    Daydreaming

    A while back, my therapist asked me to journal what a dream day would look like for me. I sat down to write it, and what I wrote seemed fine. But when I came back to it, something in me said, that's not it. I tried again, and this time I hit something I wasn't expecting. I genuinely didn't know what a dream day looked like for me anymore, because so much in me had shifted that the things I used to want weren't true for me anymore. That sent me somewhere deeper than the exercise intended. If I couldn't name what I actually wanted, the real question wasn't about the day at all. It was, do I even know who I am right now? This week, I'm inviting you to try the same exercise. Not who you used to be. Not who you think you should be by now. Just an honest attempt at what a good day actually feels like for you, right now, today. Becoming: Whole releases September 15th and is available for pre-order now at becoming2gether.com.

    Something New

    A lighter episode this week, no deep excavation, no heavy questions to sit with. Just an invitation. Somewhere in the middle of a season like this one, it's easy to stay entirely inward, all reflection, no motion. But becoming isn't only internal work, at some point it has to show up in your actual life. This week's challenge: try something new. Nothing big or elaborate, just something you haven't done before, or haven't done in a long time. A new recipe, a new restaurant, a class you've been meaning to take, a nearby town you always drive past but never stop in, an event you'd never normally attend. I talk about why exposing yourself to something unfamiliar interrupts autopilot and asks something of you that routine never does, real presence, the kind that's hard to access from inside a loop you've already memorized. This week, pick something and just do it. Document it, take pictures, write it down, what you thought, how you felt, what you learned about yourself. Then come find me on the Becoming Together Substack and tell me what you tried. I want to hear about it.

    Excavating Capacity

    For a long time, I measured capacity by how much I could carry. The more I could hold without breaking, the more I believed I had. Stack it up, I'll figure it out, that's just what strong women do... right? In this episode, I talk about the difference between a life that's full and a life that's overloaded, and why real capacity isn't about how much you can hold, but how much you can hold well. I share the real-time questions I've started asking myself the moment I catch myself slipping back into survival mode: what's actually driving this, what's the emotion underneath it, is there a real threat, and most importantly, what does God actually say about the situation. This episode ties directly back to Renewing. Releasing survival mode made room for clarity. That clarity made room for capacity. And capacity is what lets you actually receive what God has for you, spiritually mature enough to steward the presence, the revelations, and the responsibility that come with it. A few questions to carry with you this week: What's actually driving me when I feel myself slipping into an old pattern?What's the feeling underneath it?What would it look like to rest instead of strive, just for today?What does God actually say about my situation?Remember, this isn't a race. You're not being graded on speed. You're being invited to trade what you've always believed about yourself for what God has already spoken over your life, and that exchange happens in His timing, not yours.

    Releasing the Survivor

    I've prided myself on two things my whole life: my will to achieve anything I set my mind to, and my ability to survive anything sent my way. This week, I go all the way back to fifteen years old, dancing to Destiny's Child's "Survivor" in my bedroom mirror, to trace how a declaration became an identity, and how that identity quietly cost me more than it ever gave me. In this episode, I get honest about what surviving actually builds in a person, hypervigilance, avoidance, a body that never fully rests, and what happens when the need to grow finally outweighs the need to survive. Releasing an identity you've built your whole life on isn't instant. I talk through what that tension actually feels like, and why deciding something needs to go is not the same as letting it go. This is week two of walking through my upcoming book, Becoming: Whole, section by section. Last week was Uncovering. This week, Releasing. Next week, we move into Renewing. A few things to sit with this week, write them down, pray on them, and take one honest step: What is one area of your life where you're experiencing tension between who you are and who you need to become?What exactly must you release to be made whole?What will it cost you if you don't release it?What is one thing you can do today to take one step toward releasing the thing you were never meant to carry?Becoming: Whole releases September 15th and is available for pre-order now at becoming2gether.com. If you missed last week's episode on Uncovering, go back and listen before this one, each week builds on the last.

    Unpacking Wholeness

    This season, we're unwrapping what it means to be whole, walking through the framework from my debut book, Becoming: Whole, one section at a time. Wholeness is what happens when your mind, body, and spirit stop competing and start working together. It's not a place you arrive at once, it's a way of living you practice day by day. This episode opens the season with the first step in that process: Uncovering. Before anything can be released, renewed, or rebuilt, it has to be named. In this episode, I talk about avoidance as a strategy the mind builds early, often without your permission, and how what goes unaddressed doesn't disappear, it just relocates, into the body, into your relationships, into the decisions you make without realizing why. I close with three questions to guide you into your own journaling time: What is one thing you've been carrying that you've never said out loud, not even to yourself?Where did that thing first take root?What is one honest sentence you can write today that finally puts words to what you've been avoiding?If you have a copy of Becoming: Whole, this episode pairs with The Photograph activity and eight additional journaling prompts inside the book. Grab your copy at becoming2gether.com or on Amazon. Next episode, we sit with Releasing what you've named. Subscribe on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and iHeartRadio so you don't miss it.

Two years ago, God told me to write a book. I wrote three cookbooks first, good ones, but not the one.

In this episode, I talk about: What led me to finally write the book God had been calling me toWhy Becoming: Whole isn't a gratitude journal or a devotional, and what it actually isThe real question behind purpose: not whether you have something to offer the world, but who you need to become to walk fully in itCalled to Become, the new community I built for women stewarding a Spirit-led call to serve, build, create, and leadMy first live event, a free journaling workshop, September 10th at 7 PM CSTPre-order Becoming: Whole today at https://becoming2gether.com/b/WuUPE and get the complete first chapter, Uncovering, delivered immediately, so you can start the work before your copy even arrives.

    The Recipe for Resilience

    Season 2 Finale This is the final episode of Season 2, and I don't have a specific topic for you today. I just wanted to sit with you for a minute and reflect on this season of the show, and this season of my life. The theme this season has been pivots, what it actually means to make a conscious, significant change in direction when your current path no longer fits. I started this season facing my own set of pivots, in my career, my wellbeing, and who I needed to become for what's next. The mindset I came into this season with pales in comparison to where I am now. In this episode, I get personal. I talk about my grandmother Flora, who raised me and became my everything, and what it meant to lose her at fourteen. I talk about becoming a mother at fifteen, and the day my daughter's father was murdered when I was nineteen. I talk about the words my mother Sharon spoke to me in the middle of that grief, words that stung at the time and have carried me through every dark season since. If you've ever needed to hear that you can bend without breaking, this one's for you. Season 3 starts soon, and I've got some announcements coming that I don't want you to miss.

    The Beauty of Process

    For most of my life, I wanted the results without the process that would actually get me there. I wanted to be healed without doing the work of what broke me. I wanted the new season without grieving the old one. In this episode, I get honest about the seasons where I felt stuck in the middle of something and never arriving, and the shift in perspective that changed everything: the process isn't a delay before the good part starts. It is where the becoming actually happens. I talk through Philippians 4:11–13, the verse everyone quotes without the context that makes it mean something, what contentment actually is (and isn't), and three shifts that have helped me stop measuring my life by outcomes alone. If you've ever felt like you're behind, stuck, or still in the middle of something you thought would be finished by now, this one's for you. Full reflection and journal prompts up on Substack this Sunday: becomingtogether.substack.com
