Summary
This week on Let’s Try This Again, I’m your host B Simone, and I sit down with the unfiltered, hilarious, and deeply resilient Tacarra Williams. This episode is all about finding your way through public scrutiny, heartbreak, single motherhood, and reclaiming your joy—one imperfect, courageous step at a time. We talk honestly about what it feels like when your personal pain becomes public fodder, and how Tacarra had to fight for her peace after losing her ex-husband, facing judgment, and raising her daughter in the spotlight. She opens up about the anxiety that comes from stepping into rooms where people know your story, how social media robbed her of being able to grieve privately, and how she finally decided to ask for help and let her daughter live with her grandparents so she could refill her own cup.
We don’t shy away from the truth: Tacarra gets candid about forgiving people who hurt her (even when she didn’t want to), the power of solitude to reveal your own patterns, and learning how to love herself after feeling empty. I share my own battles with anxiety and self-doubt, and we both laugh about how accountability with ourselves is the realest work of all—whether it’s pouring water on your plate to stop overeating, or finally letting go of perfectionism just to make your bed every morning. If you’re in a season of isolation, struggling to let go, or terrified of the opinions of others, this conversation is for you. It’s proof that you can lose your voice and find it again, that vulnerability is strength, and that stepping back into your purpose is possible—even when you think your story is over. Tune in for a raw, funny, and soul-stirring episode about healing, grace, and giving yourself permission to try again.
