    Goals over roles 💕

    Happy Valentine’s Day y’all! I hope today is filled with all your favorite things…in the meantime, here’s a quick episode about why I want a partner over a husband and why our shared goals are more important than the roles we’re supposed to be playing. #Transparency #DoItScared #RealRelationshipGoals

  2. Why are you "friends" with people who don't even LIKE you??

    Why are you "friends" with people who don't even LIKE you??

    Listen, in the year of 2023 I want ya'll to release friendships with people who don't even LIKE you! The ones where you're the only one calling, supporting and doing all the listening. The ones where you're being laughed at rather than laughed with, the ones where the other person's schedule is always full when you need some of their time. Forget that whole "no new friends" mantra and find you some people who want to love on you, who appreciate being in reciprocal relationships with people they like, can grow with and learn from. #FindYourPeople #DropDeadWeight #DoItScared

    What keeps you from clapping when others are winning?

    It can be hard to clap for someone who’s seemingly living the life you wanted and reaping the harvest you prayed for. It’s like, why them and not me!? Know that your season is on the way and clapping for others doesn’t delay your time. Clap anyway.

  4. Sometimes the loudest applause gotta be your own…

    Sometimes the loudest applause gotta be your own…

    First, Merry Christmas and happy start to the New Year!! We made it through 365 whole days and while some of em’ were touch and go, WE MADE IT!! If no one else says it, I am proud of us! Now we have the opportunity to reset our mind, repurpose our energy and choose our direction for the next 365. Episode 3 touches on that a bit, encouraging you to write your goals, reconnect with your heart and be intentional. I also discover (yes, while recording lol) my word for 2023. Lastly, I share the importance of being your own cheerleader and clapping for yourself, first, a lesson I’m still learning…enjoy!

    Depression and anxiety: the battle continues...

    I am still figuring out content for our actual season and it's taking a while because my personal season is on FIRE! I continue to seek God for understanding and while He hasn't unveiled it in a way I can understand, one thing I know for sure is that this journey is meant to be shared. I have stood on the hill of transparency since I started Yea, But Are You Listening??? but this is easily the most transparent and vulnerable I have EVER been. It is not easy to discuss your innermost personal battles with the world but I believe someone's life may be saved from knowing they are not alone. I say it in the episode and I'll say it again here, GET HELP IF YOU NEED IT! You do not have to battle this life alone and there is power in therapy and there are meds to help with balance. GET HELP! If you are thinking about suicide, please reach out to the national suicide hotline at 800-273-8255 via call or text. Often people ask, why didn't they "just" ask for help and I'm here to tell you that for a multitude of reasons, it's never that easy. If you can't relate to this episode, great,  but you never know who can so be kind anyway....
