I used to give a lot of unsolicited advice and then I'd get really frustrated when people didn't take it and I'd watch them suffer for it. Now I just let people get things wrong; it's freeing.

Join me this week as I discuss the egg drop theory (as conceptualized by moi), the frustration of giving (unsolicited) advice that friends don't take, some of my most embarrassing moments and what I learned through them. Ultimately, this is a conversation for anyone who needs to learn how to let go. Trust me, it's a lot less stress. It's okay to make mistakes; some of our most powerful life lessons came from making mistakes... same thing for the people we love. We need to talk about letting people get it wrong.

No edits again (til I find a new podcast editing software)!

In this episode, I give some life updates, show love for my community on here (hey, pod squad), and keep it real about consecration. Starting with a definition, I share what a consecrated life looks like (from my experience), the realities of being misunderstood, and ultimately landing on how all-knowing God is. We need to talk about living a consecrated life, for real.

In this episode, I talk about why I quit my job, how my mindset on quitting changed, and what I hope they learn from me quitting. I also talk about how God gave me this job, the season when it was a blessing, and how I could tell the well was running dry (aka when it wasn’t a such blessing anymore). These lessons I learned can be applied across the board: at your job (whether you're a supervisor, boss, or regular worker bee employee), situationships, in friendships, family relationships (this one is important) and anywhere else you need them. We need to talk about expressing needs, showing appreciation, and quitting at the right time. By the way, after I quit that job, my time opened up for more meaningful activities like connecting with friends ✨IN PERSON✨ and working on artistic projects (like my podcast)! When you say no to what isn’t working, you make room for more blessings.

📖 Bible verses I referenced & the full verse (you can look them up for full context) 📖

There’s a time for everything - Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

Do your best unto the Lord - Colossians 3:23, 24 & Ephesians 6:7

People belittling you so you don’t recognize how much you’re actually benefitting them by being there - Genesis 30 & 31

Live at peace with everyone so far as it depends on you - Romans 12:17 & 2 Corinthians 8:21

🎶 Songs that ran through my head as I recorded this (that are very on-theme) 🎶

Rise - the McClain Sisters

Break my soul - Beyonce

Breaking Point - Keri Hilson

We all need deliverance from something. Today, I learned the sobering truth about what happens spiritually when I was high, and why it's not worth it to me anymore. We need to talk about why and how I'm revoking all entry to the devil--and how you can, too.

We all have that friend who's always suggesting, "let's take pictures" at the hang-outs, proposing a photoshoot at every function, holding their camera up to take candids, and immediately asking you to send whatever photos you took to them either via AirDrop or the group chat. I'm that friend. Today we're talking about how I got into photography and why I print my photos. We need to talk about my obsession with cameras.

Season 4 Episode 2

Self control is a fruit of the Spirit, and every time I get asked an invasive question is an opportunity for me to exercise that virtue. I've now become a master at handling inappropriate, stupid, and disrespectful questions. Here are some of the ways I stay unbothered, and some tips on how you can handle these questions, too. We need to talk about remaining unbothered when folks ask invasive questions.
