Unsilenced Truths

"Moving on to the future without letting go of the past is like tying your arm to a post while catching a train'" This chapter of my life is figuratively about to leave the train station. I can't help but to feel that with this departure will come a lot of change and opportunity for new, small beginnings. I have been asked by God to let go of a lot things. Pride, fear, relation...

"Does your current pace of life look like that of  someone who actually wants to hear from God?" Pace can be defined as a consistent and continuous speed of walking, running, or moving.  When I think of pace , my mind instantly goes to two places normally; either to how fast is the tempo of the music or what is my average speed for a duration of time while running. I am grateful for my t...

"He must become greater and greater, and I must become less and less" John 3:30 To put God first before anything will be a lifelong lesson that I am okay with learning. Check out Alive Church online

Life changes every day and you have the choice to change with it or stay the same. Hello Everybody! I would like to present my two guest speakers, Troy Carter and Earley Young. This was the show's first time having a male on air and the first time hosting two guests at once. I would hate to  miss out on new,  amazing experiences and miracles because I didn't have the guts or the willingn...

The purpose of this podcast is to simply let you all know that I am still here.  It may seem like I've been absent but honestly I'm in plain sight working smarter rather than harder by simply watching and listening before doing. I bent but I didn't break.  If God did it before he can do it again and do it better. "The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never ceas...

" Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance" 1 Corinthians 13:7 This episode was released at a later date than it was recorded.  On May 8th, I verbally provided my victim statement at an expungement hearing for my rape case ( 3 years after it took place). My sexual assault was a heavy weight that I had been carrying for a long time...

I am admitting it; I can not do life without Jesus. I need peace that surpasses all understanding! I need someone to have control of the things outside of myself because being responsible for me is a full-time job, costing more than it pays some days. I am grateful to be where I am in my life currently but to say it's been easy would be a lie. I am being transformed and who I will be on the o...

"Stop trying to calm the storm. Calm yourself. The storm will pass" Having guests on the podcasts has been so much fun. I have enjoyed listening to other people's perspective on the topics I discuss. It reminds me that there are other people who understand what I am going through or have the answers to questions I have been asking myself and God.  I need to get back to doing things...

"If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change" I would love to give a special thank you to Reighan Sheppard. She is the first guest ever on the Unsilenced Truths podcast and it was such a honor to have her. We had such an amazing time going in-depth on topics that had been weighing on our minds for awhile. Hopefully we are able to upload the full visual recordi...

"It does not matter how slow you are going as long as you do not stop"  I don't even know what message I was trying to get across to y'all this episode. I just wanted to share my story and where I am at mentally. Last week was definitely a high I never wanted to come down especially after coming out of such a dark time. I was reminded that just as the bad times don't last...

Learn when to say no!  April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month! While being assaulted is not your fault, you do have the responsibility of healing and finding a healthy way of moving forward. I encourage anyone who has been sexually assaulted to find someone safe to talk about your experience(s) with preferably a professional. Doing the internal work is hard but staying where you are at is even ha...

"The outcome is God's job, the obedience is yours" We have made it to a third season! I am so grateful for the opportunity to share my journey with you guys no matter what it looks like in the moment.  I think this episode really speaks for itself. Open up your mind and eyes to signs that are being given to you daily. That tug on your heart just might be the nudge you have been wait...

I am doing this for me... Life has been extremely hard lately, but every day I recognize the areas I have been prepared and where I am being prepared. Oddly enough, I have regained some of my joy back. Laughter does the soul wonders. This season has been full of accountability, breakthrough, self-discovery, and revelation. I grateful for the experiences despite the pain that came with refinement....

"Joy is a decision; a really brave one about how you are going to respond to life". In the beginning of the episode you heard me singing the worship song Gold  by Jesus Culture in attempt to strengthen my resolve and lean on God in a time of deep emotional pain. This past week or two I have been fighting depression. Which was difficult for me to admit to myself since I try my absolute be...

pivot (v) use with object : to modify (a policy, opinion, product, etc.) while retaining some continuity with its previous version. It is good to be intentional, create goals, and plan a course of action to have a direction to move towards in life. However, one's ability to pivot and redirect his or herself can assist with navigating change. God's timing is not reliant on the timeline we...

"Try not to  resist the changes that come your way. Instead, let life live through you.  Do not worry that your life is turning upside down. How do you know that the side you are used to is better than the one to come?" - unknown I have never been a fan of change and lately instead of fighting it I have chosen to embrace it to the best of my abilities. The best analogy I can think of to...

PIO was definitely a much needed form of Self-Care and I am very grateful for the opportunity to go. While the conference was a week a way from my initial visit to Alive Church, after much encouragement and a series of unexpected events I made the decision to go and "seek first the kingdom". I attended with an open-mind and heart and witnessed how God is not only moving in my life but al...

"He loves you for who you are becoming because he sees you perfected through His Spirit working in you" -Melanie Newton To be dearly loved by God is quite honestly the most comforting thing I have to hold onto to in life right now. I am trying my best to be ROOTED and well established in genuine love, meaning to be grounded and stabilized in God's love for me- for all of us. To trul...

"Every person you meet knows something you don't; learn from them" I'm in the process of restarting my heart because honestly it was not postured correctly for me to be in the most receptive state. Things (what ever they may be)  are going to hurt you for the rest of your life physically, mentally, and emotionally;  how you decide to heal from them is what allows forward moveme...

"Trust the wait. Embrace the uncertainty. Enjoy the beauty of becoming. When nothing is certain, anything is possible." I feel lately like my heart is hurting in ways my tongue wouldn't dare to let me speak. I don't know what seems to be holding me back. I know how I feel but who other than myself and God can truly understand the internal  battles I am fighting without the use...

Over the years I have learned various things about myself, one of those being that I am a "why" person. Even on rare occasion I love to ask the question "how" in order to better understand the process of how a situation began in one place and has progressed its way into another. Recently, I have come to the realization that it  isn't my job to understand how every minute d...

No longer pissed and still positive. MLK weekend gave me a reality check in all areas of my life.  Things have been a bit foggy in my head. Slightly confusing at times. It genuinely seemed like I was driving on a dark, narrow highway with dim headlights but thankfully I made it to my destinations safely. As I was listening to the recording I realized I started a story and never finished it, so be...

Can you be pissed off and still have a positive mindset? I am asking a genuine question... I have been running into block days these past few days with my courses for the Spring semester. Roadblocks are inconvenient and quite honestly annoying, so what do you do when you can only go forward and turning back isn't an option? I apologize in advance if the audio is a little loud in some areas. Y...

**Trigger Warning**It's a new year and a new season of Unsilenced Truths! Why is it a new season you may ask... I don't know it just smelled like a fresh start in the air ;) This episode I opened up about my sexual assault from 2020 and the impact it had on my life. What prompted this topic was my desire to be a bit more transparent about some of my  darker life experiences but also watc...

"Somehow I just can't say enough how much I appreciate you being in the world" "I think one of my favorite feelings is laughing with someone and realizing halfway through how much you enjoy them and their existence"  "Find somebody who shares your definition of love" This episode here honestly made me feel like throwing up for the majority of the time I was speak...
