    You've Told Yourself NO Long Enough! | 73 Days to Say YES to YOU

    Send us HEART Mail How many times have you rejected yourself before anyone else ever had the opportunity to? How many dreams have you postponed, opportunities have you talked yourself out of, and experiences have you denied yourself because you didn’t feel ready, qualified, or deserving? Here’s the question: Are you actually living your life, or have you become comfortable simply getting through it? In this heartfelt episode of The Hearts Hello, we’re talking about the silent ways we hold ourselves back through self-doubt, procrastination, imposter syndrome, fear, and the habit of putting everyone and everything before ourselves. And this isn’t just another conversation about personal growth. It’s a call to action. With 73 days remaining in 2026, I’m introducing the 73 Days of YES: Say Yes to You Challenge. Seventy-three days to challenge the automatic NO, reclaim your voice, trust yourself, experience more of your life, and give yourself permission to BE. Because you don’t have to wait until January 1 to change how you’re living. And you don’t have to become somebody else to begin showing up for yourself. Your challenge: Every day, ask yourself, “What can I say YES to today that honors who I am or the life I want to experience?” Then move your feet. One life. One decision. One YES at a time. The challenge begins October 20 and ends December 31, 2026. Join me using #73DaysOfYes and #SayYesToYou. Because you’ve spent enough time learning how to get through life. It’s time to actually live it. #73DaysOfYes, #SayYesToYou, #TheHeartsHello, #StopDoubtingYourself, #SelfTrust, #OvercomingSelfDoubt, #ImposterSyndrome, #OvercomingFear, #StopProcrastinating, #PersonalGrowth, #IntentionalLiving, #SelfWorth, #AuthenticLiving, #FaithAndGrowth, #MindsetShift, #LiveYourLife, #ChooseYourself, #BEING, #ChristianPersonalDevelopment, #WomenEmpowerment

    Some of Us Didn’t Start at Zero: The Generational Debt No One Talks About

    Send us HEART Mail What if you’re not behind at all? What if you’ve been measuring your progress from the wrong starting line? In this episode of The Hearts Hello Show, we’re talking about the kind of debt that doesn’t show up on a credit report—the emotional, financial, relational, spiritual, and generational patterns we inherit before we ever begin building our own lives. Inspired by Jay-Z’s Legacy, this conversation explores what it means to build while healing, to keep planting when you can’t yet see the fruit, and to recognize that getting your family back to zero may be one of the most powerful forms of legacy you can create. We also unpack where faith fits in, what “Jesus paid it all” really means in this conversation, and why inherited consequences are not the same as inherited guilt. Maybe your work isn’t just changing your life. Maybe you’re changing the starting point for everyone who comes after you.  #GenerationalDebt, #GenerationalHealing, #Legacy, #BreakingGenerationalPatterns, #GenerationalWealth, #HealingJourney, #PersonalGrowth, #FaithAndHealing, #FamilyPatterns, #EmotionalHealing, #CycleBreaker, #Purpose, #GrowthMindset, #TheHeartsHelloShow, #Breath

    God, Show Me Everything… But What If He Doesn’t?

    Send us HEART Mail What if the reason you can’t see the whole road isn’t because you’re lost? Psalm 119:105 says, “Your word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path”—but a lamp was never designed to illuminate everything at once. It gave just enough light to see where you were standing and where to place your foot next. In this episode of The Hearts Hello, we go deeper than the familiar “take the next step” message and talk about what it means to live, breathe, and remain present when the future refuses to explain itself. We’ll explore the difference between direction and control, why uncertainty doesn’t automatically mean something is wrong, and how sometimes the light isn’t showing you what is going to happen—it’s showing you who you are while it happens. If you’ve been holding your breath waiting for an answer, a decision, a sign, or certainty about what comes next, this conversation is for you. Maybe you don’t need the entire road illuminated. Maybe the light you have today really is enough.  #TheHeartsHello, #Breathe, #Psalm119105, #TrustGod, #TrustingGod, #FaithOverFear, #ChristianPodcast, #ChristianEncouragement, #FaithJourney, #TrustTheProcess, #Uncertainty, #SpiritualGrowth, #FindingPeace, #LetGoOfControl, #PresentMoment, #GodsDirection, #WalkingByFaith, #Purpose, #PersonalGrowth, #Heartseekers

    The Wizard of Oz Life Lessons: What If You Already Had It?

    Send us HEART Mail What if the courage, wisdom, love, confidence, or direction you’ve been searching for has been showing up in you all along? In this episode of The Hearts Hello, we look at The Wizard of Oz through a completely different lens—from the Scarecrow searching for a brain, the Tin Man searching for a heart, and the Lion searching for courage, to Dorothy trying to find her way home. We’ll talk about self-trust, personal growth, the people we turn into “Wizards,” the voices that help us recognize what we carry, and what the yellow brick road can teach us about finding ourselves along the journey. And since The Wizard of Oz happens to be my mom’s favorite movie, this one feels a little personal. By the end, I want you to picture yourself inside the story and answer one question: Who are you in Oz right now? #WizardOfOz, #WizardOfOzLifeLessons, #LifeLessons, #SelfDiscovery, #PersonalGrowth, #SelfTrust, #FindingYourself, #Courage, #Confidence, #Mindset, #KnowYourWorth, #PersonalDevelopment, #HealingJourney, #FindingYourWay, #TheHeartsHello, #Heartseekers

    How to Know You’re Walking in Your Purpose: Pay Attention to the Signs

    Send us HEART Mail What if the things that keep showing up in your life aren’t random? A song I’ve heard countless times suddenly made me stop when I saw the words “I want my destiny,” and somehow it connected pieces of my life that I hadn’t realized belonged together. In this episode, we’re talking about finding your purpose, recognizing the signs and confirmations around you, and looking back at the seasons of your life that didn’t make sense while you were living them. I’m also sharing the words I’ve been given over the years, how I didn’t always understand them at first, and why they make so much more sense now—including the surprising connection between my first book, released ten years ago, and my new word: Breathe. This isn’t about turning everything into a sign. It’s about slowing down enough to notice the patterns, dreams, conversations, lessons, and little breadcrumbs that may be showing you what’s next. Sometimes you don’t realize where your life has been leading you until you finally turn around and look at the road behind you.  #FindingYourPurpose, #LifePurpose, #GodGivenPurpose, #PurposeDrivenLife, #SignsFromGod, #WalkingInPurpose, #PersonalGrowth, #SelfDiscovery, #FindingYourself, #TrustTheProcess, #SpiritualGrowth, #Breathe, #TheHeartsHello, #Heartseekers

    A To Whom It May Concern: Remember Who You Are

    Send us HEART Mail What in your life still has potency—and what are you holding onto simply because it has been there for a long time? In this episode of The Hearts Hello, we’re taking inventory. Not to throw everything away, but to remember what is still good, honor what helped shape us, recognize what has expired, and make room for what comes next. Sometimes growth is not about becoming a completely different person. Sometimes it is about remembering the parts of yourself you buried under responsibility, disappointment, survival, expectations, and life. This week, I’m inviting you to write your own “To Whom It May Concern” letter—not just about what you are releasing, but what you are reclaiming, what you are grateful for, and what you refuse to forget about who you are. #TheHeartsHello #ToWhomItMayConcern #RememberWhoYouAre #Heartseekers #SelfDiscovery #PersonalGrowth #SelfReflection #RediscoverYourself #FindingYourself #LifeTransitions #LettingGo #ReclaimYourself #KnowYourWorth #EmotionalGrowth #HealingJourney #MindsetShift #BecomingYou #PersonalDevelopment #GrowthJourney #ChooseYou

    Feeling Worn Down? It Might Be Time to Sharpen Your Tools | Heart Check

    Send us HEART Mail What if you’re not missing what you need? What if the tools you already have simply need some attention? In this Heart Check, I’m sharing a dream that made me pause and think about how often we keep searching for something new when what we already have may just need to be sharpened. Sometimes our hearts get worn down from pouring, helping, giving, creating, and showing up for everyone else. But sharpening doesn’t mean becoming perfect. In my dream, the pencil didn’t need to be perfectly sharp. It just needed to be sharp enough to do the work in front of me. Maybe that’s where you are too. Before we pick the keys back up and continue talking about the doors in our lives, let’s pause and ask: How is your heart? What condition are your tools in? And what might need a little sharpening? You don’t have to have everything figured out. You don’t have to be at your sharpest. Sometimes, you just need to sharpen enough to keep going. #HeartCheck, #TheHeartsHello, #SelfReflection, #PersonalGrowth, #SelfCare, #HealingJourney, #EmotionalWellness, #LifeTransitions, #Purpose, #Authenticity, #WomenOver40, #FaithAndLife, #SharpenYourTools, #KeepGoing, #KeysAndDoors

    They Should Know Is Not a Process: The Key of Clarity

    Send us HEART Mail We say it all the time: “They should know.” They should know what hurts us. They should know what we need. They should know when they’ve crossed a boundary. They should know how to love us. But…do they? Audit season at work reminded me of something: just because something is obvious to the person who knows the process doesn’t mean it’s obvious to the person trying to understand it. And maybe we do the same thing with ourselves. In this episode of The Hearts Hello, we’re uncovering another key: clarity. We’re talking about the assumptions we make in relationships, friendships, families, and workplaces—and why being known requires our participation. But before you can explain yourself to someone else, there’s an even deeper question: How well do you understand you? This week’s homework is a personal audit: How do I explain me? Because clarity tells you what you need. Communication allows you to express it. Discernment shows you what someone does with that information. And boundaries help you decide what happens next. Heartseekers, we’re building a key ring. #TheHeartsHello #HumanCenteredCompliance #TheKeysSeries #KeyOfClarity #ClarityIsKey #KnowYourself #SelfAwareness #Communication #HealthyBoundaries #Relationships #PersonalGrowth #Heartseekers #EmotionalIntelligence #SelfDiscovery #HumanCompliance
