Men are begging women for money // Oversharing on social media // Dealing with disappointment
In this episodeI’m unpacking three big conversations: the controversy around men asking women for money. Why has this sparked so much outrage?Also Jesus just needs to come get us. Crazy things are happening From there, I shift into a more personal space—oversharing on the internet and what we choose to keep private in a world that encourages constant transparency.Speaking of oversharing, there are
May 🌸 Birthday Month… Gratitude // Anything is possible black child

Him being on tour with B2k.. That lit something in me… Confirmation. Confirmation that dreams are real, and they’re closer than we think. His gratitude to God lit some
The seasons of Iife nobody prepares you for
There are seasons of life nobody prepares you for.Not even life itself will prepare you for them.The seasons where things don’t look the way you imagined (The life you thought you’d be living vs reality)The seasons where prayers feel delayed and everyone around you seems to be moving forward.The seasons where you question everything.Just because your life looks different right now doesn’t mean you
When will you marry ? // Embracing Change // God Restores
So… when are you getting married?’ A question many hear, but few talk about the pressure behind it. As if marriage is as easy as drinking water Thou shall not stress anybody about marriage. I briefly talked about embracing seasons of change, and trusting that God restores the years we feel we’ve lost, because with God, your story is never late — He is the God of suddenly.Love and light Ri

Christmas as an adult
T’is the season to be jolly 🎄I don’t know if it’s just me or Christmas hasn’t really been the same lately.Maybe because I’m an adult now. Maybe because life isn’t as easy as it was when I was younger. Maybe because I’m not looking forward to Santa. Can’t exactly pin point what it is but I truly want the Christmas spark back.In this episode I’m discussing Christmas as an adult. We’re kinda responsi
Ending the year with gratitude // Advise for my corporate people
We’re inching towards the end of 2025.

Health stress // Don’t let loneliness lead you back to people God has removed from your life // A healing conversation with my Dad
In this episode I briefly touch on my health ( currently going through it, pray for me)Also the main topic is loneliness leading you back to people that God has removed from your life.
