29 years of living and I only recently had the epiphany that the way I define "love" counteracts God's definition of "agape" love and what that truly looks like. I believe as life goes on, we all have varying seasons of what Spirit wants us to focus on. In my current season, God has me focusing on my soon to be marriage, attending pre marital counseling and learning what a God centered, God focused relationship should be.
In telling my pastor that I am doing my best to "check off the boxes" Raiem has regarding certain expectations and desires for a wife; he turned to me and said my definition of love seemed "transactional". I then realized that this is how I learned to navigate my walk with God as well. I learned that love had to be earned not freely given. I believed that my actions and obedience gained me God's love. I felt so unworthy of God's kindness and grace towards me, that all my life I subconsciously used my abilities and efforts to feel worthy.
Today and all my days moving forward, I am deciding to accept God's agape love for me and to show the same kind of unconditional love and respect to my fiance. Tune in to hear me breakdown how God defines his perfect love, and how we must actively go against what culture says dating should be.

As summer slowly approaches its end, tune into this episode of Her Authentic Self Podcast as I uncover the spiritual messages God has been showing me.
The first is that there is purpose in isolation. Often times Spirit must get us alone, removed from distractions in order for us to hear Gods voice more clearly. The second is that many of us need to stop idolizing pleasure, myself included.
I am not always going to feel good all the time; but there is something to be said about sitting with God in discomfort. Something powerful happens when we choose to trust God, build up our faith and move as though he is our comfort, he is our refuge; not ourselves and not temporary satisfaction and pleasure.
God loves all his children and the hope is that we learn the messages he has for us so that we don't repeat the same pain and struggle over and over again. Listen as I share personal examples of how God used pain and struggle to build my spiritual identity in Christ.

Welcome back to Her Authentic Self Podcast Season 4. This episode is directed to those in covenant relationships and those who desire covenant relationship. It is a deep dive into my personal experience with my Fiance as well as our pre-marital counseling journey and the lessons we are leaning from God about what it means to treat your spouse the way Spirit truly intends.
Currently we are reading "Love and Respect" by Dr. Emerson Eggerichs. His writing is full of biblical perspective as well as first hand accounts from other couples he counsels and through intentional reading and the written workbook practices we do as a couple, I have learned:
-We should treat covenant relationship as Kingdom responsibilities, not as entities that will always meet our needs
-It is crucial that we seek God for counsel and not lean on our own understanding in relationships. Our hearts and feelings can be deceiving.
-Covenant relationships are symbolic for how Jesus treats the church. Future husbands represents Jesus and the future wife represents the church
-Marriage can not survive without surrender to God, without sacrifice and without grace and patience.

And she's back! With another message from God on todays epiosde of Her Authentic Self Podcast, season 4. This message is for the ladies who only know how to give and do, making the lives of everyone else around them better.

This state of mind is not an easy place to be in. I see you and I empathize with you. In this season of my life, God is showing me that it's not enough to give; I also need to find outlets that help to pour back into me.

I don't know who needs this reminder but when we fall on hard times, why do we still fear? Why do we still doubt? Hasn't God proven himself enough to us?
Many people, even non believers can pin point at least one moment in their life where God provided for a need almost miraculously. Those who don't believe in God call them "moments of luck". As believers we know God to be in control of all things. He is our heavenly father, protector and covering. He proves himself to be good to us all of the time; yet somehow we still forget what is possible in Christ the moment new issues and struggles arise.
How quickly we seem to forget all the small and BIG ways, God proves himself to be true and loving towards us. If God is righteous, is he not the same God yesterday as he is in the days to come? His consistent unfailing love for us exceeds what we can even imagine.
If you have struggles remembering his goodness and if you are still being held captive by the lies that are intrusive thoughts, this episode is for you!

Welcome back to all the loyal Her Authentic Self Podcast listeners. This episode is an emotional one for me because of the vulnerability needed to share my personal struggle with living an anxiety filled life. I pray this episode helps women release shame and guilt when it comes to their mental health journey. I also hope this episode serves as a reminder to all the independent anxious girlies, that they can not do life on their own.
Listen as I share the awakening I needed to realized that I am not the controller of all things, nor can I always solve my own struggles. For all the moments that I can not control, and the anxiety filled situations that I can not run from, God will provide the peace and lifted burden that I need to remove anxiety from my heart.
If you would like to hear a breakdown of how culture defines anxiety and how the bible instructs us to navigate anxiety in the world, this episode is for you!

Welcome back to all the authentic girlies this season. I felt in my spirit that we all need a 2025 pick me up as the year kicks off. We need reminders of all that God is capable to do in our lives and all we have to be grateful for, even amid the moments in our faith where we feel confused and lost. As the year begins I'm shifting my focus from what I'm loosing to all I have to gain in Christ.
This episode is a break down of me finally being more comfortable in my purpose and my calling. 2025 we are not playing small anymore! We are taking up space, speaking life and encouragement; sharing the gospel of all God truly wants to do for his children.
Overall the message for this episode is that, God would not mismanage your life! He is a loving father and he wants you to live abundantly! If you currently feel like you are constantly being mismanaged, ask yourself if God is in your life. Where do you stand with Spirit? Do you allow yourself to walk with God? Are you practicing daily gratitude for all God has already provided and most importantly, do you believe that you get to have it all & you DESERVE it all!

What better way to welcome in 2025 than with a new Her Authentic Self Podcast season. Welcome back listeners.
Season 4 represents spiritual transformation, even more difficult conversations and increased honesty. I wish I could start off the new year with a lighter discussion, however I felt a tug at my heart to be raw and open this episode, giving a first hand look into the struggles and lessons I'm currently experiencing as I seek to grow closer to God in ways I haven't been before.
This episode is for anyone who's ever felt frustrated by a lack of openness in the Church. This episode is for in-perfect people looking for answers when it comes to their faith but can't seem to find sources or people willing to have tough conversations about their personal struggles with Spirit, what they learned and how they overcame. It does not get more real and more honest than this!
Tune in to hear how I broke down earlier this week feeling like "maybe God's expectations are too high for me", and to hear my internal struggle with earthly pleasures and what God does and does not want us to indulge in.

Welcome back Her Authentic Self Audience. I wanted to sit down with my fiance before the new year and share an inside scoop into our authentic conversations about Love, God and Self Improvement. In this episode you will hear a very laid back, male and female conversation on the ways people self sabotage in their dating and how we should all differentiate wants vs needs in relationships.
Tune in if you want to hear and honest take on the ways we previously failed in dating before we met each other, what we've learned and what God continues to show us as we grow together and our best advice to those searching for a Godly kind of love.

I have not forgotten about my amazing listeners! As the year quickly approaches an end I plan to drop either 1 or 2 more episodes mapping out prayers and goals for the new year and ending with gratitude for all that God has done and continues to do.
In this episode I share a subject that I know God is working on within me.
It took me a long time to understand that my efforts of protecting myself were actively going against God's promise to me, which is that he protects all of his children.
This episode is for those who lean avoidant, and those who deem every uncomfortable situation or moment as a red flag. God used a specific moment in my life to show me that in order for Spirit to take me to the next level with this podcast and in my life generally, I'm going to have to learn to lean into discomfort rather than running from it. I'm learning to ask myself what moments require forgiveness and reconciliation as oppose to running away from everything that hurts me. Spirit helps me dive deeper into transformation that can truly occur when you apply the lesson God wants for you to learn from the pain you feel.
This episode is for you, if you've ever had internal difficulty with when and how forgiveness and reconciliation should look in your own life.

As the year is wrapping up, I wanted to share with the Her Authentic Self audience all the significant transformations God has been doing in my family. Prayers I've been saying for years that have finally been answered in the simple awareness I'm starting to see in my mom. Most of my life I prayed that my mom would be open to seeing and hearing the ways her actions or lack there of, have negatively affected me and my siblings. Recently she finally sat me down and told me everything I needed to hear, everything that God has been exposing to her about our family.
In this episode I share some scientific information about the very real implications trauma during pregnancy has on the genetic effects of an unborn child. Studies show Epigenetic inheritance from maternal trauma is very real and even being studied across multiple generations. Not only have I seen this to be true first hand in my family but also open discussions with my mom have shown me aspects of myself that I wasn't aware had passed down from my mom, her mom and so forth.
Spirit spoke to me about the need for prayer over familial bloodlines and how as children of God we need to command certain generational curses end with us! In order to make lasting change that effects generations to come in your family, it's important to to be aware of the ways negative mindsets that may be present in you and passed down from family members in the past.
Because of God, no matter what generational darkness has existed in our family's, we can still be encouraged that epigenetic's and generational trauma are not predetermined in our lives. We have the power through Spirit to create a new story and overcome trauma passed from bloodlines.

I know this message is going to help the girlies out there because so many things got in my way this week and almost stopped from posting this episode for you all. Everything from sickness, overstimulation, exhaustion and mental/emotional overwhelm with family members and coworkers really brought me down however I'm not going to let any of those things hinder what Spirit is using me to do and the people God wants me to reach with this message.
Glory to God that even in the storm, he reminds me of what I need to truly feel balanced and get back to what feeds my soul. In this episode you'll hear me share a passage from "Beauty in The Stillness" by Karin Hadadan on the past, present and future version of ourselves and how the differing timelines of our lives truly make us whole. I also share a glimpse into my past sense of identity; low self esteem and inability to see the God given value within me. Towards the end of the audio you'll also hear me share the important lessons I'm learning in therapy about relationship projection and the woman I DON'T want to be. All in all, this episode is the raw authenticity and vulnerability of my current journey, to show anyone experiencing similar discomfort that they are not alone.
God see's you, I see you and I pray this message will have a lasting impact on your healing journey. Amen

Sometimes the pride and joy you gain from your healing/emotional progress makes you feel like a failure when you see those old ways of thinking start to re-surface in your life. This idea we create in our minds that our journey towards growth should be an upward trajectory is not only false but can be very detrimental to our psyche. Until we learn that healing is a continuous process, both messy and beautiful, we wont be able to acknowledge that peaks and valleys are what make us human.
In this episode I share what my process looks like going back to therapy, the ways I've had to transform my thinking, give myself grace and trust that both progress and anxiety flares can exist at the same time.
Tune in to hear the lessons I'm learning about overcoming anxiety, how I maneuver feelings of loneliness/isolation and reminders of God's promises that say, his Spirit is always with us, no matter how far we go.

Of course, this wouldn't be Her Authentic Self Podcast if I wasn't being totally and completely honest about my personal walk with God and what Spirit has been showing me that I need to improve as I get closer to him. Recently at church I heard the same message twice on what it looks like "overlooking offense" on how to "bridge the gap with love". And as most people do, I thought to myself...I already heard this message, so that means I know it fully. I know the passages in Proverbs that we're going to go through and I know what God has called me to do when it comes to overlooking offense....
This level of naivety is how I think most believers choose to maneuver their walk with God. We think we know the word, we take the notes, we pray and we seek his presence so we also assume that we are fully right with God; however the moment a difficult life encounter comes up, suddenly we're reacting out of anger and pride, looking more like a representation of the world, than we do a representation of God and his love.
This episode is for anyone who wants to choose wisdom, rather than ignorance. It's for anyone that doesn't want to be the type of Christian who thinks they know the word, but isn't actively applying it in their life when it matters the most. This message is not for anyone to feel shame about the ways they have failed God's spiritual tests in their lives, but it is to serve as a reminder and accountability that we are actually living out God's wisdom, rather than just acting like we are.

I pray this message gives listeners some insight into not only what God is showing me about myself, but also what Spirit may be trying to attempt to show you. I really felt compelled to do a deeper dive into "Who I am" as a person and more importantly as a woman of God. I think often we define ourselves as our job title or what our resume lists, rather than being self aware enough and introspective enough to see what character traits truly define us. Who are we outside of our titles and What are the inner traits we carry? Are these qualities that we should be proud of, or qualities that God would be proud of?
The importance of knowing ourselves deeply in this way, helps navigate our paths towards where we intend to go and where God intends for us to be. Until you look at self, you may not realize that the traits you have within are what's hindering your journey and your growth in life.
Are you a giver? Are you prideful? Are you self centered? Are you jealous? Do you define your worth by your achievements? Do you have a savior complex? Do you feel the only way you will be valuable is if you give as much as you can to others? All of these questions can be difficult as we make the conscious decision to look at ourselves; but It is crucial for our development to not only know "Who We Are"; we must also ask the question "Why Am I This Way?" "What Happened To Me" and "Is This The Person God Wants Me To be"?

To switch it up a little, I decided to bring my partner back on the podcast so The Her Authentic Self audience can hear a behind the scenes male and female perspective on what God intends from romantic union and what we learned as a couple to understand about each others needs and quirks.
This would not be Her Authentic Self if I did not show an authentic representation of what our relationship looks like as we learn together and grow together. Simply loving your partner is not enough, and as much as we know God intended for our relationship to come forth, there were still many times that we fell short of showing each other a love that God intends. There were still times where we struggled to accept each other and truly hear each others needs.
This episode is for anyone who wants the truth of what love is and what God says love should be. This episode is for anyone who is eagerly desiring relationship and for God to hear their prayers. Love is so much more than meeting the person you're meant to be with forever. In order to maintain a healthy relationship you will need to be comfortable with self awareness, comfortable with change and comfortable with adapting to life with a partner rather than solely putting yourself first.

Happy Sunday ladies and gentlemen. I pray that this audio help encourage you and whatever hardship you may currently be facing. This message is heartfelt and real. This message for anyone who has allowed disappointments in life to push them farther away from God and his promises. This message is not to condemn or talk down to those struggling with their faith. This message is to help those who feel upset and let down by God; to encourage these people, make them feel seen and loved.
I know what it's like to feel as though you have been faithful and God still hasn't answered your prayers. I know what its like to feel confused and disappointed because you have been trusting God to do a work that feels it will never come to pass. I believe one of the main reasons people turn away from their faith, is because their un-answered desired and prayers start to build deep levels of pain and resentment within them. You are not alone!
Maybe God wants us to bring our disappointments to him? Maybe God yearns for a relationship with us where we can truly be vulnerable. Your lament of a situation does not equate to self pity. Don't allow delayed miracles to push you farther away from the only Source who can make the impossible come to pass in your life. If you are in a season where you feel burdened and angry with God, maybe its time to be honest with yourself and see what's truly at the center of your heart?

Happy Friday to all the people struggling with perfectionism and self doubt. I may not know your story but If you've been feeling more exhausted than ever lately, this message is for you. Tune in to hear some tell tale signs that you may be living a life of hurry sickness. God instructs us in Mathew 11:28-30 and says “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
This is your reminder that we are called to REST in him. Spirit empathizes with our workload and our busy plates; this is why God instructs us to rest in him, so that he can take away our weariness and the heavy burdens we carry.
Be encouraged today and know that my story and testimony is first hand proof, that life with God is so much better! In him we have rest, we have purpose and fulfillment. We have peace of mind and unconditional love like no other. God has brought me so much father then where I used to be.
If you feel lost and overwhelmed in your current season of life, know that God see's you and he understands. His spiritual advice to us is to abandon what culture says about non stop productivity, and decide to choose a path of rest. Decide to lay our burdens on him and decide to let him make our lives so much better! There is no one like the Lord.

This message is for the person who needs to be reminded that God has not forgotten about them, just because they're in a season of suffering.
The world will tell you to crumble and fall into depression when you experience unwanted pain and suffering. The bible tells us in James 1:2-4 "Consider it pure joy my brothers and sisters whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance"
Yes its hard for the world to grasp that such a loving merciful God would allow us to experience pain we don't deserve...but Gods ways are not our ways. We are called to stand in faith and know that he is with us through the storm. We are called to be a holy representation of Christ. Suffering in our lives challenges whether or not we are going to put his word into practice. If we're going to choose faith over fear.
Yes God loves you! He loves you so much that he allows suffering to create Spiritual perseverance in us.

This message is for the woman that thinks God does not love her. This message is for the woman thats been hurt by christians in the past. It's for the woman that thinks no one sees her. The woman who believes she must do everything on her own and continue to rely on herself. This message is for all of God's lost daughters. You CAN find peace in knowing that God sees every tear you cry. He's chasing you down, trying to show you that he has so much more to offer you than the world does.
Queen, be encouraged today. He sees you and he loves you.

Happy Valentines Day loves and Welcome to Season 3! I wanted to start off by saying, ALL women are welcome here; even non believers, ESPECIALLY non believers. This platform is for women to feel seen, heard, valued and to learn emotional and spiritual tools as we navigate our healing journeys. You are loved by me no matter what your religious beliefs are and I am standing in faith that people will receive helpful guidance from my authenticity and walk with God.
In this episode I update you all on the messaging I've heard from Spirit since my previous recording. I'm learning that often my frustration with God comes from my belief that Spirit isn't hearing my prayers. Not only did God check me, but he told me through various sources that yes, he does hear my prayers but he's waiting on me to move forward! Yes, we serve an amazing God but Faith without works is dead. If you believe but do not put any of the necessary actions behind your request than there is nothing God can do, except wait on you to move.
If there is anything you have been praying for, I want you to know that God hears you. Next time you feel your prayers are not manifesting, ask God what he needs from you!
We desperately need God in our lives, and in order to get close to him there is more that we are required to do than simply say our requests in prayer.
If you feel lost in your current season of life, don't be weary. If we were never lost, we would not have the chance to know and see God move!

Welcome Back Her Authentic Self audience! This is the very first episode of the new year and I'm really excited about it! Ive decided each year will represent a new podcast season, that way the audience can truly follow my healing journey through each cycle.
Of course I had to start off 2024 with a prayer and once again remain open, authentic and honest about where I'm currently at and what I've been hearing from God. This episode is vulnerability and truth about the friends I've lost. I share a certain level of frustration with God in feeling like he keeps taking people away from me... Because of the intentionality and time with God I've created in my life now, Spirit spoke back to me about Gods intention to heal me and not to punish me.
This episode is also an analysis of todays culture that tells us to keep our wins a secret. A culture that believes "a private life is a happy life" and the overwhelming messages we hear about not sharing too much with people because you cant trust who is actually preying on your downfall. This episode contradicts these cultural ideas and encourages faith based scripture that tells people in christ to "Be the light of the world' and outshine all darkness.
I pray this discussion encourages you to release shame/fear and instead adopt freedom of truth, authenticity and a willingness to share your story with others.
You may have grown up thinking your story made you less than or believing you should be embarrassed by what you've been through. I'm here to tell you today that you story will be what changes the lives of women and impacts them in a positive way! Your story and your voice is your power and God wants you to use it.

Before I share these episode details with you, I want to share a fun fact about how God spiritually aligned the intro of this podcast. I fell in love with Jazz saxophonists and when I heard this one particular solo, I had no idea what the song was called, I just knew it would be the perfect intro because I loved it so much. Each episode I kept using the same audio, and one day I found out the song that I use for my podcast theme was actually called "The Light" by a musician named Vandell Andrew. The reason why I'm sharing this with you all now is because this podcast vision was given to me by God before I even knew what it would become. None of my ideas were pre planned but I trusted Gods voice every single time and I kept going...now I see that every detail was already pre-orchastrated by Spirit. There is a reason why I chose this song intro for "Her Authentic Self Podcast". God is the light of the world and he is using me as a vessel to share my light with others.
As we begin to enter a new year, I wanted to share some things that have been hindering me in my walk with God and my purpose. As I continue to move forward I don't want to hold onto anything that could potentially be holding me back from the life God wants me to have. Tune into this episode to hear my plans for releasing all the below, and my call to action to move closer to the life of abundance that I am manifesting through God.
Here are the 5 hinderances that we are releasing before the new year:
- Un-forgivness
2.Doubt - Inadequacy and Comparison
4.Complacency
5.Holding onto people that aren’t going where God is bringing us

Hello beautiful ladies. Her Authentic Self Podcast is back with another week of discussion on my spiritual journey and lessons I'm learning in this current season of my life. This episode is for the girlies who create content, the women who try to be superhuman and handle everything for everyone. This episode is for deeply empathetic people, it's for those who struggle with "compassion fatigue" and anyone out there that needs a reminder of how their healing journey is breaking generational cycles for every little girl that comes after them.
This episode is also for the people who try to portray "joy" via social media platforms. For those who struggle deep down inside but portray a false image to the world. I see you and I understand you because this used to be my mindset.
I pray this discussion opens your eyes to the true embodiment of joy, peace, love and abundance that The Divine calls each and everyone of their children to have. All of the above can be yours but it starts with you. It starts with your healing journey, it starts with your relationship with God and the intrusive thoughts you have about yourself. Queen be encouraged today and share this message with all the women in your life that you love dearly!

Before I drop my next episode on "Experiencing Joy and Breaking Cycles"
I wanted to switch up the typical format and do something fun! In this audio you will hear a glimpse into my boyfriend and I's couch conversations. One of our favorite things to do is discuss and dissect various perspectives and debates. This time around I wanted to share important lessons we're learning about being in a Godly relationship and communicating effectively.
Most people have heard the perspective on Men being logical creatures and women being more emotional. As you follow along through this discussion you will hear our male and female perspectives break down the differences we notice about ourselves and effective tools that have helped us best show up for the other person, in the ways we each receive effective communication.
This discussion is for the girlies in relationships and for anyone who is currently manifesting a Divine kind of love. Finding a partner with the same core values as you is just the beginning of a very long journey towards resolving conflict in a healthy way and expressing ones personal needs. The goal in our relationship is not to always agree with one another. We embrace conflict, we put aside ego, we listen to understand/ not to respond and most importantly we love each other the way God calls us to.
Ladies, always remember that God sees the desires of our hearts. Your dream partner is out there, but first genuine self awareness and willingness to change is required.

Whats going on beautiful people! I love this podcast platform more than I can explain and I miss it so much! To apologize for being gone I plan to drop not one but two episodes back to back and catch up the audience with messages I've been been hearing from Spirit. I'm happy to say that outside of the podcast life has been exceedingly amazing, more so than I could ever imagine before.
This episode is about the struggle many overachievers face, battling thoughts of inadequacy. I discuss the feeling many of us get. The idea of not being enough, until certain goals are achieved and materialized. As I go deeper into these intrusive thoughts I notice this feeling of inadequacy really stems from a fear of "not becoming" the person you want to be. Rather than falling prey to these intrusive thoughts, understand that they do not come from God. What comes from God brings you peace of mind and comfort not inner chaos.
I discuss my transition from living a life in the world to becoming set apart in Christ. I share my testimony in hopes that other women experiencing difficulty see just how amazing and transformative Gods love is when you accept Spirit into your heart. If listeners receive anything from this episode, I pray it's that they grasp how much God wants to show us MORE in life. Spirit can take the furthest people from God and completely transform them, casting all the sins from their past away.
In order to achieve the abundance God wants for us, we must first stop living on borrowed faith, stop being entitled to the things we want and start seeking a personal relationship with God. Theres nothing stopping you from living a life full of promise, but you need to take the first step!

This episode is for anyone who has felt alone lately. This is your reminder that you are not alone, you've been separated so that you can hear The Divines word more clearly and so that you can become more spiritually aligned. There is beauty in separation if we learn to value our intentional moments alone with God.
If you are struggling with the need to be approved and qualified by others, this episode is your reminder that The Divine qualifies you. Any door that Spirit has opened for you is exactly where you are supposed to be. Never underestimate where your faith in God can take you.
And lastly, I end this episode sharing my ultimate vision for The Her Authentic Self Podcast and brand. As 2024 rapidly approaches I want to share the big dreams that have been placed on my heart and ways I pray I'm able to use this platform to help other women who are struggling emotionally and spiritually. As I continue to get closer to The Source I pray my continued growth will help the lives of someone else.

Happy Sunday to all my loyal listeners!! Once again, being obedient to Spirit and being the most authentic version of myself, I bare it all and discuss the realizations I've recently had trying to get closer to Spirit. I believe that what sets me apart and what sets this podcast apart is my approach and delivery of Gods love and all he wants to do through me. Unlike many christian content creators, my goal is not to be an authoritative voice that gives direction in a harsh way. My goal is not to bring people closer to God by using fear or hate tactics. I believe that the reason why The Divine has chosen to use me is because of my empathetic nature. I choose to bring people closer to Spirit through means of genuine love and understanding, and I do this by sharing my story, sharing my flaws/imperfections and showing this audience first hand, that God still loves me, he still chooses me and I believe his unconditional love is what will truly change the hearts of others.
In this episode I break down how I define having codependent relationships and Idols above God and how to release them in order to go where The Divine seeks to take us. Spirit wants us to be completely dependent on him, not money, sex, relationships, alcohol or partying. In this episode I am honest about the times I've been frustrated with God and stopped speaking to him. I'm honest about the ways I had to learn to give up the things of my flesh in order to become closer to God.
I hope from this audio, you gather that christianity is hard. God has called us to be more like him and this requires real painful transformation. But I also encourage people to choose his unconditional love anyways. It does not mean you wont experience trails in your life, but it does mean you will have the ultimate spiritual teammate helping you through every difficult transition and every step of life. Following Christ is the best decision I've ever made despite the hurdles and I pray the same for anyone who is listening.

I want to share with you all something that isn’t current but I hope still has the same healing effects for women. It’s very personal to me but honestly I’m being obedient to Spirit and talking about all aspects of my life that I think will truly help the girlies.
In this episode I express vulnerability about the toxic mindset I had towards dating and the many familial wounds I dated from subconsciously. I am open and honest about the lack of self love I had most of my life. I used to seek validation from being chosen by men and comparing myself with other women to see where I rank amongst them.
My prayer is that this episode is encouragement for women to truly do the shadow work and look at self to see the ways they may be potentially self sabotaging. This episode is a declaration to women that manifestation is REAL and a reminder to all that Unconditional Love is your birthright!
The message I truly want women to take away from this is that: You do not earn being treated well... People are not going to treat you better if you try harder !!!
"Unconditional Love, will bring up anything unlike itself" Once you hold unconditional love for yourself and make space for unconditional love in your life, you truly start to see every area where unconditional love was lacking in your past.
This is true transformation.

In this episode you will learn what I've been learning from spirit recently, which is,
How to spiritually differentiate between the things we should fight for vs. the things we should let go of and trust God.
As I grow I understand that not everything is meant to be held onto. Sometimes disconnections are Gods blessings and/or the opposite...God can turn a set back, into a set up! When faced with both scenario's in life, you will need to know how to tell the difference between a set back vs. a sign to walk away.
Ask yourself
1. Does this person or situation "support the fruit of the spirit, or go against it"
2.Is the experience I'm going through pushing me away or closer to God?
3.Am I trusting The Divine in all areas of my life?
Tune in to hear first hand examples and stories of how the above have applied to my healing journey. As the episode comes to an end I also share motivation on how you can continue to move forward after you're tempted to give up on Gods calling in your life.
One of the main take aways from this message is that when you quit on the wrong thing, when you quit on your calling, you never get the chance to become the person you were always meant to be

On another episode of "lets talk more about mental health and emotional wellness topics most people avoid" Her Authentic Self Podcast discusses what it means to be an empath and how to best navigate personal relationships and life as you become more self aware
To site my sources, I'm pulling directly from Dr. Judith Orloff's New York Times Best Seller "The Empaths Survival Guide: Life Strategies for Sensitive People.
This book really opened my eyes to a particular sensitivity I felt my whole life. The author breaks down types of empaths, the empaths experience with sensitivities and how to protect/safeguard empaths from negative energies in life
In this episode I talk about the importance of being your authentic self, speaking what can sometimes be an uncomfortable truth and why its important not to let things go unsaid in our personal relationships. This is the journey towards healing. No more people pleasing, honoring the emotions of others and dishonoring ourselves.
Follow along as I share tools that I've used to protect myself from bad energies while also being compassionate, graceful and loving with my truths shared.

In this episode I wanted to share my life experience and journey with anxiety.
I explain the importance of changing our thought process from "Whats wrong with me" to "What happened to me / what caused this" and provide helpful tips for releasing anxiety through seeking more spiritual alignment.
I know I don't always have the answers but I trust Divine timing and I trust Spirit wants the best for our lives. My past has taught me that often my most anxiety inducing experiences resulted from refusing to surrender to The Divine. I was not truly living in alignment with the best version of myself. I was not living in alignment with the woman God has called me to be. Because this was my experience, I encourage any woman that struggles with anxiety to pray and speak to God. Ask him "in what areas does my life lack alignment?"
Once we seek to be more self aware, looking within to see where and how we may be responsible for our own paid, we find spiritual awakening and healing.
And even though combatting anxiety is a journey, it has helped in my own healing journey to repeat trust and embodiment affirmations to release anxious thoughts. Affirming who you are and who God says you are, not only transforms the mind but also opens the floodgates of manifestation and more abundance. Speaking and believing affirmations, shows The Divine that you have faith and trust in the process of your journey towards healing and a better quality of life.

I may not have everything right now, but I wouldn’t change my life for anyone else’s. Follow me in this episode as I break down the impactful negative effects of comparison, entitlement and lack of trust in spirit and The Divine timing of our lives.
We often need reminders to stay focused on our own life's journey while trusting that everything is as it should be. Listen as I give my own personal example of a time me being self consumed clouded my judgement, resulting in anger and confusion. My actions of jumping to conclusions are exactly what I believe many of us do, when we compare our lives to our friends, family members, co workers and partners.
If you catch yourself doing this, stand in faith and Re-Affirm "I wouldn't change what I have now for the world”. Just because the Divine does not show us their hand of cards, doesn't mean spirit has not already worked out everything for your good. All you need to do is stop comparing, and believe.

Happy Summer ladies! In this episode I continue to welcome you all into my healing journey of discovery. I am discussing Dr. Nicole LePera's therapeutic analysis on those who grew up in homes with family that felt like "familiar strangers" ultimately being love-starved.
She then explains why emotional childhood neglect can lead many people into habitual cycles of moving fast in relationships and accepting breadcrumbs for love. It is only once one is willing to accept and acknowledge deep self awareness, shadow work and healing, that they can truly understand how certain patterns in their adult lives may be stemming from the past.
Walk with me through this episode as I share my own experiences with love bombing and accepting the bare minimum vs my experience dating a man of God who is spiritually accountable and aligns with my personal values. This is my best advice to to anyone that feels like they will never find the love God has intended for them. Be encouraged, learn to look at self and adopt healthy change in your dating life. Do the shadow work and see if your past could be whats negatively effective your love life and most importantly, have faith and enjoy the divine timing of life. You deserve love and abundance always.

Happy Summer everyone. More recently I've been asking The Divine to guide my words and show me what my next episode topic should be. Before I post I like to make sure I'm hearing from God in terms of what I need to be addressing in my heart and what others may potentially be going through and need to hear.
How many people have had an experience with someone from their past who told them that "You’ve changed so much" or who try to remind you of the person you used to be? Yes sometimes people who think that know you, get uncomfortable when they see a change occurring in your life, when they no longer recognize the person you are. The goal of this episode is to discuss how we can learn to not only teach others that we are growing and evolving during life’s process but also to teach ourselves the importance of truly letting go of the past version of us, we no longer resonate with.
Webster defines the words "process" as a natural phenomena marked by gradual changes that lead towards a particular result. Our entire lives are a "process" of learning and unlearning, becoming and unbecoming, remembering who we are and who we are not. You needed to go through those dark times in order to find the light and become who you’re truly meant to be.
I hope this episode helps you learn to let go of who you used to be. You cant get to where you're meant to go, holding on....

Happy Friday beautiful people!
Lately I feel women have been asking me for tips on how to achieve peace during life's chaos and seeking guidance/ encouragement to get through the difficulties they experience. Although this is a loaded question and I typically provide tips and tricks Ive used in my own life such as emotional processing and manifesting, I never want my message to be unclear. Just as much as I believe in therapy and emotional regulation, I feel it important to let it be known that I would be no where without God. Theres no way I would have achieved the life and level of peace I have now, without The Divine.
In all things that I have faith in, in all things that I manifest and in all things that have saved my life; God is at the center.
My best advice along side therapy and healing is genuinely to adopt a relationship with God, whatever that looks like for you. Manifesting the life you deserve is impossible without his spirit. I have all that I have because of my relationship with him.
If you're like the women who often come to me with questions, I want you to know that you have to search no further. Seek the Lord and start to adopt the ways of his love. All you need is faith as small as a mustard seed for God to move in your life in an incredible way. I personally know this to be true

Happy Saturday Everyone! As the tenth episode of season two I feel this topic was perfect; also the numbers that seem to be following me lately are 0,1 and 2... I wanted to cover a message thats very close to my heart; the level of comfort we feel truly being in our own skin, being authentic and vulnerable about our human experiences.
This topic is especially close to my heart because of how many people feel about the church. So many people feel they wont be welcome or loved by God because of who they are. Many people feel they are too imperfect so they run from themselves. I know I can personally resonate with this feeling. For many years I felt I was on valuable if I showed up to the world as perfect as I possibly could. The struggles I expirenced, the pain and guilt I endured throughout life, I felt ashamed by. I felt I had to hide this pain from the world. I wasn't living and being my authentic self because I was consumed with fear about what people may think or say about me.
In this new season of my healing journey, I hope to inspire anyone that feels they have to hide their vulnerabilities in order to be deemed valuable. I hope this message shows women and all people that we can abandon this fear and find true freedom when we keep our focus on a willingness to change and be more like spirit.
Sis, your authentic self is enough!

Happy spring and Happy Happy Happy Mothers Day Season everyone! I've been going back, editing audios from the last couples months and I feel this one if perfectly fitting for the month of May. In this episode I share with you all the miracles that stand out most throughout my life. Please listen to the end for a full picture of how miracles DO happen, God exists and he wants to show up in your life just as he has done in my own life countless times. I hope my story of struggle and extreme levels of grace, motivates you to get through whatever hardship you are currently experiencing in life.
Not only is this a tell all story about the dark times spirit helped me and my family overcome; but it is also a story for all the people who grew up in religious homes and for all the praying women and praying mothers out there. My entire life I've seen my mom practice being a prayer warrior. Our lives growing up were far from perfect but the divine never took his hand off us. If it wasn't for all the passionate prayers my mother said over her children, if it wasn't for her normalizing speaking to God and having genuine faith through the valleys of life, I would not have the spiritual foundation that I do today and for that I am FOREVER grateful.
Im blessed to be able to look back at my life and see how everything happened exactly as it was supposed to. My life has been in alignment from the start! Only difference is that now I'm proud and excited to share with you all my most authentic self, in hopes that it encourages other women and other moms to be the most authentic version of themselves and to give all the glory and honor to God, the universe and Spirit; All divine forces that guide us through life when we are OPEN to the impossible coming true. We are all deserving of Gods never ending grace and love.
Happy mothers day to all the current moms. Happy mothers day to all the God moms and anyone who has helped to raise up children that are not their own. Happy mothers day to the women who desire children and child birth. There is nothing more pure and nothing more beautiful than the love Gods puts within women to nurture and love his children.

What's going on beautiful people! I know its been a little over a month, thanks so much for your patience. I will of course be sharing with you all the current transition I'm grateful to have experience this spring however I could not forget about this podcast and I have not!
This episode was actually recorded and edited about a month ago. I'll be dropping several episodes this week covering all that I've learned during my healing journey more recently. When I recorded this spirit happened to be working on me in regards to unforgiveness, telling the truth and genuine compassion. I had been dodging a family gathering I didn’t want to be apart of because of judgement and unforgivenss that I held my heart. The same week chapters in book I'm reading on 40 days and 40 nights of spiritual growth, happened to be covering these exact topics. The alignment I was going through could not have been more real.
When listening to this episode ask yourself, what areas of your heart have you been subconsciously ignoring? Can you learn to have more forgivness, more compassion and less brutal truths towards the people who have hurt you or caused you pain? It's a very difficult lesson to learn but its the most important when it comes to maturing, healing and connecting with the divine.

This message is for the independent kings and queens that were raised to believe strength is being a lone soldier. Yes there are many benefits that come from centering yourself in solitude however God never intended us to be alone in life. Community is essential for growth in every way! spiritual growth, growth in self love, growth in character development and growth within all of our personal relationships.
Many of us isolate ourselves from people because we have experienced severe pain caused by friendships, caused by family and romantic partners. Many of us were raised to believe we can not trust other people. Raised to believe independence and strength lies within handling all of life’s burdens on our own. It’s unfortunate that within the black community, the way we learned to handle sever trauma own our own has become a badge of honor we wear proudly!
In this season of my life I'm learning hyper independence and the refusal to reach out to others is a trauma response. Believing you must handle everything on your own in order to be a successful adult only does a disservice in our lives. WE NEED PEOPLE. Not just an active social life. We need a sound community of loved ones around us. We need mentors, we need close friends and family who love us, we need advice and support. We need friends, family, and co workers. We need people in our lives who want to see us win! This is how your spiritual walk begins to grow. This is how your life begins to expand, by creating meaningful connections with others. There is only so much we can do on our own. Yes the lone soldier can succeed, but you can achieve 3x as more with a community of love surrounding you. There is strength in partnerships!

In this episode I become really passionate about the overwhelming magnitude and ways spirit has been chasing me down. Spiritually chasing me down in every area of my life! I feel so honored and loved by God because even when I'm going the wrong direction in life, spirit refuses to let me go. God sends me the right people, the right messages, numerology, anything you can imagine, to help me stay on course to where he's guiding me. In this season of life I'm learning to trust God when the path of my life is being re-aligned by spirit. I'm learning that just because its easier focusing on the many inconveniences in life, it doesn’t mean the presence of blessings in my life has disappeared. Yes I experience difficulties that feel inconvenient but I also experience 3x the amount of blessings and divine alignment in my life and I am beyond grateful!
In the past when I lost people, jobs, relationships, friendships etc. I saw this as an attack on my life. I easily made the assumption that God no longer sees me, that God must no longer be with me. The longer I continue this journey, trusting God to lead me where I should go, the more it has become increasingly apparent to me that God has been with me the entire time. He's never left me. Anytime I lose something, God replaces it with something better. Anytime I'm tempted to make a decision out of fear or anxiety God reminds me not to settle. God reminds me that I can have more because nothing is impossible for a child of God.
Ask yourself what are the limiting beliefs you've convinced yourself to be true? Maybe you think no one will ever love you because of your baggage? Maybe you think you’ll never find a job you enjoy thats also well paying? Maybe you think you don’t deserve love, happiness, or friendship? Have you convinced yourself that life is meant to be difficult and you will never have fulfillment? never have peace? never have financial stability? God wants us to have more than we can imagine. He wants you to know you’re worth and value in him. He wants you to dream bigger! Acknowledge the limiting beliefs that are hindering you in life. Do you really know who you are? Do you know who God says you are?

How many people in this audience have heard other self help motivational speakers discuss the importance of shadow work? I know for myself shadow work felt so confusing. I wondered, is it a therapy practice? or Is it witchcraft? It sounds so mysterious...
From this episode discussion I realize I've known the true definition of shadow work for quite some time. Self awareness is shadow work! True Self awareness is having enough love for yourself that you do a deep dive into all aspects and details of your life to see what truths you've subconsciously hidden about yourself. My self awareness journey has made me realize as much as I am a loving, considerate person, I do struggle with elements of anger in my heart. I often have road rage when driving and I'm liable to lash out at a loved one when I feel disrespected or intentionally misunderstood. The true challenge of self awareness is not to beat yourself up or criticize yourself for the emotions you have within. The true practice of self awareness is to embrace yourself fully, in order to unlearn any character traits that are not serving you. Often self awareness is a very difficult practice of uncovering the flaws we try to hide. For example, maybe you tell little white lies from time to time? maybe sometimes you hold envy in your heart towards your friends accomplishments? Maybe you find it difficult being emotional vulnerable with loved ones ? or maybe you easily lash out at friends or co workers, anyone that challenges your peace?
This is the level of shadow work and self awareness we truly need to have if we are looking to embrace real change within ourselves. Just because you don't have large amounts of negative emotions that are outwardly shown, does not mean you do not have some demons in your heart that need to be addressed. You should be so so self aware that you understand and truly acknowledge the areas of your life that need to change.
In conclusion, self awareness is not only crucial for growth and development. Self awareness can also bring a great source of joy and fulfillment into our lives. Do you truly know yourself? Do you know what things you love to do? Do you know what ways you prefer to communicate? Do you know what sets your soul on fire? Do you know effective self care activities you can do in your own life? Everyone needs to be honest and self aware with themself, especially people in teaching positions. Real shadow work and self awareness pushes us to become our best selves and i want joy, peace of mind and growth for all the ladies and gents on their healing journey's.

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! I felt really compelled to record something encouraging for all the singles. Even if you are happily in a relationship I believe this message can have a large impact on the way we view romantic love and healing. From my experience I've seen first hand how people have self sabotaged and ruined relationships because they refuse to change and do the healing required to be in a healthy loving partnership.
Everyone deserves to be loved and I know real genuine love will come into your life in divine timing. Rest assured that you do not need to be anxious or jealous or envious. It isn’t until we focus on the parts of ourselves that aren’t so pretty, until we prioritize self love and healing that we can be open and receptive to a love we deserve. Even if you did meet the love of your life tomorrow, I believe all the emotional baggage you refuse to deal with will 100% rear its ugly head in your relationship. This is how adults unintentionally self sabotage. When we run from emotional awareness and maturity, when we choose to ignore growth and true character development, we hinder ourselves from being able to maintain a healthy love.
My best advice to those people who are alone on valentines day is to cultivate deep levels of self love. Healing is love. Becoming the best version of yourself is love. Once you commit to doing the work, you will see the flood gates open when it comes to a healthy love you deserve in your life. When you heal and focus on self growth, this is how you attract a healthy partnership in divine timing. Nothing is out of reach for you. You can and you will manifest a perfect love once you focus on building within. Whether it is romantic love, family love of friendship. The foundation of all healthy loving relationships stems from the amount of true love you have for yourself and your expansion. It stems from how much you trust God and the universe in your love life.

On this episode of more uncomfortable authenticity, I'm talking about all the times in life we felt let down by spirit. Healing, growth and learning to have faith IS NOT always going to feel good. How many times have we felt tempted to abandon God because of a painful life experience endured? I know I have. We become frustrated, confused, even angry when it feels like God is not responding to our consistent efforts and prayers. It doesn't feel good to be authentic with people about the ways you're struggling or about the failures you've experienced. If the feelings of pain and discomfort in life cause you to run from your faith, ask yourself is it really a relationship that you want with God? Or do you just want to hear "Yes" all the time. How self consumed are your desires?
Yes, God wants you to have joy and peace! Yes God wants you to have the desires of your heart. Yes he wants you to live the best life you can envision....but you know what spirit wants more? Spirit wants your heart to change! God's love has no end, but sometimes God makes us endure difficulty so that our character can develop. God will let you endure hardship because he sees what needs to be changed within us. Spirit wants you to have more faith, spirit wants you to abandon jealousy and envy. Spirit wants you to be generous and grateful with what you have. God is not concerned with always making his children "feel good". God wants us to be renewed and restored. He wants to see our character so developed that we look more like his image of pure love.
If you're in a season where you feel abandoned and neglected by God. If you’re in a season that you’re asking God to make a way and he hasn’t yet, I want you to be encouraged by the below. The universe always has 3 answers for you at different times
-
Yes
-
Not right now
-
I have something BETTER for you
What you are experiencing is not to harm you. It's to protect and prepare you for the harvest God really wants for you. Do not be discouraged. He has plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Any door that was closed in your face, will be replaced with something BETTER. Question is, do you have faith? Do you trust God? Or do you give up when you don't get your way?

I've been mentioning this since 2022 and now its finally here! This episode is all about the journaling I began last year. The prompts I discuss are the 3 x 33 rule, gratitude and the Wheel of Life worksheet. About 4 months ago I began writing down in detail what I wanted to manifest in my life, vivid depictions of how it will feel to obtain this life and first hand examples of people I currently know, who have the lifestyle I'm manifesting. For 3 consecutive days I repeated manifestation statements 33 times. Each prompt the exact same. This practice was followed by a wheel of life worksheet that separates life into categories: Job, Finance, Personal Growth, Health, Family, Friends, Hobby and Spirituality. A deep dive into what you want your life to look like in every area.
In 4 months I've already seen several things in my manifestation journal begin to realize. In this short period of time I know that God has truly seen me and the universe has been working non stop to bring my manifestations to life. 3 very important affirmations that helped me during the waiting process are:
- I trust the mysterious flow of the universe
- I honor what is here
- I find opportunity in the wake of difficulty
The final step of the manifestation process for me, was to release and visualize. The final and most important step of it all. I learned that the act of desiring and wanting is not enough to manifest the life of your dreams. Impatience will also get you nowhere. Rather, you should have an abundance of faith in what's to come! So much so that you believe it is coming, you release the desire and you begin to visualize what it will feel like when the manifestation comes because you know it's already yours!
My goal of this episode is for people to understand that I am a regular flawed human being. The same way I've began to manifest my life dreams, so can you! We all have the tools and are capable of manifesting the life we imagine. All it takes is intentionality, willingness and gratitude for what you have already been given.

Whats going on everyone! I hope everyone is starting off the new year well. This is a trial episode for something new I wanted to introduce as: Candid Conversations. This is a first hand account and glimpse into the discussions I have with other believers in faith. I hope you enjoy this candid conversation that provides a male and female perspective on the church ideology behind women and the way they dress. If you associate as female, I know your clothing and outward appearance has been a topic of contention at some point in your life. If you want an authentic look into how this makes both myself and my partner feel, this is the episode for you!
In this conversation we are addressing difficult topics such as: "How do people in the church perceive a woman who "dresses sexy"? What does the bible say about outward appearance and appropriateness? Is there mixed messaging from church that supports Gods love but judges the appearance of those who attend? What kind if trauma has this caused women in the church to feel about our bodies? And how can we open the dialogue more for women to love their bodies and themselves fully.
From this candid conversation I hope others see first hand how two people in a relationship can have healthy, effective disagreements without disrespecting the other persons point of view. In this conversation we both make space for each others personal experiences and take aways. We both allow each other to speak without judgement. And most importantly we express our truth even when its uncomfortable as a means to growing closer

I get a little emotional in this episode for a couple reasons. The first being that I've finally surrendered fully to God, having faith and falling in love with my journey. The second reason is because just as I was feeling less than my best self, God continued to chase after me, giving me CLEAR signs from the universe that my desires are closer than they seem.
I happened to stumble upon a free library outside of a strangers home. Grateful for the novels, I had no idea what awaited me inside them. I began to read Iyanla Vanzant's "One Day My Soul Just Opened Up" and to my surprise two very touching hand written letters fell out. One letter began with "Dear Dad" the other "Dear Husband". Two of the most beautiful God centered, heartfelt letters I've read in a long time. It was as if I could have been the writer of these words! So much synchronicity and alignment between my own feelings towards my father and towards the husband I've been manifesting. Words I needed to hear to remind me that God hasn’t forsaken me. My entire being felt and deeply related to the writers sentiments of gratitude towards God. The moment was so touching it brought me to tears.
I hope this New Year episode really speaks to someone. Going into 2023 let's learn to fall in love with the journey. Alignment is real and God sees you in every season of your life. Once you commit to being the best version of yourself, the Universe will send you miraculous signs that you are on the right path. Spirit will speak to you in various ways. Be encouraged knowing that the life you are manifesting is coming into fruition! Keep going and keep asking God to show you what and who belongs in your life next year!

As the year comes to an end I wanted to share my thoughts and reflections about 2022. This year I encountered so many people who seemed to not understand who they truly are. I'm also guilty of this, sometimes putting myself down and assuming the worst of myself. This episode is to inspire and impact everyone who has made it through a rough year. You are an overcomer!
You are created in the image of God. You are divine, you are here for a reason and your life has meaning and purpose! Never take your innate gifts lightly. Everything about you is unique and masterful. When God created you he said "This is Perfect". I challenge anyone who is setting intentions towards the new Year to not only write down what they are manifesting for 2023, but to also write down who they are and what they've overcome this year. You’re stronger than you realize. You are capable. You are hard working, you never give up and you are still here! The practice of writing all this down before the new year allows you to stand in your POWER. You cant know where you’re going until you look at how far God has brought you.
This year I learned so much about the woman I am. Everyday living in alignment with God and the universe I uncover my spiritual gifts more and more. My ability to feel the emotions of others deeply. My ability to see others emotionally without them having to say a word. I now know my innate sensitivity for others is not my downfall. Being an empath and a clairvoyant is a gift that Gods placed inside of me. A gift I'm blessed to have.
We are all divine. We all have special purpose in this life. It's our job to take a leap of faith and discover what it is we are here to do. If you want to further discover your own spiritual gifts, go into the new year with intention, owning your power declaring abundance. When you are centered with God, the universe will speak to you. You just need to take a moment to silence the outside noise and really listen.

I had about over an hour of audio recorded but tried to slim it down to about 45min for you all. This discussion really pushed me to not only question what expectations I have of my own friends, family and future romantic partner, but to also research what science says about managing healthy expectations. This is a discussion crucial to the development of all people because as much as we may not admit, unmet expectations are the largest cause of dissatisfaction and pain within our closest community of loved ones.
Is it healthy to have expectations? What does an unhealthy expectation look like? How do I communicate my needs to friends, family and romantic partners? Are my expectations normal? Will the relationship last if I am consistently disappointed by my unmet needs? How can I maintain my closest relationships without abandoning myself? Is this an expectation or a boundary that I have for my loved one? What are effective ways I can express my boundaries and expectations to others? Am I crazy for expecting a certain level of treatment? Will I lose my partner if I express my needs? Should I stay with my partner if they don't respect my boundaries? And what does it look like maintaining relationships with family members that are committed to misunderstanding me?
If you have had any of the above thoughts or questions. Please tune into this episode. Here you will find encouragement, guidance, hear examples from real life experience and learn effective coping mechanisms when handling relationships that may not ever understand your expectations and boundaries.

"Increasing your tolerance for discomfort is how you master yourself. The difficult conversations, the uncomfortable silence, the adversity. This is where you grow the most. Learn to not only accept your discomfort, but to embrace it. Discomfort is the mystery of existence, just as comfort is".
These words brought me to question, how can we as people change our perspective on adversity and handle discomfort that typically comes during the holiday season when surrounded by various friends and family. In this episode I mention my own tendency to often lean avoidant by choosing not to acknowledge the truth when dealing with the people I love. I really had the belief that telling people what they wanted to hear was a form of love. I believed that my actions of avoiding difficult discussions, never rocking the boat, never making anyone uncomfortable, made me a good friend and family member.
This season I challenge you to face the situations you're running from with that loved one. Don't view this season of discomfort as a punishment in your life. This adversity is pushing you. This adversity is forcing you to be your most authentic self and you are becoming healed. The truth does not always feel good. Often we easily get offended or disregard the areas in our lives where we truly need improvement and where we still have room for growth.
It took several discussions, but recently I spoke to my mom about the ways I felt she abandoned my emotions. I was open and expressed how her recent words and actions made me feel. As much as I was triggered and angered by her actions of jumping to quick conclusions and what felt like she was putting me down, for once in my life I feel she finally understood my point of view. She apologized and we both agreed that it is okay to tell your loved ones "Im sorry I made you feel this way" even if you don't understand their ideals. If I chose to simply tell my mom what she wanted to hear or never acknowledge the ways I often felt gaslit by here, we would still be in the same unfortunate position, several months and years from now. It took me really leaning into my discomfort to show up as my authentic self, acknowledge why I've been triggered and effectively communicate with my mother from an emotional standpoint.
If you have been struggling with connection and find discomfort in your family dynamic, I want you to know that I see you. You are not alone. Find an outlet that allows you to face whats uncomfortable, whether that is having a difficult conversation, picking up the phone or simply journaling your emotions and experiences. Sometimes its the thing that does not feel god that we need to hear the most!
Recently one of the most major significant dates in several years has passed. November 11, date 11/11 in 2022! With the 111, 222 numeric symbols I felt this was an amazing time to record and share a very important message with you all. As stated, below are the positive affirmations stated in the beginning of the episode.
- My actions create constant prosperity and wealth.
- I love myself, I respect myself, I am proud of who I am!
3.I'm worthy of love & success. I deserve to be happy. - Its a new amazing day. Things are happening to me. New challenges to face, New victories to achieve.
5.Blessings are chasing me down. The right people and opportunities are coming into my life!
As the year comes to an end, I wanted to share with you all the personal fears Ive had to overcome and the miraculous events and opportunities that have presented themself to me in this awakening part of my journey. This recording truly holds a very special place in my heart because I've seen first hand how important it is to release your fears, in order to allow God and the Universe to give you exactly what you need.
Ive seen fear overcome some of my closest family members and ruin their lives. Ive seen fear keep me in a very depressed and dark state of mind. The moment I decided that fear and worry have no place in my life journey, is the moment I mentally freed myself from anguish. I had to learn the hard way that fear and manifestation CAN NOT exist in the same space. Yes it can be extremely difficult abandoning your fears and worry's but it is needed to draw in abundance into your life. We often fear our basic needs won't be met. We fear the unknown. We fear failure and financial instability. What if I told you that you were never meant to struggle. You were never meant to live in lack and difficulty. Abundance is your birthright! But in order to live abundantly you must trust and have faith in a power outside of yourself. You must have faith in what you cant see. You must release your fears and adopt genuine belief that everything gets to work out for you! The right doors will open. The right opportunities will present themself to you, but first, you must BELIEVE
This week I wanted to uncover what some would consider to be “battle scars”. How often do we acknowledge and celebrate ourselves for how far we've come. It takes so much strength and courage to make it through the things you've experienced and look nothing like it. Are you proud of yourself for winning certain life battles no one knows about? Who says we should feel shame and hide our pain? True victory becomes ours when we can be open and vulnerable about our life testimony.
I also dive into a topic that myself and many of my family members have had difficulty overcoming for years….the false perception of control. How many of us have done some pretty intrusive, crazy things because we believe we have to have power over every situation, every relationship, whether that be career or romantic. This belief that we can control all aspects of life isn't real!
I believe that none of the things we have in life are truly ours. However as people, this false sense of dominion, harming others in attempt to control what we think we own is misguided. Everything is borrowed, this time we have on earth, these bodies we consume. It is beyond crucial to do right by people while we have the time and to release the need for control to attain faith in God, the universe, whatever religious belief pertains to you. Not only is there freedom in this kind of release, there is also peace and helpfulness that arises when we stop being ashamed by what we have overcome in life.
This specific episode really tugs at my heart. I express how the teachings of my upbringing and specific personality characteristics of sensitivity and empathy somehow turned into a subconsciously abandonment of myself. Growing up I was always taught to "put others above myself". I grew up conditioned to believe that being a good person meant putting the needs, wants and emotions of others above myself at all times. Today I know that being overly empathetic, and extending large amounts of grace to people in certain relationships can be a hinderance in our lives.
I discuss how my genuine empathetic nature of constantly caring about how others feel about me, led to me not being my authentic self; it led to me not speaking my truth, me not having any boundaries and honestly led to my lack of self love. How often do we make excuses for the ones we care about? We excuse their emotional immaturity, we excuse their poor communication skills and toxic habits. When do we learn that not being everything for everyone is okay. When do we learn that our efforts of constantly trying to help others can get in the way of us truly helping ourselves.
Too much of anything is never good. In this episode is all things duality. We will analyze toxic empathy in relationships, healthy boundaries, how to build self love and how to honor our true selves so that we can effectively honor others.
I decided to take a moment this week to focus on collective unhappiness that seems to happen during this time of year. I often hear the words "I'm seasonally depressed" from friends and family. It saddens me to notice that rather than work on healthy habits and coping mechanisms for this pain, we often accept these feelings of anxiety and depression as unchangeable.
I believe that we have the power to overcome all mental angst and discomfort regardless of the time of year and or personal circumstances. In this episode I analyze the thinking that keeps us bound in negativity and discuss options that will help you effectively maintain peace through continued effort and consistency.
We will talk all things gratitude, releasing the thief of your joy and abandoning negative thoughts that keep us in bondage. Ultimately we are what we think! If you struggle with anxiety and depression I challenge you to actively practice more gratitude in your every day life. Keep a log of your inner thoughts to monitor how you truly feel about yourself and how you speak to yourself. Replace anger with thankfulness and I guarantee you will see drastic changes in your life.
One night as I sat in my car exhausted after work, I noticed in a split second, just how amazing the stars looked from my moonroof view. It was in this exact moment that I realized, I have not been truly present in months. How many people remember how content they were as a child just to look up at the sky and guess what shapes you saw in the clouds. Maybe you remember taking time as a child to find the constellations in the stars with a telescope. This made me ask myself what other simple childlike pleasures have I denied myself? When did I stop being present and looking up at the stars in the sky? When did I become a robotic workaholic?
In this episode I use a sick day off from work, just to go for a walk and pour back into myself. It's amazing what you notice when you’re fully present. On my drive to the park I found a never before seen community refrigerator. A fridge conveniently tucked behind a bodega with free food available for the community. At this point, the theme of my self care day was clear to me. What a beautiful simple act of kindness that probably goes un-noticed by many. The impact of this beautiful initiative made me wonder what can I do to help give back and contribute to the people in my community.
During my walk in the park I took time to write in my manifestation journal, meditate and talk to God. When you quiet the outside noise, center yourself and allow yourself to hear from God, the universe, a higher power, whatever you believe in; the universe will respond. Take a moment to ask yourself what areas in your life have you not been present for? What has consumed your worries? In my time alone I realized there is greed, a need for personal success and physical possessions that I needed to work on. I needed to acknowledged where my treasure lay in my life and where my heart laid.
To anyone thats listening, I hope you gain a deeper understanding of the importance of disconnecting from the world, to truly reconnect with yourself.
I want to take a moment to acknowledge any one who has subscribed or followed me on this healing journey. For anyone that has seen improvement in their self awareness, you are truly doing the work, you are a fighter, you are worthy and you will manifest the life of your dreams!
On this episode I will vulnerably open up about the current transition period I'm experiencing. The uncomfortable feeling that comes with unexpected transitions can be extremely overwhelming; however Ive learned that in those hard times, you don't need to feel defeated! Actually on the contrary, its important for you to get excited because after the storm there is sunshine!
We all experience seasons in our lives that are meant to build us in different ways. There is a season to sow seed, and a season to reap your harvest. If you have been sowing seed, going to therapy, unlearning unhealthy habits that no longer serve you and putting out positivity and love into the universe, I guarantee your harvest is closer than you think!
I hope this episode teaches anyone who is experiencing dark times, that sometimes you need to let somethings and some people go. I hope someone learns that releasing what unhealthy, releasing what no longer serves you, WILL benefit you in the end. This season you’re in is not meant to break you, its meant to break the things getting in your way. What’s not meant for you needs to break in order to make space for better to enter your life. To whoever is listening, you aren’t alone. We can all take the necessary steps towards fulfillment and peace. Your harvest is coming!
Lots of self help and life coaches provide their clients with guidance and motivation to help them create the life they want to live. They stress the importance of certain psychological processes and help people manifest their dreams; but what about the weeks when we aren't motivated? What about the weeks where theres been a sudden change to your lifes blueprint or you start to question the direction your life is heading in. Maybe you've started worrying about whether your manifestations will happen and what it will truly take to get there. We all have off days, even off weeks. What can we do when negative thinking starts to take over?
In my own current life I'm learning to adjust to many changes happening in my career. Changes with the team I work with, management and my daily job specifications. Expectations and work culture has drastically shifted since I joined the company. I've been more frequently questioning not only my position, but also my purpose and future career goals, asking myself what will truly fulfill me in the long run and how I should move forward.
If you are experiencing any of the above worries, maybe you're having a difficult time at work, or difficulty managing your thoughts to avoiding emotional overwhelm, this episode is for you! I will discuss the best steps you can take to gain peace even when you don't have all the answers. There are a handful of simple efficient ways you can get through rough times in life .
In this episode we will be analyzing how much power there is in practicing gratitude, being still, giving yourself a timeline and speaking up and using healthy communication styles. Ultimately peace, joy and fulfillment is your birth right! You deserve it and it can be yours by practicing a few helpful tips.
The newest read thats really been enchanting me is Hector Garcias and Francesc Miralles, "Ikigai" The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life. At first I began to see this ideology broken down in a venn diagram on social media. The principles immediately caught my attention. Each piece of the all encompassing puzzle was listed as "what you’re good at, what you love, what the world needs and what you can be paid for." A few short weeks later I was drawn to a book with the same title which at the point I knew I was in alignment and spirit was sending me a gift, to truly be receptive of this information
On this episode we will discuss a Japanese way of life practiced in one of the worlds most famous blue zones. I'll analyze the proven benefits of this Japanese way of life and the miracles seen within this community of people who have developed a strong sense of self worth within their Ikigai. I also introduce several purpose based therapies, Mauritian therapy and Logo therapy. Both of which guide patients away from mental illness and towards spiritual fullfillment.
There is no quick fix to achieve happiness, however we can apply certain daily habits and find true fulfillment within doing what we love, what we’re good at, what we can give to the world and what we can be paid for. Ask yourself when you’re truly the happiest. Ask yourself what gives you the drive to keep going, THAT is your Ikigai

As much as anyone who is on the self love/healing journey wants to believe a positive mindset helps us get through hard times, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed by life's responsibilities and unfortunate events. Although we can not control negative outside forces that arise from time to time, we can control how we regulate our thoughts, feelings and reactions to these circumstances.
The past few weeks I've been using the "Soothing Pod" app religiously. (Please note this is not a sponsored advertisement and I'm not being funded or compensated in anyway)
This app is such a helpful tool when you need reminders to center yourself while not letting difficult burdens ruin your state of mind and wellbeing. When I notice myself overthinking or having any consuming thoughts outside of grace and acceptance, I listen to a guided meditation theme.
If you are currently experiencing any of the above, please take a short 10 minutes of your day to close your eyes and meditate with me. This is a relaxing meditative guide that will help ease the mind, heart and spirit. The Soothing Pod app can be found on any apple app store platforms. Link is listed below:

Married at first sight, love is blind, ready to love, 90 day fiance, love island, the bachelor, the bachelorette, millionaire match maker, temptation island, courtship....there is a never ending list of shows on TV where people make desperate decisions for love. Yes marriage and love can be a wonderful source of happiness and joy but it can also be the greatest source of pain and discomfort in our lives when we choose to be with someone thats not in alignment with our journey.
In this episode I will discuss the reasons behind the love we search for, the important questions to ask ourselves. Discovering who our full selves are in order to maintain a healthy love and unlearning this idea culture has provided that we are somehow incomplete without a relationship. When you are in a rush to get anywhere, the odds of damage and chaos are at extreme heights.
I am breaking downs ways for singles to be happy today. Ways for singles to find pure joy in the journey and to have peace with their current circumstances and lives. You will have the love you desire but first ask yourself if the relationship that you're seeking is helping you to achieve the best version of yourself or if it a relationship that is creating misery in your life. There are ways you can be happy today! You don't have to rush to the finish line of life to be happy
At first I started off the week unmotivated; being really hard on myself and my manifestation journey. I've been impatient and sad asking myself a million questions. What if manifesting is not working? What if I'm not doing it right? How long is it going to take? And if I'm truly doing the inner work and committing myself to healing, why do I still feel this way?
In this episode I will discuss my doubts and impatience when it comes to manifesting the life I desire. I dissect many of the unfavorable and difficult aspects of healing I felt no one ever mentioned or prepared me for. This episode is a thorough analyzation of the many ups and downs one experiences within the self awareness journey and important steps we can all take to stop out sourcing our happiness and live with true joy and faith in the journey and the unknown.
Rather than focusing on results and the things you have not manifested yet, focus on what it will feel like when your manifestations do come to life. How does achieving your truest desire make you feel and how can you take steps today to truly embody your dream life? Healing is almost never pretty and manifestation is not an easy streamline process. The journey wont always feel good but if you learn that happiness is a choice, not a destination you only arrive upon when life looks perfect and learn to have faith in what you know you truly deserve; it can and will help you tremendously!
In this episode I do an even deeper dive into "The Body Keeps Score" and discuss traumatized client testimonials as well as trauma I've experienced in my own life. Having self awareness and accepting/acknowledging our trauma is the key to making this world a better place. If we never seek healing, our body will store the trauma we so badly want to release, causing you to subconsciously move through life traumatizing others.
Webster defines trauma as anything that is "a deeply depressing or disturbing experience". When was the last time you felt deep pain? Whether it be emotional, physical or mental discomfort. What did it make you feel and how did you choose to handle it?
We all experience various traumas in life and most times at no fault of our own.
Throughout this discussion I analyze the deep effects this can have if you do not seek to empower yourself and acknowledge your pain. If you continue to suppress emotions and move through life as if your trauma never existed, it can have detrimental permanent effects on your body. This episode is my attempt to teach and learn with others, healthy steps we can take to avoid becoming the pain that has traumatized
us.
It’s part of our human nature and genetic makeup to want to have connections with others and feel safe within a community. Relationships that provide safety can be the purest form of peace and support...but what happens when the people around us make us feel unsafe. How do we navigate the relationships that we desire without falling victim to keeping people and situations around that threaten our peace?
In this episode I will discuss the beginning of my therapy journey, what routes Ive taken to make sure I am at peace and how l learned to trust the divine timing of my life. Yes extreme loneliness can cause mental breakdown but If you do not learn to be by yourself, learn to find comfort in solitude and learning/knowing who you are, then you may be keeping the wrong people around to avoid feeling lonely.
What if I told you that life is a gift! No matter what you gain or lose, God/the universe/ whatever higher power you believe in, has given you the ultimate gift; LIFE! If you can change your perspective on how you view loss, it can change your life
If you recently began your healing journey or have begun sessions with a therapist, I believe this episode is the best place to begin understanding nature vs. nurture, emotional maturity, attachment styles and childhood wounds.
Dr. Lindsay C. Gibson, author of "Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents" has written a life changing work that opens your eyes to not only understanding ourselves but also dissecting our family structures, culture and parenting/upbringing that proves emotional immature parenting has long term affects on our adult lives.
Dr. Lindsay C. Gibson places all people into two categorizes based on the parenting they received and uncovers why it is so important to understand what unmet needs you had as a child.
In this discussion we will analyze the difference between our TRUE selves and the ROLE selves we create, so that we do end turbulent cycles of pushing our healing fantasies onto adult friendships and relationships
Being and feeling truly vulnerable with an audience is the main reason I did not begin this podcast sooner. Often when we think of being a powerful woman, we don't believe that we should represent anything but strength. In this episode I open up about my fears, limiting beliefs and familial wounds. I want my viewers to understand that YES I am human, we all are. I am most definitely imperfect but there is no place for healing without vulnerability. Being vulnerable with one another creates a certain presence of relatability, community and love. Being vulnerable also shows that you release any guilt or shame associated with your healing journey.
On Her Authentic Self we encourage women to be open and real about their life stories. When we are vulnerable with one another, we are able to empower one another as women. I encourage you to be vulnerable and heal because it is vulnerability that makes us strong!
