When Survival Mode Turns Into Jealousy: A Conversation We Don’t Have Enough

The Fine Line Between Loving People & People Pleasing

Send a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2532465/open_sms] In this heartfelt episode, I’m sharing a behind-the-scenes reflection from our recent Bible & Blessings Women’s Retreat, where pure intentions met an unexpected heart check. What started as a Christ-centered mission to love and serve turned into a wake-up call about the fine line between accommodating others and people-pleasing. I open up about how easy it is, especially as a leader or host, to shift from Spirit-led service to fear-driven performance. ✨ Connect with The Soft Side Project™: FaceBook & Instagram: @thesoftsideo [https://www.instagram.com/thesoftsideofstrength/]fstrength YouTube: The Soft Side Project™ Channel [https://www.youtube.com/@Thesoftsideproject] TikTok: @softsideofstrength [https://www.tiktok.com/@softsideofstrength] Click Here [https://linktr.ee/thesoftsideofstrength] to: 💗 Share this episode with the strong friend 🎙️ Be a guest?

Introducing The Soft Side Mini Series | The Soft Side Project

Send a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2532465/open_sms] Welcome to The Soft Side Mini Series — a special collection within The Soft Side Project™ where real women share real stories of faith, healing, and transformation. Each episode features a woman who has walked through her own battle and found purpose in the process. These are stories that remind us that softness is strength, that vulnerability is not defeat, and that God can turn even our hardest seasons into something beautiful. In this first episode, we’re joined by Alicia Lorde, author of True Survivor: A Story of Resilience and Hope. Alicia opens up about how faith and resilience can turn life’s hardest battles into divine purpose, and how surviving is only the beginning of becoming who God called you to be. Let’s dive in as we explore what it means to be a true survivor and live from a place of softness, strength, and surrender. ✨ Connect with Alicia: Instagram: @alicialordeauthor [https://www.instagram.com/alicialordeauthor] Instagram: @truesurvivor__ [https://www.instagram.com/truesurvivor__] 📖 Get her book on Amazon: True Survivor: A Story of Resilience and Hope [https://www.amazon.com/True-Survivor-Finding-Indomitable-Persevere/dp/B0DX13P6YF/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2JANWLUK6DD6H&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.QyxGykwfbAGa1pUKW4LeSA.zpX0zDMftyLawjDIrCJyaSuUhbaspHT7H6nKfB0Czcg&dib_tag=se&keywords=true+survivor+alicia+lorde&qid=1760331432&sprefix=Alicia+Lorde%2Caps%2C207&sr=8-1] ✨ Connect with The Soft Side Project™: FaceBook & Instagram: @thesoftsideo [https://www.instagram.com/thesoftsideofstrength/]fstrength YouTube: The Soft Side Project™ Channel [https://www.youtube.com/@Thesoftsideproject] TikTok: @softsideofstrength [https://www.tiktok.com/@softsideofstrength] Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2532465/support] The Soft Side of Strength is where strong women come to heal, soften, and reconnect with who God created them to be.

When Survival Mode Turns Into Jealousy: A Conversation We Don’t Have Enough

Send a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2532465/open_sms] In this raw and honest episode of The Soft Side Project™, I open up about a struggle many of us don’t talk about—jealousy. Not just how it shows up, but how survival mode can quietly create both the jealous and the one being envied. I share how the Lord revealed jealousy in me, the healing that followed, and why we need to stop shaming the conversation. I even include a short prayer for anyone walking through this heart work. This episode is for the woman who’s been comparing… For the one silently battling envy… And for the one who’s often misunderstood. 🎧 Listen in and share it with someone who’s ready to heal too. 💗 Share this episode with the strong friend 📚 Mentioned: The Road to Your First Million by Lamar Phillips → here [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FJFHR9QB?ref=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cso_fb_apan_dp_RQYZ6ZF08C8GEKM1QP52&ref_=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cso_fb_apan_dp_RQYZ6ZF08C8GEKM1QP52&social_share=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cso_fb_apan_dp_RQYZ6ZF08C8GEKM1QP52&bestFormat=true&titleSource=true&csmig=1&fbclid=IwY2xjawNJo5RleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHoICligAGATsbWNVPFJxDyLaE6xOxHBZTbvQ5r_OZsxdzDC8eDfxcZFWRVPR_aem_CkFwgoXGzjE_Xs-e7krcXA] 💌 Devotional, Clarity Call and More [https://linktr.ee/thesoftsideofstrength] 🎙️ Want to be a guest?

When Perfection Pretends to Protect

Send a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2532465/open_sms] In this episode, I share how striving for perfection nearly distracted me from the very God who gave me the assignment. From skipping quiet time to being gently convicted by the Holy Spirit, I realized — God didn’t ask me to be perfect, He asked me to obey. If you’ve ever felt pressure to “get it right” or feared being seen in the process, this one’s for you. Let’s talk about releasing perfectionism in your walk with Christ and in survival mode. 💗 Share this episode with the strong friend 💌 Submit your soft moment for a chance to be featured 🎙️ Want to be a guest?
