This was a Patreon exclusive that we received the go-ahead to share with you. If you want more exclusive content lik…

Hubs and I sat down to talk about our unpopular approach to submission to one another in our marriage. We really treat each other as equals versus the commonplace approach of the wife being almost subservient to the husband. We divide and concur home tasks and both contribute financially. We know that this is OUR approach to marriage, which may not…

If you are in an interracial marriage, PLEASE stop using your black spouse to hide your subtle racism! ⁣⁣Because white spouses in mixed-race marriages are not exempt! You CAN be married and DEEPLY in love with a black person and STILL have discriminatory thoughts and habits that are buried deep & still need to be purged.⁣⁣ WHY? Because our society …

Today, I am here with my good friend Silver, to dispel the myth of black on black crime & other misinformation about the black community!

He is looking for clarity on his ignorant thoughts so…⁣…

This was HEAVY on my heart, so I pulled out my phone to talk during one of my walks last week. I debated uploading it, but after the resurrection sermon I heard today, I knew I needed to be obedient.⁣ ⁣ God is NOT surprised by this worldwide pandemic we are currently living through!⁣ ⁣ There is a very clear separation that is occurring WITHIN the b…

Can you guess what my biggest hack to stay consistent with my fitness is? I can tell you one thing, it’s not a lose-fat-quick scheme or an unrealistic "internet plan". I do have several methods that I use to get me back in a fitness grove after I have fallen off the wagon (follow up podcast soon come), but the one I talk about in today's episode, a…

What's Next? John (hubs) quit his job 9 months ago, and we moved to Memphis during our #SupernaturalSummer season. Since it's now almost spring and we're still here in Memphis...

I have been married for 5 years, and I absolutely love my husband. I have just as much fun with him now as I ever did, and we have been hanging out since 2010.

It has been a while since I've done an Ask Jená episode on this podcast. Fortunately, I received a question via my Instagram DM's and I knew I needed to share my response on the show.

I get a fair number of emails in my inbox from companies that want to partner. It’s always exciting and I am always honored. Over time I’ve learning to not hastily jump into deals without first counting the cost. In today’s podcast, I am reading through a couple of emails that I have received where companies ask for a lot without giving hardly anyt…

If you are a purpose-driven entrepreneur, it is going to be vital that you are lead by what the Holy Spirit is telling you to do NOT your NUMBERS. If the Holy Spirit is navigating your life, business, and creative experiences, then your numbers can NOT be your measure of success. Too often, we worry about how many followers we have, and we forget W…

Most recently I’ve found myself in-between being consistently talking to God and being caught up with work. I had been praying and asking God to confirm some things for me. It reached a fever pitch! I found myself walking and praying SO MUCH, but I was getting annoyed that I wasn’t receiving any direction. This made me feel completely lost and a ta…

I was in therapy for over a year, and only my husband and 2 of my friends knew. YEAP! My parents didn't even know! Therapy was something I did for ME. I didn't start going to sessions because my life was at rock bottom. I was actually at a relatively good place mentally and emotionally when I started. However, I knew that I had some HIDDEN limiting…

It is truly a goal of mine to heal my body naturally! I think modern medicine has been very helpful but I also think it has become a crutch for many. Often times medicine masks the symptoms instead of healing the root cause. Recently, I went to see a naturopathic doctor to help me along my journey of healing my gut, hormones, vision, teeth, and ski…

I have started the journey of studying my word and meditating on scriptures (and I have REALLY been enjoying it). I ask for your prayers as I dig deeper and work on staying committed to the process.

God has been dealing with me to be more vocal about all things money as it relates to personal finances and business/branding.

It's time to talk about the elephant in the room! Over the last few years, your girl has gained some weight. Some intentional some not!

I had a dream a couple of days ago and felt a strong urge to share it with you. Since this was recorded, God is yet and still revealing things to me! One of the biggest takeaways I got from this dream was that I need to stop being around people, going certain places, listen to certain podcasts, watching certain movies/videos, holding on to certain …

Question How do you know when God is telling you to do something? I only ask bc I've been a Christian like since birth, it was instilled in me, I even went to a Christian college. And I've gotten to the point to where I'm slowly losing my faith, bc I feel like I don't know what he's saying, or if he's even talking to me. Today, I take a stab at ans…

If you are at a point in your life that you are letting fear hinder or control you, let’s talk! The truth about fear is that EVERYONE faces it at multiple times throughout life.

After a year of transitions and focusing on doing things God wanted me to do, He showed me a few things. Mainly that I was spreading myself too thin and focusing on things that HE never instructed me to do. Due to that, I have had the singular focus of ONLY doing what I feel God is calling me to do. Nothing more or less. In that time of transition,…
