Show notes
Welcome back to Let’s Try This Again—I’m your host, B Simone, and this episode is all about stepping into your power, embracing honesty, and learning how to love yourself (and others) with intention. I’m joined by the brilliant Shan, a certified sexologist and relationship expert, and together we get real about confidence, self-discovery, and what it actually takes to build a life—and love—that feels authentic and fulfilling. We dive into the behind-the-scenes of my BET Awards look, but more importantly, how that moment represented a shift from “faking it till you make it” to truly feeling bold, beautiful, and confident from the inside out. Shan and I talk about the importance of knowing what you want in a partner, why your “romantic wish list” should be short and intentional, and how being honest with yourself (and others) is the foundation for real connection. I open up about my own journey—how I’ve sometimes focused on what’s missing in my love life instead of embracing the abundance that’s already here, and how I’m learning to ask for what I need, set boundaries, and trust that what’s meant for me is already on its way. We also get into the nitty-gritty of healing from toxic relationships, rebuilding confidence, and the power of surrounding yourself with people who see and celebrate the real you. Shan shares her own story of moving on from a manipulative relationship, finding love again, and why loving yourself—and being honest about your needs—is the ultimate act of self-care. If you’ve ever struggled with self-doubt, felt stuck in old patterns, or needed a reminder that you’re worthy of love just as you are, this episode is for you. Let’s keep growing, loving, and trying again—together. //Sponsor// Simply Pop: Go to https://www.coca-cola.com/us/en/brands/simply/simply-pop-podcast-tour to find out where you can try Simply Pop!
