Nobody Talks About What Happens When You Start Growing | K Boogie | TMC Ep. 54

Nobody talks about what happens when you start growing.

You change. Your relationships change. Your priorities change. Your family needs you differently. You start seeing yourself differently. And sometimes, the hardest part isn't becoming the next version of yourself — it's figuring out what to do with everything that comes with it.

In Episode 54 of The Middle Child Podcast, Royal Boles sits down with K Boogie for a deeply honest conversation about growth, relationships, family, faith, podcasting, emotional intelligence, rest, fitness, and becoming more intentional with your life.

K Boogie describes his current season in one word: ASCENDING. After spending 11–12 years working for the Department of Homeland Security, he left his job to pursue podcasting and media full-time. What started as a conversation on someone else's podcast eventually became Talk Vibe Hustle — a platform built around conversation, community, and showcasing the people and stories of Birmingham.

But this conversation isn't just about podcasting. It's about what happens when you outgrow relationships. It's about learning when to let go. It's about understanding that rest is part of growth. It's about emotional leadership in relationships. It's about taking care of yourself. And it's about realizing that the things you say into a microphone can actually change somebody else's life.
