  • Episode 42: The Good Part About The...Cult? (Final Part 3)
    Hello everyone!  I hope your week has been amazing so far!  This week, I wanted to continue where I left off with my "mini series" about being in a "cult."  Just to preface, I wasn't actually in a cult, but it was a ministry program that had some quirky structuring to it.  Please be aware that I am in no way talking ill about it, but deconstructing the parts that were not appropriate and I'm aware that other people had different experiences from the program.  Today's episode encompasses the "good" parts about the environment that I was in when I attend the ministry program and more lessons too.  Once again, these are my own experiences, perspective, and feelings about the program and the topics that are involved in today's episode.  The takeaway for this episode is the power of community, how I found my passion, and filtering those who use God as a channel to push their own agendas, but losing the identity of Christ in their talk.  It's a long episode, but I hope you enjoy!

  • Episode 41: Live, Love, Laugh

    Hey everyone, here is a small update on what's been going on in life and why I've been a bit M.I.A.  Don't worry, we will be returning to our regular schedule program moving forward!  I got a lot of news for this week and hopefully more stuff the next episode.  Thank you for sticking with me and know I'm always in your corner!

  • Episode 40: Was I Part of A...Cult? (Part 2)

    Welcome back, everyone! This week I continued with my conversation about my ministry program and how some of the stuff was a bit...odd.  Join me for some more weird stories, some things I had to deal with as alumni, and even some other stories from people who shared their stories with me.  This is not in any way to shame the leadership or the program that I attended but to point out some of the experiences I had and how I learned to be better from those moments in time.  


    *Reminder: Don't forget that I am posting new episodes every two weeks.*

  • Episode 39: Was I Part of A...Cult?

    The age-old question...was I in a cult?  It's sort of a joke, but for three years of my life, I think sort of was.  I went to a ministry program for three years and left with a lot of friends, memories, baggage, and a bit more legalistic ways to be a "Christian."  Today, I share some of my own experiences about that program and even a few small details that probably wasn't kosher at the time when the program was running or when I was still part of that church as a whole.  So buckle in and enjoy the ride!


    Also, I will be doing a new schedule where I'll be uploading new episodes every two weeks instead of every week.  Let me know if you like the idea or think it's a bad one.  Thank you for your continual listening!

  • Episode 38: Goodbye Christianity
    I've been a Christian my whole life, whether it was Sunday school, youth group, Sunday church, or Saturday night church...you get the picture.  I feel that every day, I am learning to be a better Christian and a better human being.  I'm not perfect, but I'm trying to take the right steps to be better.  I realized that I didn't want to be a Christian or at least the Christian that I thought I had to be.  Whether it was feeling guilty because I missed church or forgot to read my Bible, there was a lot to keep up with in order to remain a "good Christian."  However, I'm learning to reassess what I've been told and trying my best to find the truth in God instead of looking proper on a Sunday.  Join me this week as I share some of my thoughts and what I'm hoping to become in the near future.

  • Episode 37: A Walk Down Memory Lane

    Memories are weird.  This past week, my friend and I broke out our old 8th-grade yearbooks.  It was a great time walking down memory lane with her.  A lot of laughs and a handful of confusing moments.  When I thought more about some different memories, I recalled a few unique ones.  I share some of those stories this week and bring some perspective to my life and yours!  I hope you enjoy this episode and guess what, my birthday is this week, so you got to listen!

  • Episode 36: Behind The 8-Ball

    Have you accomplished everything you want in life?  Maybe you feel like you should be further ahead?  How do you handle those stresses or why is it that you feel like you need to be "further" in life.  I'm still trying to figure that out.  Life continues to have more questions than answers and no matter how hard I try, more questions keep coming.  I'm not sure what your motivations are, but I unpack some of mine on today's podcast.  I'm not sure if you're in the same boat as me, but if you are, take a seat and we'll try and figure it out together.  I can't wait for you to listen to this week's episode!

  • Episode 35: The Cost of Comparison

    Do you ever compare yourself to others?  Do you compare yourself to old versions of yourself?  I catch myself doing that throughout the different seasons of my life.  This week I unpack why I do that and why maybe you do that too.  Perhaps we're taught that or get used to it because of social media.  The focus of our lives is to grow in our own path instead of trying to hop onto someone else's.  If we do, we'll get disappointed because we will never be able to fit in the mold that we wish we were in.  Let's stay in our lane and become the best version of who we need to be.

  • Episode 34: I'm (Un)healthy!

    Are you a healthy person?  I like to think that I am, but in reality, I might be lacking in some areas.  This week I talk about my current health status and how I'm trying to improve it.  I have some goals attached to being healthy too.  I believe we owe it to ourselves to be healthy and I'm not talking about the gym (this time).  Are we working at our peak performance or are we just not aware of that level?  Join me as I share my thoughts and hopes for myself and for you!
