Welcome back beautiful people! I‘m your host, Cydney Maria.
The Journey Through podcast explores the middle ground, the in-between, the unspoken – the journey through of the uncertainties and questions that float around as many of us enter our ever-changing stages of womanhood. With just enough room for your momma, cousin and homegirls too, we‘re sure that you‘ll find community in our voices with a good word to hold on to.
Tune in a listen with us as we create a dialogue for the unheard and space for the unseen.
This is the Journey Through.
*Trigger Warning: This episode discusses themes of grief and loss.
Listen, I love the holiday season just as much as the next person, but it's easy to feel emotionally unprepared if the through of grief and loss are more susceptible to you.
It's okay friend, we get it. We've been there and we're still processing the good, the bad and the down right ugly. So much so, that Cyd is telling you a little piece of her story. Just know that in the end, it gets better.

Get your tea ready, this episode is going to be good! Another cup of encouragement for the girls (and guys).
Real talk, sometimes we don't see our trauma's as a triumph, but I promise you, God will use it all if you loosen the grip. As you tune in on our side of the podcast world, we hope this blesses you, lifts you up and serves as a reminder that you are not alone.

One percent everyday builds to a better version of you - so yes, you are allowed to change at ANY given moment. You don't need a huge announcement to do it either!
ICYMI, you are allowed to change your mind, life and anything else that you decide needs a little extra TLC. To do what's best for you and to make better decisions for you. Boss up on your own behalf and not for the applause.

Spectators, haters, behind the phoners - whoever it may be, it's just extra noise.
Don't fall for the distractions from their unsolicited feedback and unhappiness.
At the end of the day, we'll all face the fact that EVERYBODY has an opinion and everybody just wants to be heard, even if they think they're helping.
Tune in to hear how I'm working through this socially and professionally all while remembering who sits at the head of my life.
We got this sis!

Finally! We're back and rounding off how to keep your 'best kept secret' intentional, sacred and close to your heart. I know you love your momma, cousin and friends, but sometimes we have to keep quiet...just for a little while.
This is the moment in the middle that is a lot less easy and a lot more purposeful. Tune in!

The day that God grants me access to the vision is not the day I tell the story.
Whewwww, how many of us get so excited that we're just ready to tell it all?! Not yet friend, not yet. Let it cook a little longer.
Enjoy this snippet because the full episode is coming full force and we are NOT holding back.

No one ever said that change would be easy, but sis, we encourage you to stay the course. Going after what is yours can get exhausting, but there's a difference in facts and feelings.
Tune in as Cyd talks about why Myleik Teele was brought to Atlanta and how a small glimpse into her story can give you the push you need to keep going even if you don't know where your feet will land.

Sis, this is not the usual setup we know, but we HAVE to talk and we need you to hear it now. All of the extra audio editings had to wait! Five minutes with you in mind.
Just know, we see you, friend.
Encourage yourself with us: IG @thejourneythroughpod & FB The Journey Through Podcast.
See ya there!
Adulting, faith, and trying your best. Who else can relate?
It's already hard enough trying to survive in these very strange times, but throw a faith curveball into the mix, and that's a recipe to knock anyone off their game. cues Mr. Krabs gif (you know the one.)
Take a break to relate friends, this is going to be a good one.
Who do you love? Self-love is all but important, especially for those of us who are givers by nature.
To be unbought, unbossed, and unbothered are paved with very real decisions of both bravery and courage. So check the pseudo fearlessness at the door, we aren't at that level yet and we aren't going to let the idea of fake fearlessness consume us.
Turn up the volume and tune in.

You're not getting the whole story if your're not in the room where it happens.
Listen...
Peer pressure, blind faith, and the overall upset that happens when we intercept what God is trying to bring us into. Can anyone else relate?
We can, and it's WILD out here. Be encouraged today and tune into the gems that are being dropped.
Follow us! @thejourneythroughpod on IG and The Journey Through Pod on FB. See ya!
Change, boundaries, and reconciling faith. It's not easy sis and it surely isn't for the faint of heart. Especially for Black women and girls.
It's an everyday decision that's totally up to you. Today, I'm sharing my current experiences and how hope is holding me on this journey...because we are all deserving of space to choose us.

See what happened was...we fell off, and sometimes falling off produces changes that you didn't exactly see coming. A pivot if you will and like most of us, we didn't see this coming. Listen in to hear what's changed, what's been happening, and where we're headed.
It's going to be a good ride..we promise.

We backkk and season two has so much in store, including a few updates. But, all of that jazz can wait.
Who do you think you are?! "Becoming" is quite possibly the HARDEST change in life to adapt to (seriously, Michelle, you do it flawlessly our forever First Lady). The question is valid nonetheless, and you aren't alone on this trip.
Take a listen to hear what you can expect in season two.
No one has the answers. Not everyone is okay and some people are. Own your moment. Process it. Today, we called on some of our good sister friends to lean in and release.
Journey with us.
In this episode, we're talking all about "hateration" (word to Mary J. Blige). Yeah, we said it because we've been there and you have too. It's totally possible to root for others because it doesn't take away from who you are. Can you relate? Listen up!
