It’s Okay to Not Be Okay (But You Have to Keep Going) (EP. 204)

from The Positivity Hour · host Darshaun Smith

In this episode of The Positivity Hour, I get real about something we all deal with but rarely talk about: not being okay. Life gets heavy, and sometimes the pressure, the setbacks, and the expectations start piling up until you feel like you’re drowning. That’s exactly where I was — and it’s the reason I made my new mixtape.Today, I break down the full story: the adversity, the copyright issues, the frustration, the delays… all of it. But more importantly, I share why I created the project in the first place. I wasn’t okay. I needed an outlet. I needed something that reminded me what joy felt like. I needed something that made me excited to wake up again.And the crazy part?Starting small — creating something just for me — brought me back to life.Now I love life again. I love the grind. I love the process. I want to keep going. And none of that would’ve happened if I quit the moment things got rough.This episode is a reminder that it’s okay to struggle, it’s okay to fall apart, and it’s okay to not feel like yourself. But you have to keep going. You have to create something. Try something. Start small. Because the smallest step can be the thing that saves you.Tap in. This one’s for anyone fighting silent battles.TIMESTAMPS:0:00 INTRO0:43 WELCOME0:50 TIME CAPSULE2:20 MAIN TOPIC11:30 WISDOM FROM YOUR OG15:06 OUTRO / NEXT WEEK'S TOPIC!VISIT MY WEBSITE TODAY: And book a shoot!!https://www.dsmithproductions.com/ VIEW ALL MY SOCIAL LINKS:https://linktr.ee/The_positivity_godNow do yourself a favor and like, subscribe, dislike, unsubscribe, hate comment, share, or report, I don't care what you do, as long as you are staying positive at the end of the day, that's all that really matters.
