Season 5: SS5 - Pepita Talks Big Mistakes, Big Lessons & Being Ready for Bigger & Better Things! 

All she needed as a young lady was guidance. Same thing they did to Milk. To this day both of them are still two of my favourite TV personalities! You will rise again Pep!!

Nobody does intense as good as Pepita. She was warm and genuine.

I remember always staying up to watch her and I was around 12 years old. I was really sad when I wasn't seeing her on tv anymore. I searched every social media platform for her and couldn't find her. A few months after that I named my cat Pepita. I am now 21...There is something special about you pep! and you are in my prayers.

Can we talk about how Simone's motherly instincts were just pouring through on this episode. You could see in her eyes and facial expressions the genuine care and concern for Pepita. Usually I'm focused on the guest but this episode, Simone really caught my eye.

People love graveyards so no matter how you resurrect yourself and leave the grave clothes in the tomb.There are those of us to who feel the need to constantly guh dig up the bone dem. All when the bones dem turn powder, Dem rather tek shovel tek it up. What nuh dead nuh call it duppy.Well done Miss Pep,admired you all those years ago. Keep growing

Pepita ❤️ … I pray for her strength. Man may have blacklisted you but God has bigger things in store for you

Do not let anyone handcuff you to your past! Powerful episode‼️

I wish media entities could stop blacklisting young media personalities after issues arise. Intense was no longer the same after she left. I've always wondered what happened to her but I'm glad to know she's doing absolutely well. Pepita, you are destined for greatness and all things come together for good sweetheart.

I love that phrase "Don't let anyone handcuffed you to the past"

Simone ur voice is amazing.....there is this soothing sweet sound in ur voice that makes u feel like everything will be fine.....who wouldnt cry .U were so right when u chose media.

I have never cried so much in my entire life....this enterview have me crying from start to finish

She said "I have people ", a lot of us with many friends are feeling alone. We need to be the friends we want and offer support without reservations. This episode should serve as a reminder.

This interview is so beautiful, her words alone shows how much she has grown.

Jamaican people are not really a forgiving set of people. When you makes mistakes they bury you. Give the young people a chance to grow.

People fear you most when you are no longer who they knew you to be so they try to drag you back to the past you. But everyone has a right to change whether 11yrs 11 months or 11 secs from who you were. Keep pushing Pep!!

I don’t know if it’s pep journey have me crying, her friend’s words of encouragement or just the overall talk show. You’re strong Pep, I’m happy God didn’t let you down gives me hope that everything fall’s in place! Simone your voice omg so soothing and relaxing! I cry enuh, pep you’re awesome 🙏🏾❤️ You deserve all the love, blessings and every little thing that’s about to come but down I wish you the calmest peace for the rest of you life hence you really deserve it. Your story is one for the books ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Sooooo happy for her healing and growth and wishing her all the best!

You were the BEST host for Intense. Always searching for you until I found out you were dismissed. Love you girl your energy was /is GENUINE ❤❤🙏🙏

Met pepita once and she has such a good spirit what is for you will be for you girl keep pushing 🙏

Wow! This is so powerful. So much substance. It is really sad how much people hold people hostage to their past. I am so happy for her. Keep up the good job Simone.

When i was a child … well since it was 11 years ago i was 8/9. I really fell in-love with that voice, face and energy. I had a hard time dealing with her not being on my tv again. It truly broke my heart that i never heard anything about her again…. until now! thank you simone.

Pep you're not alone. I remember seeing you on the bus once going to/from the airport. I loved how sweet and cheerful you seemed. I'm sure you still are the sweet soul. I pray that God will continue to bless you and you will not feel less than because of your past/ struggles. You know they say God gives the toughest battles to his strongest soldiers. God has got you...and remember other people's opinion of you does not have to be your reality. Sending you lots of love, healing and positive energy.💕💕

Woke up feeling so low as I'm really going through it right now. Watching this video had me in tears. It really lifted my spirits & gave me hope that I can overcome.

I so love this girl.After she wasn't on intense I stopped watching. She was the life of that show.

It was always so evident to me that Pepita needed healing and guidance. She always seemed so broken to me and have cried out for GRACE. You have it Pepi. *God TRULY loves you and NO ONE can take that away! I pray you continue to SHINE in his light* 💕

Pep remember tough times don't last only tough people do 🙏🥰

I was looking at the lump at her throat from the beginning and was feeling super concerned. Checked the comments to see if anyone mentioned it. Thanks God she knows about it and and is working on it. Love Pepita 😘

Really blessed by this interview, Pepita, stick with Goddddd! You're gonna go far!!!

Love you Pep. I'm grateful that God brought you through every hard trial and drew you closer to his love for you

She didn't kill anyone, neither did she stole anything. Why treat her like a criminal? She was a young girl trying to make a honest life. Come on TVJ give her a chance, she helped to build ur company. God forgives us, why can't u forgive an get pass this.

I really cried with her such a beautiful soul blessings to you Always Pepita

This brought tears to my eyes. Waiting patiently for you come back sis. Every setback is for a greater come-back

I never normally comment on these videos but from I saw the ad of her coming on the show I said I had to watch it and I just want to say how proud of pepita I am I love this for her❤❤ keep going sis

Beautiful interview. You will rise, your worst days are behind you and your best days are ahead of you. Greatness will come out of you because the Lord has chosen you to be His mouthpiece. God bless you Pepita, Jesus loves you. Big up girl, your past is your past, embrace your future with God as your guide.

My heart resonate with Pepita from I first heard her story many years ago.. I am so thankful I listened to this. This ministered to my brokenness and lack of self love. Thank you Pep and Sim.

Pepita girl I'm so incredibly proud of you. 👏 Every couple yrs I Google this girl cus I always wondered what happened to her. You are unforgettable girl & you have a natural gift/talent. I'm about to subscribe to your RU-vid Channel. 11 years is more than enough time!!!...I don't even wanna hear about ur mistake no more. Everyone does silly stuff as teenagers. Give the lady a break already! Keep soaring high Pepita...if they blacklist u, build ur own platform.

Such a beautiful soul , you will rise again mama .. We believe in you 💛

I never watch sim soul sessions and don’t shed tears 😭😭omg I love this interview I love this I saw some of myself in the pass in pep but I have learn to be a better person

This is Pepita's interview but Kiki came through with her kind words. Kiki should consider doing workshops to help women because there are so many women hurting. Kudos to Pepita for who she has persevered.

this interview have me crying like a baby. I pray God continues to strengthen u baby girl❤

Thank you for this Sim. Pepita you are loved.

This show is definitely healing. 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

We want Sim Soul Session to go on for ever and ever!!💕💕💕💕

Taking that moment for yourself is soooooo crucial and alot of times (in most cases) it's at our lowest point and broken moment we get to this stage. And the best things is....God is always at the centre!!! Big up u Pepita...God is taking you higher and on to greater things..❤❤❤❤

Wow life has taken such a tool on this girl. I pray for peace and happiness for her.

Simone I love you and your shows . You keep me crying girl, stay strong my dear .

I used to love this girl girl love love her she was one of the reasons why I used to watch intense still love her just didn't know what happened to her I tell you Simone everyone who comes in your program seems like the floodgates just open Sometimes you see people on TV and you don't know what they are going True boy I do hope she bounced back stronger and a better person

Pepita you're beautiful, and sooo intelligent. It's clear you're in a better place on your journey, as Kiki said sharing your struggles helps others who are still stuck in the place you were 11 years ago, because they don't know or have someone to help them do the soul work. So inspired by your programme, Simone. What would be nice is if you can make a list of free or low cost or volunteer-led support groups/mentors/coaches/counselors/ministries/safe houses in each parish available, maybe in the video description, where people can find help, or maybe do a show devoted to that- where can people find real, great quality support for their personal crises. There's not too much of that info out there in curated form.

Been waiting on this thank you queen Simone for always keeping me tuned in

I have always admired Pepita and life happens but thank God He’s with you Pep 🙏🙏

This was such a good conversation. Thanks Pep, thanks Sim. 👏🏽❤

I loooooove this.. very emotional but this is just raw unfiltered and beautiful. Thanks to you Simone for having Pepita❣

I always wondered what happened because she was such a good tv host happy to hear she is on a journey of healing more power to u Pep ☀️ no one is perfect

I love pepita no matter what shes been though, wishing you all the very best in life.

This means so much to me cause I can relate and so proud of you to be able to share ❤❤❤❤❤alot of love

Thank you again Simone for another great episode of inspiration, strength, and motivation. I'm crying as always. God's richest blessings.

Who Would Know All Of This Without Pep Saying All Of This 🤷🏽‍♀️ This Is Just A Perfect Example To Be Kind To People You Never Know What They Going Through 💯💯🙏🏽

Pepita girl, your experiences and God are going to be fuel for the greatness you will accomplish. You are sooooo going to make it. And your life and accomplishments will inspire so many. Hold on to God. Never forget Him

Thanks for sharing your story. There are people out there very well dressed but are inches away from losing hope and need to be encouraged by your kind words and powerful resilience.

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭... I love you peps! Thank you Sim for this beautiful episode!

SIM, I have no more tears to cry ... please put this show on pause ... my God ... #SimSoulSessions ... awhmazing

"Take the constructive criticism but don't tie your self to what people think" - Pepita!! That is a word!!

It is difficult when they are not around but when your parents are alive and there is disconnect it cuts deep.

I am happy to see you growing and glowing i can't wait to see the heights you reach and no focus pon no locust. All the best lots of love our chica Pepita!!

Honestly I cried 😭 because I always admire Pepita I see her the other day and I was so happy to see her because I was so concerned about her and wanted to know where she have been. You're story really melted my heart ❤ continue to stay strong 💪 mama.

Thank you God for sending the right people to help Pepita. The devil has accused her long enough and now she has come through on the other side of the trails. The blessings will flow as she walks in her destiny. Gates will open to receive you! God bless you Queen...God bless you!

I am glad this program reached out to her. Kudos to Television Jamaica 🇯🇲

This made me cry can literally feel her pain and you have so much purpose and it’s a reason your still here,God has your back🙏🏽

Anyone else affi always have a box of tissue when watching this program.....love you Sim Sim

Wow sim..so many famous people out there that we admire are going through stuff..when we think that they have it all keep bringing out these people so others can understand that these are real people going through real stuff..

Simone thanks for this show trust me you motivate me with this show every Monday night 🙂🙂🙂🙏🙏🙏

Them blacklisting her was so bad because there was no other young talent like her. Still up to this day.

We need to learn forgiveness and like Keke said don't handcuff people to their past.

This brought me to tears, may you continue to bask in your blessings

Love this interview badly ! Keep up the work

I kinda understand what she went through. Pep should write a book. Blessings to her!

Pep you’re a star!! Go and be great🙌🏾🙌🏾

Great interview! I miss you Pep on television. Let go and let God take control girl. You are talented and you will do well.

OMG 😲 its the first of Sims show me cry from start to finish. People let us be more tolerant of each other. We don't know what a person is going through. Just as how when we are going through our difficulties we need tolerance let us tolerate each other. Sim Simmer thank you for your safe space. It has been helping me too. 😭😫 Oh God. Thank you.

Soooo grateful for this safe space🥺❤️

Pep! Let no one handcuff you to your past (kiki sey dat!) For who the Son sets free, is FREE indeed. (God sey dat!)

Keep pressing Pep …somewhere up above it’s going to be cool clear water !!

I was in tears to see the production team sending Pepita Good Vibes, it was really emotional, sweet, uplifting and most of all, the help She needs towards Her Journey of healing and uplifting. Simone has done such an amazing job with this interview, your Motherly instincts came out so much and that’s a true Mother. This was an emotional moment with healing and blessings. God bless and keep you

This episode move me to tears.. Blessings and more blessings .. Never a low anyone to handcuff you to your pass now that's a word ..

Chin up beautiful! Purpose cannot die! Ur better days are ahead!

I totally agree with Pepita's thoughts on backsliding. Yesss. I always say this. People need to be comforted and encouraged. Not bashed and cast aside

God bless and guide you continually Pep! Good show Simone

Awesome show.💯...one of the best program on tv right now. Blessings 🙏🏿❤💯

I love pep ❤️🥹, stay strong mama, this world is not nice.... Continue to hold on to God🤜😭

Pepita yuh brings tear to mi eye 👁 such a young beautiful vibrant young lady. Us jamaican our tongue is like a 2 edges sword man. Pep keep the faith my girl and one love ❤️ 😍 💖 ❣️ 💕

Absolutely love this. So easy to judge kids on their journey. She was so young and had more years ahead of her than behind, yet persons who once thought she was meant for her role was so easy to count her unfit. Pepita, it seem you have grown into a wonderful Woman with experiences that will be worth more than gold for the journey God has for you. Be blessed angel. I .now such a fan of this soul session because it gave her a voice to air her side of the experience. I hope they too have learned a valuable lesson.

This session touch my heart to the core Sim🤗. Pep, God will cause all things to work together for your good. Keep trusting him because he will continously cover you under his wings.

I admired her so much while growing up , still do , love you Pepita . 😍
