IDK: Let’s Figure It Out

While accountability sounds like a great idea in theory, the ball will always be in our court to do the work. No one can move us beyond where we're willing to go. In this episode, I talk about the reality check my good friend Destynee gave me a few years ago when I asked her to be my accountability partner & how my husband REFUSES to take part in my "accountability" antics. #HeNeverTakesMeSeriously Lol.

On this episode of IDK: Let's Figure it Out, we kick off Crew Conversations, where Proverbs connect with friends to discuss previous podcast episodes and dig into life with those around her. This week she connects with Christen O'Neal, an author, thought leader and owner of clothing apparel & movement, Grace Galore. They discuss this year's election, the journey of them becoming friends, and how their accountability pact is helping them overcome their own struggle with perfectionism and inconsistency.

In this episode I discuss the mocking, the political division and challenge whether these faith filled views about voting in this election are even valid. I believe it's important to choose love over politics — especially in this climate, but y’all know I’m too bold to be quiet right? With ALL of the things I have to say about what's going on, I'm trying my best to walk in wisdom and choose love  -- even if it means deactivating Facebook for the sake of peace. But you know me, I gotta talk about it and I do it all on this here episode.

IDK about you, but I have a HUGE problem with inconsistency and perfectionism. For me, they’re basically twins — with one comes the other and frankly, I’m sikka both of ‘em. They’ve caused so many of my dreams and ideas to die before they even get started. Do you struggle with perfectionism? How do you overcome it? Leave me a message at anchor.fm/idkletsfigureitout & let’s talk about it! We’ll play it on the next podcast.

After trying my best to process everything I was feeling about the Breonna Taylor verdict, being a black woman and the responses (or lack thereof), I honestly just woke up and pressed play. This episode is full of raw emotions about the heartbreaking reality of being black in America and my frustration with believers who either don't get it or ignore the need for justice in this country altogether. I don't know how to feel right now, but maybe we can figure out how to process this together.

Listen, if we’re honest...we’re pretty much just out here winging it & doing our best to live this thing called life. You may be able to pretend you have it altogether, but I canNOT! I lean on God & my squad to help me navigate life nuances... heavy on the God part. I’m hoping you’d be apart of the squad & we explore life together. Enjoy the intro to the NEW “IDK: Let’s Figure It Out Together” podcast & let me know what topics you’d like to explore in the comments. Speaking of IDK, I don’t know when the next episode will drop, but I’ll try to be as consistent as I can — follow me on instagram @iamproverbs & I’ll keep you in the loop!
