Pep Talk with Yedidah: Faith Up!

When I wrote chapter 9, "God Doesn't Throw Away Broken Things," I wanted to encourage every person who needed hope. I discovered, giving up looks different for each of us. Sometimes, there's a project that needs to be completed, a book that needs to be created or a business or ministry that should have been started a long time ago. Or, sometimes after experiencing hardship our th...

One thing I've discovered is that God doesn't do things in my timing. There are days I prayed and hoped for an answer, but He didn't answer my prayer when I expected. Sometimes, He answered a completely different way. To those who have been waiting. This one is for you. God is Sovereign, and He has a purpose for everything. What we do as we wait is super important. Don't give up ho...

Ever feel like life is going so fast? I do. I remember the day I brought a pair of roller blades and decided to skate in Central Park. Smh. Why did I do that? Lol I learned a valuable lesson that day. Don't try roller blading in Central Park if you don't know how. Yet, God saw me. I literally think He may have chuckled and thought, "There goes my daughter Yedidah again." Lol God sees you friend ev...

This is going to be good. I learned a valuable and hard lesson. I honestly believed I was doing God a favor by playing small. I don't know if I've ever been so wrong in my life. God didn't need my help. I've heard people talk about false humility before, but surely I wasn't doing that...so I thought.  In this episode I am going to share with you with you how I needed to show up differently. D...

Today, I decided to record outside with the wind bustling through the trees and the acorns falling. I've reached a place in my life where I'm okay with being imperfectly perfect. Sure I love operating in excellence, but I have learned to give myself some grace and show up anyway. I want you to be there too. Social media has attempted to dictate what worth, true happiness and prestige is. So many a...

In this episode I want to wake something up inside of you that gives you permission to change everything that tries to hold you back. What are your thoughts saying? What are your emotions doing? Do you feel empowered and if not what will you do to change it? Don't settle. You were born with greatness inside of you, with God's DNA.

I want you to know it’s okay to experience sadness, but to also find ways to deal with prolonged emotional distress. You see, sometimes our emotions erupt like a can of hot soda. It’s not that your mad about the toilet seat being left up. Instead, your angry because you simply want to be heard. It’s not that your upset that the children won’t go to sleep, it’s that you feel like you want to be in...

I’d like to share a message of hope and inspiration with you. I think we can safely say the world is in a very interesting place.

During the most intense moments of my life, God never abandoned me. Inst...

Today I interacted with two business owners who shared their need to pause and to reflect on their strengths. I had to go into their DM’s and let them know how much their post resonated with me. In this works of filters and fluff which is nice for entertainment, there are moments you need to step away from it all and celebrate and embrace those vulnerable moments. Mostly, embracing God in the mids...

There's so much reality tv and social media happening until some believe they can cancel your destiny, like they cancel a sitcom. Actually it's the enemy and it's not true. When the God of the universe and Heaven is on your side nothing can stop you. Nothing can stop you! I want you to learn to say, “Victory is my name.”

If you’ve ever encountered a significant loss or traumatic event it’s easy to find yourself dealing with tough emotions. This happens, but when those emotions turn into self-sabotaging belief and behavior we have to do something to heal and move forward. It may not happen overnight but faith in God can certainly help you through it. Listen chat.

Pardon the paper turning, this mic is stronger than I thought, but this was too good to delete:-). Leave me a comment a...

One thing I have learned is there is a purpose to every season. Sometimes we are laughing, sometimes crying. Here's the thing absolutely nothing takes God by surprise. He knows about your WHOLE life. The struggles have made me stronger and increased my faith. How about you? Stopping by to say “Don’t give up in the middle. Flip it. Write a book. Make a course. Coach someone through the tough moment...

Have you plugged into the power source today? I see God as a power source. Feeling tired and depleted? Plug in. Needing.to accomplish an important task? Plug in. Needing to speak up when you'd rather not? Plug in. You don't have to do it all by yourself. Plug in.

Today, I punched the punching bag super hard and super fast. Guess what it felt great. I wept today. I needed to.

Most people don’t celebrate the caterpillar. They can’t see any worth in that stage. Neither do they celebrate the chrysalis stage, when the caterpillar is going through a severe metamorphosis. It’s not until it presses through the process and become a butterfly that it is celebrated. Yet, every part of the journey is necessary for survival. Your journey may be difficult at times. Your faith muscl...

Tonight I decided to read to you from my book “Don’t give up” chapter 13 “Between Here and There.” After listening to the replay I noticed the playback had some background noise. I decided not to re-record it, because there are imperfect moments and people who are yet valuable. So I decided to leave it up because the message is valuable. Let me share a few golden nuggets with you. It's time to fai...
