we need to talk about living a consecrated life, for real.

letting people get it wrong

I used to give a lot of unsolicited advice and then I'd get really frustrated when people didn't take it and I'd watch them suffer for it. Now I just let people get things wrong; it's freeing. Join me this week as I discuss the egg drop theory (as conceptualized by moi), the frustration of giving (unsolicited) advice that friends don't take, some of my most embarrassing moments and what I learned through them. Ultimately, this is a conversation for anyone who needs to learn how to let go. Trust me, it's a lot less stress. It's okay to make mistakes; some of our most powerful life lessons came from making mistakes... same thing for the people we love. We need to talk about letting people get it wrong.

we need to talk about living a consecrated life, for real.

In this episode, I give some life updates, show love for my community on here (hey, pod squad), and keep it real about consecration. Starting with a definition, I share what a consecrated life looks like (from my experience), the realities of being misunderstood, and ultimately landing on how all-knowing God is. We need to talk about living a consecrated life, for real. 📚References 🔎 1 Peter 2: 9 Romans 12: 2 1 Samuel chapter 1 and 2 Psalm 24 Romans 8: 31, 32 Isaiah 45: 9-13 Aposlte James Kalawya's testimony (listen with a focus on repentance, consecration, intercession aka praying for other people) https://youtu.be/dvQvEtw2Izg?si=S-mgj6jGNMW84wik & ministry (1000 days of consecration) https://www.youtube.com/@PastorJamesKawalyaSOULIBERTY/videos "Gay Girl, Good God" by Jackie Hill Perry (specifically, as read by the author https://open.spotify.com/show/01tFEgrz0uzDmeSlaS8AUL?si=decd516d54eb4e52) Baby Beyoncé singing https://youtu.be/9OeqgtpOYGU?si=IRZ0kDLaRaAZHgLG vs decades later https://youtu.be/Pq5eHFs7h4M?si=RstiH7R8ybrUhkkp "Four A Season" by Zinni the Queen "No Type" by Rae Shremurd 🗣 Let's continue the conversation👂🏾 e-mail: ⁠⁠⁠need2talkpod@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠ [need2talkpod@gmail.com] twitter: @Need2TweetPod 5 WAYS TO SUPPORT THE POD ⭐️ Leave a review on the platform you’re listening to this on!  ♡📚🎨 Order a journal, designed with intention by moi!

Planning the perfect vacation

In this episode (and season finale), I discuss the difference between vacations vs travelling to see family, how I make travelling easier for myself, and what I’m looking forward to on this vacation. What are your must-haves while travelling? How do you make sure your travels are stress-free?

If quitters never win, why do I win when I quit? walking away when the well runs dry.

In this episode, I talk about why I quit my job, how my mindset on quitting changed, and what I hope they learn from me quitting. I also talk about how God gave me this job, the season when it was a blessing, and how I could tell the well was running dry (aka when it wasn’t a such blessing anymore). These lessons I learned can be applied across the board: at your job (whether you're a supervisor, boss, or regular worker bee employee), situationships, in friendships, family relationships (this one is important) and anywhere else you need them. We need to talk about expressing needs, showing appreciation, and quitting at the right time. By the way, after I quit that job, my time opened up for more meaningful activities like connecting with friends ✨IN PERSON✨ and working on artistic projects (like my podcast)! When you say no to what isn’t working, you make room for more blessings.  📖 Bible verses I referenced & the full verse (you can look them up for full context) 📖 There’s a time for everything - Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 Do your best unto the Lord - Colossians 3:23, 24 & Ephesians 6:7 People belittling you so you don’t recognize how much you’re actually benefitting them by being there - Genesis 30 & 31 Live at peace with everyone so far as it depends on you - Romans 12:17 & 2 Corinthians 8:21 🎶 Songs that ran through my head as I recorded this (that are very on-theme) 🎶 Rise - the McClain Sisters Break my soul - Beyonce Breaking Point - Keri Hilson WAYS TO SUPPORT THE POD ⭐️ Leave a review on the platform you’re listening to this on!  💄 Wanna learn a new skill & start a career as a professional makeup artist? visit Online Makeup Academy: ⁠https://www.onlinemakeupacademy.com/⁠ [https://www.onlinemakeupacademy.com/]  & use my code: QUEENZINNIA$100OFF 👩🏾‍🦱👨🏽‍🦱🧑🏿‍🦱 Taelor Boutique has high-quality, high fashion durags & bonnets for low prices.
