How do you navigate the holidays when grief is a close companion? If you’ve experienced a significant loss, then you know what it’s like for the holiday season to feel more like a sorrowful time of year than a wonderful one.   My mother passed away in December 2019. This last month of the [...]
Do you remember when you first fell in love with God? When your heart was on fire and you did everything you could to draw close to Him? The moments of getting to know someone are so special in the beginning because you understand the value of spending time together. But after a [...]
Twelve minutes a day. That’s all you need in order to read the entire Bible in one year. So why is it so important to commit to reading God’s word consistently? After all, connecting with God through Scripture is how intimacy with God is formed. Much like learning about a loved one through [...]
Have you ever felt like you were spinning out of control? Sometimes, anxiety can make you feel as though you can’t slow down no matter how hard you try. But that feeling isn’t always rooted in reality; it’s often rooted in your perception of reality. Don’t get me wrong, there are definitely times [...]
Are you tired of putting on your superwoman cape for everyone and everything?  As a woman, I can certainly identify with feeling overrun and overworked. And specifically, as a Black woman, the pressure to constantly be strong can feel downright debilitating. Now, this experience isn’t a new phenomenon for the women in my [...]
What is keeping you from walking in your full authority? No matter what may be holding you back, with God and with time, you can find your stride again. As a woman who wears many hats, I have to be intentional about tethering myself to God through every season so that as life [...]
Do you know that as a daughter of the King, you are royalty? Yes, you!  I know it’s easy to forget this truth in the hustle and bustle of daily life, but it’s one we need to hold onto.  Let’s be real. Life can be rough.  Along the way, many of us balance [...]
When was the last time you allowed yourself to dream? I know that life can cause you to silence the desires of your heart. Sometimes, it takes the wisdom of someone who has gone before you to remind you to dream again. My “Aunt Jo” is that source of wisdom for me. She’s [...]
Do you ever feel like life is one big to-do list that never seems to get shorter? Have you been searching for the perfect planner, the ultimate system, or that one life hack that will finally help you “do it all” and “do it right?”  We live in a world that celebrates optimization [...]
Sometimes, I look at the women in my life, and I can see it all in their eyes. The anxiety, the fear, and the worry are evident without them saying a word. We girls often carry the weight of the world on our shoulders and the worry that often comes with it. No [...]
Have the wounds of rejection caused you to believe you’re not enough? Maybe rejection has left you feeling that you will never be enough. Never enough for your family to accept you. Never enough to be included in the friend group. Never enough for the promotion you’ve worked so hard for.  If you [...]
How did I celebrate the 500th episode of my podcast? By taking a trip down memory lane with my one and only sister, Priscilla Shirer, of course! On this special episode of The Sister Circle Podcast, I sat in the hot seat while Priscilla interviewed me. She’s my personal cheerleader, and even though [...]
Are you in a season of new experiences at every turn? If you’re struggling with making sense of your current situation, know that it’s okay to do so without shame. After all, every single woman you know is navigating something. Maybe you’re a new mom learning how to care for a little one [...]
Are you aware of the impact you have on others? I’m often caught off guard (in the best way possible) when someone tells me that something I said helped them in some way. Even if no one has told you yet, the wisdom that you have to share with others matters as well. [...]
Are you terrified of making the wrong decisions? When choosing whether to walk into a new space or out of your current one, feelings of uncertainty can convince you that you’re better off not making a decision at all. Many of us are tasked with making choices at every turn. The fatigue that [...]
Is it time for you to set boundaries in your friendships? I know this is a deep question, so let’s break this thing all the way down. Let me start by saying this: It’s also okay for you to communicate your limits with your acquaintances and even your besties.  Not only is it [...]
For many moms, the idea of homeschooling sounds nice, but it can feel too far out of reach. And I get it. Teaching kids at home without a supportive community and access to resources can appear to be a daunting task. But it doesn’t have to be.  Sometimes, you just need to hear [...]
Is it hard for you to show kindness to certain people in your life? Better yet, is there anyone that you love out of obligation rather than out of the love of Christ? Listen, I think most of us have been there. Despite our best efforts, we don’t get along with everyone and [...]
Are you paying attention to your life? If you find yourself coasting through life without intention, then, my friend, it’s time for a change.  Just think about it. Have you ever traveled somewhere, and the next thing you know, you’ve arrived at your destination with no recollection of the journey? Well, it’s that [...]
Is the Lord calling you to pivot in this season of your life? You may have a specific outcome in mind for your life, but when things look differently than you hoped, it may be a chance to step out of your comfort zone and step into faith. Listen, sometimes you must go [...]

Thank you, thank you. thank you!. Sitting here in tears. So many revelations about managing my time. Meaningful over urgent!! I just completed the YouVersion reading plan on Sunday, so I was thrilled to learn about your interview. Need to listen again and take notes.

Loved this podcast! I could totally relate to Talisha in that real or imagined disappointment causes me to back away from planning events. We have a tradition of allowing the kids to open gifts then take individual family photos. It's so hard watching them open gifts because they've bought for their kids and although I enjoy their reactions, there is usually a hint of sadness that grips me because I don't have kids of my own. Once it's time for family photos, I disappear because I don't particularly care to take the photo alone. So I may have to figure out a way to incorporate my nieces and nephews or my siblings in my photo. One thing I do enjoy is planning the holiday menu and cooking for my family/close friends. Anyways... thanks for sharing ladies! Enjoy your holidays!

Loved this! It was as if you were reading my mind when you mentioned speaking to singles who are waiting to make a house their home. I didn't want to buy a home until I got married; something that I saw my husband and I doing together. But I think that I will strongly consider the purchase for myself and allow God to work out the rest.

Loved the discussion on doing what you can, where you are! I am in this place of restlessness/anxiousness because I feel like I'm supposed to be doing something else but it's a premature moment. This was a great reminder!
