Hey overcomer! I know that life has a way of turning things upside down. When it seems like you have everything under control and then something happens that changes your life. Whether it's something good or not, do you ever find yourself having to readjust? Have you ever found yourself growing tired or weary because you put so much effort into taking care of yourself and then it seems like it's not enough? I know that I have. I would love it if you would join me on today's episode as I share with you how a little misstep changed my life and caused some setbacks. I will not only share my story with you, but I also wanted to show you some love by giving some words of encouragement.

Verse of the day: Isaiah 40: 28-31

Hey overcomer! When you think about crying, do you see it as being a weakness? Have you ever found yourself hiding your emotions because you felt that way? I know that I am so guilty of doing just that. After being diagnosed with Endometriosis and IC then, hearing all that comes along with my conditions. I tried my hardest not to show any signs of emotions especially when I was in the denial phase. Have you ever done that? I would love it if you would join me for today’s episode as I talk about my perspective on shedding those tears and how by doing so it may be the release you need for your healing to begin. I will also discuss how there is power in letting go and letting God.

1 Peter 5:7  Cast "ALL" your cares upon the Lord; for he careth for you.

Hey Overcomer! Mood swings how many of us have them? If you are anything like me they seem to come and go as it pleases. I know it is something that I have personally struggled with over the years. Living with any chronic condition can be overwhelming and can take its toll not only on your body but your mood also. The thing is if you do not find a positive way to handle it all, it can cause your emotions to spiral out of control. As you may know, I believe that having good mental health is so important to our well-being and our healing. I would love it if you would join me on today’s episode as I talk about fighting mood swings, how it has affected me, and share with you some things that I have found helpful to get me through those intense moments.

Hey Overcomer! Do you find it hard sometimes to just get out of the bed in the morning but, somehow you manage to pull yourself together, get up, and start your day? Have you ever looked at your life or your situation and wondered, what am I suppose to be doing with my life now? If you are like me from the first moment you received a diagnosis (Endometriosis & Interstitial Cystitis) your life changed. Then all of a sudden all of the plans that you made, slowly start to change as well. I would love it if you would join me for today's episode, as I share with you how my recent health scare caused me to reflect on my life from a different perspective. I will also share with you my thoughts on how it is possible to discover purpose while chasing peace.

"Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit" Roman 15:13
