This one’s special. I’m taking you behind the scenes of Operation Be—not just the podcast, but the process… the journey… the evolution. I’ve changed. The show has grown. And today, I’m diving into how and why.

We’re revisiting one of my favorite episodes, Why We Practice, recorded five years ago. (Yes, I dug up clips!) That message? Still relevant. Maybe more now than ever. Because here’s the truth—consistency, self-awareness, and the practices we build daily are everything.

Over the past two years, I’ve faced some serious health challenges that forced me to slow down and reevaluate. It wasn’t easy. But it brought me back to the basics—mindfulness, reflection, true self-care. The kind that doesn’t look pretty on social media but actually works.

I hope this episode reminds you why you started. Why it matters. And that you’re not alone. Growth is gritty. But with intention and consistent practice, you're capable of more than you realize.

Let’s keep showing up. Together.
