Let's Try This Again with B. Simone

This week on Let’s Try This Again, I’m your host B Simone, and I’m joined by the legendary content creator and entrepreneur DeStorm Power. We get real about what it means to build something from the ground up, fight for your creative vision, and keep going even when the world doesn’t see the work behind the scenes. DeStorm opens up about his journey from singing in Baltimore R&B groups and running track, to becoming one of the first viral internet stars—before “influencer” was even a word. We dive deep into the story behind Zeus Network, how it started as a dream among friends, and the heartbreak of being cut out of something you helped build. DeStorm shares how he and his crew—including King Bach and others—put in the groundwork, brought in their communities, and launched shows that kept the lights on at Zeus, only to later feel sidelined and unrecognized. Hearing DeStorm talk about spending years and even a million dollars fighting for what he deserved was both sobering and motivating. It reminded me that sometimes, the people who help you build are the ones who get left out when the spotlight comes. We also talk about mental health—especially for men—and how important it is to ask for help, open up, and take care of yourself even while you’re hustling. DeStorm's honesty about the emotional toll of being “muted” and misunderstood hit home for me, and I know so many of you will relate to the pressure of having to smile and show up, even when you’re carrying so much behind the scenes. If you’ve ever felt overlooked, unappreciated, or just needed a reminder that your story matters, this episode is for you. Tune in for laughter, real talk, and a powerful look at resilience, creativity, and the courage to keep trying—no matter what. This episode is brought to you by BetterHelp.

This week on Let’s Try This Again, I’m your host B Simone, and I’m sitting down with the hilarious and inspiring Zainab Johnson. From the moment I discovered Zainab on social media—rocking her Bantu knots and dropping truth with every punchline—I knew I had to have her on the show. In this episode, we get real about what it’s like to break into stand-up comedy as a Black Muslim woman, and how sometimes the things that make us different become our superpowers. Zainab shares how she never saw women like herself represented in comedy or on TV growing up, and how that inspired her to become the role model she wished she’d had. She opens up about her first time on stage, admitting she thought she’d fail but wanted a good story to tell—only to discover she was actually good at it and wanted to try again the very next day. We laugh about the wild journey from open mics at hookah lounges to touring internationally, and how being brutally honest about her life—like growing up with 13 siblings, wearing a hijab as a kid, or experimenting with hair—became the heart of her comedy. We also dive into real talk about identity, faith, and self-acceptance. Zainab breaks down why she chose to stop wearing her hijab as a teen and how, as an entertainer, she’s on a mission to affirm the existence of young girls who don’t see themselves reflected in the media. We even get into the stigma around Black women and hair, and how owning your truth—whether it’s a flip-over weave or a shaved head—can be freeing and funny. If you’ve ever felt like the odd one out, doubted your path, or needed a reminder that your story matters, this episode is for you. Tune in for laughter, wisdom, and a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to keep showing up and trying again, no matter what the world expects. And don’t forget—every Monday we drop audio on all platforms, and every Tuesday you can catch the visuals on YouTube. Let’s grow together!

This week on Let’s Try This Again, I sit down with the multi-talented artist Vic Mensa for a raw, honest conversation about sobriety, healing, and what it really takes to break free from addiction. I open up about my own struggles with food addiction, and Vic shares his journey of letting go of drugs, alcohol, and even unhealthy relationships with sex-getting real about the moments that forced him to change. He talks about the night he crashed his car while drunk and high on Molly, and how that wake-up call, paired with a powerful moment of prayer in a mosque, led him to finally listen when God gave him a second chance. Vic breaks down what sobriety means for him-not just abstaining from substances, but rebuilding his relationship with himself and others, including getting involved with Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous. We talk about the concept of anhedonia, or the inability to feel pleasure, and how years of chasing extreme highs left him feeling numb to everyday joys. Vic gets vulnerable about the guilt, shame, and darkness that came with addiction, and how, over time, he’s learned to find happiness in the simple moments again. If you’ve ever battled addiction in any form-or just felt stuck in a cycle you couldn’t break-this episode is for you. Vic’s story is motivating and relatable, reminding us that real change takes honesty, support, and a willingness to listen when life (or God) gives you a sign. Tune in for a conversation full of laughter, wisdom, and hope for anyone ready to try again.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week on Let’s Try This Again, I’m your host B Simone, and I’m joined by my girl Jamie, a life coach who specializes in manifesting and mindset. In this episode, we get real about what it actually takes to manifest the life you want-whether it’s more money, a thriving business, or deep, meaningful relationships. Jamie breaks down her step-by-step approach to manifestation, starting with the most important question: What do you truly want? So many of us don’t even let ourselves dream big, or we get stuck chasing “ego desires” instead of the heart-led dreams God placed inside us. We talk about how your beliefs shape your reality, and Jamie shares how she helps clients identify the limiting beliefs that hold them back-like wanting a faithful partner but secretly believing “all men cheat.” I even walk through some of my own examples, like getting up at 6 a.m. to work out because I’m stepping into the version of myself who runs a multi-million-dollar business. Jamie’s process is practical and motivating: write down your desires, get honest about your limiting beliefs, and then ask yourself if those beliefs are really the ultimate truth. Spoiler: they never are! This episode is packed with actionable steps-like choosing new beliefs, taking inspired action, and tuning in to what God is telling you in prayer and meditation. Jamie also opens up about her own spiritual journey, finding balance between faith and the universe, and how she learned to trust her intuition again. If you’re ready to break through old patterns and become the person who actually lives the life you dream about, this conversation is for you. Grab a notebook-Jamie even gives us a free mini coaching session right on the podcast!

This week on Let’s Try This Again, I’m your host B Simone, and I’m joined by the incredible Dr. Anita Phillips-a trauma therapist, powerhouse speaker, and someone whose wisdom has truly changed my life. In this episode, we get real about what healing actually looks like, and why forgiveness and healing are two separate journeys. I open up about my own process: how forgiving someone doesn’t mean the pain is instantly gone-just like if someone broke your leg, you could forgive them right away, but your leg would still need time to heal. That analogy hit home for me, and I know so many of you can relate. Sometimes the hurt lingers long after we’ve chosen to let go, and that’s okay. We also talk about the “mother wound,” and I share how hearing Dr. Anita break down this topic on the Woman Evolve stage brought me to tears. She explains how mother wounds aren’t just a women’s issue-they can affect anyone, and they run deep, sometimes all the way back to the original story of Adam and Eve. The way Dr. Anita brings grace to both mothers and daughters, and encourages us to have compassion for each other, is something I wish everyone could hear. This episode gets personal. I even take a moment to publicly apologize to anyone who met me during a darker, more broken season of my life-because when you’re hurting, you show up differently, no matter how hard you try to hide it. Dr. Anita helps us understand how trauma impacts our nervous system, why we might feel stuck in “fight or flight,” and how true healing isn’t about quick hacks, but about daily practices: rest, nourishing your body, using your voice, and spending time in safe spaces. We talk about practical steps-like setting boundaries, speaking up for yourself, and even how being in nature or near the ocean can help reset your nervous system. Dr. Anita shares that healing is a process, not a destination, and encourages us to look back a year from now to see how far we’ve come. If you’ve ever struggled with anxiety, felt stuck in old pain, or wondered why healing takes so long, this episode is for you. It’s honest, motivating, and packed with wisdom you can use right now. Let’s keep growing, healing, and trying again-together.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This episode of Let’s Try This Again is one of the most powerful and personal conversations I’ve ever had. I’m your host, B Simone, and today I sit down with Kevin—a filmmaker, producer, author, and mental health advocate whose story is nothing short of a miracle. We talk about the realities of suicide, mental health struggles, and the unseen emotional weight so many of us carry.Kevin opens up about living with bipolar disorder and the darkness he’s battled—including the day he attempted to end his life by jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge at just 19 years old. Out of thousands who have jumped, only 40 have survived in 90 years, and Kevin is one of them1. Hearing him talk about the days leading up to that moment, the pain he felt, and the silence he kept out of fear of judgment is both heartbreaking and incredibly relatable. He shares how he used to hide his hallucinations, panic attacks, and deep sadness, and how the loss of his beloved teacher to suicide made him believe it was an option for himself.But this episode isn’t just about the darkness—it’s about hope, resilience, and practical steps to keep going. Kevin shares the two life-saving actions he takes whenever suicidal thoughts return: looking in the mirror and reminding himself, “My thoughts don’t have to become my actions,” and reaching out to say, “I need help now.” These simple but powerful tools have helped him stay alive for 24 years since his attempt, and he urges anyone struggling to use them too.We also talk about the importance of community, love, and small daily actions that can shift your mindset—like meditation, exercise, and even something as simple as a hug. Kevin’s story is a testament to the fact that you are not alone, your life has purpose, and there is always a way forward, even when it feels impossible.If you or someone you love is struggling, please listen with care and know that there are people and resources ready to support you. This episode is raw, real, and full of hope. I promise, you’ll walk away feeling seen, motivated, and reminded that your story isn’t over. Let’s keep trying—together.

Welcome to the Let’s Try This Again podcast! I’m your host, B Simone, and in this episode, we’re diving deep into a topic that has transformed my life: Isolation vs. Solitude. This conversation is personal, relatable, and packed with lessons that will help you reflect on your own journey and move forward with intention.I share my experience of navigating a season of solitude—a time of intentional alone moments that have brought incredible growth, clarity, and healing. Solitude has taught me to embrace independence, prioritize self-love, and let go of relationships that no longer serve me. I compare this to isolation, which can feel dark, fear-based, and stagnant—a space I’ve seen others struggle in.For example, I talk about a loved one who’s in isolation—avoiding community out of fear—and contrast that with my solitude journey where I’ve learned to meal prep, set boundaries, and find joy in being alone without depending on external validation. Solitude has been a gift for me, allowing me to shed old habits and step into a healthier mindset.This episode is about asking yourself: What season am I in? Whether you’re feeling lonely or disconnected, understanding the difference between isolation and solitude can be the key to unlocking growth and purpose. I break down the definitions and share practical ways to shift your mindset from victim to victor—because solitude can be empowering when embraced intentionally.Tune in for an inspiring conversation filled with vulnerability, laughter, and actionable steps to help you heal and evolve. Let’s keep growing together—because every season has its purpose!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Welcome to the Let's Try This Again podcast! I’m your host, B Simone, and this episode is extra special because we’re celebrating one year of podcasting—yes, a whole year of pressing forward, overcoming fear, and giving God our yes. In this episode, I share my personal journey of starting this podcast, how it came to life during a season of uncertainty, and the lessons I learned about faith, fear, and obedience. Let me take you back to the moment when God dropped the name "Let's Try This Again" into my spirit during a fast—a time when I felt broken and unsure about my next steps. Eight months after walking away from my previous podcast, I was hesitant to start over. But through faith and seeking God’s guidance, I found clarity and courage to take that leap.I talk about how fear can paralyze us—whether it’s starting a new business, giving love another chance after heartbreak, or pursuing a dream that feels impossible. For me, fear was real when I thought about podcasting again after a traumatic experience with my first show. But choosing faith over fear opened doors not just for me but for others who needed encouragement and healing through these conversations.This episode is all about starting, even when you don’t have all the answers. Whether it’s picking up an old hobby like singing or painting, or taking steps toward your purpose—even if it’s as small as writing down ideas—your yes isn’t just for you. It’s connected to someone else’s breakthrough, healing, or freedom.I hope this episode motivates you to seek the next step in your journey. Remember Jeremiah 29:13: Seek Him with all your heart, and you will find Him. Don’t let fear hold you back from what God has called you to do. Your yes can create waves of healing and freedom for others—it’s bigger than you think!Tune in now for a raw and relatable conversation filled with laughter, vulnerability, and practical steps to move forward in faith. Let’s celebrate together and keep trying—because the movement begins with us!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Hey, y’all! It’s your girl B. Simone, and welcome back to Let’s Try This Again! This week, I’m joined by someone super special—my brother and partner-in-crime from my 2024 stand-up tour, Brandon Lewis, aka B-Lew. Together, we dive into a raw and heartfelt conversation about growth, grief, and the power of isolation in self-discovery.We talk about everything—from how we first met back in 2016 (remember that cringy boxing video shoot?) to how we reconnected almost a decade later during one of the most transformative years of our lives. Brandon opens up about losing his mom to cancer and how that heartbreaking experience became the catalyst for his season of transition. He shares how he’s learning to set boundaries, embrace self-worth, and step into a new version of himself.On the flip side, I reflect on my own season of acceleration. From shedding dead weight to staying laser-focused on my vision, I’ve learned that not everyone is meant to come along for the ride—and that’s okay. We also talk about how isolation isn’t just lonely—it’s necessary. It breaks you down so you can rebuild stronger than ever.This episode is full of laughs (Brandon roasting me is a given), tears (he’s been practicing his “10k views” cry!), and real-life gems about faith, resilience, and trusting God’s timing. Whether you’re navigating loss, chasing your dreams, or just trying to figure out your next step, this episode will leave you feeling seen and inspired.Tune in now for some laughs, some lessons, and a whole lotta love.

Hey you guys! It's your girl, B Simone, and welcome back to another episode of the 'Let's Try This Again' podcast! In this episode, we are diving deep into something that hit me like never before — an identity crisis. Now, if you know me, you know I have always loved my skin, my curls, my melanin, my juicy lips, and everything about being a Black woman. But recently, I found myself questioning it all, and I need to share this journey with you.It all started with a conversation my girl Connor had on a date with an NBA player who casually said he prefers dating white women because they are "easier to deal with." But he added, "You don't count because you look mixed." That one comment shook me to my core. I mean, here I was, 34 years old, never once doubting my beauty or my worth, and suddenly I found myself asking, "Am I too Black? Too urban? Are my braids too ghetto?" Y'all, these thoughts had NEVER been in my head before.As I got ready for my trip to Brazil, I kept overthinking everything. Am I dressing too Black? Will I fit in with these high-value men? It felt crazy because I had always walked confidently in who I am. But at that party in Brazil, surrounded by women who looked racially ambiguous, I felt it. The doubt. The questioning. And let me be clear — I wasn’t disrespected. Everyone was kind and welcoming. But perception is powerful, and for the first time, I felt like I didn’t fit in.But here's what I learned: My authenticity is my power. I didn't let those thoughts change who I was. I showed up as my loud, vibrant, braided, Black self because that is enough. And I want every Black woman listening to know that YOU are enough. Whether you're rocking colorful nails, big hair, or rocking your natural curls — show up as YOU.This episode is a reminder to confront those sneaky little thoughts that make us question our worth. Catch them before they turn into actions. Cast them down because we are more than society's beauty standards.Tune in now to Episode 51 of 'Let's Try This Again' and let's talk about it. New audio episodes drop every Monday, and visuals are up every Tuesday on YouTube. Follow us on Instagram @letstrythisagain for updates and exclusive behind-the-scenes content.

Simone, and today we’re talking about something that’s been heavy on my heart—answering the call, stepping into obedience, and MOVING when God tells you to.A few months ago, God placed it on my spirit to serve, and I had no idea what that meant.

Hey, y’all! It’s your girl, B. Simone, and this episode of Let’s Try This Again is all about setting goals, staying obedient, and pushing through—even when it’s tough. I’m coming to you from Dear Media Studios, and let me tell you, this is a full-circle moment. Two years ago, I walked away from a major deal here, trusting God even when it didn’t make sense. And now? I’m sitting in this very studio, signed, sealed, and stepping into my purpose. We’re talking about goals and manifestation—how I wrote down three major goals for 2025, and they’re already unfolding before my eyes. From landing a big contract, to traveling the world every month, to committing to a fasted lifestyle, I’m sharing the highs, the struggles, and the lessons along the way. I also get real about obedience and discipline—because staying true to your path means walking away from comfort, from relationships that no longer serve you, and from opportunities that aren’t aligned with your spirit. And let’s be honest, sometimes that means sitting in a dry season (like my phone—whew, Sahara Desert vibes!). But when you trust the process, the blessings come back full circle. Oh, and if you’ve ever had to do your makeup in an $200 Uber ride while rushing to be on time, trust me, you’ll relate to this one! So, grab your journal, write down those goals, and let’s hold each other accountable. What’s one thing you’re committing to in 2025? Drop it in the comments, and let’s make it happen—together. Follow @LetsTryThisAgain on Instagram, join the community, and stay tuned for the LTTA app—it’s coming soon!

"I am a Lion and a Lamb" - Jason Wilson In this episode, I sat down with author, mentor, and the transformative leader behind The Cave of Adullam, Jason Wilson. We dive deep into what it means to break free from emotional incarceration, redefine manhood, and embrace both the lion and the lamb within us. Jason shares his powerful journey from a wounded boy in Detroit to becoming a man who leads with transparency, resilience, and love.We talk about the 10 characteristics of a comprehensive man, why being "just a provider and protector" isn’t enough, and how healing the past unlocks freedom in the present. At one point, Jason reveals how his personal struggles with family trauma helped him nurture his mother during her battle with dementia, teaching him the true meaning of sacrifice and love. His insights into creating safe spaces—for men and women alike—are nothing short of life-changing.This conversation left me feeling vulnerable, inspired, and deeply seen. I hope it does the same for you. Tune in for a raw, transformative discussion that reminds us all to embrace our evolving selves and keep trying until we’re not just trying anymore—we’re thriving.Don’t forget to subscribe to LTTA’s new YouTube channel: https://www.YouTube.com/@letstrythisagainpodcast  —----------------------------------KEEP UP WITH ME:YOUTUBE: https://www.YouTube.com/@letstrythisagainpodcast WEBSITE: http://www.Letstrythisagain.com INSTAGRAM - @LetstrythisagainINSTAGRAM- @LttaappTIKTOK- @LetstrythisagainpodcastFACEBOOK - THEBSIMONE2—----------------------------------LTTA APP: I’m so excited to release my very own app!!

This week I’m joined by our first guest of 2025: entrepreneur, financial educator, and my friend Wallstreet Trapper. He shared his powerful story of transformation from—growing up in New Orleans, navigating the streets, serving time in prison, and ultimately building a life centered on purpose and impact. Trapper opened up about his emotional journey, including how therapy has helped him recalibrate his feelings, address his struggles with empathy, and work towards forgiveness. We spoke about redefining relationships and what it means to truly show up for the people in our lives.Trapper’s passion for financial freedom is just as inspiring as his personal growth. He broke down how he’s teaching people to overcome financial trauma, invest with confidence, and create generational wealth. From setting up custodial accounts for kids to using the stock market as a tool for liberation, his insights are practical and life-changing. He also revealed how he used a $1.2 million trade to fund his new Freedom Center, which will be a space for education, community, and empowerment.If you’re ready to embrace growth—whether emotionally, spiritually, or financially—this conversation is for you.

Mathew 23:11 “The greatest among you will be your servant.”Serving isn’t just about helping others—it’s a powerful act that connects you to something bigger than yourself. It shifts your focus, helps you grow emotionally and spiritually, and uncovers hidden gifts and talents you didn’t even know you had.I share why service is so important and how it’s showing up in my life this year. From creating women’s support groups at my dad’s church in Columbus to smaller, everyday acts like sharing resources or affirming my friends, I’ve learned that service can take many forms. It’s not just community service or grand gestures—it’s showing up where you’re needed and giving what you have without expecting anything in return.We’ll explore how serving can be a tool for healing, connection, and gratitude. Whether you’re unsure of your purpose or just want to make an impact, this episode will inspire you to see service in a whole new way.As Will Smith once said, “Desires involve self, purpose involves others” How will you serve in 2025?

“Write down the vision and make it plain”- Habakkuk 2:2 This episode is all about the power of writing things down. I found my  journal from 10 years ago, right before I moved to Atlanta, and it brought back so many memories. I was working three jobs, sleeping on the floor to afford studio time, and trusting that everything would work out. I wrote about wanting to be financially stable, moving to Atlanta, and even my bold plan to save $1 million before I turned 30.Every goal, every prayer, every dream I wrote in that journal has come to life in some way, even if it looked different from what I expected. I’m sharing those entries and how they’ve reminded me to believe without doubt, even when things feel uncertain. If you’ve been questioning your next step or need encouragement to keep going, this episode will remind you that faith and action can take you far.—----------------------------------KEEP UP WITH ME:WEBSITE: http://www.Letstrythisagain.com INSTAGRAM - @LetstrythisagainINSTAGRAM- @LttaappTIKTOK- @LetstrythisagainpodcastFACEBOOK - THEBSIMONE2—----------------------------------LTTA APP:  I’m so excited to release my very own app!!

Hey LTTA family Can you believe it’s 2025? This week, I’m talking about the lessons I’m taking with me from 2024—like how rejection is really just God saying, ‘Nah, I have something better for you.’ I’ll also share how going back to things I love, like music and piano lessons, has been life-changing -  and why reconnecting with what truly brings you joy can set the tone for an incredible year.

Hey, LTTA family.This week, I had an epiphany in therapy…I'm codependent! I always thought, “That’s not me,” but turns out, it’s a little more complicated than I realized. In this episode, I’m sharing my journey of recognizing those patterns, where they might have come from, and how I’m trying to break free. But honestly, I’m still figuring it out. So, I’m asking you to join me in this—are you the fixer? The one leaning on others?

" You cannot possess people, you can only experience them.” Hey LTTA Fam!  This week, I shared how a hurtful argument with my sister sparked an epiphany that changed our relationship forever. She constantly teaches me that what I want for others and what they want for themselves doesn’t always align. I learned the importance of showing up like a SISTER instead of a MOTHER and I had to take accountability for being controlling, even if it was rooted in love.  You can expect to hear:(4:00) The moment I realized that I am a sibling, and NOT a parent (8:00) The text message exchange that resulted in the silent treatment for weeks(9:00) The importance of letting people FEEL their emotions vs. FIXING their emotions(12:00) The moment I realized “OMG, I’m controlling” (15:00) UNTETHERING my identity with the Savior Complex(17:00) Learning to ask someone “How do you need me to show up for you in this stage of your life”(20:00) The impact my public platform has on my sister’s privacy (23:20) “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?” - Mathew 7:3  Hope this episode inspires you to restructure any relationships you thought about while listening to this week’s episode.

Welcome back LTTA Family! This week I sit down with two incredible moms, Carla Wilmaris and Dayybella. They are navigating their lives of being single mothers after their children were recently diagnosed with autism. We dive deep into their personal journeys—the initial shock, the countless appointments, and the reality of raising children with special needs while doing it on their own. Carla and Dayybella are sharing the raw, unfiltered emotions that come with this diagnosis: the fears, the uncertainties, but also the moments of joy and growth.This conversation isn't just about the challenges though; it's about the strength of these women. They talk about their support systems, the resources they've found along the way, and how they're advocating for their children in ways they never imagined they'd need to. We get real about the emotional toll it takes on them as individuals, but also how it's shaping them as mothers.If you’re a parent—single or not—or just someone wanting to understand what life is like for families with autism, this episode is for you. Carla and Dayybella bring so much vulnerability and hope to the conversation. I’m so honored they trusted LTTA with their stories, and I know you’ll feel that same gratitude after listening.
