The Sister Circle Podcast

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

Let’s be real. Life can be rough. Along the way, many of us balance our daily responsibilities along with our battles with insecurity, doubt, and the weight of the world’s expectations. Sometimes the challenges we face combined with our perceived shortcomings can make us feel less than worthy. 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 this episode, Oneka joins me on the couch to share insights from her book, Born Royal: Overcoming Insecurity to Become the Woman God Says You Are. Oneka’s message is timeless, and her energy is infectious. She brings a clear word for the women of God: It’s time to walk boldly in the identity God has given you.

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.

And I want that for you too. When you are willing to get to the root of painful experiences, you can let go of bitterness to become a better you.

On this special episode of The Sister Circle Podcast, I sat in the hot seat while Priscilla interviewed me. She’s my personal cheerleader, and even though the achiever in me wanted to move on to prepping for the next episode, our conversation encouraged me to slow down and reflect on my journey to 500 episodes.

You all have witnessed my journey as an author, speaker, and podcaster and championed my efforts to show up as a real woman of faith. I’m excited to say that this is only the beginning.
