Have you ever judged the woman you used to be for staying quiet, pleasing others, or doing what she needed to do to survive?

In Season 12, Episode 5 of Love Life After, Christelle reflects on the shame and self-judgment we sometimes carry when we look back at earlier versions of ourselves.

She opens up about people-pleasing, remaining silent to keep the peace, and the frustration that comes when we realize we should have spoken up. But healing is not about punishing ourselves for what we did not know then. It is about understanding why we responded the way we did, honoring how we survived, and giving ourselves permission to grow.

Finding your voice does not mean becoming confrontational or unkind. It means learning to communicate honestly, establish healthy boundaries, and stop abandoning yourself to make everyone else comfortable.

You are allowed to outgrow old patterns without being ashamed of the woman who once needed them.

If you are learning to release people-pleasing, forgive your former self, and use your voice with courage and grace, this conversation is for you.

Welcome back, friend. We’re healing and growing together. 💜

The Humility to Learn, Unlearn, & Begin Again

What happens when growth requires you to reconsider something you once resisted?

In Season 12, Episode 4 of Love Life After, Christelle reflects on becoming more teachable in business, money, leadership, marriage, and faith.

She shares why she initially resisted increasing her prices, how reviewing her numbers revealed that her business was barely making money, and why she is learning to treat entrepreneurship like a business—not a hobby. She also explores the challenge of balancing leadership, mentorship, and friendship while building a team.

Christelle opens up about apologizing to her husband for how postpartum struggles affected their relationship, accepting God’s redirection during a major move, and allowing experiences like the Goldman Sachs program to reshape how she approaches life and business.

Being teachable doesn’t mean lacking confidence. It means being humble enough to listen, honest enough to acknowledge what needs to change, and courageous enough to move differently.

Moving Differently: Rest, Wisdom & the Power of the Pause

Have you ever known that you needed rest but continued pushing until your mind and body forced you to pay attention?

In Season 12, Episode 3 of Love Life After, Christelle reflects on the moment she realized rest could no longer be optional. Forgetfulness, difficulty communicating, and feeling mentally overwhelmed became signs that slowing down was necessary—not selfish.

She also shares how maturity and emotional intelligence have taught her to pause before reacting, take decisions to God first, and move with greater wisdom in her personal life and business.

From learning through painful decisions to protecting her peace today, this episode is an honest reminder that growth doesn’t always mean moving faster. Sometimes growth looks like resting, praying, thinking carefully, and choosing to move differently.

Have you ever said yes to something—even though you already knew you didn’t have the time, peace, or capacity to carry it?

In Season 12, Episode 2 of Love Life After, Christelle opens up about discernment, people-pleasing, and the pressure to say yes when something within us is telling us to pause.

She reflects on the subtle signs we sometimes overlook: scattered thoughts, repeated interruptions, unexpected phone calls, plans that will not come together, or a quiet feeling that something is not right for this season. These moments may not always be coincidences. Sometimes they are invitations to slow down, pray, and listen more carefully.

Discernment is not simply knowing the difference between right and wrong. It is also recognizing what is right for you, what you have the capacity to carry, and what God may be asking you to release.

If you have been feeling overwhelmed, distracted, or unsure about what deserves your yes, this conversation is for you.

Welcome back, friend. We’re growing together.

Knowing something and living it are two very different things.

In the first official episode of Season 12, Christelle reflects on what life has taught her about faith, personal responsibility, boundaries, self-love, relationships, and becoming. She shares why prayer must be accompanied by action, why working hard is not always the same as working wisely, and why genuine growth sometimes requires us to take an honest look at ourselves.

This conversation also explores the importance of believing in yourself, accepting what you cannot change, and recognizing that healthy relationships require care and participation from everyone involved.

Knowing better is only the beginning. Growth happens when we apply what we have learned, trust God’s guidance, and become willing to move differently.

Welcome back, friend. We’re growing together.

Love Life After is back for Season 12! 

After taking some much-needed time away, I’m returning with a new perspective and a deeper appreciation for the seasons that shape us.

In this short comeback episode, I’m sharing where I’ve been, what the pause taught me, and what you can expect from this new season.

Season 12 will explore growth, healing, purpose, self-love, and becoming... while digging deeper into the connection between knowledge, discernment, wisdom, and humility.

Sometimes growth isn’t about doing more. Sometimes it’s about slowing down long enough to understand what life—and God—has been trying to teach you.

If you’re growing through a season you don’t completely understand yet, come sit with me. Celebrate this milestone with me.

Welcome back, friend. Season 12 starts now. Same time, every Tuesday.

High-achieving women are often praised for holding it all together — but rarely given permission to rest, set boundaries, and heal.

In this powerful episode of Love Life After, I had the pleasure of having an honest conversation with Dr. Whitley — mental health therapist, coach, speaker, and advocate for high-achieving Black women navigating burnout, professional boundaries, and psychological safety.

We unpack:

• The hidden pressure of being “the strong one”
• Burnout in corporate spaces
• Why boundaries feel so hard for high-performing women
• The emotional weight many Black women carry silently
• Redefining success in motherhood and leadership
• Giving yourself permission to put healing first

This conversation is honest, grounding, and deeply affirming.

If you’re a high-achieving woman who feels exhausted but keeps pushing anyway — this episode is your reminder that strength doesn’t require self-sacrifice.

You are allowed to rest.
You are allowed to have boundaries.
You are allowed to heal.

Waiting seasons can feel uncomfortable, frustrating, and uncertain. But what if the waiting isn’t punishment… what if it’s preparation?

In this week’s episode of Love Life After, I talk about what it truly means to be in a waiting season and why prayer, stillness, and trust are so important during this time. Waiting isn’t about doing nothing — it’s about becoming stronger, wiser, and more aligned while God is working behind the scenes.

Sometimes the waiting is where your character is built, your faith is strengthened, and your identity is refined.

If you’re in a season where things feel slow or unclear, this episode is your reminder: stay grounded, stay prayerful, and just be.

Growth sounds beautiful until you realize it comes with a cost.

In this week’s episode of Love Life After, I’m talking about what growth truly requires us to give up — comfort, old habits, approval, familiar relationships, and sometimes even versions of ourselves we’ve outgrown.

Becoming isn’t just about gaining new levels — it’s about releasing what can’t come with you. Growth will stretch you. It will isolate you. It will challenge your identity. But it will also shape you into someone stronger, wiser, and more aligned.

If you’re in a season where things feel uncomfortable or relationships are shifting, this episode is your reminder: growth isn’t punishment — it’s preparation.
