| 6/16/26 | ![]() Honor the Baby Steps: The First 30 Days Is Rebuilding Trust With Yourself (Featuring Nia Henry) | Getting back on track sounds easy…until it’s actually time to do it.This week, Jarratt DAMN is joined by returning guest and functional nutritional therapy practitioner Medina “Nia” Henry for a real conversation about starting over on your wellness journey, rebuilding consistency, and why “life be life-in” might be the excuse keeping us stuck.From stress eating and gym anxiety to meal prep, burnout, accountability, and rebuilding self-trust one decision at a time, this episode is less about perfection and more about finally being honest with yourself about what needs to change.Because sometimes the hardest part isn’t the workout.It’s showing up for yourself again.In this episode, we talk about:Why consistency feels harder the second time aroundThe connection between stress, food, and emotional exhaustion“Life be life-in” vs radical honestyMeal prep and reducing decision fatigueGym intimidation and comparing yourself to othersThe importance of honoring the baby stepsWhy the first 30 days is about rebuilding trust with yourselfAnd yes…Jarratt gets called out several times in this episode.

| 2/17/26 | ![]() Be Mufasa or Scar: Embrace Being the ‘Bad Guy’ in People’s Lives | There comes a point where always being the hero starts costing you your life.In this episode, I talk about what it really means to always show up for everyone else — and what it’s taken from me over the years.For three years straight, I set goals.For three years straight, I missed most of them.It wasn’t laziness.It wasn’t lack of ambition.It was misdirected energy.I realized I was investing more time into saving other people than I was building the life I say I want.And when you’re always Mufasa in everyone’s story…you forget how to be yourself in your own.We talk about:The hidden cost of always being the dependable oneWhy reliability and accessibility are not the same thingThe guilt that keeps you stuck in “hero mode”How survivor’s guilt shaped my boundariesWhy being the “bad guy” might actually save your lifeThere’s a difference between being kind and abandoning yourself.You can be the bad guy in someone’s story for a moment…or be the bad guy to yourself forever.It’s about DAMN time we stop confusing self-sacrifice with love.It’s About DAMN Time SegmentIt’s about DAMN time we stop being the bad guy to ourselves just to be liked.D.A.M.N.

| 2/10/26 | ![]() What’s My Why… Questioning Everything Was Just the Start | Questioning Everything Was Just the StartThis wasn’t a planned episode. This was me hitting record because I couldn’t keep carrying everything in my head.Lately, I’ve been tired. Not just physically. Mentally. Spiritually. Creatively. And it had me asking some uncomfortable questions. About the podcast. About my direction. About whether I’m burned out or just done.Somewhere in all of that, one question kept coming back up:What’s my why? And maybe more importantly… is it even mine?In this episode, I talk through burnout, pressure, comparison, and the boxes we put ourselves in trying to be liked, understood, or validated. I don’t have a neat answer. I’m not teaching a framework. I’m just being honest about what it feels like to realize the way you’ve been moving no longer fits.If you’ve ever felt disconnected from something you once loved, or stuck trying to live up to expectations that aren’t really yours, this one’s for you.No perfection. No polish. Just a real moment in the middle of a shift.It’s About DAMN Time SegmentIt’s about damn time I stop moving for everyone else and start defining my why for myself.D.A.M.N. ChallengeTake some time this week to discover or rediscover your why. Not the one that sounds good. Not the one that makes other people comfortable. The one that actually belongs to you.Write it down. Sit with it. Let it change if it needs to.📲 Connect with Me🔗 Follow me on all platforms: @DaWholeDamnShow🎧 Follow It’s About DAMN Time: @ItsAboutDamnTimePod💥 Cop the DAMN University merch right here → Shop now | — | ||||||
| 1/20/26 | ![]() Ain’t Nobody F*cking With My Clique (And That’s the Problem) | Everybody talks about loyalty.Nobody talks about growth.In this solo episode, I freestyle my way through a realization I’ve been avoiding for a while. The people you’re closest to might not be the people helping you move forward. And that doesn’t make them bad people. It just means your life has shifted.I break down why trying to get everything from one group will burn you out, how over-pouring into others can stall your own progress, and why it’s okay to build different cliques for different parts of your life.This isn’t about cutting people off. It’s about getting honest about what you need.Because loyalty without growth eventually turns into resentment.And it’s about damn time we talked about that.In this episode, I get into:Why being the “captain” of your clique can quietly hold you backThe difference between pouring into people and being pulled upWhy you don’t need one clique. You need the right onesHow your environment impacts your motivation, discipline, and goalsThe mistake I keep making with the relationships that actually push me forwardWhy balance beats grind culture and comfort every timeIt’s About DAMN Time SegmentIt’s about damn time you stop expecting one group of people to meet every need in your life.The D.A.M.N. ChallengeThis week, identify the cliques you actually need.Not who you’ve been loyal to. Not who’s always around.Who makes you better?For me, that’s:A fitness cliqueA creative cliqueA fun, blow-off-steam cliqueFigure out yours. Then start watering the right relationships.If this episode had you thinking about your circle, your growth, or your balance, share it with someone who might need to hear it too.Let’s build better environments.

| 1/13/26 | ![]() Everybody Can’t Have Me Right Now: Overextending Is Costing Us Everything | You ever think you’re burned out… but realize you’re just exhausted from being available to everybody but yourself?Yeah. That part.In this episode, I’m coming back from a short hiatus and telling the truth about why rest didn’t actually feel like rest. It wasn’t burnout. It was overextension.Too many conversations. Too much access. Too much proving love by showing up at the expense of my own goals.We talk about the difference between consistency and over-availability, how poor boundaries turn other people’s urgency into your emergency, and why this season of building requires less access to me and more commitment to myself.This isn’t about cutting people off.It’s about finally choosing yourself without guilt.🧠 Topics we get into:Why burnout isn’t always the real problemHow overextending for others drains your purposeThe lie we tell ourselves about “being consistent”Why availability is not the same as loveSetting boundaries without over-explaining yourselfChoosing your goals without feeling like the villain⏱️ Episode Highlights:“Everybody’s urgency became my emergency”Why helping everyone else kept me stuckThe cost of proving love through accessWhy this season requires less of them and more of me💬 It’s About DAMN Time Segment:It’s about damn time I limit access to pursue the goals and dreams I actually want and need.🎯 D.A.M.N. Challenge:Identify one place where you’re overextending yourself this week.Pull back without explanation.No long story. No justification.

| 10/9/25 | ![]() You ARE Enough… But I Get Why You Don’t Believe It Yet | Five years. Two Black Podcast Awards nominations. “Critically acclaimed.” I’m grateful, loud, and smiling… but here’s the truth: that outside validation didn’t magically fix my self-doubt.
