Everyone envisions meeting "the one" as a magical experience, but when your heart has been broken many times before, meeting your person isn't always rainbows and butterflies in your perspective. This episode recounts the road leading up to meeting my husband and our journey of exploration of true love for the very first time.

Waiting on the One

I pause my planned content today to bring you the voices of two dear friends of mine as they share with us how to love more deeply and intentionally during the movements occuring with the black community today. Kinte and Kerri are vulnerable, raw, and transparent as they share their hearts and insight as a means to educate and inform all of us of what it means to listen more and love deeper right now and always.

Relearning How to Love Those Who are Different Than Us

Guilt is real and deep rooted. People carry around the weight of guilt in many ways and it can be overwhelming, but can be overcome. Relearning what love is means first chiseling away at any guilt and shame in order to forgive yourself and let go of the past. There is freedom waiting when these chains are broken.

Overcoming Guilt

You may be a friend to many, but are you truly letting others love you well? Or are you setting up walls and barriers to accepting goodness and love in return? Forming reciprocated trusting relationships can be difficult, but perfect love casts out all fear in this journey.

Just Close Enough

In my first episode of the new season "Relearning What Love Is," I share how prevalent fatherlessness is in our society and the effects it has on self-image and future relationships. Girls look to their fathers as the first example of love. Sinking into Christ's love can truly transform the daddy-daughter image and reform the foundation of future relationships in a healing way.

Daddy Issues

The journey we go on to overcome past trauma begins with us but doesn't end there. It is important to overcome in order to change the trajectory for your life, others' lives, and future generations. The work you are doing is a BIG DEAL. Celebrate as I close my last episode of season 1 and invite you to join me for season 2 beginning in a few short weeks!

Compound Effect

If you have been walked out on by someone who was supposed to love you, you have felt the real pain of abandonment. Abandonment can happen in different types of relationships and can filter into feelings of unworthiness and tension in other relationships. It doesn't have to stay this way. You can validate your wounds, rid yourself of shame, and leave your chains behind you.

Abandonment

1 in 9 girls under the age of 18 has experienced sexual abuse or assault at the hands of an adult. You are not alone. Sexual Assault hindered me and prevented me from real intimacy in my life. Come as you learn about my story and practical ways to grow in intimacy in life and with Christ.

Physical Touch

Trauma triggers stimulate your brain and prompt recall of past trauma. Traumas that you experience leave imprints on your brain and when something happens in your life today that prompts you to be triggered, it is worth looking at, reflecting over, and learning how to lessen the hit or remove it altogether from occurring in your life.

Trauma Triggers

Codependency can form early on in a person's life and it stems from dysfunctional relationships and patterns that form. Codependency can stem from a relationship with a parent, child, significant other, and more. Let's explore what this looks like and feels like and work towards setting healthy personal boundaries.

Codependency

If you have endured trauma, there are certain survival skills you had to learn to help you mold or adapt to your circumstances. As we get older, we realize that these survival skills no longer serve us anymore and we must "unlearn" them to be successful adults. Let's uncover your survival skills and discuss a five-way system to untangling yourself from them.
