    Ep 8: Be Still and "Qavah"

    We spend a lot of time talking about the highs and lows. But we rarely stop to name that in-between place—where you’ve been planting, but you’re yet to see the fruits of your labor. The Plateau. Transition. The Waiting. In this episode, we explore how to stay hopeful through this period, drawing encouragement from Isaiah 40:31 and Psalm 46. Isaiah 40:31 Commentary: What Does Isaiah 40:31 (Wings Like Eagles Verse) Mean?

    Ep 5: I Don't Trust God (Testimony)

    Have you ever pulled a Jonah... Running away when God tells you to do something? I know I have, an embarrassing number of times! But thanks be to God, my marathon days are over. In this episode, Jonah's story is examined in a fresh, authentic, relatable way. Testimony starts at 33:00: My journey to yielding to God's design, AKA surrender. In this Big Girl Era, we are letting go of the reigns and allowing God lead.

    BONUS: Let me serenade youu!

    This was like my third take because I kept getting emotional and my voice would break, so some of the notes are not perfect. I am not a singer, but I love to use my voice to minister to others... If you are feeling lost, alone, lacking drive and purpose... this is for you. Allow me to serenade you in prayer. You are going to be ok. Song: In Jesus Name by Katy Nichole.

    Ep 3: Chasing Happiness

    In 2023, I'm chasing happiness! In this episode I will share 23 personal lessons from 2022 that I'm carrying into this year! I am not for everyone, and not everyone is for me Being selfish is a form of selfcare Yes, the world is full of bad people but that doesn’t mean you should dilute your kindness The beginning of a journey may start at the bottom of a ditch Be delusional about your goals Pray like it has already come to pass Date yourself  You have control over how people see and treat you Lay your bed every morning Dance it out Friendships come and go If your are providing any sort of service, slap a price on it Sometimes protecting your peace looks a lot like being alone Let your NOs be unwaveringgg Sex is not the answer Don’t ever let a man tell you or show you, more than once, that he doesn’t want you Rely on discipline and consistency, over motivation Let people decide if helping you is an inconvenience Be ruthless about enforcing your boundaries Blood is truly thicker than water Authenticity is your sauce The people closest to you have a big impact on how you view the world and yourself Take charge of your happiness Make sure to SUBSCRIBE for exclusive content!
