In this episode of A Seat at the Table, I’m joined by The Rooted Life for a conversation on friendships that multiply—relationships that are deeply rooted in Christ and continue to grow, even through change. Together, we talk about what it looks like to build friendships that don’t compete, compare, or crumble in new seasons—but instead multiply love, faith, healing, and purpose. We reflect on boundaries, longevity, comparison, and how God uses healthy relationships to bear fruit far beyond us. If you’ve ever wondered how to stay connected while evolving, how to love well without losing yourself, or how faith shapes friendship—this episode is for you. Pull up a seat. Let’s talk.

In this episode, I open up about the quiet places God forms us — the places no one claps for, the seasons where visibility doesn’t match value. If you’re in a season where you feel overlooked or unseen, I pray this episode reminds you that God does His best work in the dark. And you’re not behind. You’re just being built.

In this episode, I open up about my own story—navigating uncertainty, endings, and the tension that comes with stepping into something new. Sometimes the hardest part of growth isn’t the change itself, but the unfamiliarity of what’s next. This conversation is raw and personal. I talk about the pain that comes with transition and how God is still present—even in seasons that don’t make sense. If you’re in a season where you’re questioning what’s next, this one’s for you.

In this episode, we’re talking about the power of the pivot — how God uses detours, redirections, and unexpected turns to lead us exactly where we’re meant to be. Joan McDuffie opens up about her journey from community college to Yale University, and how learning to trust God’s timing completely changed her life. This conversation is a reminder that when God is involved, your pivot is not a punishment — it’s protection and purpose. Tune in, take a seat, and let’s talk about it!

Have you ever caught yourself scrolling and suddenly feeling behind? In this episode of A Seat at the Table, we’re unpacking one of the most subtle yet destructive patterns in our generation — comparison. From social media highlight reels to silent measuring sticks in our minds, comparison robs us of gratitude, distorts our identity, and keeps us stuck in cycles of striving. But there’s a better way. Join Tealine Matilda as she dives deep into: -Why comparison is more dangerous than it looks

• The subtle ways it shows up in friendships, calling, and creativity
• How to break free from the cycle of “not enough”
• Practical and spiritual tools to anchor your worth in God, not metrics

This conversation is a reminder that your journey has its own rhythm, grace, and timing — and that peace is found when you stop watching the lane beside you and start watering your own. Tune in, take a seat, and let’s talk about it!

All throughout our journey, we’re taught that community is the way up. But what happens when community becomes the very thing that holds us back, leaving us hurt, isolated, or even broken? In this episode of A Seat at the Table, we dive into the multilayered reality of community—the good, the bad, and the in-between. From the pain of church hurt to the struggles of isolation, we explore how community can sometimes wound us. But we also highlight the beauty of community: how it shapes us, strengthens us, and reminds us that we were never meant to do life alone. Join the conversation as we uncover both the challenges and the power of walking in true community.

In this episode, I share how gratitude became my anchor when I was facing the uncertainty of another year. Honestly, I felt nervous stepping into my birthday—unsure of what the future holds. But instead of letting fear take the wheel, I leaned on gratitude. Gratitude for God’s goodness. Gratitude for His faithfulness. And I realized… gratitude doesn’t just steady you, it makes room for more.

This episode dives deep into the pressures of womanhood—the unspoken weight that society often places on us as women. Through our experiences, perspectives, and beliefs, we unpack many of the false precepts laid before us and challenge the performance-driven mindset that can blind us from living in true purpose.
