Rooted

Rooted Family, I have MISSED YOU!!! I am so sorry for the delay, but I am back with the final episode of Season 3 ANDDD it's also available on YouTube: https://youtu.be/L_kEdtt32RQ We are ending this beautiful season with something near and dear to my heart, and that is the topic of separation and isolation. We dive into three main areas the enemy uses these tools to attack: separation from Go...

Feeling hopeless? Good. When we're feeling hopeless we have two choices: either something needs to change, or something needs to end. The lens and perspective in which we choose to view life will create the experience we have. We have no influence over the past, but we do have influence over our future - How will you use that influence? WILL you use it? There are still 4 months left in 2023, w...

Have you ever viewed food as a god? How about attention? Usually when we think of "serving two masters" we think of money, sex, drugs, etc., but the other master can be anything that we are turning to more than or instead of our Father. Most of the time, it's something we have an unhealthy relationship, pattern, or cycle with - which the enemy is very well aware of. In this episode,...

The enemy is sneaky and slithering in the ways he attacks us, and nothing is off-limits. He can come at us through spiritual warfare, through our prayer life, and even make us question our relationship with our Father. In this "unofficial" part 2 of "What is Blocking Your Connection w/ God?" I share my own experiences with this and encourage you to equip yourself with a good of...

Surprise! We want God's Glory, without ever spending any time in the wilderness. We want God's character, but don't want the discomfort of Him "reshaping us." While in my morning time today, God put on my heart to make this episode and share this word for someone. Praying it can connect with you.

Emotional trauma is layered, therefore, the healing as well is layered. We need to remember to be kind and patient with ourselves. But we also need to remember that there is an enemy who wants to keep us stuck, distracted, and in BONDAGE.

We were designed for relationship with our Father, but the enemy is sneaky and he will try and convince us that we're not "capable" of it. But sometimes, it has nothing to do with the enemy, sometimes blocks are created through our own sin, disobedience, and feelings that we are harboring. In order to have connection with God, we have to have true intimacy with Him. What does your in...

Do you know who you *actually* are? Not who you BELIEVE you are. Not who you PERFORM. Not your insecurities, false beliefs, self-doubt... I'm talking about your born-again identity, your TRUE identity, your God-given identity. Each day we wake up and can choose to walk into the new creation that we are, yet so many of us are carrying around the same fears, problems, and hurts that have plagued...

Heavier seasons can come with heavy feelings and emotions. At times, these feelings and emotions can feel all-consuming and overwhelming. But God. As I have walked through my own season, I realized at times I've given my feelings and emotions far more power than they actually have. In this episode, we're discussing taking our power back, putting on the armor of God, and fighting back with...

When we navigate anything soul-crushing, our coping mechanisms always want to come in and “protect us.” Because at one point, when we lived in “survival mode,” we needed them. But no longer being in survival mode means now feeling our feelings (UGH).  To be honest, I don’t really view this as a “part 2,” but here we are…. In this episode, I share more blindsides that unfortunately took place over...

In this week’s episode, I open up about a current situation I am navigating and walking through this season while dealing with an ex. The truth is, it’s not about them, but really, what God needs ME to surrender in this season - oof!  Our feelings are always valid, but they are not always fact, and that can be difficult to keep in mind when someone has hurt us.  Listen, ya girl was about to pop of...

Getting real and honest with God transforms our relationship with Him. We don’t gain anything by concealing our true feelings about Him, or about our own current situations. Have you gotten radically honest with God? I’m also excited to share the incredible God encounter I had recently. Had it not been for my obedience in that moment, it would’ve never happened. I’m excited to share this “obedienc...

Have you ever tried to anoint your ex-boyfriend's home? Hi, welcome to Navigating a Necessary Ending! Letting go can get messy, humans are messy! But thank God for His grace and guidance through it all. In this episode, I'm opening up about a necessary ending I'm navigating in real-time, and my "missteps" along the way. Through each misstep, I've learned so much about mys...

As I've continued to find myself in a pruning season, there are relationships in my life that have changed and/or completely ended. None of this is easy. In fact, at times it's been heartbreakingly hard. But I can do hard things. Two things can be true at once: I can love something/someone with all my heart - and also know that I still have to leave. In this episode, we're unpacking th...

What patterns do you continue to battle? What strongholds can't you break through? We may have vision for "more" or for "better" in our lives, but if we don't actually BELIEVE it - down in our core - then it's just wishing. Believe and KNOW that you were created for more. You have the Living God within you. Sometimes I think our own potential scares us, so we stay s...

"Them not being physically in your life does not mean that they do not take up mental, spiritual, and emotional space within your internal life." This episode is the "unofficial" part 2 of episode 1, "My Testimony." I shared about the domestic abuse in my parent's relationship, and as a daughter/woman/human being, the ways it impacted me and my life.  I was faced with the question, "how do I...

Katherine concludes season 2 of Rooted with recent lessons and revelations that God continues to pour into her through her own healing journey. She opens up about the experience of having to write a letter to her parent. The four parts she discusses are: 1. This is what you did to me 2. This is how I felt about it at the time 3. This is how it affected my life 4. This is what I want from you now T...

When we hold onto unforgiveness, we essentially are keeping people "captive." More importantly, we are keeping ourselves spiritually bound to this person. As a follow-up to the Relationship series that just wrapped up, Katherine hopes this episode on forgiveness and freedom serves as a "missing puzzle piece." As she discusses, we have not truly let go or truly moved on - unless we have truly forgi...

Ya’ll thought we were done talking about Relationships?? This week, God placed one more episode on Katherine’s heart around the topic of letting go and moving on. As Katherine discusses in the episode, you can Let Go - but still may not have Moved On. Mmmhhhmm. Katherine is diving into: Moving on without closure Sitting and facing yourself Creating space for God and for healing Questioning what yo...

"One of the most painful things we will ever have to do is grieve someone who is still living." This has been the MOST requested topic on TikTok - so here we are! You know this had to be a Two-Part! In this episode of "Letting Go," Katherine opens up about the grieving season she currently has found herself in. She mentions a Youtube video about despair by Shannon Evette, here's the link: https://...

"Many of us are choosing from our wound - not our worth." In "Part 2: Let's Talk Relationships," Katherine continues to discuss the different dynamics of relationships, getting especially personal about her own recent revelations. A lot of our relational choices can be traced back to our childhood, Katherine explains that we are not necessarily choosing "people," but repeating "patterns." Some ref...

Everyone has a different perspective when it comes to relationships, each of our experiences is different, as well as the examples we've each had modeled to/for us.  Learning about love languages, different forms of intimacy, being led by her partner, and operating out of masculine and feminine energy are a few topics Katherine opens about in this week's episode.  Although Katherine shar...

We are so inundated with dating/relationship "Do's and Don't's," our timelines and social media feeds are full of everyone else's thoughts and opinions on the matter. In this episode, although Katherine shares her own personal experiences, lessons, and desires - above all else - she encourages listeners to take it to God. To ask God what He wants for you, what He desires for you.  Many times...
