This episode is special to me because 1) I didn't plan it and I didn't write it, and 2) it became a beautiful conversation with my good friend and safe space, Shantray Smith. She invites me to elaborate on the term "detangle," what I mean by not being an island and the difference between self-sufficiency and independence, and how we can operate in grace even in encountering another's struggle. She also sets the space for me to break down what she designated as 3 themes of my work: Freedom from shame, not making God the villain of our story, and overcoming a victim mentality.

Her hope was that it would give you a look into my heart and mind to build trust and reveal the purpose of this podcast, and I am honored that she loves me enough to come up with questions that help highlight those things!

We invite you to listen in and join the conversation!
