Faith In Reality

In this episode of Faith In Reality, I sit down with Jayb, tattoo artist and entrepreneur, to talk about the faith, determination, and courage behind building his own tattoo shop in Passaic.

From discovering his passion for tattooing to turning his artistic talent into a business, Jayb shares the journey behind creating something meaningful in his own community. We get into the risks of entrepreneurship, overcoming self-doubt, trusting the process, and what it really looks like to bet on yourself when the outcome isn’t guaranteed.

This conversation goes beyond the art of tattooing. It’s about having the courage to create your own opportunities, staying committed to your vision, and understanding that sometimes you have to believe in your reality before it becomes visible to everyone else.

Because faith isn’t always knowing exactly how it’s going to happen. Sometimes, it’s simply taking the next step anyway.

Tune in as we explore what it means to have Faith In The Vision and build it anyway.

Turning 30 is more than just entering a new decade—it’s stepping into a version of myself that I’ve been growing toward for years. ✨

In this episode, I’m getting real about my transition into my 30s, the lessons my 20s taught me, and what it means to finally release relationships, connections, and situations that no longer align with where I’m going.

Sometimes moving forward means accepting that certain people were only meant to be part of a chapter—not the whole story. And while letting go isn’t always easy, I’m learning that protecting my peace, choosing myself, and making room for something new requires faith.

This is me embracing a new era—with more intention, more self-awareness, more boundaries, and a deeper trust in God’s plan for my life.

Because I’m not walking into my 30s trying to carry everything I had in my 20s.
 I’m walking in lighter. I’m walking in wiser. And I’m walking forward. 🤎✨

Welcome to Faith In A New Era.

What happens when your personal journey of healing becomes the foundation for a mission bigger than you?

In this episode of Faith In Reality, I sit down with Trindalah DeLane-Smith, Founder & CEO of LADI (Lead • Acquire • Do • Inspire), a nonprofit dedicated to empowering women of all ages through faith, sisterhood, leadership, and the Eight Dimensions of Wellness.

Trindalah opens up about the experiences that led her to create LADI, what it means to lead while still growing, and how God can turn something personal into a purpose that impacts an entire community.

We talk about healing, intergenerational sisterhood, leadership, faith, wellness, finding your purpose, and building something that outlives you. Trindalah also gets real about the realities of leading a nonprofit and the importance of creating spaces where women feel seen, supported, and empowered.

And of course, we put her to the test with Faith In or Faith Out 👀—where she has to choose between two options and tell us what she truly believes.

✨ In this episode, we explore:

• Turning healing into purpose
• What it really means to be a woman of faith and leadership
• The importance of sisterhood across generations
• The Eight Dimensions of Wellness
• Building a nonprofit from the ground up
• Trusting God when you don’t have all the answers
• Creating a legacy through service
• Leading by example vs. leading by instruction
• And some fun Faith In or Faith Out moments

This episode is a reminder that your story doesn’t have to end with what you’ve been through. Sometimes, the very thing you survived becomes the thing God uses you to help someone else overcome.

From creating lip gloss and hair oils to building confidence in her vision, this conversation goes beyond products—it’s about purpose.

If you’ve ever felt like you needed more, waited for the “right time,” or questioned your ability to start, this episode is your reminder that faith doesn’t require perfection—just action.

In this short solo episode, I talk about what it really means to outgrow the version of yourself that once felt necessary. The habits you built to survive. The standards you accepted when you didn’t know better. The mindset that protected you, but can’t carry you forward.

This conversation is about grieving who I used to be without shaming her. It’s about recognizing that evolution sometimes costs comfort, familiarity, and even certain relationships. And it’s about giving yourself permission to change without over explaining your growth.

If you’re in a season where you feel different, more aware, or no longer aligned with the old you ,this episode is for you!

In this solo episode of Faith In Reality, I’m talking about the season no one prepares you for the in-between. The space where you’re growing, praying, and trying, but nothing feels clear yet.

We explore what it means to rest without giving up on your vision, how hustle culture can quietly lead to burnout, and why slowing down might actually be an act of faith. This episode is for anyone who feels tired, uncertain, or behind in their journey.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re doing enough while feeling exhausted, this conversation is for you. Sometimes the breakthrough doesn’t come from doing more it comes from trusting more.

Faith in Showing Up for Self in 2026

What if the real work this year isn’t doing more but showing up better for you?

In this episode of Faith In Reality, we’re stepping into 2026 with intention, honesty, and grace. We talk about the power of forgiveness, especially the kind we often avoid giving ourselves, and what it means to stop pouring from an empty cup. From releasing guilt and past versions of ourselves to choosing boundaries, rest, and alignment, this conversation is a reminder that showing up for yourself isn’t selfish—it’s sacred.

Before you show up for the world, your family, your dreams, or your calling… you have to show up for you.

This episode is for anyone learning how to lead with faith, heal with patience, and move forward without carrying what no longer belongs in the new year.

✨ New year. Same faith. Deeper alignment.
