking to my audience and it's so prophetic with what happened in my life. It's just so dope. I can't wait for you guys to hear this episode. It's just so inspiring. And my gosh, it's just so, so, so, so great. But this week was amazing. If you're listening to this on the day that it drops, obviously it's Monday because the audio drops every Monday. The YouTube drops every Tuesday. And y'all get a little razzle when you listen to the audio baby because these audio intros are not on YouTube. YouTube just gets straight to the video, straight to the interview, straight
1:29.5	to the episode. But I've been doing these little audio intros every week and I absolutely
1:33.6	love it because it allows me to recap my week and what I've been going through and what I've
1:37.6	been doing this past weekend. I went to Inner Glow, which is a conference annually
1:43.6	that Tasha Cobbs puts on. You guys, I did not know
1:46.9	Tasha Cobbs was a pastor and a preacher and a bishop and a reverend and a deaconess. I just, you know,
1:54.6	I was like, okay, obviously I know she's a gospel singer, but I did not know she was a pastor.
1:59.2	And I got to speak on the panel at Inner
2:01.9	Glow which is a conference she has every year and it was absolutely amazing that Friday night
2:07.4	I got to host her album release party she just dropped the album and it was so fun but I'm not
2:12.3	gonna lie I was nervous because I was looking at the run of show and it was like 15 minutes, 10 minutes set.
2:18.5	And it said set.
2:19.3	When it says set, I always think of a standup set and my standup set is not clean.
2:23.7	So if I'm in front of like the Christian community or a little more clean audience, I get
2:30.0	nervous because I'm like, ooh, don't cuss.
2:32.2	Don't say that.
2:32.8	You can't say that joke.
