Hey Sis! After a relationship has ended, many women experience FOMO (fear of missing out). They believe they have to get back out there as soon as possible so they don’t miss out on “the one.” That way of thinking is dangerous. In my opinion, there’s a process you need to go through before dating again. If you’re thinking about dating again, but you’re unsure about whether or not you’re ready, ask yourself 5 questions first. Join me on today’s episode where I help you to really get the wheels tu...

Hey Sis! In this impossible season, I know it’s hard to think about purpose right now, but I really need you to shift your mindset, Sis! Don’t waste the pain from your broken heart.

Check out my segment from the Called and Confident Virtual Summit that was hosted by Shayla Hilton (host of the Called and Confident Podcast). It was such valuable information that I couldn’t l...

Hey Sis! Have you ever been cheated on? How did that make you feel about yourself? Most women struggle with their confidence and self worth after their significant other cheats on them.

I have a good idea of what you’re thinking and the questions you’re asking yourself. That’s why I created this episode. There are some things you need to know...

Hey Sis! Are you fresh out of a relationship? I’m talkin just broke up. First, let me say I’m sorry that you’re here. This is the place no one wants to be. I call this the “survival phase.” During this time you’re literally just trying to make it from one moment to the next without coming completely undone. You’re trying to look like nothing is wrong or maybe just not cry in front of your coworkers. I remember this time all too well. Although you may not be able to see it right now, better days ...

Hey Sis! I’m glad to be back reading another devotion from my book. Today’s devotion is about getting confirmation about something God already spoke to you. The scripture reference is Joshua 1:18 (NLT). Sometimes God calls us to do some pretty audacious things. More often than not, His plans for our lives will take us out of our comfort zone. So me, personally, if I’m not sure God spoke, I’m not too quick to act on things. I mean what if I was wrong. I think this is big and scary! And there’s th...

Hey Sis! I know all too well what it’s like to lie in bed with a broken heart and say, “I can’t do this again.” When we put ourselves out there and end up hurt, that's a hard thing to come back from. You might be thinking you’ll never love again. However, you may also have that lingering desire for relationship, love, and marriage. Both things can be true at the same time. If you find yourself in this place of wondering how in the world can you love again, you’re in the right place. Join me on t...

Hey Sis! This may be hard to believe, but this breakup really could be the best thing that ever happened for you. It’s not for the cliche’ reason, “so you can find someone better.” No! I mean this could genuinely be the best thing for you in so many ways. Believe it or not, this breakup has already set some things in motion for your future, but it’s up to you how it all plays out. Will you let this pain take you out or propel you forward? Use this season of heartbreak and healing as a time for r...

Hey Sis This question might make you a little uncomfortable, but have you ever been jealous of another woman? Be honest. I think we have all been at least a little jealous at least once in our lives. I know I dealt with it in my single seasons. Now let’s be really honest, is jealousy something you’re struggling with in your current season as a single Christian woman. We don’t talk about it enough because there’s a lot of shame associated with this emotion. However, we are exposing and treating i...

Hey Sis! We’re back with devotional readings like we never left. Let’s pick up in part 6 of the book. Today’s devotion is about those 2 dreadful words, “What If.” The scripture reference is Exodus 4:13 (NLT). Life is scary, and it becomes scarier when God calls you. But here’s the thing Sis, God calls all of us at some point time and time in each of our lives. The question is, what will you say or do when He calls you? You can ignore Him or say no when he calls. But if you do, I think you’ll pro...

Hey Sis, How often have you heard the phrase, “I just want to be happy!” Maybe you even said it a few times. I know I have. That’s all anyone wants, right, to just be happy? But what if I told you there’s something better than just being happy. What if I told you that you could find true and lasting JOY! Now, you may be asking, “what’s the difference?” I’ll explain in today’s episode, and I’ll also share how to choose joy over happiness. I’m going to have some practical things for you to do, and...

Hey Sis! There are so many aspects to the heart healing journey, and sometimes it includes finances. This is especially true if you were married or shared financial responsibility with a significant other. Today’s guest, Omeika, knows all about this topic.

Hey Sis! I think we can all agree that heartbreak is devastating. But it can be especially difficult to walk away from a relationship with the person you know and love to walk into a purpose that you’re not sure about. If anyone knows about this, it’s today’s guest, Shayla Hilton. God had big plans for Shayla, but the man she loved at the time was not a part of them. Shayla had a big decision to make, and thankfully, she chose to obey God. Here’s a little more about Shayla: She is a minister, sp...

Hey Sis! This is our first episode in the month of March! And we are finally getting to the last section of the book, which is all about purpose. Today’s devotion is about God giving you what you need to fulfill your purpose. The scripture reference is 2 Corinthians 9:8 (AMP). As you move forward to walking in the thing God has called you to do, you may feel like you’re not equipped for it. Have you ever heard that quote, “God doesn’t call the qualified. He qualifies the called.” That’s essentia...

Hey Sis! When you’re heartbroken, negative emotions are one of those things you have to learn to navigate through. Unfortunately, they come up more than you would like, and it may seem like there’s nothing you can do about it. I’ll be honest, it takes time for the negative emotions surrounding that breakup, your ex, and this season to completely disappear. That’s why the healing journey is so important. However, while you’re healing, there are things you can do in the moment when those negative ...

Hey Sis! We are at the end of February, which means today’s devotion is the last one I’m reading from part 1 of the book. But don’t worry! You’re going to love part 6, which is all about purpose after heartbreak. Today’s devotion is about abiding in God, and it’s so good. The scripture reference is John 15:4 (NKJV). The negative emotions that come up when we are heartbroken are unreal, and they have the ability to consume us. You have a choice to make. Are you going to be led by your emotions, o...

Hey Sis! Have you ever desired something in life, but it seems elusive to you, like you just can’t seem to grab it. We can’t have everything we want in life, and sometimes we just can’t have it exactly when we want it. God is good and gracious. He can see things in our futures that we cannot, so sometimes He tells us “NO!” When we desire something. At these times, know that God is not being mean. Remember that He is a good and loving Father, and He has good gifts and plans for you. I’m here to r...

Hey Sis! Instead of moving forward into the purpose piece of my book, I decided to bring it back one more time to Part 1 of my book, since Valentine’s Day is this month, and you may be having some struggles emotionally. Today’s devotion is about giving the very thing you need. The scripture reference is Proverbs 11:25 (AMP). Have you ever been so broken that you felt like you had nothing left to give or whatever you had just didn’t seem valuable at the time? Maybe you’re in that season right now...

Hey Sis! Today’s topic is a juicy one! Since your breakup has occurred, have you ever prayed to God, asking Him to help you and your ex get back together? This is actually a common prayer, especially in the earlier stages of a breakup. There’s so many uncertainties and questions about whether or not you made the right decision; because if you made the right decision, it shouldn’t hurt this bad…right? The pain from a heartbreak and missing your ex doesn’t discriminate. It just hurts, but don’t le...

Today’s devotion is about letting God fill your voids. The scripture reference is John 4:14 (AMP). Did you know there are actual voids in your heart and life when you lose the person you love? When you tie your life to someone, especially in an intimate way, when that person leav...

Hey Sis! Trying to find the perfect mate comes with so many challenges, but I think we forget just how challenging it can be to acquire new friendships as an adult. Then, there’s extra precautions we have to take after a breakup. Making friends can be scary anytime after high school and college, in my opinion; but it’s definitely not impossible. There are a number of ways you can connect with others to form new bonds that can last a lifetime. As Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching, I thought ...
