THE JTAPES

In this episode, I've decided to reintroduce myself. A lot has changed since my first episode. I hardly feel like I'm the same person. So, this is a little bit of who I am. ✨

What are you willing to give up for fame? I haven't recorded an episode in two weeks, but during that time I was able to watch 'Michael' in theaters twice . This gave me a lot of time to reflect and ask myself this question. Let's dive in. https://linktr.ee/jayjayeleven11?utm_source=linktree_profile_share&ltsid=b8bdd207-150d-4a39-bf8d-6dae546ac6f4

In this episode, I ask a question. Does life matter? I watched a Tik Tok video that inspired me to do some journaling on the topic. I just don't believe this is a simple yes or no question. (I also finally give my review on Kehlani's self titled 🙂 I want to hear your thoughts.

In this episode I'm talking about plants.... okay maybe not all about plants. My Peace Lily sparked a revelation for me. She had outgrown her current pot and it made me realize maybe I have too?

In this episode, Im just talking about music.. Alex Isley dropped a body of work that I'd like to call a masterpiece. It is packed with so much feeling.. I cried on my first listen 😭. I suggest you give it a listen! Check out the full pod episode on youtube: @TheJtapesPod All Links in the Linktree below: https://linktr.ee/jayjayeleven11

What started as a simple convo about biking and unreleased Brandy turned into something deeper. A moment in nature forced me to confront a blind spot I didn’t even realize I had and how I’ve been unconsciously stereotyping animals. LOL. This episode is really about awareness… and what happens when you finally see things differently. https://linktr.ee/jayjayeleven11

In this episode, Im getting into a lesson that life has been teaching me the hard way. Not everyone deserves a seat at the table.... not every update, win, or struggle needs an audience. I'm sharing how a recent situation helped me realize the powet of keeping certain things close to the chest, and why protecting your peace sometimes starts with protecting your words. 💫

Back on the couch with a matcha in hand and some real talk. Life has a way of circling back... same situation, different day. But the question is, did you actually learn the lesson or are you just retaking the test? I'm currently being tested 😩. Let's get into it. Oh and the matcha? 10/10! 😭 check out my linktree: https://linktr.ee/jayjayeleven11?utm_source=linktree_profile_share&lts...

A work injury left me with a scar and standing in the shower, I realized it was showing me something about healing that goes way deeper than skin. This episode is a true reflection and a reminder to nurse your wounds so they can heal beautifully. 🤎

This episode wasn’t planned, but as yall know,.. that’s the point. I started without knowing what I was going to say, and ended up talking about something we all need more of: intention. Being intentional with your time, your energy, your relationships, and your growth. Let’s talk about moving through life on purpose instead of on autopilot. I finally decided to post these on youtube so check this...

This is a long one, but it's worth it....At 27, I’m sharing the 7 lessons that shaped me the most this decade so far. The hard truths about relationships. The discipline I wish I developed sooner. The mindset shifts that changed everything. And the habits I had to kill to grow. 🌱 Follow me on tiktok: @Jayjayeleven11 Join DBN walk/run club @dothanbynature on IG

After a rough week, I made an intentional choice to step outside my comfort zone and try something new. That small decision shifted my energy more than I expected. This episode is about how being intentional (even in small ways) can help reset your mindset and bring you back to yourself. 🤎 Follow me on TikTok to see more of my music reviews! https://www.tiktok.com/@jayjayeleven11?is_from_webapp=1...

Navigating my 20s has come with moments where I felt behind or unsure if I should be further along. In this episode, I talk about giving myself grace, recognizing growth in real time, and how hearing Cranes in the Sky unexpectedly brought up emotions that reminded me everything is unfolding the way it needs to and to just slow down and feel. follow me on tiktok! @Jayjayeleven11 🫡

Happy Black History Month! Make sure you're honoring yourself and your history. 🤎 “You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.” — Maya Angelou We like to believe we’re in control, but the truth is we’re only responsible for how we respond. In this episode, I talk about letting go of what you can’t control and taking ownership of what yo...

The word 'accountability' kept showing this past week, and it forced me to take an honest look at how far I’ve come. In this episode, I reflect on my past struggles with accountability and criticism, and what self-development has required of me since then. I end the episode with a separate lesson sparked by a recent visit... one that put everything into perspective. 🐌✨

so fresh, so clean, .... but not yet. In this episode, I get honest about how I didn’t honor my commitment to clean my space this week, and what that avoidance revealed about my mindset. We talk discipline, procrastination, and why resetting your environment is really about resetting yourself.

In this episode, I talk about the desire to create freely and the tension that comes from being told to “pick one thing.” This is a reflection on wanting more, exploring multiple creative paths, and allowing yourself to evolve without shrinking your curiosity or ambition. If you’ve ever felt boxed in creatively, this conversation is for you. Check out who's been on my radar below!

In this episode, I talk about how watching the Stranger Things finale unexpectedly pushed me to tap into my own inner power. I share a few honest thoughts on the ending, what worked, what didn’t, and how even a lackluster finale can still spark something meaningful if you’re paying attention. This one is about inspiration, perspective, and choosing to pull strength from unexpected places.

I’m back after a few months away, and this morning reminded me why growth can’t wait. 'The Becoming" is all about stepping into your next chapter, embracing change, and showing up fully for yourself. It’s about the work, the reflection, and the transformation that gets you closer to who you’re meant to be.

For the final episode of the season, I’m reflecting on what it means to begin again. This isn’t just a wrap-up — it’s a reset. A space to breathe, release, and welcome whatever’s next. From endings that feel like losses to beginnings that feel uncertain, this episode is about learning to trust the transition. Thank you for rocking with me this season — here’s to growth, gratitude, and what’s comin...

What starts as a fun family game turns into an unexpected deep dive. In this episode, I share the story of how one random question unlocked a childhood memory — being called a “crybaby” — and how that label stuck with me. We’re talking about emotional expression, why so many of us learned to hide our feelings, and why it’s time to stop apologizing for being sensitive. If you’ve ever been told you...

In this raw, chaotic, and sun-drenched episode of The Jtapes , I dive into the meaning of being selfish—why it’s not a dirty word, and how reclaiming your time, energy, and peace is essential. Inspired by the soulful honesty of Little Simz and Cleo Sol’s “Selfish,” I unpack the power in putting yourself first, even when the world tells you not to. All this while recording on the go, sweating bulle...

In this week’s episode of The Jtapes , I’m getting real about body positivity and my own journey with body image.

This episode is for anyone who’s ever looked in the mirror and felt “not enough.” I hope it inspires yo...

In this 11th episode of The Jtapes , I’m diving into the meaning of the number 11 and what it’s come to represent in my life — duality, alignment, and the quiet reminder that everything is going to be okay ✨. To me, 11 shows up in both the highs and the lows, guiding me to trust the process and embrace the full spectrum of emotion. I’ve also curated a special playlist for this episode 🎧🌌 — a so...
