Episode Synopsis

In this raw and unfiltered episode of Growth Unscripted, I unpack the emotional weight of dating in a space that doesn’t match your frequency. From feeling ghosted after deep conversations to struggling with being misunderstood and emotionally unreciprocated, I open up about what it’s been like being single for the last 8 months — while also fighting financial stress, isolation, and the weight of unaligned connections.This one’s not polished. It’s not meant to be. It’s a voice note to my soul — and maybe yours too. If you’ve ever been tired of faking like you’re okay just to survive, this one’s for you.Listen in if you're:A Black man trying to navigate connection and self-worthTired of shallow dating poolsLooking for real, raw vulnerability in podcast formReady to hear someone say what you've been holding in
