REAL TALK WEEKLY

Your Midweek Push to Get Back in Position and Power!

Hey Real Talk Family,

Today, I want to pause and thank you. Whether you’ve been with me since episode one or just tapped in last week—you’re part of this movement. Real Talk With Reginald D Podcast just hit 200 episodes, and it’s all because you kept showing up with open hearts and a hunger for truth, healing, and purpose. So, this week, we’re celebrating not just a milestone—but a moment of gratitude, growth, and God’s grace.

In this special episode, I reflect on the journey, the lessons learned, and how your support continues to fuel this mission. We’re not just building a podcast—we’re building legacy, one real story at a time. And as we look ahead, I believe the best is still to come.

Let’s keep rising together!
