REAL TALK WEEKLY  

---

Hey Real Talk Family,

Let me talk to you for a second...

Too many people are surviving what they were created to transform. You wake up, go to work, check the boxes, pay the bills—but deep down, you're wondering, “Is this it?”

Let me remind you: you weren’t created for routine—you were created for impact. If life’s been feeling too noisy, too routine, too exhausting—it’s not because you’re weak. It’s because you’ve forgotten to check in with you.

This week, I challenge you to pause. Not to give up… but to look inward. Because your next breakthrough won’t come from outside validation. It will come from an inside revelation. And that starts by truly getting to know the version of you that’s been buried beneath people-pleasing, past mistakes, and small thinking.

Let’s get it.

In Case You Missed It: Last Week’s Podcast Highlights

Stop Running: Embrace Your Dreams and Desires

What if the only thing standing between you and the life you desire… are you running from it?

In this powerful motivational speech, Reginald D confronts one of the most overlooked struggles holding people back: running from the very dreams they were born to pursue. If you’ve ever let fear, failure, or the opinions of others convince you that your desires weren’t meant for you, this motivational episode is your wake-up call.

Reginald D dives deep into how our past pain, setbacks, and disappointments fuel self-sabotage—and how to break free from the cycle of running. From personal reflections to bold truths, this is the episode that challenges you to stop playing small and start living fully. Your future is waiting—will you stop running long enough to claim it?
