Imagine Yourself Podcast

Ever catch yourself wondering if you’re “doing prayer right”? Like maybe it should sound more spiritual, more polished… or maybe the whole idea just feels a little awkward. In this episode of Imagine Yourself, we open up about what prayer really looks like when we drop the pressure and just talk to God from the heart.

Whether you're reciting something familiar, whispering a quick “help” in the middle of chaos, talking to God in the car… or however you find yourself praying—it all matters. There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to prayer, and the beauty is that God hears it all.  

If you've ever doubted your prayer life or felt unsure about how to start, this conversation will lift the weight. Let’s ditch the pressure, drop the guilt, and discover how real, everyday prayer brings us closer to God—and to each other.

Press play and imagine yourself praying with confidence, honesty, and freedom—just as you are.

Ever feel like life’s moving so fast, you barely have time to process any of it?
What if the simple act of putting pen to paper—or even recording a voice note—could help you heal, grow, and reconnect not just with your truest self, but with God? In this thought-provoking episode of the Imagine Yourself Podcast, Lanee and Sandy revisit a heartfelt conversation with Tareka Wheeler of Professional DNA, exploring the “unexpected gift” of journaling. Tareka shares how journaling became more than a habit—it became a lifeline. She opens up about how this practice has helped her walk through difficult seasons with God, creating space to be raw, real, and spiritually grounded.

Through candid reflections and touching stories—including that of a grieving mother journaling through her child’s illness—Tareka reveals how journaling can be both a time capsule and a form of therapy. It’s a sacred space where you can pour out your heart, process your pain, and listen for God’s gentle whisper in the midst of it all.

We also explore common barriers that hold people back—like worrying about privacy, struggling with consistency, or feeling “not creative enough.” But journaling doesn’t have to be polished or perfect. Whether you're jotting notes in a journal, typing thoughts on your laptop, or simply speaking into your phone, every honest reflection can become an act of courage and connection. It’s not about performance, it’s about presence. And God meets us in that presence.

You'll walk away from this episode with practical encouragement to try (or revisit) journaling as a spiritual and emotional tool. It’s a powerful way to process life, pray honestly, and remember who you are and whose you are. Journaling just might become an unexpected gift on your journey of healing, faith, and personal growth.

Ready to reconnect—with yourself, with your faith, and with what matters most? Press play and let this conversation guide you there.

Let’s dive into the ever-relevant topic of divine timing—how it feels when life doesn’t line up with our plans. This heartfelt conversation is for anyone who’s praying, waiting, striving—or just wondering if they’ve missed their moment. Lanee and Sandy remind us that even when we can’t see the full picture, there is movement happening behind the scenes. It’s an invitation to breathe, trust, and take heart—knowing that God’s timing is always on point.

Through personal stories, honest reflections, and a little humor, they explore how faith, patience, and even discomfort can open the door to unexpected peace and purpose. Sandy shares her recurring encounters with the numbers 8:28 and how they led her to the comforting promise of Romans 8:28: “All things work together for good for those who love God and are called according to his purpose.”—a truth that’s been a steady reminder during seasons of uncertainty.

Lanee takes it to another level looking at the difference between "manifesting" desires and surrendering them to God, explaining how gratitude, faith, and humility can coexist with ambition and hard work. She shares how this helps navigate unanswered prayers and long delays. Her takeaway? A powerful mindset shift: “God leads. I follow.” It’s not about passivity but about staying open and grounded as we do the work and trust God with the results.

So grab some coffee or whatever your favorite beverage is….settle in and press play to be encouraged to trust the timing, trust the process—and most of all, trust the One who’s writing your story.

 Life doesn’t always go as planned—but what if that’s exactly how it’s supposed to be?

Even when we don’t see progress, every setback and delay is part of a greater purpose.

 In this episode, Sandy and Lanee have a real, heartfelt conversation about leaning into God’s timing, finding peace in the waiting, and believing that He’s always working for our good. They explore how personal growth and divine intervention can go hand in hand, often revealing blessings we don’t recognize until later. 

Whether you're facing unexpected challenges or preparing for something new, this episode is packed with encouragement and practical wisdom to help you navigate life’s seasons with faith and hope. Let's discover the beauty of embracing the "not yets" together!
