This conversation felt like confirmation.

In this episode of The Middle Child, I sit down with Kira K Shane and we unpack what it really means to be in a “sifting” season — when life starts separating what belongs from what doesn’t.

Not just people… but mindsets, opportunities, habits, and even expectations.

We talk about her first viral moment — a design that quite literally found her (yes… the fabric hit her in the face after a restroom break 🤯). A moment that looked random on the outside, but was actually alignment.

We also get into a situation that frustrated me in real time — losing luggage — and how she helped me see it differently. Not as loss… but as God still answering my prayer, just in a way I didn’t recognize at first.

That part? It’ll shift your perspective.

Because sometimes what we think went wrong…is actually God doing exactly what we asked for — and more.

This episode is for anyone who feels like things are falling away right now.

7 means completion.

8 means new beginnings.

And maybe you’re standing right in between both.

Some conversations don’t just fill space, they shift something in you.

In this episode, I sit down with Kay Turner for a raw and honest conversation about grief…the kind that changes you, reshapes you, and forces you to see life differently. We talk about what it looks like to carry pain without letting it define you, and how the very things we once tried to hide can become the foundation of our testimony.

We dive into the idea that your “baggage” isn’t something to be ashamed of, it’s evidence of what you’ve survived. It’s proof of God’s hand on your life. Because when God steps in, He doesn’t just patch things up…He transforms you completely.

This episode is about perspective, purpose, and understanding your WHY. Why you kept going. Why you didn’t give up. Why your story still matters.

If you’ve ever questioned your journey, struggled with loss, or wondered how something painful could ever turn into something meaningful...this conversation is for you.

🎙️ Tap in. Reflect. And maybe even see your story a little differently.

In this episode, I sit down with Karléh for a real and powerful conversation that covers everything from music to life’s toughest moments.

Music has always been the foundation of who she is: her outlet, her passion, and still a driving force in her life today. We talk about her journey through Hurricane Katrina, her experiences partying with celebrities, and what it was like attending Yale and becoming an activist.

Karléh also opens up about overcoming domestic violence, sharing her story with honesty and strength. We also highlight the nonprofit she founded, which is dedicated to supporting and uplifting her community.

This episode is about resilience, growth, and using your story to make an impact—with plenty of music woven throughout.

I sat down with George M. Matthews, III for a conversation that goes way deeper than the surface. We talked about real life transformation, what it actually looks like to live for God (and why it’s way more fulfilling and yes, even more fun than people think), and what it means to truly be in alignment.We also got into finding your person, recognizing when something is right vs. just comfortable, and those moments where you have to ask yourself… “when is enough really enough?” 👀George brought honesty, humor, and a whole lot of wisdom...definitely one of those episodes you’ll want to replay.Tap in and let me know what part hit you the most 💬#PodcastLife #NewEpisode #FaithTalk #lifetransformation #Alignment #PurposeDriven #GodFirst #ChristianPodcast #GrowthMindset #RealConversations #FindingYourPerson #SelfDiscovery #FaithJourney #LevelUp #TruthTalk #PodcastHost #InspirationDaily #DeepTalks #PurposeOverEverything #TheMiddleChildPodcast

“Mr. Wrap It Up” came through and didn’t hold back 🎙️🔥

I sat down with Hurt King for a real, unfiltered conversation about why delivery matters just as much as the message because how you say it can either heal or hurt.

We got into forgiving your past, making the decision to truly change, and that moment when you finally say, “I’m done living like this.” Because real transformation starts in the mind first.

And yes… we went THERE 👀
Prosperous pastors but struggling congregations… and the question nobody wants to ask—if it was okay for the club Saturday night, is it acceptable for church Sunday morning?

This one is bold, honest, and full of truth. Tap in 💬

What does it really mean to live in alignment—and what happens when you don’t even realize you’re out of it?

In this episode, I’m joined by Ranielle Blackmon Cooper as we explore alignment, pivoting, and choosing to trust the unfolding of your path. We also dive into a powerful theme: forgiveness as the word of the year… even when you’re not sure what you need to forgive.

Sometimes the healing starts before the clarity does.

We also share why we have so much faith in the generations coming after Millennials—their awareness, courage, and willingness to reshape the world gives us real hope for what’s ahead.

This conversation is reflective, honest, and full of those “pause and think” moments. 🎙️
