Hey Y'all!Driving a standard transmission vehicle taught me the delicate balance of clutching, breaking and accelerating. Sometimes life comes at us so fast that trying to shift too soon puts at risk for causing distress just like in a car. Join me on the couch as I share with you how I've navigated through a shock so real and news so consecutively overwhelming I thought it was the end of me but how God used that to get my attention and shift my perspective from what was happening to Him.
Hey Y'all!Have you ever felt like life was coming at you all at once? That was me recently and it was A LOT! Join me on the couch as I share how I processed grief, death, anger, and a myriad of other emotions that came along with adulthood, parenthood and life. My hope is that my truth will help encourage you through yours because we aren't alone in this world, no matter how much it may feel like it at times. There's always light in the darkness!
Hey Y'all!We've all had seasons or life experiences that we've wanted to share to encourage or help guide others. But there are also some things we hold tight and keep close. How do we know the difference between what to keep and what to share? Have you ever felt like sharing your truth would hurt someone else? Or maybe, your truth isn't something you want critiqued or comments about. If you can relate to any of those, join me on the couch where I share how I am navigating through sharing my own story.
Hey Y'all!Have you ever found yourself rationalizing why good things happen to you or being afraid that accepting something good feels more like a trick than a treat? Well, join me on the couch today for this chat. Goodness exists but choosing to allow it in our lives or choosing to receive it (especially when we give it freely) can prove to be difficult until we get out of our own way.
Hey Y'all! The summer heatwave is still in full effect but with school back in session, the freedom and fun of summer has come to an end. Having found transitions as a normal part of life these past almost two years, leaning in and choosing joy almost felt like a privilege one earns as opposed to a beautiful part of life. Ever been there? Well, join me on the couch and lets catch up and talk about it!
Hey Y'all!Join me on the couch today for an intimate conversation about deciphering your needs and how fulfilling them can be tricky. This episode we touch on intimacy, intercourse and learning how to exist even with the desire unfulfilled. I hope that we all get to a place of vulnerability about our needs and have safe connections that allow us to receive all that we desire.
Hey Y'all!It's hard to believe that we are already at the last Monday of January. Where has the time gone? I can say, the past few years seem to all meld together but one common thread has been transition. Whether its working from home because of a pandemic, reintegrating into a "new normal" post quarantine or working diligently to not return to the previous way of life at neck break speed- one thing is for sure- the need to transition is EVERYWHERE! Sometimes the changes come and we move with them, easily and willingly. But what happens when transition takes our breath away? I have been reminded that the grace of God always precedes transition and lucky for us that His grace is ALWAYS sufficient. Join me on the couch and lets talk about how I've tackled transition and the importance of trusting the timing of all things.
Hey Y'all!Fall is upon us and crisp mornings are more common the past few days. As I snuggle on my couch warm and comfortable, I slow my breathing to refocus. In this season as a parent, friend and educator I recognize the responsibility of the safe spaces I've created. When people feel comfortable enough to be vulnerable and transparent, it is an honor and privilege. But it also requires us to be present within ourselves so that we don't over-extend ourselves to be available. Join me on the couch for this early morning chat!
Hey Y'all!Welcome back to the couch. Sometimes in life we all make mistakes. Shocking right!? What happens in your mind when you do? I struggle with beating myself up with the shoulda, coulda, wouldas worse than Mike Tyson in a title match. And while I can easily give grace for human error to others, I judge myself in a way that leans towards perfectionism. Join me as I share the journey I'm on to forgive myself sooner and allow grace to remove the burden of self-condemnation.
Hey Y'all!We all have moments where we find it difficult to be or stay present. Join me on the couch where I share how looking forward to the future became my coping mechanism of choice and how being present not only takes practice but brings about a different level of appreciation for life. The places we find ourselves in at any given moment are temporary, the feelings can be fleeting but the waves of truth can only crash and subside when we sit in those moments. Looking forward to sharing the time in THIS PLACE of my life with you on the couch!
Hey Y'all!Today on the couch, I share a message posted to IG that grabbed my attention and my heart. The truth is, so often I find myself doing what's best or most expected by others as opposed to walking in my own truth. That burden is heavy and the outcome comes with a tired feeling that doesn't go away with naps or lazy days on the couch. It's a tired that has made me question living. A tired that contributed to a broken heart and low self worth. But now, today, I choose me. MY TRUTH. As am I, and some will fall away but those who know or hear my heart will be on this journey with me.
Hey Y'allThis one is personal, close to my heart and heavy. This episode of the couch I discuss what I believe to be the hardest goodbye, letting go of a friendship in adulthood. Choosing to do life with people and opening ourselves up to them is beautiful and in some ways restoring. But what happens when you have to say goodbye? The intensity of the love held becomes a pain that lives in our hearts. Fresh from such a goodbye, I know all too well and I share thoughts on goodbyes from my past, from the end of a relationship to the end of a life. So pardon my tears, but I hope you will join me on the couch.
Hey Y'all!As we move through seasons of life, we can look back and see how we survived, over-achieved, fell down, worked hard to strive or gave up. On this episode of the couch, I share how I am choosing to move from the heavy burden of striving to create change to the surrender that opens up the space to thrive in God's will. Just a short and quick chat on the couch that I hope you'll join me for!
Hey Y'all!Welcome back to the couch. Join me for this episode where I share a story on how I was low-key suffocating myself slowly and the powerful lessons learned when I decided to release and let go. Sometimes we hold on too tight and the main person we hinder and hurt in the process is ourselves. Grab a drink, a soft blanket and lets walk through this together!
Hey Y'all!It was a night of no kiddos climbing in bed to wake me up which meant actually waking up when my 6 a.m. alarm went off. Prayers, coffee and quiet time translated to a few thoughts about love languages and what it looks like to love ourselves the way we are often told we should look to others to. Join me for this quick chat on the couch before the start of a full day!
Too often we see our value and worth tied directly to external validations or tangible reward. Join me as I tell you how new bedding both challenged my perspective and showed me more about how I see myself than I ever thought possible. Look forward to meeting you on the couch
Hey Y'all!We have all said and heard, "enough is enough," right? I hope you will join me on the couch to tackle the illusion of "enough" and how those six letters can keep us stuck in patterns, thoughts and behaviors that no longer serve us. I am choosing to exchange "enough" with a word that doesn't trigger my survival tactics and send me into spirals that feel overwhelming. Maybe you will want to remove it from your vocabulary soon too!
Hey Y'all!**Trigger Warning**This episode, I touch on suicide, depression and mental health. If you or someone you know are struggling there is help available, please see below for resources. As we wrap the first month of the year, re-evaluating how far we have (or haven't come) on obtaining goals and meeting resolutions can be burdensome. And even though we all love a fresh start and clean slate, life doesn't stop and some hits knock the wind out of us because we don't expect the blow. Join me as I discuss what it was like when I couldn't go any further and the lessons I've learned since then. May we all be encourage to take life one fleeting moment at a time!National Suicide Prevention LifelineHours: Available 24 hours. Languages: English, Spanish. 800-273-8255
Hey Y'all! In this episode, join me on the couch as we touch on the importance of following your truth and leaving behind the path of people pleasing and self-doubt. The process of learning to trust the way that is made clear to you instead of looking for approval can be scary but so worth the work. Come grab your seat on the couch!
Hey Y'all! We made it through the holiday season and are smack dab at the start of a whole new year! So thankful to have made it this far and I look forward to all this year has in store. On the couch in the coming weeks there will be some laughs, some tears and a whole lot of truth. I hope you will join in on the conversations and bring a few friends to get comfy with us as we move through the beauty of this community in 2022!
