I BELIEVE THAT UNSUSTAINABLE DIETS AND EXERCISE REGIMENS ARE WHAT KEEP US STUCK IN THE WEIGHT LOSS AND WEIGHT GAIN CYCLE. I get you… I was you!

Hosted by Alix Carr-Harris, each episode takes listeners on a personal and sometimes raw story through the messy reality of changing her mind about expectations of relationships, aging, parenting, and business. This isn’t just storytelling—it’s a co ...

“When the disciples asked Jesus how to pray, he didn’t give them a formula for getting what they wanted. He gave them a prayer that begins by saying, ‘God, you are God — and I am not.’ It’s a prayer of surrender. The Lord’s Prayer calls us to let go — to open our empty hands for daily bread, to release our grudges, to trust God with the trials ahea…

“Sometimes, peace isn’t a feeling — it’s a decision. It’s what we choose to hold onto when respect gives way to resentment, when the people we once stood beside become distant. Even if you can’t fix the world — you can still be faithful in it. And that may be the truest peace of all.”The Rev. Dr. Alix D. Pridgen

Jesus sets his face toward Jerusalem—and everything changes. The road ahead is urgent. Costly. No time for goodbyes. No room for looking back. It sounds harsh—until we realize: he’s not raising the bar. He’s telling the truth about how hard it already is. Because when love is urgent, we don’t wait. Jesus walked into suffering—not to prove a point, …

"The time to have the map is before you enter the woods." - Brendon Burchard When I first heard this quote, I burst out laughing.

The challenge, I repeatedly discovered, is not only that we often rely on borrowed ma…

What we say, how we say it and what we hear all get filtered through the lenses of our stories. We assume a lot when we communicate. Clarity is one. When we are feeling charged, ready to go full-tilt-boogie, whether positively or negatively charged, messages can get lost in transmission and translation. We can forget to offer or to seek clarity in …

There is nothing like back to back family gatherings to highlight the “fun” in dysfunctional. I did not fall back on my new training, but rather my old conditioning.

Lighting up and listening to that which we've been conditioned to avoid as we heal is not only painful but awkward.

Doing the work to uncover our stories about who we are meant to be and to unravel those stories, is not light work.
