I sat down with my brother Hal Elrod for a real, honest conversation about growth, resilience, and what it truly means to become, even when life doesn’t go the way you planned.

We talked about the seasons that shaped us, the moments that forced us to rebuild from the inside out, and the mindset required to keep showing up when motivation fades. Hal shared powerful insights on discipline, purpose, and choosing how you respond when life tests you, and I opened up about lessons I’ve learned through setbacks, self-reflection, and protecting my peace.

This episode is for anyone who feels like they’re in the middle of the process. You’re not behind. You’re being built. Keep going. Your story is still unfolding.

Let me ask you something real quick and I want you to sit with this.

What… are you waiting for?

I mean really.

What are you waiting for to finally start?
To finally move?
To finally become who you keep saying you want to be?

Because here’s the truth and it might sting a little but nothing in your life is going to magically start or grow on its own.

Your life isn’t going to build itself.
Your business isn’t going to launch itself.
Your healing isn’t going to happen by accident.
Your purpose isn’t going to wake you up one morning and say, “Alright, I’m ready now.”

You have to create it.

Let me remind you of something you might’ve forgotten… you are worth it. Not when you heal. Not when you get it all together. Not when you finally become who you think you need to be. Right now.

In this episode, I’m speaking straight to the part of you that’s been questioning your value, settling for less, or shrinking because life made you doubt yourself. Your worth isn’t based on your past, your mistakes, your bank account, or who walked away from you. Your worth is intrinsic. It was placed in you before anyone had an opinion about you.

If you’ve been overgiving, underloving yourself, or allowing situations that don’t honor your heart, this conversation is for you. It’s time to stop asking for permission to be valued. It’s time to stop negotiating your worth. It’s time to choose yourself and live from the truth that you’ve always been enough.

This isn’t hype. This is a reminder. And sometimes a reminder can change everything.
