Glow Up, Sis.: Recent Episodes
Tatenda Nyanyira
Welcome to a safe space for the girls. Our twenties (and beyond) are undeniably a time of self-discovery, unanswered questions, and the sought of what we ultimately were created to be. Glow Up, Sister aims to bring you practical tools and resources, some let-your-hair-down girl talk, and sisterhood as you discover who you are becoming in this season.
Our goal is to go out into the world and be a light, you coming sis?
Hey sister,
We’re back with all-new episodes, and we're so excited to be with you again! Before diving into the latest topics, we're kicking things off with our Help A Sister Out segment. This is where we dive into YOUR business to offer advice, encouragement, and some real talk. Do you have a situation you'd love our input on? We wanna hear from you! Drop us an email at info@glowupsister.com. Your story could be the one we discuss next!
Last month, we took a break to focus on our amazing in-person event, Woman to Woman which was incredible! We're starting September on a high note by diving into some interesting reads. This month, we're exploring "The Power of Your Dreams" by Stephanie Ike Okafor and "Seven Days in June" by Tia Williams. Grab your copies and read along with us!
We’re also getting real about burnout—how to avoid it, how to find balance, and why it's so important to give ourselves grace. Life gets busy, and it’s easy to get caught up in the hustle. But remember, sis, taking care of yourself is essential!
So tune in, relax, and let’s grow together. And don't forget to send your questions and stories to info@glowupsister.com. We can’t wait to hear from you and continue this journey together!
Hey sister,
This week is a little laid back, as I unpack a revelation I had this week, weirdly enough, at a Jazmine Sullivan concert. In going back ever so briefly and looking in the rearview mirror, I was reminded of what God brought me out of.
What used to be a point of contention, trauma, or triggers is something I can now look back at with gratitude because it no longer affects me. This realization helps heal the younger version of myself and also treat her with gentle and soft hands. It helps to forgive her and release her from what she went through.
As we navigate this journey of self-discovery and healing, it's important to acknowledge our growth and celebrate how far we've come. This episode is all about reflecting on those past wounds with a new perspective and embracing the freedom that comes with healing.

Hey sister,
Welcome to another episode of our podcast! Today, we're delving into what it looks like to "work the wait." We're starting off with some old-fashioned girl talk, catching up on life, love, and everything in between. It's always so good to share these moments with you...
After our chat, we'll dive into the Word and explore what the Bible says about putting enmity between the woman's seed and the serpent's seed. This powerful passage provides profound insights into the struggle and triumphs we face in our waiting seasons.
We'll also be talking about the incredible Jazmine Sullivan in our case study of "working the wait." Jazmine's career is a testament to perseverance and patience. We'll discuss how she utilized her season of obscurity to hone her craft, stay true to her vision, and ultimately emerge stronger and more successful than ever.
Make sure to follow us on socials @glowupsister for more inspiration and updates. And don't forget to read the full "Work the Wait" blog on www.glowupsister.com for even deeper insights.
Stay blessed, and keep glowing up, sister!
Welcome back to another inspiring season of Glow Up, Sister! In our premiere episode of Season 2, we're diving deep into our theme for this season: The Wait.
Join us as we catch up on what’s been happening since our last episode—sharing our experiences of navigating through a weird season and the stress of job hunting. We open up about the challenges and growth we've encountered during this time away.
Our main discussion centers around embracing the wait when God has promised you something special. We explore the wisdom of Songs of Solomon 8:4 and delve into what an active wait truly looks like. How do we stay patient and faithful while actively preparing for the fulfillment of His promises?
We're excited to be back and ready to glow up with all our sisters! Tune in, get inspired, and let's navigate this season of waiting together.
Listen now and let's embrace The Wait!

Hey sister, this week, we delve deep into the power of resilience and the audacity it takes to rise from the ashes. Life has a way of throwing us curveballs, and it's during these challenging moments that our true strength emerges. In all we do, we have to remember where our help comes from. So if you feel like 2023 has been the year that's knocked you out of the race... Here's your refresh.
Hey sister, In case you didn't know, you are set apart and you're meant to be a leader. In this episode we unpack the ways in which women are to take the lead in various aspects of their lives in order to see something shift in the atmosphere.
Keep well and stay glowing until we meet again! X

Hey sister, hey curse breaker, hey chain breaker, hey cycle breaker... I'm proud of you for showing up for you and for everyone connected to you. This week we're talking about where we find the strength to have the audacity to break a cycle and go against the norm of what we've seen modelled for us. Where does our help come from? We're also taking some time to practice mindfulness and I have to give you a run down on some of the things that have been taking place in the Glow Up, Sister community. :)

Sis, this week we're throwing it back to our FIRST EPISODE of this season (that was taken down for some odd reason, but here we are). Let's remember to be gentle with ourselves and embrace the reality of a season where we allow life to happen to us with ease, and no longer romanticise long-suffering or struggle in your relationships. We're diving into the lyrics of Queen Space by Ari Lennox & Summer Walker and OWNING what it means to set boundaries, and enjoy the life that we have built for ourselves.

Hey sister, this week we’re mustering up the audacity to find peace in the broken pieces. We’re staying anchored and finding our strength while we walk through the valley and taking love wherever we can take it from. Also, we’re dissecting “Cranes In The Sky” by Solange this week and talking about what it’s sentiment and lyrics can mean for us on our glow up journey.

Hey sister,
What happens when your current season isn't looking like what you'd hoped? What happens when it feels as though the rug is pulled from beneath your feet? Today we're keeping it real and walking through honouring our vulnerability and how that allows us to show up as women. As always, we have to do a lyric dissection and I've got a WORD for you through the beautifully melodic ''Stand Still" by Mary Mary. And then, we get into our anchor scripture that'll hold us together this week.

Hey sister! Is it too late to say Happy New Year? Anyway, here we are. We got our word for the year and we're hitting the ground running. In 2023, we'll have the audacity to dream again. Audacity to hope. Audacity to be different. Audacity to heal. Audacity to grow. Audacity to serve. Audacity to shift the atmosphere. And as always, we're doing a song Lyric Dissection as we dive into Free by Destiny's Child.

hey sis, today we're taking a step to becoming the woman we want to be in 2023, and sometimes, that requires forgiving ourselves. How do we extend the same grace and kindness to ourselves that we do to everyone else? We're also having a little fun as we Dissect the Lyrics to GloRilla and Cardi B's popular song, 'Tomorrow 2'. As always, we leave a moment for reflection to the sounds of Pray for You by Jhene Aiko.

Hey sister,
I've been MIA for a few weeks and usually when that happens, I'm going through something that I'm growing through so I can come back and drop game on you. We're keeping it real today as I walk you through what I'm personally dealing with and hoping it meets you at your point of need.

Hey sister, this week I'm walking you through a process I'm currently going through. May you be encouraged while you wait on God's promise and may you wait well. We're feeding our spirit (wo)man to build ourselves up while we wait. We're dissecting Move To Rhythm by CalledOut Music, and then we're soaking up what it means to wait and know that what He's promised will come In Due Time.

Sissss, you've come just on time to collect your marching orders. This week we're deciding that no opposition, no principalities, no devil in hell will have our hearts, our minds, and standing in our athourity to crush the plan of the enemy on our lives. We're banding together as we go up against illness, negative thought patterns and any form of opposition that we currently face.
How do we get our marching orders without our battle songs? We're dissecting the lyrics to Battle Cry by Shontelle and ending by giving it to God in prayer to prepare for the week ahead to the sound of Queen Naija's War Cry.
I'm really ready to pull up on a devil and let him know wassup. Who's coming?

Hey sister, this week we are chasing sisterhood and only accepting relationships with women who build us up, water our seed, fight with us, and celebrate us. But to do so, we have to establish what has previously hurt us and made us distrust friendships and uproot it so we can heal, and welcome a healthy and solid foundation to our friendships.

sissssss, I'm still not over what took place when we met on Wednesday. I'm reliving it, unpacking it, and sharing notes and points for journalling and space to allow creativity to shape how we dress. And of course, I couldn't get into it by myself and had to enlist my good sis Harriet, once more to impart us with wisdom as she got to answer some questions that she didn't get to on the liveshow.

Hey sister friend, today we're meeting you where you are in your healing journey and asking all the important questions. How can the pain serve me? What can I take from it? Most importantly, how do I use it to set the next person free? We're taking a look at India Arie's song Get It Together in relation to our healing journey before ending with a moment of intentional stillness.
