Yeah, we're going there. 

As millennial women are getting comfortable adulting, it's evident they're spending more intentional time healing, growing, and confronting ugly truths about themselves in order to be a better. And for most women, daddy issues is one of them. 

Miss Jaye dives into the psychology of daddy issues, talks about her own struggles with them, and shares a few tips to really overcoming them. 

Tips for Confronting Daddy Issues:

1. Give your dad some grace

2. Be 100% honest about how your daddy issues have affected you, forgive yourself for that

3. Start somewhere

Homework: Start your journey. Start today. Start somewhere.

Let's be honest, we want everything when we want it, how we want it, and from who we want it to. But sorry friend, that's not how God works. Sooo relax, take a number, He's got this all under control even when it feels like your world is burning. 

Miss Jaye keeps it real about her own struggles with waiting on God as she recently lost what felt like everything and has been in a season of REAL faith. In this episode she offers tips and advice on HOW to wait while you're waiting. 

Homework: Spend some time asking God what it is you need to be doing in this season.

In the spirit of goal-setting, celebrating a decade, and vision boards, Miss Jaye uses the final episode of season 1 to discuss how we have to talk about our goals AND be about our goals if we want to manifest success and happiness in our lives.
