Sharing my post-it affirmations and pockets of peace with love—hoping something lands right where you need it. YOU HAVE HOMEWORK!

What a roller coaster these past few weeks have been!
Episode 11 is a full weekend recap and a peek at the week ahead. God knew I needed a three-day weekend and a three-day work week—clearly, I’m His favorite.

This week’s sermon hit hard: disappointment is a season, not a sentence. Let go and let God. You’re not stuck. Now is real, but it’s not forever. Don’t put a period where God placed a comma. 

Give yourself grace. This week is giving soft life: journaling, walks, sleep, routines, gym time, basketball games, bestie hangs, tea before bed—we need it all.

Don’t be hard on yourself. The world’s already tough. Snap out of it and create pockets of peace with intention. Romanticize your life. Get in the sun. Ignore the internet noise.

Take care, be cute and look in the mirror and love you. Remember that you are whoever you choose to be. Don’t let nothing or nobody steal your joy. And remember, you are a bad bitch. I love you!

From a slot canyon hike to Tao dinner glam, this episode is a full-circle moment—celebrating friendship, adventure, and the kind of growth that sneaks up on you… like ending the night in a closet, asking yourself what really pours into you.

We’re talking feisty spirits, post-club revelations, and why the loudest room isn’t always the one meant for you. I’m dropping gems on self-love, self-respect, and reflecting on The Queen of Boundaries—because remembering who you are is the real glow-up.

This one’s for anyone who gives their all, then remembers to give it back to themselves.

Me and Fran are like night and day—total opposites, and that’s exactly how we’ve made it to being best friends for 14 years! 

For her 30th, we did it all: canyon hikes with Asia, Tao dinners, naps that turned into full spiritual retreats, and she got me in the club y'all!

But the real story? The rooftop convos. The kind that make you laugh so hard you forget what you were sad about. We’re talking friendship dynamics, emotional ROI, and why opposites don’t just attract—they evolve.

We made it to the weekend, and I’m taking a moment to breathe. These past two weeks have been full of lessons, of boundary-setting, of standing on business even when it was hard. I’m proud of how I showed up for myself. And as the seasons shift, I feel myself in two places: flourishing in new ways, and pruning what no longer serves me. This episode is a check-in for anyone walking that line—choosing self-love, honoring growth, and staying grounded in truth even on the hard days.

⚠️ Trigger Warning: Grief, Trauma, Depression

This episode is a deep dive into the seven stages of grief —through the lens of loss, trauma, and transformation. I’ve come a long way, and I’m sharing this in hopes it reaches someone who needs it. Grief never gets easier it just becomes less intense. And prayer? Intentionality? They’re that girl.

I kept it real, that’s my love language. Loss of life is hard. Depression is real. Trauma will change you. But healing is possible. If you’ve ever felt like the weight was too much to carry, please know: you are not alone. Help is on the way.

I love you.

It’s almost 10PM and I’m rambling—dropping gem after gem, hoping something lands with you. My best friend is coming into town, and I’m already in celebration mode. This episode feels like a voice memo you’d send to your bestie at midnight: part reflection, part hot mess, all real.

I talk about my morning routine, work-life balance, IG boundaries, and why Mrs. Kaighn still deserves her flowers. I open up about the importance of creating a clean space for a clean mind, getting lost in a good novel, and why going to the park more might be the softest form of self love.

It’s cozy, chaotic, and full of grace—because I’m God’s favorite, and maybe you are too.

One month into thirty and I’m feeling everything—gratitude, confusion, pride, and a little bit of “wait, how did I get here?” This episode is a love letter to the in-between: grown but still growing, grounded but still floating. If you’ve ever stared at your reflection and whispered “this is thirty?”—you’re not alone.

This episode is a reminder that who we are can’t be defined by someone else’s misery, projections, or curated perfection. I’m unpacking how consumption—of media, opinions, expectations—can quietly convince us to shrink, contort, or forget our truth. But becoming who we’re meant to be requires emotional intelligence, daily kindness, and radical self-love.

I share what it looks like to choose yourself with intention, to make progress without chasing perfection, and to love yourself out loud—even when the world tries to hand you a script that doesn’t fit. If you’ve ever felt like you were becoming someone else’s version of you, this episode is your invitation to return home.

Grief has taught me how to listen deeper—to my body, my spirit, and the spaces between what was and what’s becoming. In this episode, I’m honoring the sacred act of release. Not to forget, but to make room. 

Straight from the altar to the closet, I’m surrendering my grief—and I’m ready to finally receive. I share reflections from my own healing journey, the ways grief reshaped my rhythm, and how surrender opened me to receive with softness and intention. If you’re carrying heartbreak, disappointment, or the quiet ache of something unspoken, this space is for you.

This isn’t just a conversation—it’s a ceremony. Come as you are. Leave with more than you expected.

I’m back in the closet (literally), rambling and reflecting on what pushed me to start this podcast and what happens when you get sick of your own shit. I talk about doing the work on yourself for yourself, flipping the negative into something nourishing, and giving yourself grace because life is hard and healing isn’t cute.

I touch on how our minds love to play tricks, but being intentional helps. Remember, that you can always start new, and you can always start again. Affirmations are your friend. And yeah… I said a bunch of other shit too.
