So today marks the end of Season 1 of The Woman God Created You to Be Podcast, and I can’t thank you enough for supporting me over these last few months in such a huge way, as it has truly meant the world to me in more ways than I can explain!

Believe, Have Faith, and Never Give Up

May 17th, 2021 7m 10s

So, no matter how strong and confident we may have been taught to be…or how strong and confident we may believe we are, the fact of the matter is, we are still human. Which means that, every now and then, we will experience times in our lives w

Anxiety is Very Real

May 10th, 2021 7m 48s

Before the year 2014, no one could have told me that I would begin suffering with anxiety or that I would eventually begin having anxiety attacks—one of which became a panic attack that sent me to the emergency room. But here’s the thing: not o

Be Yourself, No Matter What

May 3rd, 2021 7m

So, here’s the thing. Whether we believe we’re good enough or not, personally or professionally, we are who we are. We are the individual women whom God created us to be, and what I can also promise you is that He never, ever makes any mistakes

Having a True Relationship with God

Apr 26th, 2021 8m 4s

So, if you’ve had a chance to read my book, The Woman God Created You to Be, then you know about the long-time struggle I once had when it came to forgiving others. And you also know that, at one point, I became lax with praying, reading my Bib

It's Never Too Late to Live Out Your Dreams

Apr 19th, 2021 7m 45s

You have, of course, heard that old cliché a thousand times…you know the one that says, “Age is just a number?” But here’s the thing…that old cliché is still so absolutely true. Because age really is just a number, and no matter how old you get

Me Time is Very Necessary

Apr 12th, 2021 7m 46s

So, here’s the thing. It really is important for us to carve out some “me time” on a pretty regular basis. Why? Because for the most part…we tend to place ourselves last on our to-do lists. Or worse, we don’t even include ourselves or our own w

Prayer Really Does Make a Difference

Apr 5th, 2021 9m 14s

So, one of the things I am most grateful about is the fact that my mom and maternal grandparents taught me how to pray at a very young age. Because even though when I was in my late teen years, as well as in my twenties, I sometimes became a li

When Bad Things Happen

Mar 29th, 2021 10m 30s

It was many years ago when my mom began telling me that for everything bad, something good comes out of it, and even in the worst of times, I have never seen her proven wrong. This is also the reason I share this sentiment with anyone who might

You Are Fearfully and Wonderfully Made

Mar 22nd, 2021 9m 36s

As women, we sometimes ask ourselves if we’re good enough. Now, of course, it is true that most of us do know that God has certainly designed each of us to be more than good enough. But nonetheless, many of us will still ask ourselves if we’re

Your Purpose and Reputation on Social Media

Mar 15th, 2021 10m 24s

So, I have always believed that, as women, we have an obligation to uphold and protect our reputations. As girls, most of us were taught to have respect for ourselves so that others would respect us in return, and to me, this tradition and way

God Always Wins

Mar 8th, 2021 9m 12s

So, here’s the absolute truth: The enemy is a loser, and God wins every single time…in every single situation. Which also means that even when we lose—or at least when we believe we’ve lost a certain battle or even lost someone we love—in the e

Be Successful Without Jeopardizing Your Faith

Mar 1st, 2021 8m 16s

As a published writer, I have made it a point to handle my business with as much integrity, decency, and diplomacy as possible. Of course, there have certainly been times when I have had to stand up for myself and when I have shared my thoughts

Childhood Pain and Disappointment

Feb 22nd, 2021 9m 12s

So, there is something I have always believed to be true, which is the fact that your childhood really will affect you for the rest of your life…regardless of whether you were blessed to grow up having lots and lots of happy times or if you had

Losing Faith and Wanting to Give Up

Feb 15th, 2021 11m 37s

In January 1999, when my mom’s neurosurgeon and radiologist jointly told her and me that they’d done all they could do for her, I remember feeling as though a knife had sliced my body in two. It was the most painful news I’d ever been told, and

Pray, Plan, Practice, and then Proceed

Feb 8th, 2021 9m 23s

So, here’s the thing…whether you’re trying to discover your purpose, start a business or start a women’s ministry of some kind—or maybe you simply just have a certain project you need to begin working on. Well, if this is true, then today I am

Comparing Yourself to Others

Feb 1st, 2021 9m 36s

So, I have a question for you. “Do you compare yourself to others?” If so, you are certainly not alone, because unfortunately, comparing ourselves to others is a normal characteristic of human behavior. Still, it’s not necessarily a good thing—

Living by The Golden Rule

Jan 25th, 2021 11m 51s

The whole idea of not judging others can sometimes be very hard to understand—especially when people continue saying and doing some truly awful things. But as women of God, what we still have to remember—what we still have to keep in mind—wheth

Supporting and Celebrating Other Women

Jan 18th, 2021 11m 23s

One of the most important things women can do is support other women. This, of course, is something that should happen automatically, but sadly, support from some women can sometimes be nonexistent. I mean, there is no doubt that none of us wil

Not Everyone Wishes You Well

Jan 11th, 2021 12m 7s

When I was in my twenties, my mom told me that not everyone wishes you well. But while I certainly understood what she was saying, and I appreciated her wisdom, it wasn’t until years later, in my early thirties, that I began experiencing what s

Do it afraid!

Jan 4th, 2021 11m 4s

Being afraid is a feeling I know all too well because while in 1995, I did have the confidence to begin writing my first book, and I finished it by the end of that year, I was still rejected by every single literary agent I submitted my work to

Discovering Your True Purpose

Dec 28th, 2020 13m 21s

There is no denying that 2020 has been one of the toughest and most trying years you and I have ever experienced. But what I also know is that God is still God, and that I will continue to trust Him and keep my faith strong through all of it. I

Do you need to forgive someone?

Dec 21st, 2020 11m 15s

As I sit remembering the reason for this holiday season and also thinking about how tough our current year has been, I am still so truly grateful to have yet one more opportunity to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Becau

Suffering in Silence, Mentally and Emotionally

Dec 14th, 2020 12m 12s

So, my question for you today is…are you suffering in silence, mentally and emotionally? There is no doubt that many, many people are suffering in silence because of our unfortunate pandemic, but I’m also asking this question because for years,

Are you the real woman God created you to be?

Dec 7th, 2020 18m 15s

Are you the real woman God created you to be? Do you want to become her? Have you wondered how to make that happen? In today’s episode, I share how for longer than I realized—I wasn’t being the real woman God created me to be. But the good news
