Welcome Back…

Happy Valentine’s Day y’all! I hope today is filled with all your favorite things…in the meantime, here’s a quick episode about why I want a partner over a husband and why our shared goals are more important than the roles we’re supposed to be playing. #Transparency #DoItScared #RealRelationshipGoals

Listen, in the year of 2023 I want ya'll to release friendships with people who don't even LIKE you! The ones where you're the only one calling, supporting and doing all the listening. The ones where you're being laughed at rather than laughed with, the ones where the other person's schedule is always full when you need some of their time. Forget that whole "no new friends" mantra and find you some people who want to love on you, who appreciate being in reciprocal relationships with people they like, can grow with and learn from. #FindYourPeople #DropDeadWeight #DoItScared 

It can be hard to clap for someone who’s seemingly living the life you wanted and reaping the harvest you prayed for. It’s like, why them and not me!? Know that your season is on the way and clapping for others doesn’t delay your time. Clap anyway.

First, Merry Christmas and happy start to the New Year!! We made it through 365 whole days and while some of em’ were touch and go, WE MADE IT!! If no one else says it, I am proud of us! Now we have the opportunity to reset our mind, repurpose our energy and choose our direction for the next 365. Episode 3 touches on that a bit, encouraging you to write your goals, reconnect with your heart and be intentional. I also discover (yes, while recording lol) my word for 2023. Lastly, I share the importance of being your own cheerleader and clapping for yourself, first, a lesson I’m still learning…enjoy!

I’m all in my feels from watching Harry & Meghan on Netflix and wanna talk to y’all about love and the hopeful manifestation of my forever love. Oh and I got ghosted y’all!! Anyway, tune in and laugh with me a bit.

After 6+ months of internal battling and external silence, we're back for season 4! I have missed you SO much...like you have no idea lol. This episode sheds some light on the last few months and offers insight on what's coming up this season. I am so excited to continue this journey with ya'll and can't wait to hear all the ways you've been doing it scared!

I am still figuring out content for our actual season and it's taking a while because my personal season is on FIRE! I continue to seek God for understanding and while He hasn't unveiled it in a way I can understand, one thing I know for sure is that this journey is meant to be shared. I have stood on the hill of transparency since I started Yea, But Are You Listening??? but this is easily the most transparent and vulnerable I have EVER been. It is not easy to discuss your innermost personal battles with the world but I believe someone's life may be saved from knowing they are not alone. I say it in the episode and I'll say it again here, GET HELP IF YOU NEED IT! You do not have to battle this life alone and there is power in therapy and there are meds to help with balance. GET HELP! If you are thinking about suicide, please reach out to the national suicide hotline at 800-273-8255 via call or text. Often people ask, why didn't they "just" ask for help and I'm here to tell you that for a multitude of reasons, it's never that easy. If you can't relate to this episode, great,  but you never know who can so be kind anyway....

Hey y’all! Check out this teaser for Season 4 (can y’all even believe we’ve made it through 3 whole seasons?!?). We have so much to talk about…my goodness. Is there anything you want to make sure makes the list?? Let me know!

While thanksgiving means many things for many people, for me it is about celebrating my family with amazing food, and endless laughter. It is also about being intentionally grateful for all things - good or bad. In this season, I encourage you to have an attitude of gratitude in expectation of the next phase of your life. No matter the circumstance, we are blessed beyond measure!

We are exactly 51 days from the new year and ya girl is ti-red!! Between doing it scared, parenting, killing the new job and being across the country from everything familiar, my anxiety has been through the roof lately. Last week, I had my first panic attack ever...on an airplane (insert complete freak out!!). As I sat on the airplane floor, sweating, with my pants soaked in leaking refrigerator water, praying and crying, I kept reminding myself to "just breathe." Breathe through the mask that was sticking to my face, breathe through my accelerated heartrate, breathe through the cool air  blowing directly into my face (shoutout to the flight attendants). Looking back, my ability to "just breathe" through the terror is what got me through it and today I want to encourage you to do the same. Whatever you're facing, whatever is commanding your attention, whatever has you feeling like you might not make it...stop for a minute and just breathe. Don't focus on what's next or what was last, focus on the very minute you're in and just breathe through it. Give yourself some grace. Nothing lasts forever - bad OR good - so just give yourself some space to breathe and take in all that's good in the moment, even if you aren't sure what that is! Love ya'll, mean it.
