    Episode 24 - Eldest Daughters & Sibling Rivalry: What Moms Need to Know

    Today’s episode is for the mothers raising firstborn daughters and quietly wondering, “Am I doing this right?” We’re talking about the hidden weight many eldest girls carry, the kind that looks like “maturity” but is actually parentification, emotional responsibility, and a childhood that gets stolen in small ways. I’ll also unpack sibling rivalry, why it’s not always “bad behavior,” and what it looks like to rebalance your home so everyone can breathe again, including you. Key Takeaways This is your space to finally breathe. The cycle ends with you. Your daughters are not your co-parents. It’s not “she’s just mature” — it can be a stolen childhood. Let her just be a child. Apology is powerful. You are allowed to stay back. You are not a bad mother for being tired. When the roles are balanced, you all can breathe again. Tell her: “I see you now.” Chapters / Timestamps 00:00 — Welcome to the Rise and Reveal Podcast 01:14 — Understanding the firstborn daughter dynamics 03:38 — The burden of responsibility on eldest daughters 11:05 — Practical strategies for raising eldest daughters 15:51 — Empowering firstborn daughters and mothers 17:59 — Outro Join The Love Rewired Collective (Limited Time Offer) If you’re ready to break patterns, heal what still hurts, and rebuild emotional safety in your relationships and home, you’re welcome here. ✅ Limited offer: $9/month 👉 Join here: Join our WhatsApp community: The Cycle Breaker Tribe If you want ongoing support, sisterhood, and real conversations as you do the work, come join us. 💬 Join here

    Episode 23 -Red Flags No Woman Should Ignore (Because They Bite Later)

    In this episode of Rise & Rebuild, I unpack the red flags women often overlook in dating and relationships, including inconsistency, lack of emotional responsibility, soft violence, and spiritual camouflage. This is your reminder to stop auditioning for love, trust what you notice early, and choose relationships that feel safe, steady, and whole. Key Takeaways: Red flags rarely announce themselves, they camouflage and worsen with time. Ignoring early warning signs usually means paying for them later (emotionally, mentally, spiritually). Inconsistency is not a personality trait, it’s a signal. Emotional responsibility isn’t optional; it’s the foundation of safe love. “Soft violence” can be quiet but harmful, and it slowly erodes your confidence. A lack of integrity disrupts your peace, even when the person sounds convincing. Spiritual language can be used as camouflage, discernment matters. Healthy love never requires you to dim your light to keep someone. Learn the difference between someone who loves you and someone who needs you to heal them.

    Episode 22 - Why First-Born Daughters Have the Highest Rate of Failed Relationships.

    If you’re a firstborn daughter, you’re in the right place, my friend. In this episode of Rise and Rebuild, I’m talking about what people call “eldest daughter syndrome”, how carrying responsibility too early can quietly shape the way you love, choose partners, and show up in relationships. I break down the emotional burden many firstborn daughters carry, how the father wound can show up, why submission only flows where there’s safety, and how to start rewiring love patterns so you can choose relationships that support you instead of drain you. Key Takeaways You learned to carry too much, too early. The “strong one” role follows you into love. Eldest daughter syndrome is a survival pattern. The father wound shows up in relationships. You don’t relax where you don’t feel safe. Submission flows where there’s safety. Parenting your partner kills attraction. Potential is not a plan. Pause. Watch the pattern. Peace can feel unfamiliar. Grief is part of healing. Clarity breaks the cycle. Chapters 00:00 — Understanding the Firstborn Daughter Syndrome 03:11 — The Emotional Burden of Firstborn Daughters 06:02 — The Impact of Parental Relationships 08:50 — Navigating Submission and Independence 12:08 — Rewiring Love Patterns 15:09 — Practical Steps for Healing and Growth Join Love Rewired Bootcamp (Starts Feb 13th) If this episode hit home and you’re ready to do the deeper work, Love Rewired Bootcamp is for you.

    Episode 21 - Boundaries You need this Year

    So many of us grew up learning how to be helpful, available, loyal, “the strong one”… but almost none of us were taught how to have boundaries. We were taught to: say yes quickly explain ourselves constantly carry what wasn’t ours call it “love,” “service,” or “being a good daughter/woman/mother” But here’s the truth: Boundaries are not natural. They’re taught. And if no one modeled them for you, of course you’re struggling with them now. In this episode of The Rise & Rebuild Podcast, we’re having a real, gentle, but very honest conversation about the boundaries you need this year so you don’t live in quiet burnout… again. And we walk through 7 boundaries to protect your peace this year: 1. Stop saying yes automatically 2. Stop over-explaining your decisions 3. Stop being the emotional dumping ground 4. Stop rescuing people financially (including “Black tax”) 5. Stop staying in draining conversations 6. Stop ignoring your body’s signals 7. Stop carrying what God never assigned to you Boundaries can be learned. And this year, we’re re-teaching your nervous system what safety, peace, and self-respect feel like. Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Boundaries 02:46 The Importance of Setting Boundaries 06:15 Misunderstandings About Boundaries 10:45 Practical Steps to Set Boundaries 24:08 Emotional and Financial Boundaries 28:54 Releasing Unnecessary Burdens 33:30 Podcast Outro Video 2.mp4 🌿 Join Our Community If this episode spoke to you, I would love to walk this journey with you.

    Episode 20 — Navigating Single Motherhood This Year While Honoring Your Needs

    In this episode, I speak directly to single mothers, not just about what you do, but about who you are beneath the responsibility. I share from my own experience of single motherhood, and from what I’ve witnessed in so many women who are carrying more than they were ever meant to carry alone. We talk about why exhaustion doesn’t mean failure, why honoring your needs is not selfish, and why survival was never meant to be permanent. This is not a conversation about fixing you, because you are not broken. It is about helping you stay whole while you navigate responsibility. ✨ Key Takeaways Not everything has to be perfect to be good. You are allowed to reset too. Single motherhood will stretch you in ways most people will never understand. Cut yourself some slack, you are doing your best. Support is not optional. You don’t have to do this alone. ⏰ Chapters 00:00 — Welcome to the Rise & Rebuild Podcast 04:14 — Navigating Single Motherhood & Identity 11:31 — Honoring Your Needs Without Guilt 18:20 — Protecting Your Emotional Energy 25:17 — Planning for Your Children’s Future 33:20 — Final Encouragement for Single Mothers 🌿 Join Our Community If this episode spoke to you, I would love to walk this journey with you.

    Episode 19 - Real Talk: Are You Faking Your Life?

    In this episode, I talk about something many women experience quietly but rarely say out loud: living misaligned. On the outside, life may look fine. You’re showing up, doing what’s expected, staying strong, staying faithful. But on the inside, something feels off. Tired. Heavy. Disconnected. I share why gratitude still matters, even in difficult seasons, and why community is so important when it comes to healing and growth. We explore how “faking it” often begins as a survival tool in relationships, responsibilities, and even in our walk with God and how that slowly leads to emotional exhaustion and resentment. This conversation is an invitation to honesty. Not perfection. Not performance. But truth. I walk you through how to notice where you feel pressure to perform, how to practice truth in small moments, and how authenticity becomes a doorway to healing, peace, and deeper faith. If you’ve been feeling misaligned, tired of pretending, or disconnected from yourself and God, this episode is for you. Key Takeaways Gratitude matters, even in difficult seasons Healing grows best in safe community Many women live misaligned inner and outer lives Faking strength often starts as a survival skill Honesty with yourself is the first step to healing Misalignment leads to emotional exhaustion and resentment Notice where you feel pressure to perform Practice truth in small, everyday moments Being fake with God blocks spiritual growth Authentic living requires courage and self-reflection Chapters 00:00 – Gratitude and new beginnings 04:38 – The importance of community 05:04 – Are you faking your life? 10:22 – Signs of misalignment 16:14 – Faking in relationships 19:54 – Faking with God 22:10 – Steps to authentic living 28:38 – Podcast outro Join me beyond the podcast 🤍 🌿 The Cycle Breaker Reset Program (Jan 14–16, 2026) A 3-day live reset experience with me for women who are ready to break unhealthy cycles, heal deeply, and reset how they show up in 2026 and beyond. 👉 Join here: https://www.breakthecyclesnow.com/cycle-breaker-reset 💬 Join our WhatsApp Community This is our main community space for women walking the journey of healing, faith, and personal growth.

    Episode 18 - Let’s Begin Again: Your 2026 won’t change unless you do

    As we step into 2026, this episode is an invitation to pause, not to rush or pressure yourself to “be new,” but to begin again with intention. We talk about honoring 2025 without judgment, doing a gentle life audit, and creating a God-guided vision rooted in healing and faith. I share why your 2026 won’t change unless you do, and why courage, responsibility, and community matter in the rebuilding process. You don’t have to do this alone. Beginning again is always possible. Key Takeaways: We made it through, even if it was messy You don’t need a new year to become new Your 2026 won’t change unless you do Honor 2025 without judgment Do an audit of your life Write a God-guided vision You can come back from anything Healing is now your responsibility We break, heal, and rebuild better together Chapters: 00:00 – Welcome to 2026 11:11 – Resetting for the New Year 16:56 – Intentional Changes 29:57 – Courage and Community 34:51 – Podcast Outro Join Me Beyond the Podcast 🌿 The Cycle Breaker Reset (Jan 14–16, 2026) A 3-day live reset experience with me for women ready to pause, identify patterns, and intentionally reset how they show up in 2026. 👉 Join The Cycle Breaker Reset: https://www.breakthecyclesnow.com/cycle-breaker-reset. 🤍 The Cycle Breaker Tribe Community (Skool) A safe space for women on a healing and personal growth journey.

    Episode 17 - Grace For The Holidays: Boundaries, Triggers & Peace

    In this episode, I talk about the importance of setting healthy boundaries, especially during the holiday season. This time of year can stir emotional stress, family pressure, and old patterns we thought we’d outgrown.I share why guilt often shows up when you start choosing yourself, and why that doesn’t mean you’re wrong. Boundaries are not about controlling others; they’re about self-stewardship, self-respect, and emotional health. You are allowed to say no, limit access, and choose how long you stay in draining conversations or situations. As we close the year, I’m inviting you to go deeper.✨ The Cycle Breaker Reset is officially open (January 14th–16th, 2026), for women ready to break unhealthy cycles, reset emotionally, and rebuild with intention. 👉 Join the Reset: https://www.breakthecyclesnow.com/cycle-breaker-reset.
