In this episode, Myles sits down with Miahjé, a Howard University alumna and Zeta Phi Beta member, for a candid conversation about love, healing, faith, and self-discovery. Miahjé shares her journey of writing on Substack, the transformative realization that no one is coming to save you, and the importance of intentional living and relationships. Together, they explore the messy process of growth, the power of taking control of your life, and the value of patience in building a lasting legacy.
Miahjé discusses her writing journey, which began as a personal journaling practice and evolved into sharing on Substack after a conversation with her best friend. She emphasizes that love acts as a mirror, reflecting our internal state, and that true change requires addressing the root within ourselves. She outlines her non-negotiables in dating, focusing on being 'equally yoked' in purpose and passion rather than agreeing on everything. The conversation challenges the myth that love alone sustains a relationship, highlighting the need for shared values and commitment. Miahjé shares her pivotal realization that no one is coming to save her, which empowered her to take control of her life and prioritize self-growth. She discusses overcoming the fear of being seen, the importance of authenticity, and how her faith has transformed her view on love. Healing, she explains, is a difficult purification process that requires the death of the old self. Finally, she advocates for creating without expectations and staying committed to the long game, emphasizing that sustainable success and a lasting legacy are built over time.
