In this episode, Shamika breaks down one of the biggest myths ambitious women have been sold: that hustle guarantees success. From staying up until 3 a.m. to burning out in the name of "discipline," she shares her own wake-up call and why alignment—not over-efforting—is the true pathway to peace, prosperity, and purpose.

If you’ve ever felt stuck even though you’re doing “everything right”—updating your LinkedIn, taking on extra work, attending every webinar—but still not getting the opportunities, clients, or clarity you crave… This episode is your reminder that your energy—not just your effort—is what’s calling the shots.

Shamika walks you through the mindset, spiritual, and energetic shifts that purpose-seeking women must make to stop performing and start receiving. Whether you're a professional contemplating entrepreneurship or already building something behind the scenes, this is the episode that helps you reset from hustle to alignment—without guilt.

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.
