This month’s word is consecrate.

To consecrate means to set apart.

And sometimes that looks like silence.

Not everything needs to be explained.

Not every plan needs an audience.

Not every prayer needs commentary.

This episode is a reminder that oversharing can drain you, confuse you, and expose things that are still sacred. Some seasons require privacy. Some growth needs protection. Some miracles happen after you stop talking.

We don’t even hide gossip anymore. We’ve dressed it up, called it “tea,” and made it sound fun. But behind the laughter, gossip still steals something from us peace, trust, and purity of heart.

In this episode, Ellen shares her honest reflection on how gossip became normalized, what she learned from her own experiences.

It’s a soft, truthful conversation about conviction, maturity, and choosing peace over performance.

If you’ve ever said, “I’m just catching up,” or “It’s just tea,” this episode will gently challenge you to think deeper.

Sit down, breathe, and listen in.

No tea today just truth, grace, and quiet conviction.

December always feels like that ex you can’t stop going back to fun, chaotic, and expensive. In this episode, Ellen breaks down the wild cycle of Ke December boss energy, emotional spending, peer pressure, and the pressure to perform happiness. From the excitement to the Januworry blues, this is your December intervention funny, honest, and painfully relatable.

Tune in for a reminder that you can still enjoy December without losing your peace, your money, or your mind.

Ke December, but with sense.

If you have been sitting on an idea, a gift, or a calling, this one is for you. Ellen gets real about friendship, fear, embarrassment, and why waiting for the perfect conditions only holds you back. With laughter, honesty, and a little scripture, she challenges you to start where you are and trust that you will grow along the way.
