Episode Description:

We often think about legacy as the things we leave behind—our titles, accomplishments, and possessions. But what if part of building a legacy includes knowing when to pause, heal, and restore ourselves? In this episode, I share a personal story from my family vacation that opened my eyes to the importance of healing as part of legacy-building.

It all started with some horseshoe crabs washed ashore on the beach in Ocean City. What I thought was just a quiet morning of reflection turned into a powerful lesson about life, legacy, and stepping out of my comfort zone. Along the way, we’ll explore how healing, support, and stepping out in faith all play a role in shaping the legacies we leave behind.

Tune in as we reflect on these key takeaways and consider how even small actions can have lasting impacts.

• Reflection on "Lean on Me" by Bill Withers: How the song hit me differently in this season, reminding me that we all need someone to lean on, especially as Black men.
