What if the questions you ask yourself matter more than the answers you chase?In this week’s episode, I sit down with my co-host and friend, Safiya Robinson, to explore how curiosity and small steps can shift the deepest stories we carry.Safiya shares what it was like growing up in Barbados, the beauty, the bonds, and the silent beliefs she didn’t even know she was carrying. From feeling like she didn’t fit in, to questioning whether people truly cared for her, to realizing later in life that many of those stories weren’t true at all.Along the way, Safiya discovered the power of asking different questions and taking small, doable steps. Questions like: What if I was wrong about myself? What else could be possible? And steps like finishing a blog post, writing a book, or daring to send an email that opened a door.This conversation is a reminder that change doesn’t come from knowing all the answers. It comes from staying curious, asking expansive questions, and taking one small step at a time.What You’ll LearnHow small experiments build self-trustWhy asking different questions can unlock new possibilitiesThe hidden weight of childhood beliefs (and how to release them)Why there’s no such thing as a “proper adult”Connect with SafiyaWebsite: www.writingblackjoy.comThe Writing Black Joy Podcast: Apple PodcastsSpotifyYouTubeResources & LinksWant to work together 1:1?
