Since the age of 3 years old I have shown my personality through pageantry. From humble beginnings in St.Matthews, South Carolina competing in the Miss Black Calhoun Little Miss pageant to my 2 year reign as Ms Black Peach State International Ambassador - this “hobby” has weaved itself into my life and really defined who I am as a woman in this world. 

In 2021, I was a member of the "32 Stuck in Customs" of the MBIA Pageant that took the pageant world by storm.

Today we take down the long awaited “sticky note” of my time as the Miss Peach State contestant of the MBIA brand.

Cue the spotlight please.

Welcome to another episode of the international Balanced Boss Podcast!
This week, I’m back on the mic with one of the most-loved episodes: My Champagne Hour! 🥂

Join me as we toast to an unforgettable 2024! From completing my journey of reading the entire Bible in a year, to marking my first full year in corporate America, and celebrating one incredible year as a mom of two—what a whirlwind it’s been!

Let’s take a moment to reflect, celebrate, and savor the highs and lessons of this incredible year together. Cheers to 2024!

"Weeping may stay all night, but by morning, joy!" Psalms 30:5CEB

Let the record show, I've been in a night of season. 

2 weeks ago, I felt a little shine through the darkness and I've been running after it ever since. I needed something!

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I am immensely thankful for the support of my podcast and the listenership. I am also thankful that in a season where I would rather bury my hand in the sand and quietly walk through the valleys of God in silence, He won't let me this time. I am thankful for that. 

The spark fueled me with inspiration and I'm happy to create these episodes in full vulnerability. 

I'm not out of the night just yet, but I see the dawn and I have joy. Tomorrow is coming, and I luh tomorrow.

XOXO,

Autumn-Dawn

Baptism Episode  

S5E2: UMM, God, I’m Mad.

In today’s episode of the podcast I give a little insight into where this new burst of inspiration has come from.

My “Full Circle” moment last week was the first thing in a long time that WORKED. To quote myself from this episode, “everything I’ve touched lately goes to shit!”.

Your girl has completely felt off her game lately and taking the biggest L’s. In the spirit of vulnerability, I shared a little of what 2022 has looked like for me. As a woman of faith, I speak candidly about processing this feeling of being angry with God and feeling like I am missing his direction in my life.

I’m not out of the woods just yet, however I wanted to share this uncomfortable place for hope for myself & others. Connect with me on social and let me know if you could relate to this week’s episode. Alsoooooo, find a few affirmations and bible scriptures below.

XOXO,

Autumn-Dawn

Affirmations/Scripture for the Week

John 14:27TPT: “ I leave the gift of peace with you - my peace. Not the kind of fragile peace given by the world, but my perfect peace. Don’t yield to fear or be troubled in your hearts - instead, be courageous!

John 11:40NIV: Then Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?”

Galatians 5:1MSG: Christ has set us free to live a free life. So take your stand! Never again let anyone put a harness of slavery on you.

Romans 5:3-4NIV: Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perserverance, character; and character, hope.

Psalms 37:5TPT: Give God the right to direct your life, and as you trust him along the way, you’ll find he pulled it off perfectly.

This week’s Bible Verse: Ephesians 2:22 (CEB)

In as little as 3 months - God shifted my mind and life drastically. That wouldn’t have been possible without taking the time to silence life and focus on me and Him. 

Today, we take a breather and revisit some of the places that I had to surrender in order for God to do his will.
