Luxury, relaxation, and no worries. This “soft lifestyle” trend has taken our world by storm in a multitude of ways that has shaped the way we wish to live our lives today. Yet, behind the glitz and glamour that this lifestyle offers, lies a hidden truth about this ideal. Is everything that we are being shown through social media and real life not worth uncovering? That’s for us to discover today on this weeks conversation as we ask ourselves “Should we get rid of the soft lifestyle or fix it”?

“As soon as I stop worrying, worrying how the story ends, when I let go and I let God, let God have His way”.- DeWayne WoodsWhat a year it has been. To 2024, it was fun but it’s time to leave it all behind and transition into the new year, but differently. Before we make those prayer boards, I feel it’s time to let go, genuinely, let go of the things, people, and places that no longer serve us before God propels us into the new respective seasons He has planned for us in 2025. What do I mean by this, you might ask.As we close out the year, this conversation invites you into a heartfelt journey of surrender and renewal. Through a guided reflection, biblical encouragement, and a 'shed session' prayer, we will embrace the process of releasing what no longer serves us and stepping into God’s sovereign plan for the new year. Are you ready to surrender your worries to His feet and watch what He does in your life? This is “Surrender + Renewal: A 2024 Eulogy”, a conversation to end 2024 on the “People’s Princess Podcast”: the only home for intimate and intentional conversations designed to make YOU feel like royalty!If you enjoyed this conversation on the podcast, please be sure to leave a review, rate the podcast, share to anyone who you believe will enjoy this space, provide any suggestions for future conversations, or even to become a guest host on the podcast!

Have you ever heard the statement "Never question God on anything that happens"? Believe me, I have heard this myself many times growing up. It's even as if when we get confused with things that happen to us, we can't not only be concerned, but upset about it because of how He can be upset at us for expressing our emotions. However, this is farther from the case.
In today's society, especially with the events occuring around the recent results of the United States election, mental health, and a plethora of issues concerning our world today, we tend to find ourselves not being able to talk to anyone without being judged or scrutinized, specificially in the Christian community. So, the question that lies on the table is this: "Can we really talk to God about our emotions"? Join us today as we discover the depths beyond this topic all while carefully dissecting the myths and conceptions of being a Christian and recognizing the importance of our mental health.
If you enjoyed this conversation on the podcast, please be sure to participate in our poll(only for Spotify listeners), leave a review, provide any suggestions for future conversations, or even to become a guest host on the podcast! We value all constructive feedback and hope you return to the palace again soon.
