Her Path Her Pace: Where Growth Meets Grace

The People Along the Way We've all heard the saying, "It takes a village," but what if our village doesn't always look the way we expect? In this episode, we're talking about community, the people who walk alongside us through different seasons of life, and how sometimes our greatest sources of encouragement come from the most unexpected places. From lifelong relationships...

Respectfully... I Was Wrong Sometimes growth looks like healing. Sometimes it looks like finding peace. And sometimes... it looks like laughing at yourself. 😂 This episode was inspired by attending the Pour Minds live show, where they revisited some of their old opinions to see if they still felt the same. Sitting there, I couldn't help but reflect on how much they had grown since the first...

Father’s Day always makes me reflect on the people who have shaped me, and for this episode, I wanted to take some time to honor my dad. Instead of telling stories or sharing memories, I’m reflecting on three quotes he has said to me over the years that have had a lasting impact on how I see myself, my dreams, and the way I move through life. “The sky isn’t the limit, it’s only the beginning.” “Ro...

As we come to the end of our 75 Day Challenge, I wanted to take a moment to pause and reflect before rushing to the finish line. Because sometimes we're so focused on getting through something that we never stop to see what it gave us. In this episode, I'm sharing some of the biggest lessons and revelations I've experienced throughout these past 75 days. Not the accomplishments, not...

There was a time in my life when I thought I was living… but looking back, I realize I was surviving. Not because I was falling apart or completely disconnected from reality. In fact, from the outside looking in, I was functioning. I was showing up. I was handling responsibilities. I was doing what needed to be done. But somewhere along the way, I stopped feeling fully connected to my life. The la...

This episode is a little lighter, a little more playful, and honestly… a reminder to myself to actually practice what I preach. For so long, life felt heavy, serious, structured, and honestly a little survival-mode coded. And while healing, growth, and self-work are all important, I’m realizing that joy matters too. So this summer? We’re going outside 😭 In this episode, I’m sharing my summer buck...

In this episode, I’m honoring both of my moms. The one who gave birth to me… and the one who stepped in and chose to be my mom when she didn’t have to. And if I’m being honest, my relationships with both of them have come with different layers, emotions, lessons, and moments of healing. For a long time, I only saw things through my own perspective—through my hurt, my confusion, and the experiences...

In this episode, I’m getting honest about something I’m still learning in real time… what it actually means to love yourself. Because if I’m being real, it wasn’t that I didn’t love myself… I just didn’t fully understand myself. As I’ve been on this journey of dating myself and pouring back into me, I’ve realized that what I was lacking in my past relationships wasn’t just effort or care—it was in...

First things first… congratulations 🤍 Whether you’re graduating from high school or college, this is a moment to celebrate. You made it to a milestone that required discipline, growth, and perseverance—and you deserve to be proud of that. In this episode, I wanted to take a moment to speak directly to you as you step into this next phase of life. For my college graduates… I know that transition i...

There was a time in my life where I felt completely lost. Not just a little confused… but truly didn’t know where to start to even begin finding myself again. And in that space, I made a choice. I decided I wasn’t going to stay there. So I went looking for my purpose. But what I didn’t realize at the time was this… I wasn’t lost because I didn’t have purpose. I was lost because I couldn’t see it....

In this episode, we’re talking about something I’m still learning in real time… slowing down long enough to actually recognize the growth that’s happening. Because if I’m being honest, I’ve spent a lot of time rushing. Rushing to get to the next thing, the next version of myself, the next level… and in doing that, I was skipping right past the very moments that were building me. This episode is ab...

Freeing Them… Freed Me Ep. 14 Her Path, Her Pace: Where Growth Meets Grace We’ve all heard it before… “forgiveness is for you.” And if I’m being honest, for a long time I didn’t fully understand that. Because in my mind, forgiving felt like letting people off the hook. Like saying what they did didn’t hurt… like it didn’t matter. But that’s not what forgiveness is. In this episode, I’m talking abo...

What does it really look like to come back to yourself? In this episode, I’m talking about the little things that helped me find my way back to me… and how falling back in love with yourself doesn’t always happen in big, life-changing moments—but in the quiet, everyday ones. Because if I’m being honest… there was a time where I felt lonely.  Even when I was surrounded by people. And I had to face...

25 Lessons Along the Way What does it really look like to grow… in real time? In this birthday episode, I’m sitting down with myself—and with you—to reflect on 25 lessons I’ve learned along the way. Not the polished, pretty ones… but the real, hard-earned lessons that came through life, through mistakes, through healing, and through becoming. Some of these lessons came from college. Some came from...

Loyalty or Lack of Boundaries? In this episode, I’m having an honest conversation with myself… and with you. For a long time, I thought I was being intentional. I thought I was choosing growth, choosing patience, choosing commitment. But in reality, I was skipping the foundation. I wasn’t dating intentionally—I was jumping straight into building something that required a version of me I hadn’t ful...

In this episode, I’m talking about something that took me years to understand: the difference between man’s convictions and God’s conviction. As a preacher’s kid who grew up in church, faith has always been a part of my life. But like many people, there came a time when the noise of the world, the pressures of life, and other people’s interpretations of faith started to cloud my relationship with...

Episode 9: When You Know Better Healing isn’t always loud. Sometimes it looks like catching yourself in the middle of the same old reaction… and choosing differently. In this episode, I’m unpacking the layered truth of healing — how growth isn’t linear, how you might still respond the way you’ve always responded at first, and how the real proof of change is in the correction. We talk about pattern...

Give Her Flowers | Black History Month Special To close out Black History Month, this episode is dedicated to honoring the Black women who have shaped history — often without the recognition they deserved. This is our Give Her Flowers episode. In this conversation, I reflect on the lives and legacies of: 🎨 Alma Thomas 🔬 Shirley Ann Jackson 🎸 Sister Rosetta Tharpe   🎹 Nina Simone   This episode...

Episode: Is It Worth It? This episode is a real conversation — not with anyone else, but with myself. I found myself sitting with a few questions that honestly challenged me. If I could snap my fingers and see how everything plays out… would I? If I could skip the confusion, the waiting, the stretching, the discomfort… would I choose the easy road? Or would I still choose the process? Because the...

When Leaving Is the Loving Choice In this episode, I’m talking about something that isn’t easy to admit out loud — when leaving is actually the most loving thing you can do. I dive into my most recent relationship, how I knew it was time to walk away, and what that decision looked like internally before it ever showed up externally. I share my thoughts in real time — the processing, the doubts, th...

Episode 5: Healing in Progress This episode was a little different. I went into this conversation wanting to talk about self-love and forgiveness… and somewhere along the way, I found myself healing out loud. There were moments that were real, vulnerable, and unplanned — and I decided to let them stay. Healing isn’t always neat. Sometimes it happens in real time, in front of people, while you’re s...

Episode 3: Something shifted… In this episode, we’re talking about the importance of honoring your past self without letting your past keep you from the blessings of your present. Growth doesn’t require erasing who you were — it asks you to acknowledge the lessons, release what no longer fits, and step boldly into the next chapter, season, or phase of your life. This conversation is about recogniz...

Episode 4: Let Them See You This episode is a wrap-up — not just of the month, but of the mindset we’ve been sitting in together. Our January theme, Daring to Begin, wasn’t about perfection or confidence. It was about movement. About choosing to start even when fear, doubt, and discomfort try to keep us quiet. In this conversation, we’re talking about one of the biggest reasons people hesitate to...

In this episode, we’re talking honestly about something that quietly holds so many of us back: waiting until we feel “ready.” Waiting until we’re more confident, more prepared, more certain, or until the timing feels perfect. The truth is, that moment rarely comes. Not feeling ready can overshadow our growth and keep us stagnant. It convinces us that standing still is safer than moving forward, ev...

Welcome to Her Path, Her Pace. In this first episode, I’m introducing myself and inviting you into a space centered on honest growth, reflection, and grace. This conversation is about taking the first step — even when you don’t have all the answers, the timing doesn’t feel perfect, or the path ahead isn’t fully clear. We talk about beginning where you are, trusting your pace, and choosing progress...
