We always hear about the red flags and rightly so, it’s important to be aware of what to avoid. But do we know what we should be looking for? Do we know what flags that are actually good, the greens ones? Well that’s what we’re going to talk about in this episode! Green flags are so important to mention as well.

“For the Lord God is our sun and our shield. He gives us grace and glory. The Lord will withhold no good thing from those who do what is right.” Psalm 84:11. Even though sometimes it may feel like God is withholding good from us, we must trust Him and know that He knows best and He’s working out everything for our good.

Don’t let social media or comparison steal your joy! We are all on different paths in life and that is OK! Life takes us all on different journeys for different purposes to be fulfilled. Even though it may be hard and frustrating, we must learn to enjoy the ride and be content where we find ourselves even if it’s not where we thought we would be.

New Years resolutions! We’ve all wrote a list and we’ve all failed at keeping up with the list. THAT’S OKAY! It’s the thought that counts right? LOL. In this episode I talk about what my mindset is going into 2021 after going through what we can say was one crazy, unpredictable year (2020). At first, I wasn’t feeling all to great bout 2021, but now... well, take a listen. :)

There are a lot of campaigns, spokespersons, advocates, that speak up about self love and how important it is, but let’s face it, those voices are drowned out by the ones who plaster the “picture perfect” person on magazines, tv shows, facebook. Or on a personal level, when it’s your dad making jokes, you friend saying you would look prettier if you..., or your boyfriend cheating on you. All these things make it really difficult to love ourselves. Yet, loving ourselves is crucial. So in this episode we’re going to talk about how to love ourselves and why it’s important.

Do you know what makes you, you? Do you know who you are, who you really are? There are seven things that make up our identity. Religion, ethnic background, values and beliefs, occupation and hobbies, physical attributes. These combined usually shape us into who we are today. But sometimes things happen, we go through something and it changes us. We get lost, and we have a really hard time finding our way back to who we were. But the reality is, we can't really go back, can we? So much has changed. So what do we do? How do we deal with that? How can we avoid this from happening?

Closure, we all want it. We want the answers to those questions floating in our heads, the ones that don't let us sleep at night, the ones that seem to hold us back. But do we actually need it? Do we actually need the closure we so desperately want in order to be healed, to move on, to be at peace?

Pain. It’s something we have all experienced in one form or another. It’s something that I wouldn’t wish on anyone not even my worst enemy. But, would you believe me if I told you that sometimes our purpose is found in our pain? Well, in this episode that’s what we’re gonna talk about.
