This week on The Salisha Show, Salisha Thomas opens up about one of the most personal and transformative chapters of her life: her decision to wait until marriage and what that long journey taught her about patience, purpose, and trusting divine timing. From growing up in a strict and faith-filled household to navigating college, touring, dating, and the pressures and teasing of others, Salisha shares the emotional reality behind choosing to wait and the strength it took to honor her own values.

In this vulnerable and deeply human solo episode, she reflects on
• What waiting actually looked like through her teens, college years, dating seasons, and touring life
• The misconceptions and judgments she faced from others
• What it meant to stay true to herself even when the world told her she was behind
• The moment she had a powerful vision that shifted everything
• How meeting her husband Andrew confirmed what alignment really feels like
• Why timing, energy, and self-respect matter more than timelines

She also shares encouragement for anyone waiting for love, career breakthroughs, self-growth, or clarity. Her message is that waiting is not weakness. Waiting is alignment. Waiting is trust. And what is meant for you will not miss you.
