All I Need with Bre

Welcome back to All I Need with Bre! 💜🎙️

We’ve talked about recognizing when you’re not okay, but what happens next? What do you do when everything gets quiet, the responsibilities are still there, and you’re trying to figure out how to move forward?

In this episode, I’m getting honest about what life looked like after leaving my job, navigating financial uncertainty, grieving what didn’t work out, and learning how to rest while still handling real-life responsibilities.

We’re talking about the challenges of being independent, asking for help, learning to receive support without guilt, and finding the balance between faith, gratitude, disappointment, and exhaustion.

And y’all… I have some GOOD NEWS to share! 🥹🙌🏾

But even in celebrating answered prayers, I’m learning that gratitude and exhaustion can coexist. Sometimes God is moving, doors are opening, and you’re still trying to make it through the day.

I’m also sharing a vulnerable moment with God about longing for more support, the reminder that He hasn’t abandoned me, and how a disappointing job rejection unexpectedly became an opportunity for something new.

Throughout this conversation, we’re exploring what it means to:

• Give yourself permission to rest without neglecting your responsibilities
• Grieve what didn’t work out while remaining hopeful
• Ask for and receive help without shame
• Recognize God’s faithfulness even when provision doesn’t look the way you expected
• Set healthier boundaries and lean on safe people
• Take the next faithful step without trying to rebuild your entire life overnight

One thing I hope you remember: Not being okay is not the end of your story. Sometimes it’s the first honest place from which you can begin rebuilding.

You don’t have to heal on a deadline, have every answer, or figure everything out today. Sometimes the next step is simply resting, praying, reaching out for support, or doing the one thing that’s within your capacity.

And as we continue Season 2, we’ll be talking more about how healing can change the way we see our friendships, relationships, and the access people have to us.

Scriptures referenced:

• Psalm 119:18 — A prayer for God to open our eyes to see and understand His Word.
• 1 Samuel 8:4–9 — Israel asks for a king, and God reminds Samuel that their rejection is ultimately of His leadership.
• 1 Kings 19:4–8 — Elijah, exhausted and overwhelmed, receives rest and nourishment before continuing his journey.

Welcome back to All I Need with Bre! 💜🎙️

Just because you’re showing up, getting things done, taking care of responsibilities, and making it through each day doesn’t necessarily mean you’re okay.

In Episode 1, I shared why I stepped away and how the people closest to me recognized that I wasn’t doing well before I fully acknowledged it myself. This episode takes that conversation a little deeper.

We’re talking about what it looks like to be functioning but not necessarily well.

From emotional exhaustion and decision fatigue to dreading responsibilities, overfunctioning, and constantly waiting for the next opportunity to rest, I’m sharing the signs I overlooked and how I eventually realized that what I thought was just another difficult season had become something more.

We’ll also talk about recognizing patterns in our mental and emotional well-being, listening to our bodies, allowing safe people to support us, returning to therapy, setting boundaries, and understanding that asking for help is not a weakness.

Because sometimes we’re so used to surviving that we don’t recognize when survival mode has become our normal.

One thing I hope you take away from this conversation: Functioning and wellness are not the same thing.

You don’t have to wait until you’re completely burned out to acknowledge that something needs to change.

So, take a moment to check in with yourself. How are you really doing? And if you’ve realized you’re not okay, what do you need next?

We’ll continue that conversation in Episode 3. 🤎

Scripture referenced: Habakkuk 2:2 — Write the vision and make it plain.

Welcome back to Season 2 of All I Need with Bre! 💜🎙️

Did y’all miss me? Because I definitely missed y’all!

After taking a much-needed hiatus, I’m back, and we’re starting this season with an honest conversation about why I stepped away, what I’ve been navigating, and what I’ve learned along the way.

The truth is, I wasn’t okay.

Between burnout, leaving my job, navigating changes in friendships and relationships, and realizing how much I had been carrying emotionally, I had to acknowledge that I was so used to functioning and showing up for others that I wasn’t fully recognizing what was happening within myself.

In this episode, we’re talking about mental health, overfunctioning, grief, boundaries, therapy, asking for help, and learning that rest doesn’t have to be earned.

I’m also sharing why I extended my hiatus, how my faith has helped me navigate this season, and what you can expect as we continue having honest conversations throughout Season 2.

I’m not returning because everything is resolved or because I’m completely healed. I’m returning because I’m healthier, I’m learning, and I’m ready to talk about it.

If you’ve been carrying more than you’ve acknowledged, showing up for everyone else, or simply trying to find your footing in a difficult season, this conversation is for you. 🤎

And because we have some catching up to do, Season 2 is kicking off with three episodes!

Here’s the updated full description:

Episode 13 | God, I Know You Can… But Will You? 💜

What do you do when you believe God is capable… but you’re tired of waiting to see if He’ll actually do it for you?

This episode is about disappointment, waiting, rejection, closed doors, hard seasons, and the questions we don’t always say out loud.

The relationship didn’t work.The job wasn’t what you thought it would be.The opportunity passed you by.You’ve prayed, applied, healed, grown, tried again—and you’re still wondering:

God, I know You can… but will You?

In this episode, we’re talking about:

💜 Why protection and redirection can still feel like rejection💜 Hard seasons not automatically meaning God is punishing you💜 Accountability without condemning yourself💜 Discernment, boundaries, and learning from what didn’t work💜 Love, free will, and refusing to chase or settle💜 Difficult leadership and learning what kind of leader you want to become💜 Comparison and jealousy—and using them as information instead of letting them consume you💜 Spiritual amnesia and remembering what God has already brought you through💜 Caring for your mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical well-being while you wait💜 Staying connected instead of suffering in silence💜 Recognizing your growth even when the breakthrough hasn’t happened yet

One thing I’m learning is that disappointment doesn’t erase evidence.

I’m sitting in prayers that were once unanswered. I’ve watched God provide in ways I didn’t expect. I’ve been released from situations I once begged Him to change. The answer didn’t always look the way I imagined—but He still made a way.

So when I start wondering, “Will You do it for me?” I have to remember:

He’s carried me before. I have evidence for this.

Maybe my job in this season isn’t to manufacture certainty or force an outcome.

Maybe it’s to stay honest.Stay connected.Take care of myself.Remember what He’s already done.And keep trusting Him while I wait.

So I’m leaving you with two questions:

Where are you struggling to believe—not that God can, but that He will?

What evidence do you already have that reminds you He has carried you before?

Feel the feels. Pray about it. Journal it. Sit with it.

And maybe, little by little:

“God, I know You can… but will You?”

becomes:

“God, I know You can. And I know You will—in Your timing.”

Not “I’m good.”Not “I’m blessed.”Not the answer you automatically give when somebody asks.

How are you really doing?

This episode wasn’t planned. I just needed to talk.

After my grandfather asked me that exact question, I realized how much I’ve been carrying lately—grief, transition, work stress, loneliness, gratitude, healing, unanswered prayers, missing people I’ve had to release, and learning how to stay present while I wait for God to do what only He can do.

And the truth is… I’m grateful.

And sometimes I’m still lonely.

I’m healing.

And sometimes I still miss people.

I trust God.

And sometimes I still wonder how long a season will last.

Both can be true.

In this episode, we’re talking about:

💜 Giving yourself permission to grieve💜 Being honest with God about loneliness, disappointment, and desire💜 Missing someone without forcing reconnection💜 Why knowing your worth doesn’t mean avoiding vulnerability💜 “If you’re the prize and I’m the prize… what’s the goal?”💜 Creating emotional safety for both men and women💜 Wanting to be pursued while still letting someone know they’re wanted💜 Taking accountability without taking all the blame💜 Recognizing where fear may have kept you from saying what you really needed to say💜 Learning yourself in your single season💜 What self-care actually looks like when life feels heavy💜 Trusting that a difficult season is not proof that God is punishing you💜 Allowing yourself to feel instead of pretending you’re okay

I’m learning that I don’t have to prove myself to be worthy of love.

But healthy love will still require me to participate.

To communicate.To be honest.To choose.To receive.To trust.And yes… to be vulnerable.

I also believe sometimes we spend so much time thinking about how someone hurt us that we never stop to ask:

What did this experience reveal about me?

Not for blame.

For growth.

So before this episode ends, I want you to check in with yourself.

Are you holding your breath?Is your jaw clenched?Are your shoulders sitting up by your ears?Does your chest feel heavy?

What do you need to feel?What do you need to release?What do you need to surrender?What do you need to receive?

Maybe you need to cry.

Maybe you need prayer.

Maybe you need rest.

Maybe you need a hug.

Maybe you just need somebody to ask:

How are you really doing?

Wherever you are right now, I hope you know that you are seen, you are loved, and you do not have to pretend your way through this season.

The best can still be ahead of you while today is still hard. 💜

And when God does the thing for me… trust me, y’all will hear about it. 😂

Until then, we keep healing. We keep learning. We keep becoming.

Keep it cute. Keep it God. Be good to yourselves.

Episode 11 | Protecting My Peace Without Closing My Heart 💜

What if your “quiet era” isn’t about disappearing at all?

Maybe it’s about becoming more intentional with your time, your energy, your heart—and what you allow access to you.

Lately, I’ve been craving less noise. Between work, life, social media, podcasting, relationships, decisions, notifications, and simply being on, I’ve realized how precious peace has become to me. So yes… I literally bought a $10 alarm clock so I can wake up without immediately entering everybody else’s world. 😂

But this episode goes deeper than an alarm clock.

We’re talking about protecting your peace without hardening your heart—remaining loving, open, and vulnerable while understanding that vulnerability does not mean unlimited access.

In this episode, we get into:

• Protecting your mornings and creating practical habits for peace
• Decision fatigue and realizing everything does not require your solution
• “Letting them” and deciding what you will do
• Being open without giving everyone access
• Forgiveness without automatic reconnection
• Interest vs. compatibility
• Attention vs. intention
• Chemistry vs. character
• Asking God who is safe enough to receive certain parts of you
• Dating beyond the persona
• Standing on business while still having a soft heart
• Moving past “I’m the prize” and asking, “What is the goal?”
• Preparing for a healthy marriage—not simply wanting a wedding

Because I don’t just want accomplishments, relationships, or opportunities.

I want to become healthy enough to sustain what I’m asking God for.

A Prayer Before a Difficult Conversation 🤎

Holy Spirit, You know what I’m thinking, what I’m feeling, and what I’m carrying concerning this situation. You also know what the other person is thinking, feeling, and carrying—even the things neither of us knows how to put into words.

If this conversation needs to happen, create the opportunity and make the timing clear. Prepare and soften both of our hearts. Remove defensiveness, fear, pride, and offense.

Give me the right words and the wisdom to know when to be quiet. Give us listening ears so we are actually hearing one another. Let truth be spoken with love, integrity, and clarity.

Give me discernment, peace that does not depend on receiving the answer I hoped for, and courage to accept whatever truth is revealed.

If reconciliation, restoration, or a deeper relationship is Your will, lead us there. If something needs to end, give me strength to release it. If I need to wait, help me not to force what You have not instructed me to move.

Above everything, have Your way. Let me leave the conversation knowing I honored You, honored myself, and treated the other person with love and integrity. In Jesus’ name, amen.

This prayer is asking God for:

• The right timing
• Softened hearts
• The right words
• Listening ears
• Discernment
• Peace
• The courage to accept the truth

Restoration belongs to God. We don’t have to force reconciliation or resurrect something He has asked us to release.

If something returns, let God prove it.If something ends, let Him lead it.If someone new enters, test the fruit.And when you’re uncertain—ask Him.

What are you protecting in this season—not because you’re afraid, but because you finally understand its value?

You got this. I got this. 💜

Keep it cute. Keep it God. Be good to yourselves.

What happens when you’ve healed enough to know you still want love, friendship, purpose, community, and the desires God placed on your heart… but vulnerability still feels a little scary?

This episode started with a song and turned into a real conversation between me and God about vulnerability, disappointment, discernment, and the freedom to be seen.

A few episodes ago, we talked about what happens when your heart has been mishandled. This time, I wanted to go a little deeper.

What happens after the hurt?

How do you become vulnerable with God again when something you prayed for didn’t work out?

How do you remain open without ignoring what you’ve learned?

How do you trust the next person without making them pay for what the last person did?

And maybe most importantly…

Are you ready for what you’ve been praying for—and are you ready to be seen when it gets here?

In this episode, we’re talking about:

• Being honest with God about disappointment• Trusting Him again with the desires of your heart• Why desire and surrender can coexist• Testing the fruit instead of ignoring discernment• Vulnerability + healthy boundaries• Becoming wiser without becoming harder• Doing your own work while praying for the right people• Receiving healthy love, friendship, opportunities, and community when they come• Learning that healing doesn’t mean never being afraid again—it means fear doesn’t get to make every decision

One thing I know for sure: I don’t want disappointment to make me minimize what I still desire. I want to remain free enough to pray big prayers, love deeply, use wisdom, trust God, and allow the right people to truly know me.

📖 Scriptures mentioned in this episode:

Mark 9:24 — “I believe; help my unbelief.”

Philippians 4:8 — Whatever is true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, commendable, excellent, and worthy of praise—think on these things.

Matthew 7:16 — “You will recognize them by their fruits.”

1 John 4:1 — Test the spirits to see whether they are from God.

2 Timothy 1:7 — God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind.

1 Corinthians 13:4–7 — Love is patient, love is kind…

✨ Quick clarification for my note-takers: During the episode, I accidentally referenced 1 Corinthians 4 while talking about “love is patient, love is kind.” The passage I was referring to is 1 Corinthians 13:4–7. Y’all know we keep it real over here. 😂💜

Also referenced throughout the conversation: Proverbs 31, Ephesians 5, Psalm 34:8, Psalm 34:10, and Philippians 4:7.

We pray for fresh starts…

But no one really talks about what happens after the prayer is answered.

The loneliness.The budgeting.The holidays away from family.Searching for community.Finding a church home. Learning to trust God in a brand-new season.

In this episode, I’m sharing what my first year in Houston really looked like—the beautiful moments, the hard moments, therapy, healing, disappointment, growth, and learning that sometimes the fresh start isn’t the finish line…

It’s just the beginning.

If you’re starting over, rebuilding your life, moving to a new city, or simply asking God, “Now what?” I hope this episode reminds you that you are not alone.

🤍 In this episode, we talk about:• Starting over from scratch• The loneliness nobody prepares you for• Therapy, healing & asking for help• Finding community and a church home• Learning to trust God’s timing• Becoming the person God is calling you to be

For the longest time, one of the questions I’ve been asked the most is:

“Why did you move to Houston?”

In this episode, I’m finally sharing the story.

From the life I thought I was building in Florida, to the disappointments that changed everything, to learning how to trust God when the next step didn’t make complete sense—this is the journey behind one of the biggest decisions I’ve ever made.

We’ll talk about:

• Why Florida stopped feeling like where I was supposed to stay
• What 2023 taught me about surrender and obedience
• The conversation that changed everything
• Moving to Houston with more faith than certainty
• Learning to stop using other people’s understanding as proof that I heard God correctly
• Why I would make the decision all over again

If you’re in a season where God is asking you to trust Him, even when you don’t have all the answers, I pray this episode encourages you to take the next step.

Key takeaway:“Sometimes God closes one season before He reveals what’s next.”

In this week’s episode, I’m answering some of your questions and sharing more of my heart.

We talk about what God has been teaching me in this season, how I handle discipline from the Lord, grief, healing, purpose, mental health, moving to Houston, relationships, and the woman I’m becoming.

Throughout this conversation, one prayer kept coming back to me:

“God, show me me.”

Before asking God to change our circumstances, maybe we should ask Him to continue changing us.

Whether you’re navigating disappointment, chasing a dream, healing from something difficult, or simply trying to trust God one more day, I pray this conversation reminds you that you don’t have to do it alone.

Because at the end of the day…

Do it with God.
