    Full Tank For 26’

    In this finale, I’m sharing how I hit empty this year and why 2026 is all about pouring from a full tank only. We’re talking what we’re not doing next year, how to refill spiritually and emotionally, and how to enter the new year focused, fueled, and done with burnout. If you’re ready to start 2026 with clarity and energy, this one’s your tune-up. 💛🚗

    Unfollow the Old Me

    This episode is all about evolving without apologizing for it. I’m talking about outgrowing old versions of myself, releasing identities that no longer fit, and finally being okay with the woman God is shaping me into. If you’re in a season of shedding, shifting, or stepping into something new, this episode will meet you right where you are. You’re allowed to change and you don’t owe the old you a follow-back. 💛

  3. Protected by the Red Lights

    Protected by the Red Lights

    In this episode, I’m breaking down the truth we don’t always want to hear: sometimes God’s “no” is the biggest blessing of your life. Those closed doors, canceled plans, and things that fell apart? Yeah… they were red lights sent to protect you. I’m sharing how God blocked me, rerouted me, and saved me from situations I didn’t realize were dangerous to my peace. If you’ve ever wondered why life hit pause, this one’s for you. Every red light isn’t punishment …some are protection. 💛🚦

  4. Rerouting : No More Nice Girl

    12/12/2025

    Rerouting : No More Nice Girl

    In this episode, we’re breaking up with “nice.” After hearing a message from Dr. Myles Munroe — “Heaven is not looking for nice girls” — something clicked. Niceness is performance. Kindness is character. And God is calling all of us, not just church girls, to stop shrinking, stop over-functioning, and stop betraying ourselves for the sake of keeping the peace. This short, powerful conversation dives into the difference between being agreeable and being aligned, why people-pleasing blocks purpose, and how God reroutes us from fake harmony into real wholeness. If you’ve ever felt pressured to be the “nice one,” this episode will meet you right where you are. Tune in for truth, clarity, and the freedom to finally show up as your real self. 💛✨

    I’m back, y’all! And after a much-needed pause, some unexpected battles, and a whole lot of growth. In this Red Light Special, I’m catching you up on everything: my 35th birthday rollout (and why I instantly regretted), the meaning behind those AI birthday photos, what I actually did for my birthday, and a full day-by-day recap of Convocation — the highs, the dips, the fashion, and the moments that stretched me. I’m sharing my Best Dressed, Best Experience, and Favorite Day, plus the story behind my outfit inspiration and why Miss Piggy! This is your warm welcome back to Approaching Yellow — honest, funny, reflective, and the perfect kickoff to a new season. Let’s ride. 💛

    Slow Ride Home

    This episode is called The Slow Ride Home: Yielding in Grief. I open up about what that ride home really feels like whether it’s leaving the hospital after they call the time, or driving away from the funeral when it’s all over. I share how grief has shifted me, what those last days with my best friend were like, and yes… even how it got so complicated in anger. It’s light, it’s real, and it’s raw. Not just about death, but about all the different ways we grieve and how slowing down, yielding in grief, can actually change us.

    The Most Powerful Move
