In this raw and revealing episode of The Self-Aware & F**ked Up Podcast, host Sandtrice Russell (Tree the LPC) sits down with K. Noel Jordan—author, speaker, and host of the Relentless Conversations Podcast—for a conversation that cuts through the polished version of self-help and gets into the messy middle of growth.
K. Noel opens up about the struggle of motivating others while wrestling with his own internal battles. He shares how isolation became a tool for clarity, allowing him to place people in the right categories in his life, and how developing emotional intelligence helped him respond with less ego.
Most powerfully, K. Noel discusses his journey of transforming his inner saboteur “Krazy K” into King K. Noel—a shift rooted in self-awareness, humility, and faith. He reflects on disconnecting from God through life’s challenges, and the lessons he learned while finding his way back.
Tree the LPC also gets personal about her own struggles with motivation, including moments where she considered stepping away from the podcast due to lack of engagement, proving that even leaders, healers, and motivators have their f**ked up days too.

This episode is for anyone caught between who they’ve been and who they’re becoming—reminding us all that growth is relentless, but so is grace.

In this powerful episode of The Self-Aware & F**kedUp Podcast, host Sandtrice Russell (Tree the LPC) sits down with Marquis “Red” Jackson—author, poet, mentor, and speaker—for a raw conversation about survival, healing, and rewriting your story.

Marquis opens up about his childhood growing up with a mother battling drug addiction, the pain of being hospitalized for suicidal ideations, and receiving diagnoses of depression and bipolar disorder. He shares how he transformed his struggles into art by turning poetry about his challenges into a moving series of short stories designed to help others expand their lens on life.

Now a devoted husband, father, and leader, Marquis talks about breaking generational curses, leading without ego, and finding strength in vulnerability. Tree also reflects on her own experiences, reminding us that being a product of your environment doesn’t have to define you—it can refine you.

This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt broken by their past but still believes in the possibility of healing, legacy, and love.

In this powerful and deeply vulnerable episode of The Self Aware & F**ked Up Podcast, host Sandtrice Russell (Tree the LPC) sits down with Jamie Hughes—social psychologist, trauma recovery coach, and author—to unpack the lasting impact of childhood trauma on the brain.

Jamie shares his personal story of losing his mother at just eight years old and being forced to live with a father he had never met until her death. In the midst of grieving, he endured emotional abuse for expressing his pain, leading to years of internalized shame and being labeled a “bad child.” His journey of survival and self-discovery ultimately led him into the field of mental health, where social psychology not only gave him the tools to understand his trauma—it saved his life.

Tree also opens up about her own struggles with grief and trauma after losing her father, and how beginning EMDR therapy became a turning point in her healing. Together, she and Jamie explore how unprocessed trauma can shape behavior, why children are often misunderstood in their pain, and what it takes to finally break free from the labels of the past.

This episode is both an honest reflection and a roadmap for anyone navigating the lifelong effects of trauma while searching for understanding, compassion, and healing.

In this deeply honest episode of The Self Aware & F**ked Up Podcast, host Sandtrice Russell (Tree the LPC) sits down with Marcia R. Blane, LPC—licensed professional counselor, certified hypnotherapist, owner of Peculiar One Counseling, and host of the Authentically Peculiar with Marcia podcast—for a powerful conversation about Black women, anger, and the myth of the Superwoman.

Tree opens up about reaching her own breaking point—snapping under pressure, walking away from work, and realizing her anger was more than just a reaction—it was a signal. Marcia offers expert insight into how the pressure to always "hold it down" leads to chronic burnout, emotional suppression, and mental fatigue. Together, they dismantle the cultural conditioning that tells Black women they must be everything to everyone—at the cost of their own wellness.

Marcia shares the signs that you’re headed for burnout (or already there), the hidden ways people-pleasing shows up, and how to begin the journey back to your authentic, rested, and emotionally honest self.

This episode is a must-listen for every Black woman who’s been told she’s too strong to break and too angry to be heard.

In this inspiring and unfiltered episode of The Self-Aware & F**ked Up Podcast, host Sandtrice Russell (Tree the LPC) sits down with media correspondent, red carpet host, and event curator Princess Banks for a raw conversation about the highs, lows, and healing that come with chasing your purpose.

Princess opens up about her leap of faith to Atlanta, how she built a thriving career with BET+, TVOne, and Dish Nation, and the personal sacrifices that came with success--- including the heartbreak of losing a lifelong friendship and navigating fake connections in a city that often feels more performative than personal.

From being used for celebrity access to staying grounded in her spiritual calling, Princess keeps it real about the emotional toll of being the “go-to girl” while secretly needing a safe space of her own. If you’ve ever felt lonely in a crowd, been burned by people you trusted, or are balancing visibility with vulnerability, this episode is for you.
