You know, after my mom left this world...I unplugged from life.  Completely.  Nothing felt good anymore--not the things that used to make me smile, not the things that used to give me peace.  I didn't know how to be a mom anymore, how to be a wife, or even a good friend.  Everything felt off key...off balance...like my life had lost its rhythm and I couldn't find my way back to the melody.

I went through the motions, but my heart wasn't in it.  It was like the light had gone out inside me, and I didn't know how to turn it back on.

Have you ever been there? Where life just doesn't make sense anymore? Where the things you used to love don't feel the same? If you have..how did you get over it? Or maybe you're still in it--and if so, what keeps you going day by day?

Because I'll be honest with you...grief doesn't come with instructions and sometimes it's hard to know where to even begin.

These upcoming episodes are deeply personal to me.  They're dedicated to my mom--my rock, my safe place, my security blanket.  When she left me, it felt like the ground beneath my feet was gone.  Life didn't feel the same, and part of me felt lost forever.

Have you ever had someone in your life who was your everything--your anchor--and then they were gone? How did you cope? How did you keep going? Or...are you still trying to figure that out?

DM me, or email me I like to hear your thoughts.

Listeners, let me be honest with you--yes, I went back and married the same man again.  After everything we'd been through the first time, we found ourselves standing in front of that justice of peace again.  My heart was hopeful, thinking maybe this time would be different.  My mom? She didn't want me to do it.  She gave me that look only a mother can give---the one filled with wisdom, concern, and love.  She warned me.  But I didn't listen.

I ignored every red flag waving right in front of me.  I silenced the doubts; pushed aside warning signs, and followed what I wanted to feel instead of what I needed to see.  Sometimes, we convince ourselves that love can fix what time, truth, and reality already exposed.

Have you ever gone back, hoping things would be different the second time? Ignored your gut and your mama's voice? Tell me your story.  Let's talk about it.

Let me tell y'all something--going back wasn't easy, but it was familiar.  Comfortable in an uncomfortable kind of way.  We still laughed, we still had fun, and we even moved in together on Colorado Avenue NW.  But to be real, that place was a dump.  I knew deep down it wasn't where we were meant to be.  So I made a move and got us a place down at 325 P Street SW somewhere we could all live together, including my son.  That's when things started to feel a little more like home again.  Listeners, have you ever gone back to something that felt familiar--even if you knew deep down it wasn't right--just because it was easier than starting over?  What did you do when comfort started feeling uncomfortable?  I'd love to hear from you--email me and let's talk about it.

Listeners, have you ever ignored your gut, stayed too long, made excuses---only to find out you were right all along? That something wasn't sitting right because something wasn't right?  

When I finally pressed him for the truth, he looked me dead in the eye and said, yes--he was seeing someone else.  Imagine that.

My heart didn't just drop---it lit up in flames.

Listeners, if someone betrayed you like that, what would you do? How would you rise from it? Would you let it break you, or would you let it build the next version of you--stronger, wiser, unstoppable?

I want to hear your stories.  Email me---tell me how you would handle a betrayal like that.  Let's talk about real healing--the kind that sets you free.

Let me ask y'all something---have you ever put a wrecking ball to your own life?  Because I did.  I shut down my feelings, shut down my affection, and started nitpicking, picking cat fights over nothing.  Just because I didn't understand this peace I had in the relationship.  And honestly, maybe deep down...I was addicted to chaos.

Have you ever found yourself there? Stirring up mess when things are finally clam, because the calm feels too foreign?  Are you--or have you ever been--addicted to the chaos too? If so, I'd love to hear about it.  Email me and let's talk about it.

I want to be honest with you----I found myself asking, What's wrong with you? I had everything I thought I wanted: a great job, good benefits, my house in order, and a good man by my side.  On paper, life looked perfect.  But deep inside, I was uncomfortable, restless, almost like something was missing.  I couldn't figure out why.  Why am I questioning everything now?  Why can't I just be happy?

Let me ask you, listeners---have you ever felt like this?  Like everything should be right, but something still feels off? If so, why do you think that happens? I'd love to hear your thoughts---email me and let's talk about it

Life can hit you with the unexpected all at once.  I had a new job, a new car and a brand-new work shift-all happening at the same time.  It was exciting but overwhelming.  One thing that stayed on my mind was whether I was spending enough time with my son through all the changes.  Have you ever had life pile up on you like that? How did you handle it?

This week, I'm pulling back the curtain on a chapter of my life that tested every ounce of my strength.  I was deep in the trenches of hard, grueling training---far from home, missing my son, and questioning if I could really make it through.  I wanted to quit.  I wanted to run home where it was safe and familiar.  But my mom gave me some tough love:  "Don't come back without a JOB."  So I had a choice-break down or break through.  Tune in to hear how I learned to suck it up, push past the homesickness, face adversity head-on, and come out the other side with a solid career, good benefits, and a retirement plan that made every tear worth it.  

Have you ever wanted to quit but heard that one voice that pushed you to keep going?  Let's talk about it.

Hey listeners, today I want to open up about something that caught me off guard.  There was a time when life finally got quiet---no drama, no chaos, just peace.  Everything seemed to be falling into place.  But instead of feeling happy, I felt uncomfortable.  It was like I didn't know how to live without the noise and the mess.  I started questioning myself, wondering how to sit in the calm.  

Have you ever felt uncomfortable when life got too peaceful--like you were waiting for something to go wrong? Let's dig into it.
