One of the hardest things I've ever had to do...
The idea of surrendering seems like something only the weak do, an indicator that I didn’t want it bad enough, or that I didn’t simply have what took to get to my goal. But that couldn't be further from the truth. Surrendering takes a deep-seated belief that first, my humanity will fail me and second there is something greater and more powerful backing me. Listen to the show opener with a confession on surrendering from award-winning journalist and The Good Girl Podcast host, Cameo King. Cameo walks you through the delicate dance and tussle that happens right at the intersection of control & God, before the surrender. Be sure you stay connected

The 3 reasons why I still wasn't prioritizing myself
This week’s confession is all about me: It’s about my inability to consistently choose myself in ALL things.

So this week, I share three reasons why I still continue to put myself second and how it's holding me back.

The Cost of Following Your Dreams
I get it. I get why people quit. Especially after you’ve been patient, been praying, been waiting, been working for years--- I’m not saying 2 or 3 years or even 5. I’m saying you’re coming up on a decade or maybe even surpassed a decade of working towards something. I also understand more deeply when there is an eruption of celebration for lasting in business, friendships, or dreams coming to fruition. Because it’s not always the beginning of a thing that speaks of its greatness but it’s the consistency, the growth, and longevity. Because most of the time the victor has bruised, marred face – from getting back in the ring again, again, and again.
