Did you know that 95% of people are settling for less than God's best for their lives? Y'all, we've got to break free from this comfort culture that's keeping us stuck! In this episode, we go deeper on what we started in part one. We're talking about breaking free from the ramifications of the soft life. This comfort culture and pursuit of ease is keeping us from stepping boldly into the life we were designed to live - a life of purpose, passion, and yes, prosperity. Breaking free from the soft life isn't about rejecting comfort. It's about exercising courage and embracing God's grace. It...

While the "soft life" promises comfort and minimal stress…it might actually be the reason you're stuck and not fulfilling your true potential. This lifestyle trend might be holding you back. In today's episode, we're tackling the soft life—a trend that's been sweeping social media since 2022, especially among young African American women. It's all about prioritizing comfort, relaxation, and minimal stress. But here's the catch: while it sounds divine, it can subtly trap high-performing women like us into settling and playing small. We end up choosing comfort over our calling and pleasure...

Did you know that many high-achieving women often feel stuck, not because they lack ability, but because they are afraid of change? I've heard this idea for about three weeks straight from various high-achieving women: they feel like they are stuck in their current circumstances, unable to find their rhythm. If you feel like you're stuck, you're not. You're scared. Listen as I share three things you can do right now to help you find your rhythm, even if you're in a season of tension, transition, or extreme triumph. Change is scary. But you can find your rhythm by embracing the change. I ...

Are you caught in life's whirlwind, feeling like a stranger to yourself? Isn't it shocking how often we fall into the trap of believing that our best can only be discovered through endless struggle and striving? As high-performing Christian women, we often find ourselves caught in the snare of three powerful lies that consistently hold us back from truly living a significant life. But here's the liberating truth - you are not the accomplishments you achieve nor the failures you encounter. Your value and worth go far beyond these worldly measurements. Don't let these lies hold you back any...

Are you caught in life's whirlwind, feeling like a stranger to yourself? Today, I'm peeling back the layers on a seldom discussed topic -- the perilous impact of losing sight of who you truly are amidst life's chaos. In our fast-paced world, filled with endless responsibilities and external expectations, it's all too easy to become disconnected from our authentic selves. The hustle and bustle of life don't define you. Just recently, I came face to face with a startling realization - I had lost touch with the woman who wrote my book. I lost touch with myself. This year’s Mother's Day gift,...

You know that saying, "It takes a village to raise a child?" Well, what about the dad? Dads are crucial, but sometimes it can feel like there's no roadmap for this whole fatherhood thing. Being a dad is more than just biology – it's about stepping into a calling. But how do we navigate this journey, especially when there's so much conflicting advice out there? In this episode, I had the amazing opportunity to chat with my husband, Maurice, Pastor Mo, and we dug deep into what it really means to be a father from a God-centered perspective. It's not about being perfect, but about...
