Our heart and your brain are already communicating. Stop acting like you have to choose one.Head vs Heart. Logic vs emotion. Overthinking vs feeling too much. At some point, we all end up here: stuck between what makes sense and what feels right. In this episode, I’m unpacking the very real battle between logic and emotion when it comes to love, dating, and relationships. Newbies — hiiii, welcome to the tribe!

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. Then I share a little word that’s been on my spirit: sometimes God does answer our prayers, it just doesn’t look the way we pictured.

Storytime of my Charlotte date with an older man..... From hotel “jump scares” to a sobering reminder about sexual compatibility, I break down what I learned about alignment, people-pleasing, and why I don’t want a man who just wants to experience me.

This week, I had to let the girls know what’s really going on. I break down the real-life implications of the recently passed U.S. budget bill — from cuts to Medicaid and SNAP to changes in student loans and reproductive rights. Then we get into the Ashanti & Nelly drama and the harsh reality of “married single motherhood.” Finally, I give my 2 cents on the Christian fundamentalist girly character arc and why you should be seeking God for you, not for a man. If it stings, it’s because it’s true. ✨ Don’t forget to follow, rate, and share if this episode hit home!📌 Follow the Podcast:📷 Instagram: @LMJST_pod💕 TikTok: @LMJST_pod🎥 YouTube: Let Me Just Say This Podcast on YouTube#LetMeJustSayThis #LMJSTpod #ChristianPickMe #AshantiAndNelly #BigBrutalBill #SoftGirlEra #ModernMotherhood #SpiritualJourney #FaithNotFear #HotTopicsPodcast #BlackGirlCommentary #PodcastForBlackWomen #SelfAwareEra #DatingAndFaith #RelatablePodcast
