In this episode, I’m reminding you of one powerful truth: don’t take it personal.

Most of the time, when people snap, criticize, or pull away, it’s not really about you—it’s about the battles they’re fighting within themselves.

That’s projection, and it shows up when people drop their heavy bags of trauma, fear, or stress onto whoever is closest. The good news is, you don’t have to carry what doesn’t belong to you.

I share four ways to protect your peace: pause before reacting, build empathy, strengthen your boundaries, and anchor in your worth.

Your peace is too precious to hand over, and their words or moods don’t define who you are. So when someone comes at you sideways, take a breath, stand in your worth, and keep showing up as your authentic, empowered self.

In Episode 173 I invite you to journey with me into the affirmation “I am still.”

So often, we are running, chasing dreams, and caught up in the noise of life that leaves us anxious, frustrated, and restless. But this moment is about slowing down, quieting the chatter in your mind, and finding peace through stillness.

Together, we breathe deeply, release distractions, and open ourselves to hear the voice of God guiding us toward calm and clarity.

This episode is your reminder that stillness is possible. It may not happen overnight, but with practice, affirmations, and meditation, you can train your heart and mind to rest.

My friends, you are worth it. You are worthy of peace, worthy of quiet, and worthy of a safe space to simply be. Take this journey with me, and let’s step into the power of being still.

In this episode, we’re diving into something that weighs heavy on so many of us—self-criticism.

How often do you find yourself replaying mistakes, comparing yourself to others, or calling yourself names you’d never say to anyone else?

That negative self-talk doesn’t push you forward, it keeps you stuck. It robs you of energy, motivation, and peace. But here’s the truth—you don’t have to keep beating yourself up. You are already worthy, already enough, and already equipped to walk in purpose.

My friends, when you give yourself the same grace you so freely give to others, you change the way you see yourself and the way you live your life.
