I AM BRUSHAE

Hey Friend, Hey!

 

It's nice to meet you! I am Brushae Stinson, Host of The Unpopular Realist Podcast. Before I evolved into a podcast enthusiast, I was a girl who was lost, purposeless, and hopping from job to job. Yes! Me, I was lost but I made this shit look fun. Fake it until you make it, right? Wrong! I've learned that it takes faith, so I changed my way of thinking and now it's Faith it until you make it.

I am unapologetically black, I am a single mother, a daughter, sister, aunt, and friend. Since starting this journey I've also become a safe haven to my tribe, you (Glow Gang)! Who I am lies within MY STORY, just like you we all have a story to tell.

Why did I choose podcasting? This is my favorite story to tell... I'll try to be brief, no promises though.

In 2018, I made a bold decision of wanting to get my life back after being in this toxic relationship. I just wanted "ME" back. The sad part about it all is that.. I was not quite familiar with who that person was anymore. I was miserable, working (at what some people would say a good job), but that just was not enough for me. I wanted to know who I was, what my purpose was. What I did know is that what I was doing was not in alignment with my purpose.

Let's fast forward a bit. After, looking for what my purpose was from other folks, I sat my ass down and talked to the man in the mirror and God.. BOOM! The answer was in my face the WHOLE DAMN TIME! I had a way with words, when I spoke it made people feel better (or worse, let's be real I am healing, not healed.. YET), I gave people hope, and something to hold on to.

October of 2019 rolled around, and it was show time at the Apollo, baby. I launched my first episode for The Unpopular Realist Podcast. Everything was going well, but I still felt like there was something else that I needed. I seen an Instagram post from Chris Brown that ended with: " MY FREQUENCY IS LOVE 432hz 528hz." Everything came together for me along my spiritual journey. It was at that moment I decided to pivot. After March 2020, I took a break from podcasting to focus more on my spirituality, and thoroughly understand my purpose. Then I had this “AH HA” moment.

I have this loud projective voice and though I am unpopular, it does not mean that I do not have anything important to say. Besides, I understand that I am Brushae, I am the Loud-Mouf Healer, I am The Hope Dealer, I am The Unpopular Realist.

HOLD UP, wait... It took me some time to get where I am now. There is no overnight success story, trust me! I am still in the race to make it to the finish line.

It would be an honor to help you on your journey. As I commit to continually be your safe space, remain transparent, unapologetic, and the voice for us regular folk. Additionally, I understand that the title means nothing if the heart is not pure. Friend, I cannot wait to see you HEAL, GROW, AND GLOW!
