    Adult Bullies

    Dangerously Distracted

    In this episode, we unravel the subtle distractions that slowly steal our lives. Not just phones, social media, or toxic relationships, but the endless loops that keep us disconnected from purpose, peace, identity, and the present moment. This conversation gets honest about temptation, self-control, vanity, executive functioning, emotional loops, and the importance of creating boundaries and “opposition” in our lives to protect our focus. We also discuss rest, identity in Christ, and how many of us are sacrificing precious time for things that were never worth it in the first place. If you’ve been feeling mentally exhausted, emotionally scattered, spiritually disconnected, or stuck in cycles that keep pulling your attention away from what truly matters, this episode is for you.

    The Truth About Health in Your 30s

    In this episode, Steph and Tee unravel the real journey of health and wellness in your 30s. The changing body. The frustration. The comparison. The discipline. The grief of realizing your old habits are finally catching up to you. We talk about learning to work with your body instead of punishing it, why crash diets and quick fixes don’t last, and how emotional wounds, stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma often show up physically. This conversation is not about being skinny. It’s about being healthy enough to sustain the life and purpose God has called you to. We discuss: • Why your body changes in your 30s • The emotional side of weight gain and body image • Cortisol, stress, inflammation, and nervous system regulation • Why discipline matters more than drastic measures • The spiritual parallels between fitness and resilience How movement impacts anxiety and depression • The importance of honoring your body instead of shaming it • Why healing your mind and soul affects your physical health If you’ve been struggling to take care of yourself, feeling disconnected from your body, or overwhelmed trying to “fix” yourself, this episode is for you. Your body is not the enemy. But it may be asking you to pay attention.

    Jealous Friends

    Let’s be honest. One of the hardest things to admit is that someone you love may secretly be jealous of you… or that you’ve wrestled with jealousy yourself.In this episode, we’re unraveling friendship, comparison, insecurity, discernment, and the subtle ways jealousy can show up in relationships. From backhanded compliments to weird energy when you’re winning, we unpack the signs we often ignore and why unmanaged insecurity can quietly damage even long-term friendships.We also talk about the difference between admiration and envy, how comparison steals your peace, and why healing your own heart matters more than competing with the next woman. This conversation gets personal, funny, emotional, and deeply rooted in faith as we discuss self-awareness, prayer, discernment, and the importance of keeping your heart pure in every season. If you’ve ever felt tension in a friendship, struggled with comparison, or realized someone’s discomfort with you had nothing to do with you at all… this episode is for you.

    Dry Seasons

    Sometimes following God feels passionate, intimate, and full of clarity. Other times it feels dry, quiet, uncomfortable, and honestly… hard. In this episode, Tierra and Stephanie have a raw conversation about wilderness seasons, spiritual dryness, emotional numbness, and what happens when God begins refining the parts of us we’d rather avoid. They discuss divorce, disappointment, pruning, spiritual apathy, idols, discomfort, and why some seasons with God feel barren on purpose. This conversation is for the person who still loves God but doesn’t “feel” Him the same right now. The person wondering if they did something wrong. The person trying to survive a season that feels uncertain, lonely, or spiritually exhausting. The wilderness is not punishment. It’s preparation. And if you let Him, God will use this season to transform you instead of destroy you.

    Certified Lover Girl

    What does it really mean to be a Certified Lover Girl? Is it romance? Softness? Being obsessed with love? Or have we romanticized unhealthy relationship patterns and called them normal? In this episode, we're unraveling the difference between being a woman who loves deeply and becoming a woman who loses herself in the pursuit of love. We talk about boundaries, emotional availability, dating with intention, why so many people keep repeating the same relationship cycles, and the hard truth about doing second things first. If you've ever found yourself chasing potential, ignoring red flags, leading with emotions, or wondering why your relationships keep ending the same way, this conversation is for you. Topics we cover: • Boundaries vs. requests • Why chemistry isn't enough • Dating from fantasy versus dating from data • The danger of making relationships your identity • Emotional highs versus healthy love • Commitment, intimacy, and God's design for relationships • How to protect your heart without hardening it • What it means to love wisely This one might step on a few toes, but sometimes healing starts there.

    Accountability: Who Gon' Check Me, Boo?

    Who gon’ check you, boo? In this episode of The Unraveled Pod, Tierra and Stephanie get honest about accountability, correction, character, boundaries, and the moments when “helping” people turns into trying to control them. This conversation starts with a simple question: who in your life is allowed to hold you accountable? But it quickly unravels into something deeper. How do you receive correction without becoming defensive? Who actually has access to speak into your life? Can someone with bad motives still tell you the truth? And what happens when the person you keep trying to help is not ready to change? Tierra and Stephanie unpack why accountability requires a standard, how idols reveal themselves through secrecy and defensiveness, why some people reject correction, and how compassion fatigue can expose where you have taken on responsibility God never gave you. This episode is for anyone who wants to grow, but also for the fixer, the over-helper, the strong friend, the one who keeps repeating the same advice, and the one who needs to finally admit: their life is their responsibility, and mine is mine. Because accountability does not start with everybody else. It starts with you.
