Have you become so accustomed to difficult seasons that you've forgotten life can look different? In episode 618 of Spiritual Homegirl, we're talking about how struggles can shape our perspectives, why temporary circumstances shouldn't become permanent identities, and how to stop allowing difficult chapters to define our entire lives. I also throw in a little inspiration from Mary J. Blige's musical evolution to explore what it means to grow beyond the pain we've become familiar with. Your struggle can be a part of your story, but it doesn't have to be your entire story!

What happens when people form opinions about you without understanding the full picture? We talk about it on episode 616.

What deserves your attention...and what doesn’t? In this episode, I talk about discernment, suspected shade, direct communication, praying for signs, the juvenile hawk that showed up weeks after I asked for one, and why not every disagreement or lack of support needs a reaction. I also clarify my message from Episode 613 and give a special shoutout to listeners tuning in from cities around the world. :-)FILL OUT THE PODCAST SURVEY HERE: https://forms.gle/adxbnMAeejfApM1T7Join my email list: spiritualhomegirl.ck.page/emailSubscribe to Spiritual Homegirl’s YouTube here: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UClfzaF9Vr-xEPh9WBaEBhww?sub_confirmation=1Follow me on IG: https://www.instagram.com/spiritualhomegirl/Follow Make Peace With the Day: https://instagram.com/makepeacewiththedayCheck me out on Facebook: https://m.facebook.com/SpiritualHomegirl/Disclaimer: This podcast is for educational and entertainment purposes only.

Ten years ago, I pressed record without knowing where any of this would take me.And baby…this is NOT how I thought my life would turn out. 😂After 10 years of podcasting, a million's worth of downloads, listeners around the world, career changes, relationships, losses, wins, pivots, becoming a wife, becoming a mother, and becoming several different versions of myself along the way, I wanted to sit down and talk about it.This isn't your typical “10 lessons from 10 years" episode. No "secrets from a master plan", either. Just an honest conversation about who I was when I started, what this podcast gave me, what these years taught me, and the woman behind the microphone today.In this 10-year anniversary episode, I’m talking about the things I couldn't have known when I started, the parts of myself I've outgrown, what I believe now, and what I want to carry into the next decade. Some answers came directly from your questions!Because apparently, A LOT can happen in ten years!And by the grace of God… we're still here.Thank you for listening, sharing, growing, laughing, healing, and evolving with me.Happy 10 years to us. 🥂FILL OUT THE PODCAST SURVEY HERE: https://forms.gle/adxbnMAeejfApM1T7Join my email list: spiritualhomegirl.ck.page/emailSubscribe to Spiritual Homegirl’s YouTube here: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UClfzaF9Vr-xEPh9WBaEBhww?sub_confirmation=1Follow me on IG: https://www.instagram.com/spiritualhomegirl/Follow Make Peace With the Day: https://instagram.com/makepeacewiththedayCheck me out on Facebook: https://m.facebook.com/SpiritualHomegirl/Disclaimer: This podcast is for educational and entertainment purposes only.

Someone can copy the idea, study the formula, or try to steal the sauce, but similar still doesn’t mean the same.

Sometimes we ask for perspective when what we’re really seeking is permission. In this episode, we talk about trusting yourself to make decisions, accepting uncertainty, and remembering that even unfavorable experiences can teach us something.We also get into the exciting increase in podcast interview requests, why every opportunity isn’t necessarily an aligned opportunity, and what I’m considering as I become more intentional about future guests.

Forgiveness can get complicated when we assume everyone views it the same way that we do.
