What if the stress, burnout, and emotional exhaustion you’re feeling isn’t just life — but an invisible fee you’ve been paying for years? In this raw and revealing motivational episode, Reginald D dives deep into the hidden emotional, spiritual, and mental tariffs that silently drain our joy, faith, and purpose. From trauma-induced beliefs to generational pain and toxic relationship cycles, Reginald D unpacks how we’ve been taxed by fear, doubt, shame, rejection — and how to cancel those spiritual fees once and for all. If you’ve ever felt stuck, unworthy, or spiritually bankrupt, this is your wake-up call to walk in the freedom Jesus already paid for . Let's declare your independence from emotional debt and build a life of healing, faith, and abundance.

This episode tackles those unseen costs and empowers you to cancel emotional debts passed down from childhood, relationships, or trauma — replacing them with purpose, healing, and truth. If you’ve been overthinking, over giving, or overworking to feel “enough,” you’ll discover how to stop financing your past and finally live free. 3 Key Benefits You’ll Walk Away With: A renewed understanding of your identity in Christ and how to stop letting pain define you Practical insights to identify and cancel emotional and spiritual fees you never agreed to Encouragement to set boundaries, rewrite your internal beliefs, and step boldly into your purpose Press play now and cancel the emotional fees you’ve been paying too long — freedom is your new currency.
