The People Along the Way

We've all heard the saying, "It takes a village," but what if our village doesn't always look the way we expect?

In this episode, we're talking about community, the people who walk alongside us through different seasons of life, and how sometimes our greatest sources of encouragement come from the most unexpected places. From lifelong relationships to brief encounters that leave a lasting impact, this conversation is a reminder that we're rarely as alone as we think we are.

If you've ever felt isolated, struggled to find your people, or questioned whether anyone was truly in your corner, I hope this episode encourages you to look back and recognize the people who have helped shape your journey. Some were there for a lifetime, others for only a season—but every one of them mattered.

Because maybe your village has been there all along.

Respectfully... I Was Wrong

Sometimes growth looks like healing.

Sometimes it looks like finding peace.

And sometimes... it looks like laughing at yourself. 😂

This episode was inspired by attending the Pour Minds live show, where they revisited some of their old opinions to see if they still felt the same. Sitting there, I couldn't help but reflect on how much they had grown since the first time I saw them live—and just as importantly, how much I had grown.

The first Pour Minds show I attended was a completely different season of my life. I was running from things I needed to face, settling for relationships that weren't serving me, simply trying to make it through school, and honestly just surviving. Looking back, I can smile because I know that version of me was doing the best she could with what she knew.

But she's not who I am anymore.

So in this episode, I'm sharing a few things I can now say, "Respectfully... I was wrong about."

This isn't an episode about regret. It's about perspective.

Because changing your mind doesn't mean you failed. It means you've lived, you've learned, and you've grown.

So whether you're laughing at your younger self, realizing your parents knew what they were talking about, or simply embracing the unexpected twists your life has taken, I hope this episode reminds you that it's okay to evolve.

Sometimes being wrong is exactly what helps us become who we're meant to be.

Thank you for walking this journey with me.

And as always...

Honor your path. Honor your pace. And give yourself grace. 🤍

Father’s Day always makes me reflect on the people who have shaped me, and for this episode, I wanted to take some time to honor my dad.

Instead of telling stories or sharing memories, I’m reflecting on three quotes he has said to me over the years that have had a lasting impact on how I see myself, my dreams, and the way I move through life.

“The sky isn’t the limit, it’s only the beginning.”

“Rob the grave of your dreams.”

“Always remember you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, smarter than you think, and loved more than you know.”

These are more than just words. They are lessons that have challenged me to dream bigger, keep going when life gets hard, trust myself, and remember who I am when doubt tries to convince me otherwise.

In this episode, I reflect on the meaning behind these quotes, how they’ve shown up throughout different seasons of my life, and why I still carry them with me today.

Whether you’re celebrating your father, a father figure, or simply reflecting on the people whose words have shaped you, I hope this episode encourages you to think about the lessons that have stayed with you and the impact they continue to have on your life.

Because sometimes a few words can become the foundation you build a life on.

As we come to the end of our 75 Day Challenge, I wanted to take a moment to pause and reflect before rushing to the finish line.

Because sometimes we're so focused on getting through something that we never stop to see what it gave us.

In this episode, I'm sharing some of the biggest lessons and revelations I've experienced throughout these past 75 days. Not the accomplishments, not the checklist, but the things that were quietly happening beneath the surface.

One of the biggest things I learned was that journaling isn't just about getting your thoughts out—it's also about taking the time to go back and reflect on them. Reading through my journal entries showed me something I couldn't see day to day: evidence of growth, joy, faith, courage, and progress that I had overlooked while simply trying to get through life.

I realized that life has a way of making us feel like we're standing still, even when we're growing.

The second lesson came through creating intentional space for God without expectations. Not asking for answers. Not looking for a sign. Just making room for His presence in the everyday moments of life.

And if I'm being honest, the silence wasn't always comfortable.

But somewhere in that quiet, I discovered that God's silence never meant His absence.

This episode is a reflection on growth, faith, gratitude, and learning to slow down long enough to see what has been there all along.

As you finish out this final week of the challenge, I encourage you to do the same. Take a moment to look back. Reflect on what you've learned, what has changed, what you're proud of, and what God may have been revealing to you along the way.

You might be surprised by what you find in the quiet.

There was a time in my life when I thought I was living… but looking back, I realize I was surviving.

Not because I was falling apart or completely disconnected from reality. In fact, from the outside looking in, I was functioning. I was showing up. I was handling responsibilities. I was doing what needed to be done.

But somewhere along the way, I stopped feeling fully connected to my life.

The laughter wasn't quite reaching me. The joy felt distant. The days started blending together, and I found myself on a hamster wheel of simply trying to make it to tomorrow. It wasn't intentional. It wasn't something that happened overnight. I had been in survival mode for so long that it became normal.

In this episode, I'm reflecting on what it looked like to slowly come out of that season and realize that many of the things we've talked about in previous episodes—control, unforgiveness, hurt, fear, and carrying burdens that were never mine to carry—were all feeding into that survival mindset.

I share how learning to be present, paying attention again, and allowing myself to actually feel instead of performing feelings began to change things. Not overnight, but little by little.

Most importantly, I talk about how God became the center of that shift.

For a long time, there was so much noise, chaos, pressure, and distraction pulling me in every direction that I couldn't see what was happening. But now I can look back and recognize that every lesson, every challenge, every moment of growth was leading me back to Him.

God became my anchor.

That doesn't mean life suddenly became easy. It doesn't mean the problems disappeared or that I stopped having questions. Life is still life.

The difference is that I'm no longer trying to carry it all by myself.

I'm no longer excluding God from the day-to-day moments of my life.

And somewhere along the way, the light came back.

This episode is a little lighter, a little more playful, and honestly… a reminder to myself to actually practice what I preach.

For so long, life felt heavy, serious, structured, and honestly a little survival-mode coded. And while healing, growth, and self-work are all important, I’m realizing that joy matters too.

So this summer? We’re going outside 😭

In this episode, I’m sharing my summer bucket list—things I’ve never done, things I haven’t done in years, random adventures, experiences that push me outside of my comfort zone, and moments that simply sound fun.

From horseback riding and waterfall hikes to pool days, solo adventures, random experiences, and saying yes to life a little more… this episode is really about learning to enjoy life again.

Not every moment has to be deep.
 Not everything has to be productive.
 Sometimes healing looks like laughter, fresh air, trying something new, and allowing yourself to fully experience joy without guilt.

This episode is your reminder that you don’t have to have everything figured out to start living your life.

Maybe this summer isn’t about becoming a whole new person…
 maybe it’s just about letting yourself experience life as you are.

So yeah… welcome to Operation: Go Outside 😭☀️

And as always… give yourself some grace.

In this episode, I’m honoring both of my moms.

The one who gave birth to me… and the one who stepped in and chose to be my mom when she didn’t have to.

And if I’m being honest, my relationships with both of them have come with different layers, emotions, lessons, and moments of healing.

For a long time, I only saw things through my own perspective—through my hurt, my confusion, and the experiences I had to grow through. And those feelings were real. They still are.

But as I’ve gotten older, healed, and started navigating life as a woman myself… I’ve gained a different kind of understanding.

I’ve started to see them not just as “moms,” but as women.

Women who were experiencing life for the first time too. Women carrying responsibilities, pressures, insecurities, sacrifices, expectations, and emotions that I couldn’t fully understand until I started facing some of those same things myself.

This episode isn’t about pretending everything was perfect or dismissing my own experiences. It’s about acknowledging that both truths can exist at the same time.

My feelings were valid.
 And so were theirs.

I talk about the complicated emotions surrounding divorce, abandonment, womanhood, motherhood, stepping into a role that wasn’t originally yours, and the grace that comes from finally seeing people fully.

Because understanding them differently didn’t erase my feelings…

It helped me heal them.

And ultimately, this episode is a thank you.

To the women who shaped me, protected me, loved me, sacrificed for me, and helped make me who I am—even in ways I couldn’t fully recognize at the time.

They were just girls too… trying to figure it out.

And as always… give yourself some grace 🤍

In this episode, I’m getting honest about something I’m still learning in real time… what it actually means to love yourself.

Because if I’m being real, it wasn’t that I didn’t love myself… I just didn’t fully understand myself.

As I’ve been on this journey of dating myself and pouring back into me, I’ve realized that what I was lacking in my past relationships wasn’t just effort or care—it was intimacy. Not the way the world defines it, but the kind of intimacy that comes from being truly seen, understood, and known.

And the truth is… how could I expect someone else to know me like that, when I didn’t even fully know myself?

In this episode, I talk about what it’s been like learning a new version of me. Not because I was completely out of touch, but because I’m growing, evolving, and being stretched in ways that require me to meet myself again.

I’m opening up about the moments where I had to face myself—the good, the not so good, and everything in between. The times I realized I didn’t have the answers I thought I did. The times I had to stop placing blame outward and start looking inward.

And through it all, I’m learning how to love me… as I learn me.

This episode is about self-partnering. About grace. About understanding that growth doesn’t mean you had it all wrong—it just means you’re becoming more aware.

And maybe… it’s not that you don’t know yourself.

Maybe you’re just meeting a new version of you.

First things first… congratulations 🤍

Whether you’re graduating from high school or college, this is a moment to celebrate. You made it to a milestone that required discipline, growth, and perseverance—and you deserve to be proud of that.

In this episode, I wanted to take a moment to speak directly to you as you step into this next phase of life.

For my college graduates… I know that transition into the “real world” can feel overwhelming. The pressure, the uncertainty, the job search, the feeling of “what now?”—it’s real. And there is nothing wrong with acknowledging that. It doesn’t make you weak, it makes you human.

Sometimes things will work out exactly how you planned… and other times they won’t. You might not land the job you expected right away. You might hear things like “you don’t have enough experience,” and start questioning everything you worked for.

Take a breath.

The reality is, a lot of people don’t end up working in the exact field they got their degree in—and that’s okay. Be open to pivoting. Be open to the flow of life. Trying to control every detail will only create more pressure. Trust that things can still work out for your good, even if it doesn’t look how you imagined.

And don’t let imposter syndrome stop you from taking a chance on yourself. You’ve put in the work. You’ve learned the skills. Now it’s time to use them. Everybody starts somewhere—this is just your beginning.

And for my high school graduates… you’re stepping into something completely new, and I know that can feel just as scary.

Whether you’re going to college, trade school, or stepping straight into the world, all of those paths are valid. This is your life, your journey.

You might get somewhere and realize… this isn’t for you. And that’s okay. You are allowed to change your mind. You are allowed to pivot. You are allowed to figure it out as you go.

If you feel like you need time to learn yourself a little more, take it—but use it intentionally. Explore. Try new things. Get to know who you are and what you actually want.

Don’t let fear or outside opinions keep you from going after the life you want to live.

This is a new beginning.

You’re not behind… you’re just starting.

And as always… give yourself some grace 🤍

There was a time in my life where I felt completely lost.

Not just a little confused… but truly didn’t know where to start to even begin finding myself again. And in that space, I made a choice. I decided I wasn’t going to stay there.

So I went looking for my purpose.

But what I didn’t realize at the time was this… I wasn’t lost because I didn’t have purpose. I was lost because I couldn’t see it.

In this episode, I’m talking about how my need to control everything—how it looked, how it showed up, how it was supposed to happen—actually kept me from recognizing that I was already living in my purpose.

I had this very specific idea of what it was supposed to be, and because of that, I missed all the ways it was already showing up in my life.

The truth is… sometimes your purpose doesn’t look how you imagined it would. Sometimes it shows up in the things you do naturally. In the moments you speak up. In the times you advocate—for others and for yourself. In the patterns that follow you no matter where you go.

And if I’m being honest… sometimes your purpose can scare you. Sometimes you don’t want to see it. Or you can’t see it yet.

I’m sharing real moments from my life where I was using my voice—without even realizing that was the very thing pointing me back to what I’m here to do.

And how, over time, I’ve refined my understanding of my purpose to this:

To be a voice for the voiceless… even if that voice is just for me.

Because that still matters.

This episode is also a reminder that even when you start to understand your purpose, you’re still human. You’re still going to misstep. You’re still going to have moments where you question it, where you fall back into old patterns, where you don’t get it “right.”

And that’s okay.

This podcast… this space… is a part of me walking in that purpose. It’s me creating a place where people can feel seen. Where the thoughts, emotions, and experiences the world tries to minimize can be spoken out loud.

A reminder that you are not alone.

And if this reaches millions… that’s beautiful.

But if the only voice that’s healed in the process is my own… that still matters too.
