Trusting Her Journey is a podcast dedicated to BIack women and women of color, who are silently struggling, but learning to trust themselves again. This is for The Helpers, The Healers, The Fixers, and The Prayer Warriors everyone turns to. When you’re always the “strong one”, it’s hard to admit you’re tired, that you need to rest, and that sometimes you don't know how to let go and ask for help. Co-hosted by two Licensed Therapists (Christalyn and Felicia) this show gets beneath the surface of strong-woman survival mode, and into the real work of healing. We have honest conversations about faith, fear, burnout, grief, shame, and overthinking. We talk about rebuilding self-trust. Letting go of over-giving. Learning to rest. And setting boundaries that actually stick. In this podcast we're going deep but we're doing it together. This is your safe space. Here is where you can begin to trust your journey.  ✨️ New episodes every week.

    You Already Know. So Why Aren’t You Doing It?

    Why is it so hard to do better… even when you know better? There comes a point where you know something needs to change. You’re more aware. You see the pattern. You know what’s not working. But knowing better doesn’t automatically make doing better easier. In this season finale of Trusting Her Journey, we talk about why it feels so hard to choose something different, even when you know better. We break down what’s actually happening in your brain and body when change feels unfamiliar, why predictability can feel safer than growth, and how self-trust is built through practice, not pressure. We also talk about:  • why awareness alone is not enough • what neuroplasticity looks like in real life • how your body responds when you try something new • how to stop ignoring what you feel • what it looks like to create a new pattern Because the truth is, what you’ve practiced can be unlearned. And every time you pause, notice what you feel, and choose differently, you’re building self-trust in real time.

    The Truth Behind Why You Stopped Trusting Yourself

    There’s a version of you that knows exactly what you need. But somewhere along the way… you stopped listening. In this episode of Trusting Her Journey, we shift the conversation inward and explore what it really looks like to lose trust in yourself. Not in an obvious way. But in the small, everyday moments where you override your needs, ignore what you feel, and choose what feels “right” over what actually feels true. We talk about:  • What self-abandonment actually looks like in real life  • How being “the strong one” can disconnect you from yourself  • The difference between control and self-trust  • Signs you may be overriding your intuition  • What it looks like to slowly come back to yourself Because the truth is… you can’t build healthy relationships while abandoning yourself. And rebuilding self-trust doesn’t start with having all the answers. It starts with learning how to listen again.

    What Healthy Friendships Actually Feel Like (When You’re Growing)

    Adult friendships change as life changes. But healthy friendships don’t fall apart every time things shift. Sometimes they actually grow stronger. In this episode, we talk about what healthy adult friendships actually look like when people grow, change, and learn how to support each other through different seasons of life. Over the last few episodes, we’ve been talking about friendship. In Episode 5, we talked about why adult friendships start to change as our lives change. In Episode 6, we talked about the conversations most friends avoid having. In this episode, we continue that conversation by talking about what healthy adult friendships can look like. Because while some friendships shift or fade, there are also friendships that grow with you. The kind of friendships where: • your friends respect your changing capacity • you can say no without the relationship falling apart • honesty strengthens the relationship instead of damaging it • friends challenge you when needed and support you when life is heavy We also talk about the role communication plays in protecting friendships, how social media can distort our expectations of friendship, and why safety and emotional maturity matter in every relationship. Healthy friendships are not perfect. But they are honest, supportive, and willing to grow. Throughout the episode, we invite you to think about a few things: • Are you the kind of friend who makes it safe for others to grow? • When a friend’s capacity shifts, do you adjust or take it personally? • Are you creating the same safety in your friendships that you hope to receive? Because friendship is not just about shared history. Sometimes the strongest friendships are the ones that survive honest conversations and continue to grow over time. If you're just joining us, we encourage you to go back and listen to Episode 5 and Episode 6 to hear the full conversation about how adult friendships change and why difficult conversations matter.

    When You Change And Your Friends Don’t: How to Have This Honest but Conversations

    Friendships change as we grow, but most of us never actually talk about it. In this episode of Trusting Her Journey, we continue the conversation about evolving friendships and how to address the shifts that happen over time. What happens when your capacity changes, your priorities shift, or life simply looks different than it used to? Instead of having honest conversations, many of us avoid them. We tell ourselves it’s not that serious, we don’t want to be dramatic, or we don’t want to risk hurting the relationship. But silence often creates assumptions, distance, and resentment. In this episode, we talk about: • Why so many women avoid difficult conversations in friendships • How silence and assumptions quietly create distance • Understanding grief when friendships change • Questions to ask yourself before addressing a friendship shift • Conversation starters to help you speak honestly with a friend Because not every friendship needs a hard conversation. But the ones that matter deserve honesty. Rest Stop Reflection Questions: What conversation am I avoiding because it feels uncomfortable? Is this relationship one I value enough to be honest in?

    The Truth About Why Personal Growth Feels So Uncomfortable

But gently letting go of beliefs, habits, and expectations that no longer fit the season you’re in. This conversation is for the woman who’s realizing that what once worked for her doesn’t feel aligned anymore, and that maybe that doesn’t mean something is wrong. It might mean something is changing. We talk about: What it looks like to unlearn behaviors rooted in people-pleasing, obligation, and old versions of yourself.Why clarity around your values matters more than keeping the peace.Letting go of FOMO, over-functioning, and forcing yourself into spaces that no longer fit.How unlearning can feel uncomfortable before it feels freeing Renewing your mind, not by becoming someone new, but by honoring who you are now.We also offer a gentle rest stop for the week ahead: A reflection question to help you notice what you no longer want to carryAn invitation to choose the simpler option when you can, without guilt or over-explainingThis isn’t a how-to episode. It’s a real conversation between two women navigating growth, alignment, faith, and changing capacity in real time.

    Why You Feel So Overwhelmed Right Now

    Have you been feeling like everything is “too much” lately?  In this episode, we talk about what it really means to be at capacity and why feeling overwhelmed doesn’t mean you’re overreacting, broken, or failing.  It might mean you’ve been carrying more than you were ever meant to carry.  We reflect on how many of us grew up watching women who rarely rested, how that shaped our relationship with slowing down, and why doing nothing can feel uncomfortable… even when our bodies are begging for it.  This conversation is an invitation to:  • Notice when you’re doing too much • Release what God never asked you to carry • Stop shaming yourself for needing rest If you’ve been feeling on edge, exhausted, irritated, or emotionally maxed out, this episode is for you.  Reflection Question: What’s the biggest thing draining me right now?  You’re not weak. You’re not behind. You’re not overreacting.  You might just be at capacity.  And being at capacity is not your identity it’s a signal.  Lower the load. Give yourself permission to breathe.  Tell us what spoke to you (send us a text) New episodes drop every week. 🔗 Resources & Announcements We’re building a supportive online community.
