so many of us carry shame about “laziness.” we think we’re procrastinators. unmotivated. unproductive.

but what if you’re not lazy at all? what if what you’re calling laziness is actually spiritual warfare?

in this episode, we’re unpacking the deeper truth behind resistance. how the enemy uses stagnancy, distraction, and discouragement to keep you from walking in your purpose. how the very things you beat yourself up for might be signs that you’re on the verge of something powerful.

you were born to change the world—but of course the enemy doesn’t want that.

i’ll also share a few ways i’ve learned to break out of this fog and realign with the divine mission over my life. if you’ve been stuck, this is your reminder: it’s not your fault. but it is your responsibility to fight back.

if you're ready to rise again and reclaim your fire, this episode is for you.

(disclaimer: the album mentioned is "moonlight in paris," not "midnight in paris"...i must have been tired when recording this *sigh*)

there is a common misconception that being productive is inherent to masculinity, but this is not true. 

many women approach productivity with a masculine mindset, but this results in burnout, difficulties, and droughts of motivation.

tapping into feminine energy is the key to effortless, joyful productivity.

this is the difference between floating down the river of life and swimming against the current of life.

here are all my tips for feminine productivity.

thank you so much for all your support.
