Anger is one of the most misunderstood emotions in healing spaces. It’s often judged, suppressed, spiritualized away, or feared.

But what if anger isn’t the problem…
What if it’s the messenger?

In this episode, we gently explore what anger is trying to tell us when it shows up in our bodies, relationships, faith, and inner world.

Rather than pathologizing anger or rushing to fix it, this conversation invites you to pause and listen beneath the surface.

We’ll touch on how anger often forms as a response to unmet needs, unspoken pain, crossed boundaries, or moments where you didn’t feel safe enough to speak or feel fully.

This episode creates space to reconsider:• Why anger shows up when something deeper hasn’t been acknowledged.
• How anger can be protective rather than destructive.
• The difference between reacting from anger and responding to its message.
• Why suppressing anger often leads to disconnection — not peace.

If you’ve ever wondered why certain situations trigger you more than others, why you feel too much, or why anger seems to arrive uninvited, this conversation will help you approach it with curiosity instead of shame.

Anger isn’t asking you to explode. It’s asking you to listen.

Press play if you’re ready to understand what your anger has been trying to protect, and what healing might look like on the other side of that awareness.

Avoidance often disguises itself as peace.

As boundaries.
As being unbothered.
As protecting your energy.

But in this episode, I gently name the truth we don’t talk about enough: avoidance comes with a cost, and it always sends the bill later.

Join me as we unpack the difference between healthy boundaries and emotional withdrawal, between peace and suppression, and between self-protection and self-abandonment.

This conversation explores:• Why avoidance is often a learned survival strategy.
• The hidden emotional, relational, and spiritual cost of avoiding hard truths.
• How avoidance erodes intimacy, confidence, and self-trust.
• The difference between boundaries and fear-based disengagement.
• How avoidance shows up in relationships, trauma responses, and faith spaces.
• Why spirituality without emotional honesty can become a form of bypassing.
• What healing actually requires: courage, truth, and self-presence

If you’ve ever said I’m fine when you weren’t, avoided difficult conversations, stayed busy to avoid feeling, or confused silence with peace, this episode is for you.

You’ll also be invited to reflect on questions like:
What conversation am I avoiding?
What emotion do I numb instead of feel?
Where have I chosen silence over self-respect?

Avoidance may keep you safe in survival, but honesty is what sets you free in healing.

Some conversations don’t start because they’re new; they start because they’re familiar.

In this episode, I sit with a truth that stopped me in my tracks after hearing it spoken by Iyanla Vanzant: “The masks we wear become our baggage.” Not poetic. Diagnostic.

This episode was sparked by watching how quickly people respond when someone dares to remove a mask, especially when that someone is a Black woman. What’s often labeled as discernment is, in reality, control. What is often called holiness is actually legalism. And what’s framed as concern can be judgment wrapped in religious language.

As a woman of faith who has served in ministry, lived inside religious systems, and later began the work of deconstruction, I share what it looks like to move from performance to healing, from conformity to conviction, and from survival to autonomy.

Within this episode, we explore:• How masks form as survival strategies.
• When faith becomes surveillance instead of transformation.
• The difference between legalism and healing.
• Why Black women feel this weight so deeply.
• The emotional cost of being the strong one, the good one, or the spiritual one.
• And what it means to unmask without shame.

This is a conversation about reclaiming your body, your voice, your choices, and your relationship with God, without fear, policing, or performance.

I’ll leave you with this question:
What mask are you still wearing… and what has it cost you?

Because when the mask is no longer serving your healing, it becomes baggage, and you deserve to travel lighter.
