Send us Fan Mail Love is one of the easiest words to say and one of the hardest things to live. We open with a heart-check that cuts through the noise: when you hear the word love, do you think of comfort or disappointment, safety or being let down? I walk through why I no longer trust words alone and why actions reveal what is real, especially when life gets hard and you find out who truly shows...

Send us Fan Mail Your body can crash, your mind can race, and your heart can ache so deep that sleep can’t reach it and that’s where this message lands. We’re talking about the kind of exhaustion that comes from carrying everyone, managing outcomes, and trying to look “strong” while you’re quietly breaking. The anchor is simple and life-changing: Jesus says, “Come unto me… and I will give you rest...

Send us Fan Mail “You don’t get the rest of my life.” That’s the line I end this season with, because I’m done letting someone else sit at the center of my story. The finale is me telling the unfiltered truth about what my tears were really about: not missing the past, but walking back through it, grieving what I survived, and facing the hard reality of what I normalized just to get through anothe...

Send us Fan Mail If you’ve been praying, waiting, and wondering why nothing looks different yet, this message meets you right there. We’re talking about what it really means to trust the process when life feels uncertain and your emotions are loud, because “we walk by faith, not by sight” (2 Corinthians 5:7) is not just a verse, it’s a way to survive and grow. We share a personal story of walking...

Send us Fan Mail If you’ve ever caught yourself knowing every detail about someone else’s life while your own goals feel stuck, this one hits close to home. We’re digging into a blunt, freeing reminder: mind your assignment. Not as a cute slogan, but as a real framework for focus, stewardship, and peace when the internet constantly invites you to monitor, judge, compare, and comment. We walk throu...

Send us Fan Mail That one line from Amos 4 keeps echoing long after we stop recording: “Yet you did not return to me.” We start Season 4 with a direct Sunday message from Dr. LaShawn Fernandez that asks what happens when God calls us to change and we keep choosing our own way. If you’ve felt spiritually dry, stuck in repeating cycles, or tired of making excuses you don’t even believe anymore, this...

Send us Fan Mail Someone once tried to get ahead of my story by emailing my therapist first and warning her that I’m “very convincing.” That line still makes my stomach drop, because it captures the trap so many people live in during emotional abuse: if you cry, you’re unstable, and if you stay calm, you’re calculating. I’m Trish Lacey, and I’m taking you through the receipts I’ve kept for years:...

Send us Fan Mail Your body knows when something is wrong, and so does your child. I’m Trish Lacey, and this chapter of my story centers on the moment I stopped treating healing like a private journey and started treating it like protection. With a gentle content warning up front, I share what happened after I left my marriage: the boundaries that felt uncomfortable at first, the small pockets of j...

Send us Fan Mail Your mind can talk you into enduring almost anything, but your body keeps receipts. I’m Trish Lacey, and I’m sharing the day I pulled into my own driveway and could not make myself walk into the house, the same home I worked for, decorated, and raised my daughter in. That moment didn’t come with a dramatic fight. It came with a heavy silence, the kind that trains you to monitor fo...

Send us Fan Mail Love doesn’t fall apart all at once. Sometimes it unravels through small moments that shouldn’t matter but somehow do: a dinner that gets labeled “competition,” a conversation that gets interrupted on purpose, a text that says “Don’t tell Trish,” and a home that starts to feel less like a sanctuary and more like an emotional battlefield. We walk through the real mechanics of toxic...

Send us Fan Mail A live raffle sounds simple until you’re the one responsible for delivering real value, real visibility, and real quality. We go on stream for the Listen Linda Magazine cover raffle and lay out exactly what the winner gets, what every entrant receives, and why we built this as a no-lose opportunity for women who are ready to be seen. We break down the full cover package: a multi-p...

Send us Fan Mail The storm is not always a sign you missed God. Sometimes it is the proof you are moving. I sit with the person who followed the call, made the leap, stayed obedient and then watched the waves rise anyway, because that moment can make you question everything you thought you heard.  We go straight to Mark 4 and the disciples’ boat that starts taking on water while Jesus is still on...

Send us Fan Mail The fastest way to sabotage a calling is to get addicted to being right. We’re talking about teachability, rules, and the kind of correction that stings at first but saves you later, because avoiding instruction can lead to destruction and we’ve all watched it happen in real time: opportunities lost, relationships cracked, businesses stalled, and leaders who had talent but refused...

Send us Fan Mail They told each other he was never leaving me and somehow acted like that settled everything. What they didn’t factor in was the one thing betrayal tries to steal first: my ability to choose my own life.  I’m still asking the questions anyone would ask after infidelity, but the “truth” keeps changing depending on his mood. That’s when betrayal trauma kicks in and your memories star...

Send us Fan Mail A phone number saved as “John Adams” should tell you everything you need to know and somehow it still isn’t the end of the argument. We open with a quick recap of the receipt that made Trish doubt herself, then walk straight into the moment the truth shows up on an iPad: a coworker’s warning, a voice note from Natalie, and the question that finally gets asked out loud, “Are you ch...

Send us Fan Mail A single line on a receipt can crack open a whole reality. When we see “General Merchandise 12 count,” our mind jumps to the worst, and before we know it we’re calling a grocery store to investigate a purchase that turns out to be eggs. The funny part lasts two seconds. The real question lingers: what has to happen in a marriage for condoms to feel more believable than breakfast?...

Send us Fan Mail The hardest part of healing is realizing you’re still alive, but you’ve been slowly disappearing. Trish Lacy launches Unerased with the stories that come after her memoir Erased in My Home and puts words to an experience many people can’t quite name: the quiet erosion of self-trust that happens when you keep the peace at the cost of yourself. We talk about the “driveway moment” wh...

Send us Fan Mail Getting published should not feel like a high-pressure sales call. We hear from first-time authors all the time who are trying to figure out whether they are talking to a legitimate hybrid publisher or a vanity press dressed up with big promises and shiny branding. So we get specific about what “hybrid publishing” really means, why paying for services is not automatically a scam,...

Send us Fan Mail The moment you start healing, somebody close to you might call it “acting different.” We get real about generational sabotage, the kind of toxicity that hides behind family titles, fake loyalty, and tradition. When you refuse manipulation, gossip, emotional abuse, and control, your boundaries don’t just protect you, they expose what others have normalized for years.  We talk about...

Send us Fan Mail The hardest part of growth is not the work, it is the reaction. When you finally stop asking for permission and start walking in purpose, some people do not just disagree, they take it personally. We talk about that shift and why it happens when God gives you a vision directly, especially if someone has gotten comfortable acting like the “middleman” to your gift. We unpack the wor...

Send us Fan Mail The hardest part of launching a book is not writing it. It’s realizing the people closest to you might never be your biggest buyers, loudest sharers, or most consistent readers. We get honest about the question authors keep asking: should friends and family automatically support your book, or is that expectation setting you up for disappointment and unnecessary conflict?  We talk...

Send us Fan Mail Somebody in your life keeps making you the problem, and deep down you can feel it: the real issues are never addressed, only your reaction to them. We get honest about scapegoating, the toxic group habit of projecting frustration, anger, insecurity, and dysfunction onto one person so everyone else can dodge accountability. If you have ever been labeled “difficult” for speaking up,...

Send us Fan Mail Being the black sheep can feel like you’re getting punished for telling the truth. When you’re the one who finally notices the dysfunction everyone else has normalized, you don’t just stand out you become the “problem,” the “difficult one,” the “too sensitive” one. I’m putting language to that experience and naming what’s really happening when growth collides with denial. We talk...

Send us Fan Mail You can be a great writer and still publish a book that looks rushed. That’s the uncomfortable truth we dig into, starting with a simple question: do you really need an editor if you already know how to write? We say yes, and we explain why without sugarcoating it. When you read your own manuscript, your brain auto-corrects what’s on the page into what you meant to say, which is e...

Send us Fan Mail “God told me, you better obey” can sound like faith, but it often functions like control. We talk about spiritual manipulation as a toxic trait that has harmed a lot of people, especially in church spaces, and we draw a clear line between spiritual guidance that helps you grow and spiritual control that keeps you emotionally dependent. If you’ve ever been pressured by guilt, fear,...
