  • My Faith Journey

    My faith is what has brought me through the toughest times in my life as an athlete and as a person. On this episode, I talk about how and when I built a foundation of faith, how my faith has grown stronger through each season of life, and how I continue to grow in faith.

    By BELIEVING that things are going to work out, or that they already are worked out, we can set ourselves up for peace, blessings, and success that last.

  • Injury to Blessings in Disguise? (ft. Brilan McCory)
    One play sometimes changes everything. For better or for worse.
    When the unexpected strikes, how do you respond? How can you respond? How should you respond?
    Brilan McCory, one of my teammates at Roosevelt University answers all these questions and more on today's podcast episode... after facing one of the scariest-- and rarest-- injuries.
    A completely torn hamstring. A major surgery. Months in crutches. Limited motion.
    This episode is for anyone facing something that seems too big, too scary, to overcome.

  • A Timeless Lesson I Learned from Basketball
    On this episode of the "Live with Grace" podcast, I discuss a lesson I've learned through my journey with basketball: the importance of showing up.
    I've learned that showing up is a form of self love and self care. I define it as discipline rooted in love.
    I hope that sharing this small piece of my growth and journey helps you in whatever chapter you're in.

  • Trusting Plan A (ft. Elijah Melendez)

    What does it mean to trust plan A? Is having a plan B smart, "realistic," or a mask for fear?

    A recent research study (Shin and Milkman, 2016) revealed the dangers and risks of having a “Plan B" when you truly want your “Plan A” to succeed. The researchers found that once you

    begin thinking about a fallback plan, your desire to achieve your ultimate goal decreases.

    They found that those who were encouraged to develop a Plan B were less likely to achieve their goal than those who did not receive these instructions. Not only were the Plan B participants less successful, their interest in reaching their original goal decreased.  

    All this and more on this week's episode of the Live with Grace podcast, featuring Elijah Melendez, a D1 Football player at McNeese State University.

    I hope y'all enjoy + have a great week !!
