Real and Relentless

Today's episode is inspired by my rabbit-hole down Pinterest quotes and just about being a good freakin' human being. I chat about choosing kindness, confronting unkind circumstance in your life and staying true to your character in the midst of unwelcomed energy. Being a kind person rocks. And it's really one of those things that makes US feel good, too. Let us be the energy we want to attract and make people's days awesome for no other reason but just because.

Because kindness matters. And it's really that simple. 

Choose to be the kind person.

Have a great week and go make someone's day better than it was before you were in it! Because humans have superpowers, and one of our greatest is the gift of kindness.

Love y'all and thanks for tuning in!

Presley drove to the hospital 9 weeks before Leo's due date experiencing constant pain and unaware that she was actually going into labor. Little Leo was born at 31 weeks and other than an early birth, everything looked great. But around 4 months and what seemed like countless days in the NICU, they gave them the option to either take Leo off of the ventilator or to give him trach/g-tube. Listen along to Presley's journey to motherhood, experiencing premature birth, the NICU and learn all about Leo The Lion.

From doing what feels comfortable for the sake of not failing, to doing what’s uncomfortable and taking the risk to go against the grain. In today’s episode I am joined by my dear friend Adayja Kelly, who just recently went full time as a youth pastor. We dive into embracing uncomfortable situations in life and going for your dreams despite what the outer world has to say about it, as well as curating a supportive group of friends that want the best for you. We encourage you to fill your cup up and be your biggest cheerleader for every last corner of your dreams.

From living out of love instead of fear to chasing your dreams wildly and hugging them hard.

I hope you enjoy today’s episode!

From moving my sister to her first year of college to talking about if college is right for you, in today's episode we cover all of the bases. We chat about the opportunities that lie inside of college as well as the opportunities that lie outside of college. We have so many different routes we can take and finding what's right for us is always a journey within itself and is incredibly unique to you as an individual. Today we discuss the financial responsibility of going to school, the opportunity of going to a trade school and or tech school, or simply not going to school at all and pursuing another route. I sincerely hope you all enjoy this episode as well as take some insight about pursuing the journey that's right for you. 

Thank you so much for tuning in!

Faith is the evidence of things unseen, therefore sometimes faith can be hard to truly find and rest in. But what about when we know it's there, but we're not sure how to find OUR unique connection with God? Sometimes we feel as though there’s another level of it, but we’re just not sure how to reach it. In this weeks epsiode I'm touching base on finding and exploring your faith as an adult and how to find the connection that feeds your heart and soul- endlessly. Hope you enjoy!
