  • Respectfully Unhinged: Then My Phone Rang

    But we’re picking the story back up exactly where we left off…


    I walked out of that unit, sat in my car, and completely broke down. The silence after leaving was louder than anything I had experienced. I had questions, I had emotions, and I had no idea if I would ever hear from him again.


    Until the plot twists started coming.


    A message from his mom. A conversation with someone from his past. Information I didn’t know. Red flags I probably should have seen. And then, three weeks later, one message changed everything.


    Because sometimes you think a story has ended… until your phone rings.


    Welcome back to Respectfully Unhinged.

  • Midweek Update: Rerouting

    In this week’s midweek update, we’re talking about rerouting, those unexpected moments when life takes a turn, your plans change, and you realize maybe the detour wasn’t a setback… it was the direction you were supposed to go all along.


    I had a whole different conversation planned, but God had other plans. And honestly? Looking back, I know it wasn’t a coincidence.


    This episode is about trusting the redirections, laughing at the chaos, letting go of what we thought was supposed to happen, and remembering that sometimes the biggest growth comes from the moments we never saw coming.


    So grab your coffee, your emotional support beverage, and let’s get respectfully unhinged about the twists, turns, and reroutes life throws our way

  • Respectfully Unhinged: The Set Up

    Last week, I left y’all outside the captain’s office… and this week, we’re finally walking in.


    What I thought was the end of the story turned out to be the beginning of something much bigger. In this episode, I’m unpacking what happened after that meeting, the unexpected conversations that followed, and the lessons I never saw coming.


    This isn’t just another prison story. It’s about assumptions, accountability, the people who quietly changed my perspective, and how one experience completely shifted the way I see the system.


    Sometimes the biggest plot twists aren’t the ones you expect they’re the ones that change you.

  • Respectfully Submitted: Mom, we need to talk.

    My 16-year-old officially took over the mic, and we covered a little bit of everything! From what it’s like having me as a mom to Love Island, Baddies, growing up, her experience coming out as gay, and plenty of laughs along the way, this is one of our most real and unfiltered conversations yet. Grab a drink and come hang out with us!

  • Midweek Update: Fatherless Behavior

    This episode is proof that common sense leaves the chat and chaos takes this wheel. This is 100% unbelievable! We’re talking ignoring red flags, questionable decisions, and a thought process I don’t understand.


    My judges robe is on today!

  • Respectfully Unhinged: Code Is Code

    I’m back after a much-needed reset, and we’re jumping right back into the chaos.


    The letter has been passed… Cash became the messenger… and now the ball is in his court.


    A trip to Dallas unlocks a new character, old drama explodes, and suddenly I find myself caught in the middle of a situation I didn’t create.


    A call to the unit, a trip to the Captain’s office, and the feeling that maybe… just maybe… I’m being watched.


    The letter was only the beginning. 👀


    Stick with me…

  • Respectfully Submitted: A Few Weeks Of Perspective

    After a few weeks away, I’m back!


    This episode is a little different. I’m talking about taking a step back, spending time with God, navigating another loss, finding gratitude in hard seasons, and being reminded that life is truly a vapor.


    A little reflection, perspective, and a teaser for Friday’s episode where we finally pick up where the prison story left off.

  • Respectfully Submitted: When The Audience Talks Back

    This week’s Respectfully Submitted takes a different turn.


    One message came through that wasn’t anonymous. No guessing. No hiding. No distance really. Just intention.


    I told you all I know who it is, and I do. But what matters more is what happens when the listener stops being in just the audience?


    This isn’t just a letter, it might be a shift. Let’s get into it.

  • Episode 4: The Letter I Shouldn’t Have Written.

    I read the letter. Then read it again. And again.


    In this episode we’re talking about the letter that stayed on my mind and the moment I finally picked up a pen. PLUS, you’ll meet Cash- the one who noticed way more than he should have and somehow became the messenger in a story that was starting to get very real.


    📫 One letter.

    💀 Several questionable decisions.

    🤦🏻‍♀️ 0 common sense.
