Bet On Yourself: Reinvention, Resilience & Knowing Your Worth | Monesia Hobbs
What happens when the life you planned and the life you’re actually living look nothing alike?
On this episode of Light Work Era, Akilah Peters, LCSW, welcomes entrepreneur Monesia Hobbs for an honest, funny, and thought-provoking conversation about confidence, reinvention, relationships, career challenges, and the courage to keep moving forward.
Monesia shares her experiences navigating difficult workplace dynamics, making major life decisions, taking chances in business, and discovering what it means to truly know your worth.
We also explore why failure is part of the journey, how our relationships influence the decisions we make, and what happens when we stop trying to control every detail of our future.
Through it all, one thing stands out: Monesia’s confidence in her ability to figure things out, even when life doesn’t go according to plan.
This episode is for anyone who’s ever had to release an old vision of their life to make room for something new.
The plan may change. That doesn’t mean the possibilities have to shrink.
Listen in, and keep doing the light work.

The Art of Taking Your Magic Back |Lady Gray
What happens when a woman realizes she’s been leaving pieces of her magic everywhere she goes?
Lady Gray has an answer.
She’s a loctician, healer, mother, world traveler, proud member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated®, and a woman who refuses to be defined by just one thing.
In this episode of Light Work Era, Lady Gray and Akilah talk love, healing, culture, motherhood, wellness, service, protecting your energy and what it really means to live a rich life.
There’s wisdom in this one. There’s laughter. There are stories. And there are a few moments that might have you looking at the way you give, love and show up for everybody else a little differently.
Lady Gray says her religion is love. ❤️
But loving people and losing yourself?
Those are two different things.
This is The Art of Taking Your Magic Back.

Meet The Real Scoop: The Man Behind The Camera
What happens when the man who captures everybody else’s story finally tells his own?
Scoop is known as a photographer and creative, but his journey didn’t begin behind a camera.
In this episode of Light Work Era, he sits down with Akilah for a candid conversation about growing up in Long Beach, going from rapper to photographer, navigating setbacks, finding his creative voice and learning how to rebuild without repeating the same lessons.
Along the way come stories about Nipsey Hussle, Snoop Dogg, the C.O.C.O.A. Awards, Long Beach culture, faith, creativity and the experiences that have shaped his next chapter.
But this conversation isn’t simply about what Scoop has accomplished.
It’s about the man underneath it all
Sometimes reinvention isn’t becoming somebody new. It’s finally understanding all the versions of yourself it took to get here.
Welcome to The Real Scoop.
