Cyd Tells All

In Season 5, Episode 2, you’ll hear in real-time what I thought would be a deep dive into allowing God to permeate your life through unearthing the meaning of Psalm 119 and quickly turned into a congregation of conversation around words I’ve personally received for God’s children, kingdom creatives, and daughters of the Lord. Pay attention to the divine digits/angel numbers to see what the Most Hi...

Season 5, Episode 01 of Cyd Tells All is here, and we’re kicking things off with a juicy 1 hour, 10 minute, and 10 second conversation all about transitioning into authentic kingdom living. Trust me, this one’s a heart-to-heart you won’t want to miss! We’re diving deep into what it actually looks like to break those pesky generational curses and step into a life that feels real, raw, and aligned w...

The original final episode of Season 4 of Cyd Tells All, potentially the final episode ever, was 1 hour, 11 minutes, and 12 seconds. And then, God asked me to re-record something much shorter and leave it at that. I don’t know if the tell-all will come back. I do know that what I’ve left in each episode will impact someone. Maybe with a moment of joy or welcoming the surrender or helping them disc...

An episode under 20 minutes?? Who is she?? All giggles aside, as Season 4 comes to a close, I wanted to commit to at least one shorter episode. The fact that y’all have been listening to me ramble for 4 seasons is baffling to this introverted creative and heartwarming. Yes, even with me having done speaking engagements in the past. May this episode find whoever it’s supposed to. This is a public e...

I thought I’d do something a little different with the final 3 episodes of Season 4. If you feel called to listen, press play. If not, trust that this will find you again when it’s time.

In the 3rd episode of the Daily Motivation series, I touch on the topic that I can’t get enough of since late 2023: You are not for everyone. I first explored this as discerning the type of people in your life — think like a relationship audit. I found my Instagram community was feeling the same growing pains that come with moving into a new chapter but not being able to take everyone with you for...

This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this w...

In this episode, I dive into the 3 mindset shifts I covered over the weekend live, why I went live 8 times in 48 hours across 4 different platforms (TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, and Twitch), and where our power actually lies, especially for those of us with a personal relationship with God. Basically, if you’re tired of letting the world run your life and you’re ready to do something about it, this...

While a 30 minute episode would not do this concept/movement/mindset justice, I wanted to explain where it was coming from, what’s going on in my world and in my head, and the things I need us to consider when stepping into a year like this. The Year of Audacity in the Name of Good podcast is only available on Substack and the in-depth episodes will only be available to members on that platform. I...

In this episode, which was purely for some Friday fun and letting you into the world of what I get to do with this life of mine, I bring you into the genius that is RENAISSANCE BRUNCH, now HIVE HOEDOWN: the ultimate experience for the Beyhive to get together and have a real good time!

In Season 3, I really wanted to dive into more of my intersections and the first one that called to me was being Black and nerdy which is more commonly known as a “Blerd.” In this episode, I talk about what it was like growing up as a Black, nerdy girl (in the South), how I come from a family of nerds, and what I feel like makes me a nerd. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this wi...

In this episode, I dive into the truth about committing to your “Me Season” — the good, the uncomfortable, and the dark — while wholeheartedly telling you to go for it because you are worthy of good things. You are worthy of choosing, prioritizing, and loving yourself. I even go as far as to tell you what woke me up and made me go into this Me Season effective the same day as this recording. Shout...

Welcome to Season 3! In this first episode, I wanted to dive into what I need us to understand as ever-evolving and ever-curious people — our past doesn’t define us, and still, it can help mold us into better, brighter, more aligned versions of ourselves with that life we keep trying to attract. I also want us to understand that none of us are perfect, our paths aren’t a straight line, and we’ve a...

If you are in open and receptive to unpacking money trauma and aligning yourself with your wealthiest life, this is the episode for you! If any of these affirmations do not resonate from the Money Matters deck by Deserved Happiness, I challenge you to reframe it so it does work for you. The only constant is change and better is on the other side of the work you refuse to do by choosing yourself. Y...

It’s funny, I originally told myself I was not recording a podcast episode this week and we’d end Season 2 with the Cowboy Carter episode. Clearly, that’s not what happened. This episode right here is for all the people with abandonment wounds you don’t talk about, the healers who often do thankless work, and those with rejection trauma that started in childhood. If you take nothing else from this...

While Beyoncé’s bodies of work like LEMONADE, The Lion King: The Gift, and RENAISSANCE have easily become the soundtracks to my life at various points of my life, nothing could have prepared me for the feelings of coming home and pure chills I got after listening to her album or act ii, COWBOY CARTER. I have left live reactions on social media platforms like Instagram, Threads, and TikTok, but for...

This is very much from the point of view of Black women because — hello, look at me — and how we often get told to shrink ourselves to make others comfortable in the workplace, romantic relationships, friendships, and anywhere else where we’re perceived a “threat” to someone’s ego. In this episode, I break down the thread that led to this conversation and how we do better as a society when it come...
