How do you navigate the holidays when grief is a close companion? If you’ve experienced a significant loss, then you know what it’s like for the holiday season to feel more like a sorrowful time of year than a wonderful one. 

 This episode of The Sister Circle Podcast is a special one. I share my grief journey and how I’ve navigated the holiday season without my mother, my very own Mrs. Claus. 

My friend, if you’re coping with a loss this holiday season, know that you will smile again. Just hold on.

Connecting with God through Scripture is how intimacy is formed. Much like learning about a loved one through intentional time and attention, you learn more about the character of God through time spent in His word. The thing is, even in knowing this, studying Scripture can still feel like an impossible task.

Tara-Leigh Cobble joins me on this episode of The Sister Circle Podcast. She is a speaker and teacher who has helped millions access and understand the Bible through The Bible Recap Podcast. 

I know this conversation will encourage you to engage with Scripture, even when life dares to get in the way.

Are you tired of putting on your superwoman cape for everyone and everything? As a woman, I can certainly identify with feeling overrun and overworked. And specifically, as a Black woman, the pressure to constantly be strong can feel downright debilitating.

My friend Dr. Sarita Lyons recently joined me for a real sister-to-sister conversation about her new book, Church Girl: A Gospel Vision to Encourage and Challenge Black Christian Women, and the intersection of race and faith. 

Whether you’re a Black woman searching for her identity in Christian spaces or someone far removed from the Black experience, this conversation will encourage you to not only show up better but to serve and love your sisters in faith better too

That’s exactly when we need a spiritual joy bomb like Oneka McClellan to remind us that, regardless of our circumstances, we are daughters of THE King. 

We are chosen, we are loved, and we are appointed for greatness! 

Oneka McClellan is a writer, author, speaker, wife, and mother who also pastors Shoreline City Church alongside her husband, Earl.

In a world where we’re bombarded with endless productivity hacks and the pressure to achieve greatness, finding balance can feel like an uphill battle. We’re told that success is about checking off endless to-do lists and constantly hustling toward our goals. But this relentless pursuit of “doing more” can leave us feeling drained, anxious, and disconnected from what truly matters.

What if we could redefine productivity to align with our season of life? In this episode, I reconnected with Kendra Adachi, the brilliant mind behind the Lazy Genius approach. Kendra and I dive into her new book, The PLAN: Manage Your Time Like a Lazy Genius.

Kendra invites us to rethink our relationship with planning and productivity. She teaches us that true productivity is not merely about the tools we use or the systems we implement; it’s about cultivating a mindset that aligns with our values and dreams.

If you’re ready to break free from the hustle and find peace in the present moment, then you definitely want to tune into this episode!

Sometimes, I look at the women in my life, and I can see it all in their eyes. The anxiety, the fear, and the worry are evident without them saying a word. We girls often carry the weight of the world on our shoulders and the worry that comes with it.

Through my own uncertainties and unknowns, I’ve learned how to cast my cares on the Lord. My friend, allow me to help you do the same. If you listen until the end, you’ll find a special prayer just for you.
