In this powerful episode of Unlocked Limits, Mykeya Latia interviews Menzie Boykins, a stroke survivor who is living proof of the strength of faith and resilience. Menzie opens up about the traumatic moment her stroke hit and how it changed her life overnight. From experiencing sudden blurry vision, loss of mobility, and vomiting, to surviving a life-threatening brain surgery, Menzie’s story is nothing short of miraculous.

Menzie shares the pivotal role that faith played in her recovery, quoting scriptures that carried her through dark moments. With unwavering faith and determination, she defied the odds, embracing her recovery journey and rebuilding her life from the ground up.

In this episode, Menzie emphasizes:

• The critical signs and risks of strokes, and how awareness can save lives (remember FAST: Face drooping, Arm weakness, Speech difficulty, Time to call 911).
• The importance of living intentionally and valuing every precious moment.
• The role of sisterhood and community in overcoming adversity.
• How her recovery led her to write a book to inspire others, and her mission to raise awareness about stroke prevention.

Menzie’s transformation continues to inspire, as she now uses her voice to advocate for stroke survivors, caregivers, and those affected by adversity. She’s building a thriving business, sharing her story, and encouraging others to live boldly.

Be sure to tune in for an unforgettable conversation that will inspire you to push through any challenge life throws your way.

Welcome to the Direct Messages Podcast with Mykeya & Darius Barrett, where real life meets real love, and the conversations go way beyond surface level.

In this episode, we’re walking you through how our wedding went from a quiet courthouse plan… to a full-on celebration with 200 people, all in just 30 days. But trust us, this convo isn’t just about wedding planning. It’s about submission, sacrifice, emotional capacity, and letting God guide the process, even when the budget says otherwise.

We’re pulling back the curtain on:

• How we pulled off a wedding for under $10K (without looking like it)

• Why true submission isn't weakness, it’s wisdom • How we leaned on community, relationships, and God’s favor

• What emotional maturity looked like in real time

• How to plan with purpose, not pressure

• And Our Amazing Village

This one is for anybody building something meaningful, not just a wedding, but a life that honors God, serves others, and stays rooted in purpose.

In this episode, we dive into the real truth about life’s challenges and what it really means to overcome them. As business owners, entrepreneurs, and influencers, we’ve often been misled by the false narrative that once we "make it" or "overcome" something, life will become easy. But that's not the case.

Overcoming doesn’t mean it gets easier, it means you're equipped to handle the next challenge even better. Growth isn’t about escaping difficulties; it’s about developing the strength, endurance, and resilience to face them head-on. I break down why life’s struggles are never truly gone but are opportunities for you to build character and emerge stronger.

We also discuss why it's essential to stop buying into false realities of "instant success" and to embrace the idea that your journey will be filled with ups and downs, and that's okay. Your growth comes in the discomfort.

Tune in for a motivating conversation that will change how you view the challenges in your life and equip you to step into your power!
