This week’s episode isn’t the usual, it’s actually a phone call with my sisters. They called to check on me (lowkey intervention style lol), and it turned into a deep, honest reflection on the question: Am I okay? I talk about starting over, losing stability, feeling alone, and holding faith through it all. There’s no studio, no fancy setup — just raw emotion, real conversation, and a little laughter in-between. Note: This episode doesn’t have a visual version, but the video of the call will be posted on my vlog channel (linked below!) 📌 Follow the Podcast:📷 Instagram: @LMJST_pod & @__Ny.Lynette__💕 TikTok: @LMJST_pod & @__Ny.Lynette__▶️ YouTube: Let Me Just Say This (@LMST_Pod)🎥 Vlog Channel: Ny's POV (@NyLynette) #LetMeJustSayThis #SelfAwareEra #LMJST #StartingOver #FaithOverFear

This is your reminder that starting over is not failure—it’s redirection. 💕In this episode, I open up about losing my job, pivoting into content creation, and what it really feels like to start over at 27.

This week I’m talking about the Mariah the Scientist & Young Thug mess all over social media. And listen, this isn’t about dragging them, it’s about pulling the lessons. From tying your whole identity to a man, to codependent “my man, my man” energy, to how being in love can blind us to disrespect… we’re breaking it all down.

This week, I had to let the girls know what’s really going on.

✨Don't Let Fear Keep You Stuck in a Bubble!✨ "Are you walking in your purpose?" This question has been living rent-free in my mind since I turned 26! If I’m being honest, I know I’m not—and it’s time to change that. In this episode, I’m getting real and vulnerable as I share my second quarter-life crisis and what it’s like to navigate this new chapter of my life. For me, this means releasing what no longer serves me and making space for something greater. Spoiler alert: it’s terrifying! But life is too short to stay on a path that doesn’t align with who you’re meant to be. Sometimes, stepping into your purpose requires doing things you’ve never done to achieve things you’ve never had. Today, we’re unpacking what it means to walk in your purpose, trust God’s plan, lean into your unique talents, let go of control, and heal from the anxiety that’s holding you back. Enjoy🫶🏽. .
