In this episode of The Hood Debutante, I dive into one of the most important frameworks for understanding the people who move through your life: Reason, Seasons & Lifetimes.

We’ve all had relationships that changed us, challenged us, carried us, or quietly drifted away. And yet, we rarely stop to ask why they entered our lives in the first place — or what their true purpose was.

In this two-hour deep dive, I break down the three types of connections every human experiences, how to identify each one, and how to navigate the emotional terrain of beginnings, transitions, and endings. No personal stories — just universal truth, clarity, and the kind of grown conversation that helps you see your relationships with brand-new eyes.

We’ll explore:

✨ Reason People: Those who show up as lessons, mirrors, catalysts, and wake up calls

✨ Season People: The chapter shapers who align deeply but not permanently

✨ Lifetime People: The rare souls who evolve with you, expand with you, and grow beside you

✨ The shadow side of connection why some people can’t grow with you

✨ How to let go without losing yourself

✨ How to choose relationships that match the person you’re becoming

At its core, this episode is a reminder that every connection has a purpose, and peace comes from releasing people from roles they were never meant to play.

Some people are chapters. Some are footnotes. A blessed few are the book.

Press play and let’s talk about it.

EP 39: In this episode, I wanted to do something different not to fix emotions, but to understand them. We live in a world that teaches us to suppress what we feel, to hide behind calmness and call it control. But our emotions aren’t flaws they’re fluent, ancient languages trying to be heard.

The Language of Feeling is my translation of that inner dialogue nine emotional truths that live beneath the surface of who we are: Bitterness, Resentment, Discomfort, Anger, Disappointment, Guilt, Shame, Anxiety, and Sadness. Each one carries its own wisdom if you’re quiet enough to listen.

This episode isn’t about perfection or performance it’s about presence. It’s about learning to sit with yourself and ask, “What is this emotion trying to tell me?” Because peace doesn’t come from silence; it comes from understanding.

By the end of this conversation, I hope you see that your emotions were never the problem misinterpretation was. Every feeling you’ve ever had was a message from your soul, written in the language of being human.

A Black angel kneeling beside his reflection, staring down into red light while the air around him stays black and still.

Every time I look at it, I feel something ancient move in me. The image doesn’t look like faith. It looks like awareness the kind that burns and heals at the same time.

This episode is me sitting with that feeling asking what happens when light meets its own shadow.

When goodness begins to question itself.

When purity turns out to have edges.

I talk about the myth of moral perfection, the violence of pretending to be pure, and the beauty that comes from finally seeing yourself whole flawed, sacred, and real.

Because I’ve learned that light isn’t innocent.

It creates darkness just by existing.

And maybe that’s what makes it divine.

“Maybe the devil was never evil maybe he was just the first to question authority.

And maybe the angel who stares too long into the water doesn’t fall he finally sees the whole of himself.”
