This episode may be the conversation you've been avoiding- but your healing has been waiting for.

Season Four begins with a truth many women have lived — but few have been given language for.

This episode is about the quiet cycles we stay in long after we’ve outgrown them…
The silence we call “peace”…
The needs we learn to swallow…
And the patterns that only change when we do.

Through honest reflection and lived wisdom, Shantel shares what three marriages taught her about:

• Why lust is not love
• Why loneliness can’t be healed by having someone in your bed
• Why children are not a reason to stay in unhappy marriages
• Why seasons end — and sometimes the book itself closes
• The difference between human mistakes and destructive patterns
• What it really means to love yourself, speak your needs, and set boundaries
• And how anchoring your life in God changes everything

This is an episode about reclaiming your voice, your worth, and your peace.

Because silence doesn’t keep relationships safe —
it keeps cycles alive.

And cycles only break when we finally choose truth.

🎧 Full episode begins here.

A Spirit & Soul Sunday episode about forged peace, living proof, and Papa meeting you in the stillness.

In this Spirit & Soul Sunday, Shantel shares what happens when God tests the very word you just released — and instead of fear rising up, peace sits down beside you.

From Psalm 119:165 to the meaning of “martys,” from a loan denial that touched the future of Royalicious to a miracle that fed families in the middle of the pause, this episode is not theory — it is evidence.

If you are walking through delay, disappointment, unanswered questions, or a season where nothing is moving, this is your invitation back into Presence. Because peace isn’t found when everything works out. Peace is found when Papa meets you in the pause.

Scriptures referenced: Isaiah 6:6–7, Acts 1:8, Psalm 119:165, Romans 8:15, Galatians 4:6, John 14:27

In this Spirit & Soul Sunday teaching, Shantel breaks down what it really means to live “Jesus over everything” — not as a caption, but as a conviction.
If you’ve been running, panicking, carrying too much, or trying to control outcomes God never asked you to manage… this message will speak straight to your spirit.

We dig into:
• why we run when life gets uncomfortable
• how panic pulls us out of Presence
• what happens when we don’t ask Jesus first
• discernment vs. distraction
• the posture of kneeling
• suffering, refinement, and spiritual endurance
• how God uses fire to form witnesses, not victims

Shantel also shares a raw, real-time testimony about the mini cakes God used to test her obedience — a journey of flops, frustration, surrender, and breakthrough that mirrors the very message she teaches.

Made in the fire…
but tasting like softness.
Just like you.

If you’re in a refining season or learning how to trust God in the middle of the unknown, this episode will give you language, clarity, and peace for the path you’re on.

And if you want to try the luxury plant-based mini cakes mentioned in this episode — the ones born out of obedience and perseverance — you can pre-order them now on the Royalicious website.

Press play, breathe deep, and let this word realign your heart:
Jesus over everything — in your choices, your timing, your reactions, your relationships, your healing… and your becoming.

Glow Inside, Shine Outside — Episode: “It’s Okay to Not Be Okay — But It’s Never Okay to Not Be Authentic”

We talk a lot about being strong… but what about being real?
In this episode, Shantel gets honest about the cost of pretending and the freedom that comes when you stop performing peace and start pursuing truth.

Through raw storytelling, gentle wisdom, and her own recent moment of surrender on the floor of her unfinished store, Shantel invites you to release the need to “hold it together” and let God meet you where you actually are — not where you pretend to be.

If your soul feels tired, this one’s for you.
You’ll walk away reminded that:
✨ Healing starts with honesty.
✨ Peace doesn’t mean people-pleasing.
✨ Grace breathes where truth is welcome.

It’s okay to not be okay.
But it’s never okay to stop being authentic. 💗

Sometimes God sits you down to remind you: it’s not about the mic, it’s about the towel. In this episode, Shantel opens up about the weight of vision, the heartbreak of misalignment, and how resting in Jesus brought resurrection power in her own life.

What do you do when the person doesn’t respond the way you thought they would — and the silence feels like sorrow?

This episode goes beneath the surface of heartbreak and into the heart of Jesus, the Man of Sorrows. It’s about the press — the crushing that produces oil. The moments where your tears become intercession, your grief becomes love, and your breaking becomes the place His presence flows through.

Because intimacy with Jesus isn’t just peace.
It’s ache.
It’s pressing.
It’s oil.
It’s love you have never felt before, a Love that wont let go.

✨ REST: The Invitation Behind the Ache ✨

What if the ache you’re carrying isn’t punishment—it’s an invitation?

In this raw and soul-stirring episode, Shantel opens up about the headache that brought her to her knees—and how God used it to reveal the deeper meaning of rest. This isn’t about naps, vacations, or hustle culture breaks. It’s about crucifying the part of us that keeps striving in the flesh so His Spirit can finally breathe through us.

Through her own story, her grandmother’s testimony, and the words of Paul, Shantel reveals the beauty (and the pain) of dying to the flesh daily. You’ll hear how rest is less about where you are and more about how you surrender—and why the ache in your body, heart, or spirit might be the very place God is inviting you to lay it all down.

If you’ve been running on empty, hustling for worth, or mistaking exhaustion for holiness, this episode is your reminder: the ache is not the end of you—it’s the end of your flesh. The rest you’ve been searching for comes through surrender.

Have you ever come back from vacation more tired than when you left? That was me. What started as a headache turned into an invitation from God: stop striving and finally rest. In this episode, I share how three simple things — blueberry oatmeal, pineapple cucumber mint juice, and mineral water with pink Himalayan salt — became medicine for my body and a reset for my soul. This isn’t just about food; it’s about listening when your body is signaling you and recognizing that rest isn’t optional. It’s sacred.
