    THE AUDACITY OF ME | When We Can Dish It Out but Can’t Take It

    THE AUDACITY OF ME | When We Can Dish It Out but Can’t Take It Have you ever been quick to point out someone else’s attitude… but got defensive when someone pointed out yours? 👀 Let’s talk about the audacity of me. Sometimes we’re so focused on what they did wrong that we never stop to ask, “Wait… could I be doing the same thing?” In this episode of Rooted & Rising, we’re getting real about anger, defensiveness, hypocrisy, accountability, and the uncomfortable moments when we have to look in the mirror. Because accountability isn’t about beating ourselves up.It’s about being honest enough to say: “Maybe I contributed to this too.” We can dish it out.We can speak our minds.We can call people out.But can we take it when the mirror gets turned toward us? And what happens when anger makes us feel justified—even when we’re wrong? This isn’t about judging anybody. It’s about self-awareness, growth, and having the courage to check ourselves. 🎙️ Rooted & Rising with Olayinka 📺 Watch more on Layinka’s Space 💬 QUESTION FOR YOU: What is harder for you—apologizing, accepting criticism, or admitting that you were wrong?

    The Pressure to Have It All Figured Out

    POV: Everyone seems to have life figured out… and you’re over here trying to find the “instructions manual” 😂 I’ve been brooding over this for a few days, so I made a little reflection on Rooted & Rising about the pressure to have it all together. Spoiler alert: nobody really does. We’re all just learning, growing, and trusting God one step at a time. 🌱 Watch the full reflection 🤍 YOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/MXiqA3mcMTM?is=FGdf_309vpJP8X3j SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/6ocOc9yCCNFBvpwUDGU8VG APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rooted-rising/id1846130043?i=1000774148613
