    messages w mak: importance of reflection & community

    hiya long time no pod, but in this episode, I cover the importance of reflection and community. I begin the episode with sitting down with a dope, new yerba maté brand based in Jacksonville (FOC'N'A) while reflecting on the past few months and some highlights from each. Upon reflecting, I have come to realize the importance of community. I then discuss how vital community is and having those you can lean on and vice versa. 1 John 4:7 is a verse that really emphasizes community and sharing not only your love, but God's love with others. I hope this message and episode serves as a good reminder to see how far you've come in the past couple of months and appreciate the experiences you have gained and amazing people you have met along with way. With that, I hope you guys have a dope day and I'm sending ya a big energy hug! xoxo

    messages w mak: the concept of being more present

    ayo happy April, in this episode I discuss the concept of being more present. I begin the episode with a backstory on how I used to always be future-oriented and plan out everything for my life. What I’ve come to realize, however, is that life is ever changing and never really goes according to plan. Jeremiah 29:11 is a verse that I prayed on for awhile while asking God for my wings back and I hope it can help ya out too. With that, I hope you guys enjoy this episode and I’m sending ya a big energy hug! xoxo
