Something has definitely changed. Lately when we talk, the whole room fades — it’s like it’s just me and my work crush. His jokes? Only for me. Those flirty comments? He doesn’t give them to any other girl. For the longest time, I questioned it. I wondered if I was imagining the tension, the looks, the little moments only we noticed.

But now… the signs are too strong to ignore. In this episode, I dive into how my work crush is finally opening up — and how this slow-burn connection might actually be turning into something real.

You know… it’s wild how people can twist things when they only know half the story. For a while, I let all that noise get to me — I started doubting what I knew, doubting what I felt. But lately, I’ve learned that you can’t believe everything you hear unless you’ve heard every side.

This episode’s about that — about how people love to come for others, to fill in blanks they were never part of. And how, even after everything went down, hope has this funny way of sneaking back in.

I didn’t expect it, honestly. I thought that door was closed. But finding peace, and maybe a little hope again… that’s probably the best early birthday gift I could’ve asked for. Sometimes life has a way of showing you what’s real when you finally stop listening to everyone else.

Everything started so unexpectedly — a spark in the middle of routine shifts, quiet jokes, shared looks, and moments that made work feel lighter. What began as friendly connection slowly grew into something deeper — unspoken but felt. I thought we understood each other, that there was trust, respect, and maybe even something more.

But then it all fell apart. The same person who once made me laugh ended up betraying me. The shift from warmth to coldness was fast, confusing, and painful. One moment I felt seen; the next, I was treated like I never mattered. It’s strange how someone can make you feel so safe and then turn around and make you question your worth.

This episode is about that — the aftermath of misplaced trust, the heartbreak that comes from something that wasn’t even official, and the lessons that come when you realize not everyone who smiles at you has good intentions. It’s about learning to protect your peace, even in spaces where you least expect the hurt to come from.

This podcast is my space to unpack the messy in-betweens of love, friendship, and faith — the longing to know who’s really meant to stay in my life and who’s only passing through. From crushes that confuse me to prayers for clarity, I share the vulnerable, unfiltered thoughts of someone trying to make sense of hearts, timing, and destiny before the year ends. It’s about holding on, letting go, and trusting that what’s written for me will never miss me

So I had this coworker crush—someone I got along with, had flirty tension with, and for a while, I thought there might be something there. We’d joke, tease, share these charged little moments that made me think, okay, maybe this could turn into a real friendship—or more.

But then came the reality check.

One day, he told me straight up—he likes to keep work and personal life separate. Basically, a polite way of saying: “We’re not friends.” It was jarring. Not because I was expecting a love confession or anything, but because the dynamic we had felt personal. Like, why go out of your way to build this kind of connection just to slam the door shut?

It stung. And when I told my friend—who already wasn’t his biggest fan—she was done. She told me flat out: “I don’t want you interacting with him anymore.” She saw it for what it was: a clear boundary from someone who played both sides until it was inconvenient.

So now I’m stuck with all these mixed signals in my head, while trying to act like we’re just coworkers, nothing more. It’s complicated, it’s awkward, and honestly, I’m still unpacking how I feel about it.

Let’s get one thing straight—I love a little fun gossip. Catch me in the breakroom for the tea, no problem. But in this episode, I’m venting about the kind of work drama that crosses the line—from coworkers who can’t mind their business to people messing with actual patient care. That’s when it stops being cute and starts being stressful. I’m talking about how all this unnecessary chaos is making my job harder and draining the vibe out of what I actually enjoy doing. Tune in if you're over the toxic energy and just trying to do your job in peace.

This weekend wasn’t just any weekend—it was the last one we’d be working together for a while. The air already felt different going in. All that unresolved tension, the history, the back-and-forth… it had built up to something. And I knew it. I felt it.

The plan? Simple: I was going to say something. Do something. Maybe finally make it clear. But of course, nothing is ever that straightforward.

Because when I saw him, he was... distant. Cold, even. Not his usual self. And yeah, I knew he was mad at me about something—though, like always, it was unspoken. Just lingering in the silence, in the space between our conversations, in the way he wouldn’t meet my eyes like he used to.

So there I was, trying to read between the lines, trying to figure out if this was just him protecting himself… or pushing me away. I kept asking myself: Is it too late? Or is this just the moment before everything shifts?

All I’ll say is—the energy changed. And what happened next? Well… let’s just say, some weekends don’t go the way you expect—but they still leave you thinking about everything that almost was.

Okay, so here’s the scene: I’m out with my cousin—she just turned thirty, and she’s going through it a bit. Feeling insecure, no relationship prospects on the horizon, and apparently spiraling. I didn’t even plan this little outing, by the way—my mom lowkey assigned me to take her out.

So we’re out, I’m trying to make the best of it, and I think we’re having real girl talk. Like, I open up about this crush I have—he’s cute, funny, and I’m brainstorming how to get him to ask for my number. It’s light, flirty, fun. Or so I thought.

Then she hits me with her idea: “You should ask your crush if he has a friend... for me.” Like... what? So basically, her plan is I do the talking, she gets a man, and I might get his number through the side door. It felt more like a setup than a strategy.

And here’s the kicker—throughout the night, she kept trying to steer the convo into this whole “we’re getting older” vibe. But here’s the thing: she’s thirty. I’m not. And honestly? I’m not scared of growing older. That’s not a fear I carry. I like who I’m becoming.

It didn’t feel like she was trying to connect—it felt like she was projecting. Like she needed me to feel what she’s feeling so she wouldn’t feel alone in it. I wasn’t offended—I just saw it clearly. I didn’t take her out to be dragged into her insecurities. I did it because my mom asked me to.

But what I walked away with was this: Just because someone’s family doesn’t mean they get to hand you their baggage. You can be kind. You can show up. But you don’t have to carry what’s not yours

In today’s episode, I’m diving into my personal work-life drama and how I shot my shot at my crush. It all started with me giving him a casual opening, just enough of a hint that it was time for him to ask for my number. I thought it was subtle enough, but instead, things got complicated. People at work started to think he was giving me special treatment, when honestly, I’m just someone who gets things done quickly.

Then, things took a more romantic turn when he did the sweetest thing to cheer me up after a rough day. It was totally unexpected and super thoughtful, but of course, it only added fuel to the gossip fire. People started to wonder what was really going on between us—when in reality, it’s just been some sweet, professional interactions... so far.

Now, the plot thickens. I’ve been taken off the weekend schedule and need to be around more during the week. This could be our last shot to see if anything actually happens. This coming weekend is my last chance to finally lock it down before everything changes.

So, with work drama and the possibility of the clock running out, I’m left wondering: Do I take the plunge and make my move, or let things fizzle out? Tune in as I talk about juggling these office dynamics, the nerves of taking a shot with a crush, and the pressure of a ticking clock. It’s all about seizing the moment... even if it might come with some drama along the way.

Hey everyone, welcome back to the pod! Today, I’m spilling the tea on something a little personal — my work crush. 😅

You know that feeling when you just know there's a spark? Well, that’s exactly what’s been going on. There’s this guy at work, and honestly, it started off as just a little crush. But lately... it’s been feeling like something more. The way we interact has shifted — there’s more eye contact, more lingering conversations, and those little moments where it almost feels like we’re the only two people in the room.

He laughs at my jokes, finds excuses to talk to me, and I catch him looking at me when he thinks I’m not paying attention. And I swear, there’s this energy — like we’re both just waiting for someone to make the next move.

Here’s the thing though: I want him to ask for my number already! I keep catching myself wondering, is he shy? Is he unsure? Or is he just playing it safe because it’s a work thing? Either way, the tension is there, and it's definitely mutual… at least, I hope so.

So I’m putting this out there into the universe: maybe he’ll take the hint soon. Or maybe I’ll gather the courage to make the first move. But until then, I’ll keep living for those little glances and hallway chats that make work just a little more exciting. 💬💘
