🛑 Are You in the Clearance Season of Your Life?

You know… that season where things are being stripped away — relationships, jobs, routines, even beliefs that once felt permanent.

Where it feels like you’re being reduced, repositioned, maybe even overlooked.

Let me tell you — you’re not alone.

Sometimes, what looks like loss is actually alignment.

The clearance season isn’t punishment — it’s preparation.

It’s where clutter is removed so clarity can enter.

Where what no longer serves you is cleared to make space for what’s meant for you.

I’ve been there — and if you’re there now, I see you.

Trust the process. Something greater is being stocked behind the scenes.

✨ Your next season requires room. Let the clearance do its job.

Are You Chasing Something? By Tam L. 

A wise woman once told me, “Anything that’s running away from you is not for you.” That statement hit differently the more life happened to me. It’s easy to romanticize the chase—whether it’s money, love, career success, or validation. But let’s pause for a second: How many of us are out here chasing something that’s clearly running away?

Think about that.

We run full speed toward things we believe will make us whole. But sometimes, we’re sprinting in the wrong direction—toward illusions, not answers. It’s easy to get caught up in the image of the life we want: the corner office, the perfect relationship, the big house, the applause. But rarely do we stop to ask ourselves: Why do I want this? Who told me I needed this to be enough?

Recently, I experienced a deeply painful moment that shook me to my core. In the aftermath, I did something I hadn’t done in a while—I sat with myself. Not the curated version of me that shows up for others, but the real me. I had an unapologetic self-talk. I peeled back layers of assumptions and delusions and asked hard questions.

And what I found was this: I had been chasing a figment of my imagination—an illusion crafted by fear, insecurity, and a desperate need to feel "arrived." I had bought into untruths that told me if I just got the job, or the relationship, or the recognition, I’d be complete. But the truth is, none of those things could patch what I hadn’t yet confronted in myself.

So I started asking different questions:

• Do I really need that career—or do I just want the identity it gives me?
• Do I truly know the people I long to be in relationship with?
• Do they even have the same desire or capacity to know me?

It’s in those raw, honest moments that your life begins to shift. Because knowing that the decisions you make today will determine your tomorrow isn’t just a pretty quote—it’s truth.

Let me be clear: I’ve learned this the hard way. I’ve chased what wasn’t for me. I’ve invested in what couldn’t pour back. I’ve given energy to things that only drained me. And it left me asking why I ever thought the chase would end in fulfillment.

Now, I protect my peace like it’s sacred—because it is. I examine situations and people not based on what they present, but on whether they are assets to my purpose or liabilities to my growth. I lean into discernment, not desperation. And I allow God to show me the truth about people, even when it hurts—because it’s better to know than to stay blind.

I don’t know what makes us want what we don’t need. Maybe it’s conditioning. Maybe it’s loneliness. Maybe it’s ego. But I do know this: We are uniquely designed to recognize when something doesn’t want us. And if it doesn’t want you, you don’t need it.

Let that sink in.

So the next time you find yourself chasing—pause. Look at what you’re running after. Ask yourself if it’s truly m

Amidst the ongoing debate about student loan debt, the current administration is actively pursuing the repayment of outstanding balances, a move impacting some Trump voters who may have anticipated different economic policies. This intensified collection, utilizing the Department of Education, follows the rejection of broader forgiveness plans and employs tactics like wage garnishment. The situation presents a dilemma for working-class Trump supporters, many of whom attended for-profit or trade schools and now face aggressive debt retrieval, contrasting with the promised government restraint. This aggressive approach raises questions about fiscal responsibility versus the burden on struggling citizens, with limited conservative backlash thus far. Ultimately, this situation highlights the politicization of debt and the reality that government collection efforts can affect voters across the political spectrum.

Contemporary public relations extends beyond securing media coverage. It requires a comprehensive understanding of all relevant "publics" or stakeholders that impact a brand's success. Strategic positioning is crucial for building authority and tailoring messages to resonate with diverse audiences, including consumers, businesses, and government entities. This targeted approach aims to drive business results and provide a positive return on investment, emphasizing that effective PR involves building relationships and understanding where opportunities for growth truly lie, making it distinct from traditional marketing efforts.

Wake Your Ask Up podcast's producer Tam Lawrence emphasizes proactive financial planning to navigate inevitable "dark moments" or financial challenges. The text underscores that these difficulties affect everyone, but those with fewer resources face greater obstacles in securing support. Lawrence argues that individuals often fail to adequately prepare for unexpected events like job loss or medical emergencies. To counter this, the source identifies common financial mistakes, such as lacking an emergency fund and overrelying on credit. It advocates for building multiple safety nets through savings, insurance, diversified income, and mindful spending. Ultimately, the piece promotes the creation of a strategic "dark moment" plan to foster financial resilience and the ability to not just endure but thrive during difficult times.

Dear Incredible Listener, 

It is an honor to serve and bring you journalism that is fact-checked. This story was waiting in the wings, titled “Diversity Equity Inclusion Corporate Rowed Back,” and it explores why so many companies abandoned their D.E.I. initiatives. The fear of the executive order signed by Donald Trump made it unlawful for companies to implement D.E.I. programs. Understandably, this development has caused widespread upset among consumers, corporate professionals, and others. However, in this podcast episode, I believe you will gain insights into how a 60-year-old civil rights constitutional condition has been reversed.

In addition, as people took to the internet to express their anger and urge consumers to boycott retailers that participated in abandoning the D.E.I. initiative, it is evident that the leaders who promoted and advocated for this decision did not review this page on the White House’s website: https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/ending-illegal-discrimination-and-restoring-merit-based-opportunity/. 

To address conscious consumers, it’s crucial to shed light on the stance of corporations that reverse their D.E.I. initiatives. However, it’s important to note that not all corporations have bowed to the Executive Order signed by Donald Trump. Nevertheless, the significance of such crucial programs warrants explanation, and companies that remain silent on this matter are making a poor public relations choice.

The podcast episode provides sources analyze the impact of President Trump's 2025 executive order targeting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs.

Corporations are portrayed as rapidly dismantling their DEI initiatives due to fears of legal repercussions and financial losses, despite potential moral implications.

The fallout from this order includes concerns about the reversal of civil rights progress and the potential for increased inequality.

A planned consumer boycott, "Blackout Shopping Day," is seen as ineffective in addressing the systemic issues at play.

The story presents two contrasting paths to success through the characters Eli and Sam. Eli initially finds fulfillment in corporate advancement, while Sam pursues entrepreneurial ventures. However, external forces undermine Eli's corporate success, revealing its dependence on unstable structures. Sam's independent creation of tables symbolizes resilience and purpose, demonstrating a different kind of fulfillment. The story underscores the importance of self-belief and building one's own path rather than relying on external validation. Ultimately, it argues that true success lies in pursuing one's vision and creating a lasting legacy.

Title: "Why Companies Abandoned Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Programs Under Trump’s Executive Order"

In the first week of President Donald Trump’s return to power in January 2025, a seismic shift rocked corporate America. Companies across the nation began dismantling their Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs, following the signing of an executive order on January 25 that targeted these initiatives. This move, part of the broader Project 2025 agenda, signaled a dramatic reversal of decades-long efforts to promote fairness and equality in workplaces and communities. But why did corporations so quickly abandon these programs, and what does this mean for the future of civil rights and corporate responsibility in America?

The Executive Order: A Blow to DEI Programs

President Trump’s executive order declared that DEI programs—often designed to address systemic inequalities and provide opportunities for marginalized groups—were “illegal” and “unfair.” The order argued that these programs violated longstanding civil rights laws by prioritizing race and gender over merit and individual achievement.

For corporations, this created a dilemma: comply with the new order and dismantle DEI initiatives, or risk being labeled as “unfavorable” and face potential legal or financial consequences. Many companies chose the former, quickly distancing themselves from DEI programs to protect their interests.

Why Did Companies Bail on DEI?

1. Fear of Retaliation: Corporations feared backlash from the Trump administration, including lawsuits, fines, or loss of government contracts.
2. Pressure to Conform: With Project 2025 signaling a hardline stance against DEI, companies felt compelled to align with the new political climate to avoid being targeted.
3. Protecting Profits: For some, DEI programs were seen as expendable in the face of potential financial losses or reputational damage.

However, this rush to comply wit

The message is clear: "Get your affairs in order." These words, spoken by Lawrence, resonate deeply as we witness the darkening happenings in America—rumors of wars, political division, and the unsettling consequences of flawed leadership. It’s a stark reminder that human decisions, driven by greed and incompetence, often fail humanity. But there is hope, and it begins with us.

Lawrence’s profound statement cuts to the heart of the matter: "It is at the hearts of humankind that will determine the future for generations to come." This isn’t just about social media posts or fleeting trends. It’s about confronting the untreated trauma that plagues our nation and recognizing the falsehoods that have divided us for far too long.

Fear, depression, and uncertainty are real, but so is the power of unity and faith. As Jeremiah 28 reminds us, "I know the plans I have for you," says God. These plans are not rooted in the chaos of human greed or the idolatry of wealth and power. They are rooted in love, justice, and the collective well-being of all people—regardless of color, sex, or religion.

The current state of leadership, as seen in the actions of figures like Trump and Vance, is a stark reminder of the age-old truth: "A fool and his riches will divide." For centuries, humanity has suffered under the weight of greed, conquest, and the exploitation of Earth’s resources. But it doesn’t have to be this way.

Lawrence challenges us to look beyond the shackles of division and recognize that true healing begins when we commit to coming together. It’s time to govern our own affairs—not through the lens of political parties or idolized currencies, but through the shared understanding that we are all connected.

When we unite, we create the life we deserve and desire here on Earth. This is not just a dream; it’s a call to action. Let’s move beyond fear and division. Let’s heal, rebuild, and create a future that reflects the love and unity we were meant to share.

The time is now. Get your affairs in order.
