When Your Blessings Feel Heavy

I Didn’t Know My Job Was Toxic Until I Left

For a long time, I thought the stress, anxiety, and constant exhaustion were just part of having a job. I told myself it was normal. I told myself to be stronger. I told myself to push through. But it wasn’t normal… it was toxic. In this episode, I talk about the unhealthy workplaces I stayed in, the signs I couldn’t see while I was in the middle of it, and what finally became clear once I experienced a healthy work environment. We talk about how toxic jobs slowly change you, how easy it is to doubt yourself, and why leaving isn’t failure — it’s self-respect. If you’ve ever cried before work, felt small at your job, or wondered if you’re the problem, this episode is for you. There are good workplaces out there. You’re not weak for wanting peace. And it’s okay to choose yourself. You deserve better. 🤍

I Tried To Push Through Healing

I’m back. 🤍 And for my first episode returning, I wanted to be honest about where I’ve been. For a long time, I thought healing meant pushing through the pain, staying productive, and pretending I was okay when I wasn’t. In this episode, I share what that looked like for me, why slowing down felt so uncomfortable, and how my body and heart eventually asked me to listen. If you’ve ever felt guilty for resting, pressured to be “strong,” or like you had to keep going even when you were exhausted, this one is for you. 🤍

Advocating for Yourself When You’re Tired of Fighting

This week felt heavy. Honestly? I’m exhausted from having to fight for myself in so many areas of life. Maybe you’ve felt that too—when you’re constantly having to push, explain, or stand up just to be heard. In this episode, I get real about what that looks like, how draining it can feel, and why advocating for yourself is still an act of courage and self-love. And if you’re tired right now, I want you to know: I’m proud of you. I love you. Keep going—but also give yourself permission to rest. 💛

When Your Blessings Feel Heavy

Last week I hit pause. Jennae Cecelia’s new book came out, and while I wanted to give her the spotlight, I also found myself overwhelmed—lying in bed, crying, and questioning everything. Then I read a quote that shifted everything: “How blessed am I to be stressed about a job I once prayed for.” In this episode, I’m opening up about the weight of answered prayers, the stress that comes with blessings, and how gratitude can change the way we carry it all. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the very things you once dreamed of, this one’s for you.

The Bathroom Floor Club

Cold tile. Hot tea. Real talk. ☕🛁 The bathroom floor has been my safe space through every season of life — from hiding during high school, to laughing with friends in restaurant restrooms, to finding quiet moments in the walk-in cooler at work. In this episode, I’m sharing the stories behind my “Bathroom Floor Club” — the laughs, the tears, and why I think we all need a space where we can just… be.
