Hey family! With all that’s going on with social media, God had me create a channel over on WhatsApp. Join the channel for FREE! You’ll receive encouragement, wisdom and scripture breakdowns via the app.

This prayer call was near and dear to my heart because I know many mothers who hold in their pain. I pray it blesses you. Share it with your mom if you feel led. Remember, our parents are human, not heroes!

Week 2 of our prayer month is here. This prayer call is on the topic of prayer. There was a lot of warfare while recording this, so please forgive any background noise you may hear. Enjoy! Feel free to share, but encourage people to subscribe.

If there’s one thing we notice in January, in addition to everyone setting weight loss goals, it's the ambition to fast and pray. For this month, I wanted to include some of the magazine articles in our Monday blog, Faith Fit, which you receive weekly. But God placed it on my heart to release Girls Anthem prayer calls each week to encourage you in your prayer life.

Believe it or not, many believers struggle to pray consistently. With January being a month when people join some kind of fast, I wanted to encourage you to build a successful prayer life. It doesn’t matter if you turn down your plate for 21 days if your prayer life isn’t flourishing.

Over the next eight weeks, you’ll gain access to the prayer call I ran back in April 2024. For four months, I gathered with women and prayed every Sunday. If you purchased the PDF or print copy of the holiday issue, you would’ve received a link to a prayer bundle that included all the prayers.

Now, everyone will have access to those prayers, although I encourage you to purchase the issue. The prayer in this article is on Forgiveness. Each prayer includes me teaching on the topic before praying, so be sure to grab your journals.

I also want to make a special announcement. Starting in March, Girls Anthem Magazine will offer paid subscriptions. While the Faith Fit section, the Monday articles, will continue to be free, the other sections (Health Hits, Soul Entertainment, Business Blueprint, and a new section, Kay’s Korner), will cost. Our subscription model is as follows:

$9.99/month for all the sections (including, exclusive visual/audio interviews and our Girls Anthem Roundtable)

I know times are challenging, but I encourage you to ask God where to invest your subscriptions this season. I canceled Netflix in one season of my life to subscribe to Woman Evolve TV. If I can spend $10-15/month on entertainment, I can invest in my spirit. This is in no way meant to be a guilt trip, just a nudge for you to take inventory.

Here’s an overview of what each section entails. You can also listen or read the current articles under those sections for a taste of what you’ll get. Remember, this goes into effect on March 1, 2025.

* Faith Fit (The Voice of Encouragement) - the official, free weekly newsletter

* Health Hits - Health and wellness from a biblical perspective

* Soul Entertainment - Focuses on faith-based entertainment, including books, movies, and television shows that glorify God. We will also feature women of faith in entertainment.

* Business Blueprint - For women serious about their business, whether family business or finances, the business and finance section of Girls Anthem Magazine features articles and interviews on home and family management, banking, real estate, entrepreneurship, stewardship, and investing.

* Kay’s Korner - Coming in March, this section is where Mya Kay will share personal essays, blog posts, and exclusive celebrity interviews. This space will include written, audio, and visual entertainment. Girls Anthem Roundtable will also be included in this section. Our roundtable features discussions with other women of faith and will give the experience of being a part of an inner circle or VIP experience at a conference.

Remember, print and PDF copies will still be available for purchase. If you find that a monthly subscription is too much right now, the articles will be in the print version of the magazine (all except the roundtable and Kay’s Korner).

PDF Magazine: $5.99

Print Magazine: $12.99

PS Please excuse the audio files still being labeled as The Girl Files. When I first started on this platform, I had a podcast called The Girl FIles. I’m still speaking with the tech team to fix this issue so that there’s no confusion with the branding. Bear with us as we navigate this new terrain.

Hey Girls Anthem,

It’s HERE! Our first full issue for Girls Anthem magazine. First, I felt led to put a spin on “Home for The Holidays” for our feature story for our Holiday and Beyond issue. When we think of going “home” for the holidays, we often picture people traveling to visit family in other cities or states. However, many of us are experiencing another holiday without those we loved deeply.

I asked two friends to join me in a virtual panel discussion on grief and its many forms. Here are some of the things we discussed:

* Our current grief strategies (how we deal with grief when it bum-rushes us)

* Grieving what we thought would be

* City grief (how to deal with coming from/living in communities where a principality of murder resides)

* How to manage your grief and put up boundaries when you’re the “strong friend”

* How to manage grief as a mom (Erica and Paige are both boy moms)

* Friendship grief (the difference between the relationship having to come to a permanent end vs. when God separates it for a season to purify it, etc.)

* and more!

Tune in and grab your notebooks. The last two articles in our “When Fruit Speaks” series will be published on the website on December 23rd and 29th. If you enjoy our holiday issue, share it with family and friends. Please encourage them to subscribe to Girls Anthem magazine. If you want to share how this discussion blessed you, comment below!

Remember, our PDF and Print versions include a few extras including:

* Editor’s Letter

* “A Few of Our Favorite Things” section (highlights music, books, and entertainment for the soul)

* A free, surprise holiday gift bundle!

This video popped up as an “On This Day” throwback via TikTok. It’s from two years ago and I felt led to send it to my subscribers here. I believe it will bless you, especially as the year comes to a close.

Thanks for reading Girls Anthem! This post is public so feel free to share it.

I sat down with my girl Reagan Gomez-Preston to discuss her time in Hollywood and how she feels about the current state of family shows, how she balances being a wife, mother and artist; and what advice she would give to content creators. We also discuss the #MeToo movement and she gives her advice to up and coming female actresses.

In the season two finale episode, our host had some things to say about friendships. With all the women who have talked to her about friendships, she figured it was time to say how she really feels about the whole perception that "I'm busy and life happens" mentality that so many have adopted as an excuse not to be there for their friends.
