We finally watched the Netflix Diddy documentary and we have THOUGHTS. 50 Cent really said "let me show you receipts from the beginning" — and honestly? We were not prepared. From Diddy's come-up to Biggie and Tupac, the shady industry dealings, and everything that led to where we are now... this documentary had us FIRED UP.

💬 COMMENT BELOW: Did you watch the documentary? What surprised you the most? Are you team "I already knew he was shady" or were you blindsided?

You can’t heal what you won’t face.
Pushing down negative thoughts doesn’t make them go away—it makes them louder in the background of your life.

In this episode of Unfiltered & Unstoppable, we’re talking about how to stop burying your fears, shame, and doubt, and start bringing them into the light where they lose their power.

If you want peace, you’ve got to be willing to face the hard stuff first.

🔥 In this episode:
✅ Why “just think positive” doesn’t work
✅ How to confront your dark thoughts with compassion
✅ What it actually means to release and let go

Fear is loud. But your dreams should be louder.

In today’s episode of Unfiltered & Unstoppable, we’re talking about how fear tricks you into living small—and how to take your power back. You don’t need to wait until you feel “ready” to live the life you want. Fear is always going to be there—the difference is whether you let it control you or you move through it.

🔥 In this episode:
✅ Why fear is a liar and how to see through it
✅ How to stop waiting for “the right moment”
✅ Simple mindset shifts to move with courage, not comfort
