In this episode of Growth Conversations, Ashley sits down with Keonté Beals, an award-winning musician turned author and storyteller, to explore the power of self-love and finding your voice.

KeontĂ© shares how his childhood and a defining moment in junior high school shaped his confidence, creativity, and sense of self after years of feeling unheard. Together, they discuss how belief, imagination, and self-worth influence the way we show up — not just as kids, but as adults.

You’ll hear about:

  • Why self-love is foundational to growth

  • The impact of having someone who believes in you

  • How creativity and imagination unlock confidence

  • What changes when you begin to value yourself

  • Practical advice for stepping into your voice

This episode includes a brief mention of suicide within a broader conversation about mental health and self-worth.

If you’re navigating your own growth journey or reconnecting with your voice, this conversation offers insight, perspective, and encouragement.
