    I could’ve popped off… but I didn’t.

    Send us Fan Mail I could’ve popped off… but I didn’t. And baby, that’s growth!  In this episode of It Gets Real with Carenna, I share how an encounter with a loud bus driver—with my daughters watching—helped me recognize how God is changing my response. The old me would’ve been ready to go off, but this time, I chose patience. We’re talking about protecting your peace, setting boundaries without losing your cool, and teaching your children through your actions. If you’re learning to pause before you react, this conversation is for you. Sometimes the evidence of growth is how you handle what used to set you off. Let's get SOCIAL!

    Don’t Despise the Hidden Season!

    Send us Fan Mail Don’t Despise the Hidden Season | God, Help Me Value Preparation More Than Recognition Have you ever felt like you’re doing everything you’re supposed to do, but you’re still not where you want to be? You’re praying, working, growing, and showing up, yet it seems like everyone else is getting their moment. In today’s episode of It Gets Real with Carenna, we’re having a real, raw, and relatable conversation about learning to appreciate the season you’re in instead of constantly rushing toward the next one. Inspired by 1 Samuel 16:1–13, we’re exploring David’s journey from tending sheep to being anointed as king and what his story teaches us about preparation, comparison, patience, and purpose. Sometimes we’re so focused on being recognized that we overlook the growth happening behind the scenes. Remember, just because you’re not being seen doesn’t mean you’re not growing! My prayer today is simple: God, help me value preparation more than recognition.  Tune in, get encouraged, and ask yourself: What is my hidden season teaching me? #ItGetsRealWithCarenna #DontDespiseTheHiddenSeason #FaithAndPurpose #TrustTheProcess #SpiritualGrowth Let's get SOCIAL!

    God Is About To Blow Your Mind!

    Send us Fan Mail  GOD IS ABOUT TO BLOW YOUR MIND! When Your Purpose Starts Making Room for You What if God is preparing you for opportunities beyond anything you’ve ever imagined? What if everything you’ve experienced has been preparing you for the very season you’re stepping into? In this episode of It Gets Real with Carenna, we’re talking about walking boldly in your purpose, trusting God’s timing, overcoming fear, and learning to celebrate every step of your journey. Sometimes, we’re so focused on where we’re trying to go that we forget to appreciate how far God has already brought us. I’m personally entering a season where I’m embracing my gifts, stepping outside my comfort zone, and experiencing the JOY of walking in purpose. And I want YOU to experience that same freedom! Your purpose requires participation! Stop waiting for everything to be perfect. Start showing up, developing your gifts, and trusting God with the outcome. Remember, Ephesians 3:20 reminds us that God is able to do exceedingly and abundantly above all we could ever ask or think. Your journey isn’t over. Your gifts have value. And God is able to BLOW YOUR MIND! Tune in, get encouraged, and SHARE this episode with someone who needs a reminder to keep going! Real. Raw.

    When They Can't Control You, They Call You Difficult

    Send us Fan Mail Have you ever been labeled “difficult,” “stubborn,” or “too much” simply because you refused to follow the crowd? In this episode of It Gets Real with Carenna, I’m opening up about what it feels like to grow up misunderstood, constantly feeling like the problem, and eventually realizing that having a mind of your own doesn’t make you disrespectful. We’re talking about the difference between being teachable and controllable, how boundaries can make people uncomfortable, and why you don’t have to spend your life defending yourself to people who are committed to misunderstanding you. This episode is also a reminder to stay humble enough to receive correction, wise enough to recognize manipulation, and strong enough to stand firm when you know something isn’t right. If you’ve ever felt like the outsider, the “problem,” or the person who was always blamed because you wouldn’t just go along with everything — this conversation is for you. You don’t have to become easier to control just to become easier to love.  It Gets Real with Carenna Real. Raw. Relatable. Let's get SOCIAL!

    Your Job Is Not Your Limit

    Send us Fan Mail Have you ever felt like there was more inside of you—even while you were grateful for the job you already had? In this episode of It Gets Real with Carenna, we’re talking about why your job is not the limit of your purpose. You don’t have to quit your job, abandon your responsibilities, or turn your life upside down to take your calling seriously. Sometimes, faith looks like building slowly, making room for your gifts, and taking one realistic step at a time. Carenna shares encouragement for anyone balancing work, family, financial responsibilities, and a dream that refuses to leave their heart. You’ll be reminded that your job title does not define everything you are, quiet progress still counts, and your purpose can show up right where you are. You can clock in and still have a calling. Your job may be part of your story—but it does not have to be the limit of it. If this episode encourages you, share it with someone who knows there is more inside of them.

    You Don’t Need to Know the Whole Plan!

    Send us Fan Mail What do you do when life changes unexpectedly and you have no idea what’s coming next? In this episode of It Gets Real with Carenna, we’re talking about the discomfort of uncertainty and the importance of trusting God when you can’t see the full picture. You may not know how the situation will work out. You may not know where the next opportunity will come from. You may not understand why one door closed or why you’re being asked to wait. But you don’t need to know the whole plan. You just need to trust the One who does. Carenna reminds us that uncertainty doesn’t mean God has forgotten you. Sometimes the closed door is protection. Sometimes the unexpected change is redirection. And sometimes God has already prepared the provision we’re praying for, we just haven’t seen it yet. If you’re currently in an uncertain season, this episode is your reminder to stop panicking over what you can’t see and start trusting the God who can. You don’t need the whole blueprint. You just need the faith to take the next step. Let's get SOCIAL! Instagram: Carenna_ Tiktok: itgetsrealwithcarenna YouTube : @itgetsrealwithcarenna

    I’m Not Who I Used to Be… and That’s the Point.

    Send us Fan Mail What happens when you look in the mirror and realize you’re not the same person you used to be? In this episode of It Gets Real with Carenna, we’re getting REAL about growth, healing, boundaries, and becoming the person you were always meant to be. Sometimes growth means outgrowing relationships, changing your priorities, protecting your peace, and realizing that the things you once prayed for aren’t even what you want anymore. And while the old version of you may have gotten you through some difficult seasons, that person doesn’t have to come with you into your next one. We’re talking about the uncomfortable part of becoming—the loneliness, the uncertainty, the lessons, and the freedom that comes when you stop trying to return to who you were and start embracing who you’re becoming. Because maybe you didn’t lose yourself… Maybe you finally found yourself. And if you’ve been feeling different lately, this episode is your reminder: Don’t apologize for evolving. Don’t shrink to make people comfortable. Don’t go backward just because forward feels unfamiliar. You are growing. You are healing. You are becoming. And you’re not who you used to be… and THAT’S the point.   It Gets Real with Carenna Healing. Growth. Purpose. Real conversations. Listen. Reflect. Heal. Flourish. Let's get SOCIAL!
