Mommy Couch Confessions Raquila-D'Nai Smith

Hey Y'all!
Driving a standard transmission vehicle taught me the delicate balance of clutching, breaking and accelerating. Sometimes life comes at us so fast that trying to shift too soon puts at risk for causing distress just like in a car. Join me on the couch as I share with you how I've navigated through a shock so real and news so consecutively overwhelming I thought it was the end of me but how God used that to get my attention and shift my perspective from what was happening to Him.

Hey Y'all!
Have you ever felt like life was coming at you all at once? That was me recently and it was A LOT! Join me on the couch as I share how I processed grief, death, anger, and a myriad of other emotions that came along with adulthood, parenthood and life. My hope is that my truth will help encourage you through yours because we aren't alone in this world, no matter how much it may feel like it at times. There's always light in the darkness!

Hey Y'all!
We've all had seasons or life experiences that we've wanted to share to encourage or help guide others. But there are also some things we hold tight and keep close. How do we know the difference between what to keep and what to share? Have you ever felt like sharing your truth would hurt someone else? Or maybe, your truth isn't something you want critiqued or comments about. If you can relate to any of those, join me on the couch where I share how I am navigating through sharing my own story. 

Hey Y'all!
Have you ever found yourself rationalizing why good things happen to you or being afraid that accepting something good feels more like a trick than a treat? Well, join me on the couch today for this chat. Goodness exists but choosing to allow it in our lives or choosing to receive it (especially when we give it freely) can prove to be difficult until we get out of our own way.

Hey Y'all! The summer heatwave is still in full effect but with school back in session, the freedom and fun of summer has come to an end. Having found transitions as a normal part of life these past almost two years, leaning in and choosing joy almost felt like a privilege one earns as opposed to a beautiful part of life. Ever been there? Well, join me on the couch and lets catch up and talk about it!

Hey Y'all!

I can't believe we are almost halfway through May. It's graduation season, summer weather in the South is creeping in and like the transition of nature's seasons, I've had a few myself. Join me as I share a peek into where I've been and how I've moved (and still am) moving through it. Lots of vulnerability and truth here but I hope mine is an encouragement to you. Forging ahead can be hard but when we look at the alternatives, it's the best option every time!
