    Jan 8 2026

    This season finale is a love letter.

    In Being in Community Gives Us Momentum, Predencia reflects on the truth that she was never made in a solo act.

This episode celebrates the people who poured in, stood firm, and added real weight to the shine, reminding us that momentum isn’t built alone, it’s built together.

    In this tender and transparent episode, Dear MK: The Season Will Pass, Auntie Denden opens up about navigating depression, faith, and self-awareness through the changing seasons of life. Framed as a love letter to her niece, MK, this episode unfolds through the Carat, Cut, and Clarity framework, revealing how healing rarely happens in isolation, how community interrupts old lies, and how even in the coldest moments, God is still redeeming every chapter. With honesty and grace, Denden reflects on her own winters of the soul, the lessons learned in stillness, and the quiet ways faith keeps her grounded when the light feels far away. It’s both a testimony and a prayer for her niece, for herself, and for anyone enduring a season that feels endless, a reminder that even when warmth feels distant, it’s already on the way.

  • LUSTerina (We Must FLEE)
    Oct 24 2025

    In this deeply personal episode, Lusterina, I explore the tension between desire and divinity the ways lust can both wound and awaken us. Through my own story of childhood abuse, teenage secrecy, and the slow work of redemption, I uncover what happens when the fire that once consumed you becomes the light that refines you.

    This isn’t just about lust it’s about Lusterina: the glow that remains after God redeems the parts of us we thought were too dark to be seen.

    From the weight of desire (Carat), to the wound of experience (Cut), to the surrender that brings healing (Clarity), this episode is a testimony of how confession, community, and grace can turn shame into shine.

    Because God doesn’t change your nature, he redeems it. And even lust, in His hands, can become light

    What if the version of you everyone expects… isn’t the one you’re becoming?

    In this episode, I explore the power of personal rebranding through the lens of friendship, trauma, responsibility, and healing. What started as a girls’ trip turned into a mirror, reflecting roles I never signed up for and blind spots I couldn’t ignore.

    • Shedding the weight of old labels and expectations
    • The humble work of rethinking who I am and who I’m called to be
    • Reclaiming joy, purpose, and space for softness
    • How childhood wounds quietly shape adult dynamics
    • My 5 blind spots and 5 superpowers in becoming the brand I now honor

    This episode is a reminder: you are not stuck. You are a gem in motion. And yes, brands can change.

    Tune in, reflect, and ask yourself: What promise is your brand making to the world and is it still true
