What happens when you reach the peak of cultural influence and realize it's actually a cage?
To start off this new season of NextUp, podcaster and former OnlyFans star Nala Ray joins the conversation to pull back the curtain on the platform world. From navigating the relentless microscope of social media to finding a deeper identity in Christ, Nala shares with us the raw reality of leaving behind a massive platform to find true surrender. Listen as she explores the tension between building a name for yourself and discovering a calling in Christ that actually lasts.
In this episode, we discuss:
✅ The trap of "living your truth" and the search for objective reality.
✅ Navigating public scrutiny without losing your soul.
✅ Why surrender is the most courageous move a leader can make.
✅ Practical discernment for the next generation of leaders.
Nala's journey offers a powerful framework for what it means to lead with a servant's heart and finish well, whether you're leading a business, a ministry, or simply crafting your own digital footprint.
