    Positive Pregnancy Test at 39, Chemical Pregnancy, & UNHINGED Gratitude for God

    Hey bestie! Going rogue and putting this out on a Monday, which I think only makes sense to be the new cadence for new podcast releases (which you'll also find on YouTube now, HAIR FLIP). I realize this episode may be tough to handle, so proceed with caution, but with the one-year anniversary approaching of my very first positive pregnancy test which resulted in a chemical pregnancy, and now having a newfound faith and trust in God, I have a TOTALLY different perspective on the devastating experience. Tune in for a new to learn the peace I've gotten with His comfort, plus a completely new way to approach your daily gratitude and your intentional time with God...I'm calling it, UNHINGED gratitude! Grab your AirPods and let's go on a Hot Girl Prayer walk together this week! ILYSM! ---- Hang with me on Instagram! 📺 Rather watch? https://www.yolandarussellcreates.com

    The God Era: Is God Calling You to Fast to Be Closer to Him?

    Hey bestie! Welcome back! Today, I'm opening up about how over the last 6 months I started to evolve and start being pulled away from things that I'd once been all about. I'm convinced that this was a way of being guided into the hardship that I was going to face in 2025 between Ralphie getting sick and losing my job.   Tune in and do a self audit of your own life–is God trying to get your attention?

    The God Era: 7 Misconceptions That Held Me Back from Faith

    Hey Bestie! The first mini-series of the podcast EVER! Let's talk about faith and finding God as an adult! There's no secret that my journey with faith is new; I've always been a girlie about the Universe and I had a laundry list of why I wasn't a believer in God. But, things can change anytime, ya know? In this episode, I’m breaking down the biggest misconceptions that held me back, including: ✨ Does God need you to dress a certain way to show up? ✨ Will God judge you? ✨ Stereotypes when it comes to God and church goers ✨ The biggest question: If God is real, why do bad things happen? ✨ The “Universe” vs. God—are they the same? ✨ Can you believe in science and God?  ✨ Religious trauma or the lack of I’m sharing my real, raw thoughts in this one.

    The Unemployed Era: Losing My Job and Finding Faith in the New Year

    Welcome to the first episode of Own Your Era! I’m so excited (and a little nervous) to share this raw and real episode with you. To be honest, this isn’t how I planned to kick off the season, but life has a funny way of steering us exactly where we need to go—even when it’s uncomfortable. In this episode, I’m opening up about losing my job and how I’m navigating this transition with faith, trust, and a whole lot of deep breaths. I’ve felt all the feels. If you’ve ever been blindsided by life, felt stuck, or wondered how to move forward when everything feels uncertain, this one’s for you. What I’m Sharing in This Episode: The raw truth about losing my job and why it actually feels like a blessing in disguise. How my faith and relationship with God have been my anchor during this time. A reminder that you don’t “own” a job or title—what you truly own is your creativity, your skills, and your ability to pivot. Why vulnerability is a superpower, and how sharing your mess can be the most empowering thing you do. A Little Reminder: “Every adversity, every failure, every heartbreak carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit.” - Napoleon Hill, Author of Think and Grow Rich Let’s Connect: Slide into my DMs over on Instagram @_yolandarussell, and let me know what you’re going through—or how you’re choosing to own your era. Thank you for being here. ILYSM. Let’s own this era together. 💕 ---- Hang with me on Instagram! https://www.theyolandarussell.com
