Diary of a Preacher's Kid- Real, Raw and Uncut

In this episode, I am letting you into a very private part of my heart. I am talking about my mom and what it was like to grow up without the kind of mother I needed. I share what it felt like to have a mom who provided for me but was never truly present. I talk about the moments I had to parent myself, the times I watched her pour love into others, and the ache that followed me into adulthood. Th...

Trying to heal but feel like you’re stuck in the same loop? This episode is for you. We’re talking about the people, the habits, and even  our own choices  that keep old wounds open, from mutuals who keep us in the know to burner pages and secret check ins. We break down  boundaries, standards, expectations, and accountability  — what they really mean, what they’re not, and how to apply them while...

Whew, y’all… I’m back! In this first episode of the season, we’re getting real about friendship , the shifts, the silence, and the growth.

I’m breaking down why friendships change, how to recognize the different types, and giving you tools to navigate the shift...

This is a call-in and call-out for Black women who grew up under the weight of silence, shame, and sexual suppression. We’re diving deep into the pleasure we were told to hide,...

Hey yall hey! This isn’t your church’s purity talk, and it sure as hell ain’t a crash course in repression. This is real conversation about sex—messy, sacred, complex, and wildly human. We’re breaking the silence on shame, pleasure, consent, queerness, kink, healing, and everything in between. We are talking about all bodies, all dynamics—same-gender love, G-spots, BDSM, safe sex, sacred sex, loud...

This one’s for the Black women who were taught how to endure, but never taught how to receive . We were raised to be ride-or-die. To pray, press on, and keep quiet. But what if the love we were taught to accept… was never love at all? In this episode, we’re unpacking the quiet wounds: The lessons passed down from mamas who were just surviving The way religion shaped our view of love, worth, and su...

Hey baby—there’s a lot our mothers never told us. And I don’t say that to place blame. I say that with love, with grief, and with a deep understanding that silence was survival for them. Our mothers, grandmothers, aunties—they loved us the best way they knew how. But when it came to things like depression, anxiety, trauma, or emotional regulation… most of them didn’t have the language, the tools,...

Hey yall hey! Let’s clear something up right out the gate: the crowd shouting “Hosanna” on Palm Sunday was not the same crowd yelling “Crucify Him” by Friday. That oversimplified version? It’s cute for a shout cue, but it doesn’t hold up under historical scrutiny. In this episode, we’re breaking down Holy Week with fresh eyes and raw truth. We’ll explore the political tension between the Jewish pe...

In a world that tells us to "just have faith" and smile through the pain, what happens to those of us who are barely holding it together? In this episode, we unpack the raw, radical truth of John 11:35— “Jesus wept.” This ain’t your typical Sunday school lesson. We’re talking about how the church—and the culture—silences grief, rage, anxiety, and despair in the name of faith. From the grief of Bla...

We’re talking about the kind of hurt that hits different. Hurt from leadership. Hurt from folks in the pews. The shady stuff from “secondary leadership” who swear they’re called but cause more chaos than comfort. And yeah, we’re...

Whewwww! This was a conversation we needed to have. In this episode, I dive into the real and raw truth about Black mental health and the Black church—how our faith has been a source of healing but also, at times, a barrier to getting the help we need. We talk about why so many of us avoid therapy, the harm of over-spiritualizing mental health struggles, and, most importantly, how we can do better...

This ain't your typical "be still and know" episode—this is real talk about one of the hardest things to do when life gets messy: keeping quiet. When your character is under attack, when lies are being spread, when people are questioning your integrity, everything in you wants to defend yourself, clap back, and set the record straight. But what if the real test isn’t in proving your...

Grief ain't just for the dead. Sometimes, it's for the ones still walking around, leaving you with a heart full of what-ifs.

Church hurt is one of the deepest wounds a person can experience because it comes from a place that was supposed to be safe, healing, and rooted in love. When that trust is broken—whether through betrayal, hypocrisy, manipulation, or exclusion—it can shake not only your faith in people but sometimes even your faith in God. Grieving church hurt is real, and it’s necessary. It’s okay to acknowledge...

Let me gone head and ask you something—what happens when the people who should have protected you become the ones who hurt you the most? And what happens when, instead of accountability, they choose to disappear—leaving you to grieve them like they died, when really, they just couldn’t face the truth? I didn’t walk away. I was walked away from. My father abused me. My family chose to act like it n...
