Episode #16: Money, Power & Worthiness – Breaking Through Financial Blocks
In this episode of Tell Your Truth, host Shamika Brown-Upshaw pulls back the curtain on the real root of most money blocks: self-worth. She doesn’t sugarcoat it. Your financial reality? It’s not just about how much you earn. It’s a direct reflection of what you believe you deserve. This episode dives deep into the connection between money, power, and identity—exposing how early childhood experiences, generational beliefs, and subconscious programming shape how we give, receive, and hold wealth. Shamika blends science, spirit, and lived experience to help listeners rewrite the money stories that keep them undercharging, overgiving, or clinging to overflow in fear. Because true financial freedom doesn’t come from hustle—it comes from alignment. Listeners will walk away with a fresh understanding of how to align their mindset, expand their capacity, and embody the version of themselves who can hold abundance with ease. Takeaways Your financial reality is a reflection of your worth. Money is a mindset that requires a shift in self-concept. Wealth without worthiness leaves you searching for approval. Up to 95% of financial habits are subconscious. You attract what you feel safe receiving. Affirmations without healing won't work. Purpose work deserves to be profitable. You are not too much; your dreams are valid. Misalignment, not money, is the root of evil. You must own your worth to receive abundance. Chapters 00:00 The Mirror of Money and Self-Worth 05:33 The Science of Financial Habits 08:07 Spirituality and Money Mindset 10:48 Rewriting Your Money Story 13:36 Affirmations and Action Steps 16:00 Conclusion and Call to Action Links Book A Complimentary Soul Goals Clarity Call Head Game Wraps — because you’ve got to get your head in the game first: headgamewraps.etsy.com

Episode #15: When the Vision Feels Too Big
What if the vision isn’t too big... What if you’re just trying to carry it with an outdated identity? In this powerful episode, Shamika tells the truth about what it really feels like to carry a big vision with shaky faith. The conversation explores the relationship between self-doubt and the expansive nature of one's calling, emphasizing that discomfort is a natural part of the growth process. If you’ve ever looked at what God showed you and thought, ‘How am I supposed to pull that off?’—this conversation is for you.

We’re talking: What “overwhelm” really means in your purpose journey The neuroscience behind resistance + spiritual alignment How to stretch your identity to match your calling The 5 practical steps to move forward without proof Why shrinking is not humility—it’s sabotage And if you’re tired of doubting whether you’re really the one to carry the vision?

In this episode, Shamika breaks down one of the biggest myths ambitious women have been sold: that hustle guarantees success.

What if the reason you feel stuck isn’t because you’re unclear… but because you’re still shrinking? In this episode of 'Tell Your Truth', Shamika Brown-Upshaw discusses the concept of playing small and how it is often a choice driven by fear and societal expectations.

Episode #11: The Season of the Individual— Coming Home to Yourself
In this episode of Tell Your Truth, Shamika Brown-Upshaw shares a profound spiritual awakening that brought her into deep stillness, presence, and peace. It wasn’t loud or dramatic—but it changed everything. What unfolded was a divine moment of oneness, where Shamika wasn’t thinking about God or praying to God—she was with God. That moment revealed a powerful truth: we’ve been taught to look outward for identity, comfort, and direction… but the real answers come from within. Shamika explores what happens when we stop chasing external markers of safety—like titles, paychecks, or job listings—and start reconnecting with our soul. She speaks directly to those who feel stuck or uncertain, especially those trying to return to a version of comfort that may no longer exist. Throughout the episode, Shamika invites listeners into a conversation about choosing clarity over comfort, peace over panic, and truth over illusion. She shares her own personal shift into a more soul-led life, the freedom she’s now experiencing, and how you can begin shifting gracefully—without needing all the answers today. You’ll hear about: A quiet moment that sparked deep reconnection with self and Spirit Why striving and “fixing” no longer work in a season calling us inward The illusion of external comfort—and what to seek instead The two types of people rising in this shift (and how to know which one you are) What it means to live from the inside out—and how to begin doing it If you’re ready to get honest, get still, and return to who you really are—this episode is your homecoming.

Episode #10: Stop Waiting for ‘Motivation’ – The Truth About Self-Discipline
You’re not stuck because you’re unmotivated—you’re stuck because you’re waiting for a feeling to do what discipline was designed for. In this episode of 'Tell Your Truth', Shamika Brown-Upshaw delves into the myth of motivation and emphasizes the importance of discipline as a sustainable strategy for personal growth. The conversation explores how motivation is a fleeting emotional state influenced by various factors, while discipline is a deliberate choice that builds systems for long-term success. Shamika discusses the significance of aligning one's actions with their purpose and the role of energy and frequency in attracting desired outcomes. Practical steps for creating structure and discipline in daily life are provided, along with affirmations to reinforce positive habits. If you’ve been waiting to “feel ready”... this is your moment to move. You'll Learn: Motivation is not a long-term strategy; it's a temporary emotional state. Discipline is a choice that builds systems independent of motivation. Real freedom requires structure and support in your life. Your thoughts and actions create energetic signals that attract similar frequencies. Discipline helps you become a vibrational match for your desired life. Building habits around healing is essential for sustainable growth. You need to create boundaries around your energy to protect your focus. Simplifying systems makes it easier to show up consistently. Aligning your daily routines with your priorities fosters peace and clarity. Affirmations can reinforce the habits and mindset you want to cultivate.

Episode #9 — The Excuse Game: Why You’re Not Really “Too Busy” or “Not Ready”
You’ve told yourself it’s timing. You’ve told yourself it’s discernment. You’ve told yourself, “Let me just get through this season first.” But deep down… you know that’s not the real reason you haven’t moved. In this episode of Tell Your Truth, we’re breaking down the fear behind your most convincing excuses—the ones dressed up as wisdom, stewardship, and logic. Because here’s the truth: You’re not too busy. You’re not unprepared. You’re not waiting on God. You’re just scared. And that fear has been showing up as perfectionism, delay, over-responsibility, and overwhelm. In this episode, Shamika Brown-Upshaw explores the internal struggle between the part of us that is ready to rise and the part that holds us back. She emphasizes the importance of understanding our capacity, the illusion of readiness, and the detrimental effects of procrastination. Shamika encourages listeners to confront their fears, take small actions, and reclaim their power to live authentically. The episode serves as a call to action for those feeling stuck to break free from excuses and embrace their truth. You’ll learn: Why “too busy” is often just a boundary issue in disguise How “I’m not ready” becomes the most dangerous stall tactic How excuses rewire your brain and block your energy Why faith and fear can’t lead at the same time What to do when you’re tired of hiding behind logic and ready to move in alignment This is the permission slip your next level has been waiting for. Plus, Shamika shares the real reason this podcast almost didn’t happen—and how she finally stopped shrinking and started walking in full obedience.

EPISODE #8: Breaking the Cycle: Why It’s So Easy to Go Back—Even When You Know Better
You’ve healed. You’ve journaled. You’ve done the inner work. So why does it still feel like you’re circling the same mountain? In this episode, we’re talking about why your patterns keep repeating, even when you know better. Because growth alone doesn’t break the cycle—structure does. We’ll dive into: The real reason you default to old habits (even when you’ve outgrown them) How your nervous system, beliefs, and emotional memory keep pulling you back What your schedule, space, and daily choices say about who you believe you are The role of structure, identity, and support in rewiring your patterns—for good And I’m sharing a personal story that opened my eyes to the subtle ways I was still living from my old self… Even after I had claimed my freedom. This is the episode that will connect your healing to your habits—so you can stop just surviving transformation and actually start living it. Key Takeaways: Healing without structure is a setup for relapse Awareness won’t override a system built to survive your past You don’t need more effort—you need more access: to God, to your truth, to strategy that supports your evolution You can’t build your future from habits that belong to your past Mentioned in this Episode: Bob Proctor: “The subconscious doesn’t know the difference between real and imagined—it only knows what’s repeated.” Maxwell Maltz: “You cannot consistently perform in a way that’s inconsistent with how you see yourself.” Weekly Affirmation: 'I break every cycle that no longer serves me.

Episode #7: Walking In Your Truth When the World Expects the Old You
Let me ask you something real: What do you do when you’ve finally figured out who you are—finally gotten aligned—and now the people closest to you are still responding to the version of you that no longer exists? This one is for the woman who’s had the audacity to evolve—and is now feeling the pressure of everyone wanting her to go back to who she was. In this episode of Tell Your Truth, Shamika Brown-Upshaw gets real about what it means to walk in your truth when the people around you are still relating to the old you. From personal stories to psychological principles and Biblical truth, this episode breaks down how to stay grounded when your growth feels like a threat to others. This is where your transformation gets tested—not because you’re weak, but because you’re strong enough to change. If you’re in that sacred and dangerous space between who you were and who you’re becoming—this is your episode. What You’ll Learn: Why your growth can feel like rejection to others The psychology behind resistance from loved ones The spiritual, emotional, and neurological truths about identity shifts Practical steps to stay in alignment when you’re being pulled back Key Affirmation: "I trust who I’ve become. I honor this healed version of me. I protect her peace, her power, and her path. I am no longer available for roles that require me to forget who I am. And I will not shrink her to fit old expectations no matter who wants me to. She is not up for negotiation." Takeaways You've done the work, but the world may not be ready. Alignment is about honesty, not perfection. Your growth can make others uncomfortable. You are not responsible for others' discomfort with your growth. The pull of the familiar can be strong. Your boundaries highlight others' lack of them. Transformation confronts everything built around who you were. You don't need to be the version of yourself that people remember. Awareness is your anchor in maintaining alignment. Speak life over yourself every day. Chapters 00:00 The Journey of Self-Discovery 02:54 Understanding Alignment and Its Challenges 06:13 The Impact of Change on Relationships 11:13 Psychology of Growth and Resistance 15:57 Practical Steps for Staying Aligned 20:11 Affirmations and Moving Forward Ready to Go Deeper?

Episode #5: The Soul Beneath the Story: Who Are You Without the Mask?
We’ve been doing the deep work—shedding fear, breaking patterns, and calling out the lies. But once you’ve let go…what’s left? This episode is the answer. Today, Shamika invites you into the next layer of the journey—the return. Not to your job. Not to your titles. But to the truth of who you’ve always been. From neuroscience-backed mindset shifts to biblical truth and a powerful personal story, this episode reminds you: you were never meant to become someone new—you were always meant to come home to yourself. Because the more connected you are to your soul, the more powerfully you can create—and not from hustle, but from truth. What You’ll Hear in This Episode: The real reason your striving still doesn’t feel like enough We spend our lives trying to become more, but we should focus on revealing our true selves. The breakthrough lies in shedding what no longer serves us. Your soul is the source of your success, not your titles or achievements. Aligning with your true self leads to a fulfilling life. Your thoughts and beliefs shape your reality. Discomfort in self-discovery is a sign of awakening. Honor the version of yourself before societal conditioning. Alignment requires honesty, stillness, and surrender. Taking small actions towards your truth creates significant change. Affirmations can reshape your self-perception and reality. Affirmation of the Week: “I am not who the world told me to be. I am who God created me to be. Whole. Worthy. Already enough. And I choose to live from that truth.” Say it. Write it.

Episode #4: Fear is a Liar – STOP LETTING IT MAKE YOUR DECISIONS!
Let’s be real—fear has been running your life long enough. You call it timing. Strategy. “Being smart.” But deep down, you know the truth: You’ve been stalling. Shrinking. Playing it safe. This episode? It’s your wake-up call. If you’ve ever said: “I’m just waiting for the right moment…” “What if I fail?” “She’s already doing it—who would listen to me?” “I’ll go for it once I feel ready…” …then fear is calling the shots. But it doesn’t have to anymore. Inside this power-packed episode, Shamika pulls the mask off fear—exposing how it shows up in your mindset, your habits, and even your so-called logic. You’ll learn how to move despite fear, rewire your nervous system for courage, and finally make the decisions your next level is begging for. And the story she shares? It’s one decision that changed everything. Her career. Her marriage. Her family. Her legacy. All of it—on the other side of a “yes” she almost didn’t say. ✨ This episode will call you higher—and challenge every excuse you’ve been making to stay stuck. Takeaways Fear runs the show for way too many of us. Fear will always be present, but it has no voice unless you hand it the mic. Procrastination is fear pretending to be strategy. Courage isn't the absence of fear, it's moving despite of it. Your next chapter might be hiding behind fear. Awareness is powerful, but it's not enough; action is required. Fear loves to keep you stuck in thinking mode. You have no idea what's waiting for you on the other side of your yes. Gratitude can disrupt fear and shift your energy. The power you're looking for is already in you.

Episode #3: The Receipts Never Lie – Your Life is Proof of What You Believe!
You say you believe for more. You say you want better. But does your life actually reflect that? In this episode of Tell Your Truth!, we’re not guessing anymore—we’re auditing. Because your results? They don’t lie. They are the clearest mirror of your subconscious beliefs. If Episode 2 cracked something open, this one is about accountability. Radical, uncomfortable, soul-aligning accountability. We’re breaking down: The real reason your life looks the way it does How your self-image and belief system shape your results The Reticular Activating System and how your brain filters reality Why you keep repeating patterns—even when you say you want change With wisdom from mindset pioneers like Dr. Maxwell Maltz and Bob Proctor, and a powerful personal story of surrender on Shamika’s own front porch, this episode delivers both the truth and the tools to shift what’s been keeping you stuck.

And let me say this upfront: Your truth isn’t just in what you say—it’s in the results you’re producing, the energy you’re carrying, and the reality you’re living. It’s in the money you make (or don’t), the relationships you build (or burn), and the risks you take (or talk yourself out of). You see…Your life is proof of what you believe—whether you admit it or not.Your results do not lie. They are the receipts of your mindset, your habits, and your choices.And if you keep ignoring the truth in front of you, you will keep rewriting the same chapter instead of turning the page.So if you’re tired of spinning your wheels, tired of saying you want more but never making a move, tired of playing small when you know you are meant for more…Welcome home.Every week, we’re going beyond the surface—calling out the lies we tell ourselves, releasing the patterns that no longer serve us, and shifting you into alignment with the life you actually want to live. Because the truth? The truth will set you free—but only if you stop running from it.This is Tell Your Truth!
