Episode 8, our season finale! Starting the podcast was a way to stay positive during a tough time. I love the podcast format, and sharing an episode with you all every two weeks. However…a recent chance encounter at a conference sparked an interest in something I hadn't really considered before  – a YouTube channel! So, I’m making this shift; one that feels daunting yet exciting, a new creative venture that feels more personal and in-depth.

The decision to pivot from podcasting for now doesn't come easy, but I'm eager to explore YouTube's silent-style videos, offering intentional messages in a world filled with noise. Despite feeling nervous about the vulnerability in showing more of my life, I've realized the importance of sharing one’s journey and gifts to inspire others. This step forward into YouTube feels like trusting in the unknown and allowing the path to unfold as I go.

While this marks a pause for the podcast, I'm grateful for everyone on this journey and excited for what's ahead. I would love for you to join me in my new chapter on YouTube. Thank you for being a part of this podcast journey, prioritizing yourself, and spending time with me. Carry on, be well, and don't be a stranger!

In this episode, I dive into my top five wellness picks for 2023. These selections are personal favorites that have significantly impacted my overall well-being…and I hope they can help you too!

Firstly, acupuncture remains a standout for its multifaceted benefits—enhancing my physical, mental, and emotional health. Pilates, a newfound passion, has transformed my perspective on exercise, offering a gentler yet impactful approach. 

Continuing from last year, the Aura Ring holds a significant place in my routine, now upgraded to track daytime stats, empowering me to gauge stress levels and restoration periods throughout the day. 

Another addition is the Woman Evolve TV app by Sarah Jakes Roberts, providing me inspiration on my spiritual journey and insightful lessons on faith and prayer.

Surprisingly, my fifth pick, my air fryer! It has made a tangible impact on my wellness by making cooking enjoyable and hassle-free. It has diversified my diet, encouraging healthier eating habits…so, definitely a wellness pick for me.

These picks have totally shaped my year – I'm always open to new suggestions and eager to connect, so let me know what has shaped yours! 

As we step closer to the new year, remember to prioritize self-care—it's invaluable and you deserve it. Feel free to DM me on Instagram; let's continue this conversation on wellness and self-care!

In today’s episode, I open up about recent months of my spiritual journey, reflecting on where I've been and where I am now in terms of my relationship with God. Growing up, I was deeply involved in church, but as I got older, I found myself feeling more disconnected and distant – and I had more trouble “fitting it in,” so to say. Despite setting yearly goals to strengthen my relationship with God, I felt like I was falling short each time.

Fast forward to the past year or so, I hit a point where everything felt challenging—business, relationships, health...Feeling tested and somewhat lost, I realized it was an opportunity to turn to God. As I leaned in, I encountered various guides, friends, and experiences that directed me to a church community I love and provided me with tools for spiritual growth.

Journals, devotionals, and a deeper approach to prayer became essential in reconnecting with God. I learned to meditate on scriptures, seeking their personal applications, and started praying more – not just in tough times, but also in gratitude! Remarkably, I began witnessing answers to prayers and moments where God seemingly intervened, guiding me through uncertainties.

This shift has transformed how I handle stress and anxiety, allowing me to show up as a more confident and resilient version of myself. While I'm not an expert, I share these experiences in hopes that they might resonate or inspire others on a similar path. I'm always open for a chat about this journey!
