Y’all… this one’s a little late-night, a little unfiltered, and honestly just me sitting with the Lord and letting it flow.

We’re diving into Chapter 4 — “3 Worlds, One Tiny Town” from Unboxing Blu, and somehow I’m recording this from a hotel room on my way back to that very town in Iowa. Tell me God doesn’t have a sense of humor.

This episode isn’t polished. It’s stories, memories, a little rambling, a little laughter, and a whole lot of heart. Farm life, family, growing up between different worlds… and realizing maybe I didn’t even tell half of it the first time around.

But more than that, it’s about slowing down… sitting in the quiet… and asking God what He wants to do next. Not just in my life—but in yours too.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re still being “unboxed”… like there’s more layers, more healing, more purpose ahead… this one’s for you.

Come hang out with me for a bit. It’s imperfect, it’s real, and it’s full of grace.

Here’s the book if ya wanna grab it.

Y’all, this one is a little all over the place in the best kind of way — part scripture, part encouragement, part prayer, and fully from the heart.

In this episode of the Unboxing Podcast, I circle back to something I meant to share from the last conversation about Chapter 3 of Unboxing Blu and the “ugly duckling” story. We talk about Proverbs 31:30 — “Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised” — and why that truth matters so much when you’ve spent years feeling boxed in by insecurity, labels, fear, or other people’s opinions.

This episode is also a reminder that God is still unboxing all of us. Sometimes slowly. Sometimes gently. Sometimes right in the middle of chaos, storms, warnings, and all the noise around us. But through it all, He is faithful, He is near, and He is always calling us closer.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, limited, overwhelmed, or like you’re still figuring it all out, this episode is for you. We’re talking about identity, obedience, healing, freedom, the power of God’s Word, and learning to rest safely in the arms of the Father.

It’s real, imperfect, prayerful, and full of hope.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Proverbs 31:30 and true beauty

• Letting God unbox the places you’ve been stuck

• Why your obedience may help unlock freedom for someone else

• Finding peace in the middle of life’s storms

• The comfort, truth, and safety found in God’s Word

Come listen in, be encouraged, and maybe share this one with a friend who needs a little hope today.

I’m opening up Chapter 3 of Unboxing Blu — the chapter called “Ugly Duckling.” And let me tell you something… rereading my own words has me realizing God is still unboxing things in my heart that I barely even touched on in the book.

I share a bit about growing up as the tall, awkward, gangly girl who never quite fit in — the new kid, the tomboy with dirt under her nails, buck teeth, and more insecurities than confidence. But this isn’t really about the teasing or the pain from the past. It’s about the realization God gave me while writing this chapter:

Nothing is wasted.

Every awkward season, every lonely moment, every hurtful word — God has a way of redeeming it. Sometimes He takes us back into those memories to heal them. Other times He simply removes the sting. And somehow, in His upside-down kingdom, the overlooked and rejected pieces of our story become the very things He uses for His glory.

This episode is a little storytelling, a little laughter, a little prayer, and a whole lot of honesty as we talk about healing, grace, and how God meets us right in the middle of our mess.

If you’ve ever felt like the ugly duckling, this one’s for you.

And remember:

God wastes nothing. Not even the hardest parts of your story.

It ain’t easy to make a change but the new you need gonna take some surrender and trashing some lenses you’ve been looking at life and others through. You’re loved and it’s time to see it, feel it and act like it. Heart surgery in process and it ain’t always pretty or fun

Unboxing Blu chapter 2

Falling and getting back up. We all do it. Sometimes it’s life. Sometimes it’s dumb choices we make. Sometimes it’s pride. Let’s learn the lessons we can learn and move on wiser and stronger having experienced the thing.

Let’s be unboxed.

A little back story from chapter 1 and this past week peeling back the curtain of the healing even STILL being worked in and through me and my story. But this ain’t just for me. It’s for anyone needing freedom and healing and restoration from past trauma, sin or whatever junk been hidden, covered up or even forgotten that NEEDS healing before you can enter into the NEW thing God has God has for you to move into.

It’s big. It’s good and it’s just the tip of the iceberg. Let’s GO!!! .

Y’all this week been explosive on many levels. I want so much to simply be fully cooperative with all God is doing and wants to do through me.

Wow it’s kinda raw to share this but while I only have those 2 followers I thought Auntie and Mama could handle it. 🤪

I love growing and realizing I have so far to go. And I’m loved in my journey—as are you!

Rest isn’t weakness—it’s obedience, healing, and trust.

In this episode of The Unboxing Podcast, I unpack the box of rest and why it’s been one of the hardest unboxings of my life. From hustling, overworking, and arguing with God about slowing down, to learning what true rest looks like for the body, mind, and soul, this episode invites you to rethink what rest really means.

Through Scripture, personal stories, and real struggle, we explore why God commands rest, how Sabbath restores us, and how resting isn’t quitting—it’s recalibrating.

Inspired by my book Unboxing Blu, this episode is for anyone who feels weary, driven, overloaded, or unsure how to stop long enough to breathe.

This is your permission to lay it down—and rest in Him.

The book is out…let’s talk all the things…here’s the intro.

All about breaking free from boxes we’ve allowed ourselves to be stuck in…bustin out into brilliance ….one way or another…

I used to be bound up by trying to be liked. I was wearing chameleon skin being what I thought everyone wanted me to be. I broke free.

When other people’s opinions costs you obedience Youre walking a fine line and Youre the only one who pays the price.
