Conversations that Bloom episodes:

October 31, 2022A God-Designed Love Story with Esther Chungu Nyathando
Ladies and gentlemen! I am so so excited to be back again with a new conversation that has been long overdue with my lovely friend Esther. We get real and talk about singleness, why it’s important to listen to God’s voice in all areas of your life, and especially when you are ready to get married. A God-designed love story requires us to all acknowledge where we are at with God, how we view relationships, and why we want to be in a relationship in the first place. When we do this, we allow God to do what He does best and we get to enjoy His will coming to pass in our lives without us trying to be in control.
Here’s what you can expect from our conversation today:
Living as a single God-fearing woman and what that REALLY feels like.

The questions we ask God when we are waiting.

Staying focused on the vision of your life.

Trusting God through it all.

How do I know the person I am with is aligned with my purpose?
Grab your beverage of choice, get comfy and enjoy the conversation!

August 22, 2022 This How I Fight My Battles
Do you know your real enemy? Are you fighting a battle that isn’t yours? How do we receive strategies to fight the things that feel like they are about to take us out? The word of God has all the answers we need. Today’s episode is really special for me because I’ve had to take a good look at my own battles, and how I tend to rely on my own strength when things get hard. But recently I’ve been receiving such powerful revelations from the Holy Spirit on how to fight from the position of victory and what this looks like. God wants us to always remember that He fights our battles for us, and all we have to do is trust in His ways, His word, and His love for us.
I am confident that today’s conversation will bless you as much as it did me!
“For we[a] are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.” Ephesians 6:12

August 08, 2022 Showing Yourself Grace When You Feel Like You Are Failing.
Hello once again!
Let’s get started with a quick life update, and reflect. Our episode today is all about grace and failure. Our hope is that you ask yourself this questions “What is my relationship with failure and how do I show myself grace if any?”
Giving ourselves grace is easier said than done. We beat ourselves up for mistakes and things that are out of our control. It may be a cliche catchphrase, but it's one we should start taking to heart -- the times when you need grace most are the times when you're least likely to give it to yourself.
What you should expect
Know how to strive for realness, not perfection
Importance of permitting yourself to not do or be everything
Why your me-time should be a priority not an option
Keeping our eyes on Jesus, always
Questions to answer
How do you self-regulate?
How do you spend your me-time?
What things do you cut off to be sane?
Who in your life constantly reminds you to show yourself grace when you forget?
Do you spend time journaling your emotions and feelings?

October 11, 202112. The More You Do, The More Jesus You Need with Luwi Luwaya
Have you ever found yourself running on empty? Feeling like you are pouring out and not being filled yourself? If your answers were yes to these questions then sis, that’s an evident sign you need to assess how much time you’ve been spending with Jesus and how much focus you’ve been placing on what you can control. Listen, your own strength can only go so far and when you burn out, that's a sign you need more Jesus. More Jesus will give you more freedom. You need more Jesus every day; every minute and every second.
Isaiah 26:3 - You will keep the mind that is dependent on You in perfect peace, for it is trusting in You.

John 15:4 - Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.
Here’s what you to expect;
How Jesus knows and holds our lives

Letting Jesus in on everything we do

Staying connected to the vine in all seasons

How to operate from a place of obedience

How to have honest conversations with Jesus on where you’re at right now

October 04, 2021 11. My Current Relationship With Money
Money is a touchy topic, for a lot of women, for a lot of reasons. If I am being honest with myself, money has always been a distant relative that I am only getting acquainted with and finally understanding why they matter in my life. And so, Money and I are currently working on building a healthy, transparent, and fun relationship. Instead of me avoiding the subject of money, I am facing it with everything I’ve got to make sure I pass on a healthy mindset to others and my kids (Yes I want kids but that's a whole conversation for another day). This is going to be a fun episode because get to answer some of the questions you shared with me on Instagram.
Here’s what you can expect;
How I used to view money conversations/money in general
What I do to maintain a healthy money mindset
The hardest lesson I have learned about money this year
How I have managed my money mindset as an entrepreneur
