In this episode, we affirm our freedom to choose ourselves — to rest without apology, to grow beyond what no longer fits, to walk away when peace is calling our name.

As we close this year, we let go of shame and step boldly into a new season filled with purpose, confidence, and self-love.

My friends, 2026 will be a year of powerful transformation. You are evolving into the best version of yourself, and guilt will no longer hold you back from your dreams.

Keep trusting, keep breathing, and keep walking in your greatness.

This episode is about letting go without guilt so you can reclaim your peace and live a more fulfilling life.

Letting go does not mean you don’t care, that you are bitter, or that you are cutting people off. It means releasing unrealistic expectations, emotional labor, and the need for validation from people who have shown you they are unwilling or unable to give it.

Many of us stay in unhealthy relationships out of loyalty, history, fear of being seen as difficult, or hope that others will change. But endurance is not emotional health, and sacrifice should never come at the cost of self-respect.

In this episode, I share practical ways to let go with compassion and remind you of this truth: you are not required to keep shrinking to keep others comfortable. You are not disloyal for choosing peace, and you are not difficult for needing respect. Choosing yourself gently is unapologetic.

In episode 186, I invite you into a safe and intentional space where we slow down, breathe deeply, and speak life over this new year. Together, we affirm the truth that 2026 will bring about change and prosperity in every area of our lives.

This episode reminds us that it is not just about New Year’s resolutions, but about being intentional—about our words, our faith, and our actions.

2026 holds promise, purpose, and prosperity. This episode encourages you to remain hopeful, optimistic, and confident, knowing that greatness lives within you. Because you were created for greatness—and without you, there is no greatness.

Be blessed. 💛

In this episode, I invite you into a safe and grounded space to breathe deeply, be present, and affirm the importance of boundaries in your life. When you are kind, loving, and generous, there may be people who try to cross your boundaries or take advantage of your heart.

This episode is a reminder that protecting yourself is not selfish—it is necessary. Boundaries are powerful gatekeepers that help protect your mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health, and they allow you to say no without guilt or explanation.

In this episode, I invite you to settle into a place of safety as we journey together through the affirmation, “I am open to the newness of my life.”

My friends, this newness is already reaching for you—new love, new peace, new health, new connections, and new opportunities waiting to be received.

When your heart, mind, and spirit are open, you position yourself for the greater that is coming. Remain in this place of safety, my friends, and remember: you are open, you are worthy, and you are empowered for greatness—because without greatness, there is no you, and without you, there is absolutely no greatness.

Sometimes we think that when God doesn’t answer right away, it means something is wrong with us or that we’re being ignored — but that’s not the truth. When your blessing takes time, it’s because God is preparing you and preparing what you asked for.

You are right where you need to be, and the work happening in you is just as important as the blessing you’re praying for.

Some things take time because the person you’re becoming needs to meet the blessing you’re praying for — emotionally, spiritually, and mentally. So don’t rush the process.

In Episode 182, I guided you through the affirmation “I am prioritizing my life now.” I reminded you that so many of us give endlessly — to our children, our partners, our families, our friends, and even to strangers — and often we forget to pour back into ourselves. I encouraged you to pause, breathe deeply, and look at your own life to see where you need care, rest, and kindness.

Prioritizing yourself is not selfish; it is necessary. You cannot pour from an empty cup, and you deserve to be full, restored, and renewed. God has given you one life, one body, and even He modeled rest for us. Today, I asked you to choose you.

And as always, be empowered for greatness — because without greatness, there is no you, and without you, there is absolutely no greatness. God bless, until we meet again.

In this episode, I want to speak to the part of you that has ever felt the need to explain, prove, or justify your worth. I know what it feels like to make yourself smaller so that someone else can feel comfortable, to question your value just to gain approval.

But today, that stops. You are worthy, you are enough, and you do not need anyone’s permission to stand tall in your truth.

As we breathe together, I invite you to let go of people-pleasing, self-doubt, and the urge to seek validation. Let it all fall away and rest in the peace that comes with self-acceptance. You are no longer the one who shrinks to make others feel bigger. You are whole, powerful, and beautifully worthy.

Be empowered for greatness, my friends, because without greatness there’s no you — and without you, there’s absolutely no greatness.
