proud, grateful, and choosing family and shout to Allison mae Go Follow her on Tiktok and on Snapchat

this episode of the plot twist unfilter I talk about the season where I stop explaining myself

today's episode is about something I'm still learning how to do, giving myself grace, not excuses, not denial, grace.

today's episode is about learning as I go not having all the answers not getting it right all the time and being okay with that

loving a child you don't fully understand doesn't make you weak it means you care deeply

I got a message from a listener and they asked a really good question they wanted to know when my husband will be back on the podcast to talk more about his recovery so I wanted to take the time to answer that today

I'm reading my book whispers of a silent heart Bella must battle a speech impediment and an abusive father and a stupid boy who breaks her heart her best friend and young man from her childhood becomes the beacon of Hope that saves her but is he enough to save her from herself

okay listen today is funny not deep not emotional just real life being disrespectful

today I want to talk about something I don't talk about enough, stress, the overwhelm, the mental load of being a parent.

today I want to talk about something I'm learning in real time not something I mastered not something I have all the answers to just something I'm learning

today I want to talk about faith but in a simple way not the big moments not the dramatic stories just faith in everyday life

today I want to talk about faith not religion not rules but faith

I got a message from someone who listens to the podcast. they asked me a few questions about the podcast, my books, and why I do all of this. so today I'm answering them

after everything we've talked about lately the hard seasons, the fear, the chaos, I wanted to end this stretch with something softer. today is about faith and joy

okay we've cried enough, we've healed enough, we've been emotional enough today, we're laughing because if I don't laugh at my life, I will cry in the parking lot at Target and we're not doing that today.

After the last few episodes, I wanted to give all of us including myself a moment to breathe. this episode is light. is simple and it's about the little things that help keep me grounded.

Today I want to talk about my fifth pregnancy and what it was really like being a NICU parent while my own body was struggling too. before I do that I want to acknowledge something important because my story includes loss, love and survival

I want to take a moment to talk about the last episode; not to explain myself; not to hurt anyone and not to point fingers, but to share where my heart was when I spoke

today's episode is personal it's about my pregnancy it's about fear and it's about learning who really showed up when things get serious

lately I've noticed something about myself I've changed but I'm still kind and if you're on tiktok make sure that you follow @lifegetsrealquick

this episode is about becoming comfortable with who you are, not who you used to be, not who people expect you to be, not who people want you to be, but who you are right now

today's episode isn't about recovery it is about something I had to be honest with myself about and that is I used to need people to love me

In episode 6, I talk about what it means to choose yourself after years of being the strong one from motherhood to marriage to recovery, this episode is a reminder that rest, boundaries and self care are not selfish they're necessary

reflecting on the last episode

In this episode of plot twist on filter I sit down with my husband to talk about his recovery the real side people don't often hear about
