Imperfect Dreamer

What's up dreamers and welcome to episode 30! Today's episode is a rebroadcast of episode 13 Forever LSU. I believe that this episode will inspire you to remember why you do what you do. I believe that in this episode you can remember how short life is and how beautiful life is when we really remember all the great things that God has done and where He has brought us. I am joined by my best friend Vacie and we talk about our journey and our testimony. Get ready to laugh! We will be back for Season 4 of Imperfect Dreamer November 2nd and I can't wait for this next season. Enjoy dreamers!

Welcome dreamers to episode 29! In today's episode, we talk about the importance of making the daily decision to live this life that we are called to live. At times we can still walk in shame, unforgiveness, and even bitterness, but God has called out us out of the past and into the new. His mercies are made new every morning and we have the choice to live in this truth. So it is up to us to choose if we will live life holding onto the things that are not of God. We have the gift to live free and new. Are you ready to let go of the old and walk into the new? Brand New Topics: [3:30] - Is Anything I'm Doin' Brand New?

In today's episode, we talk about how important it is to be completely present in our everyday lives. We are all so eager to move to the "next thing" that we sometimes forget to enjoy the very life that we currently have. This season may be confusing, traumatic, and hard, but we can still celebrate the little things and breathe in the joy of today. Time Flies! Let's not fly past these moments. Instead let's grow, embrace those around us, breathe, and begin to truly live.

Let's be honest, 2020 has been a tough year for many of us. All of our lives have changed in some way which can lead us to feeling extremely disappointed. This disappointment can be overwhelming and make us question our dream/purpose. In today's episode, we talk about remembering our why and how important is to keep our head up during this time. Although it is hard to see what lies ahead, we can believe in faith that God will do what He said He will do. Are you willing to stand strong and keep your head up?

What's up dreamers! Can we be honest for a minute? 2020 has not been the year that any of us thought it would be. We are constantly bombarded with tragic news and it seems like when things begin to get better something happens that leaves our hearts heavy. We're supposed to go through everyday like nothing's happening but how can we when chaos is all around us? In today's episode, we talk about how we really are gonna be alright. Tough times build tough people and through faith, love, and hope, we can and will get through this thing together.

In today's episode, we talk about the importance of checking our motives in everything we do. God wants to do more through us than we could ever imagine, but our heart has to be in alignment with what He wants in order to get to the place where He's called us to be. It's time we step up, let go of selfish motives and really live in freedom so that we can become who we were created to be. It's time to level up within and do what we have been called to do and enjoy life the way we are intended to.

In today's episode we talk about the importance of forgiveness and how much our internal issues affect our dream. Many times we walk around trying to ignore our past and what has happened to us because we don't want to go back to that place. However, if we want to walk in purpose and do the things that God has called us to do we have to let go and truly rebuild our spirit. Not only do we have to rebuild what has been broken, but we have to refocus and get in alignment so that we can experience and rejoice at how great life is. Are you ready to rebuild, refocus, and rejoice? Rebuild, Refocus, Rejoice Topics: [6:00] - Rebuild[15:00] - Heal That Thing [17:00] - Refocus [21:00] - Pray It Out

What's up dreamers! As we know 2020 has been an extremely tough year on all of us and sometimes we can get so caught up in what's wrong in our world that we forget the blessings in our everyday life. In this episode, we talk about the importance of expressing gratitude and how when we give thanks, we begin to see that our lives aren't as bad as we think they are. Today I want us to laugh and remember in the midst of suffering, life can still be enjoyed.

In today's episode we discuss how important it is for us to have patience when going after our dreams. Many times we try and force our dream to come overnight when in reality it's necessary to be patient so that we can see our dreams come to pass. Your dream is yours and ready for you to make a move.

When you wake up what is the first thing that you do? Do you grab your phone? Do you check Instagram? Why are we drawn to social media? Why are we so obsessed with looking at other people’s highlight reels? In today's episode we talk about our need to WAKE UP. God has a purpose for us but if we don't wake up and start living intentionally we will miss our opportunity to do great things in this world. Today we are going to figure out where we are sleeping in our life and how we wake up. Are you ready?Wake Up Topics: [3:00] - Wake Up!

What do we do when life keeps going but we feel stuck? When life keeps hitting you and you're walking around with unseen pain. In this episode, we talk about really breaking free from the things that have held us back. We talk about what it means to not run from the pain and problems but to run to the One who will heal our wounds. This episode holds a lot of hard truths but I believe that this is the time where we can finally take a look at our wounds and HEAL! Season Finale of SZN 2!

In this episode, we talk about how important it is to get up 10 when life hits. The grind is cool and all, but we also need to remember how important rest is. We are living in tough times and if we don't prioritize our health we can't be the imperfect dreamers that God has called us to be. Life is challenging but we must make amends with our mistakes and get back up to fall into the purpose that that God has for our life!

What up dreamers! In today's episode we are going to talk about our heart. Touchy subject right? But if we want this world to change, we must first look within to see what is in our own heart. Are we bringing love into this world or are we bringing hate? One of the first steps we can do is to look at our own issues. We need to educate ourselves and be aware of what is going on but we also need to know how to bring peace and love to those around us even when it's difficult. Loving our enemies is hard, but it is what may be the start to a new world. Issa Heart Issue Topics: [1:00] - Introduction[5:00] - Issa Heart Issue[8:30] - Love 'Em Anyways [15:00] - Freedom

In this episode, we talk about what it means to continue this fight for consistency in our fight for justice. We need to be consistent in speaking up for what's right and what's wrong. We need to be consistent in fighting for black lives and for our calling. We are committed to being the change, not just for a moment, but for the rest of our lives.

A week ago from today, George Floyd's life was taken from him within 8 minutes and 46 seconds. It has been a heartbreaking week for many of us, so it is only right to honor him and to be extremely sensitive to what is going on in our world right now because black lives DO matter.

Hey imperfect dreamer! You're in for a treat today. In today's episode we talk about Joseph The Dreamer and how we too can get from the pit to the palace. However, to get to the palace, we gotta work. We can't just sit around and wait for someone to hand us our best life, we gotta work for it! We gotta earn it! You have a dream and God wants you to flourish in it. Are you ready to work with Him?

Welcome back imperfect dreamers! We're back with Season Two of Imperfect Dreamer and in this episode we're talking about how important it is to be personally disciplined. Many of us are inside of our homes due to the Coronavirus outbreak, and we are trying to figure out the best way to maneuver through this season. We all have dreams and goals but are we disciplined enough to stick to our word? To stick to our word about eating healthier? To stick to our word about growing closer in relationship with God? It's ok... me either. But I want us to really strive to be great in these next few weeks and discipline ourselves so that we are prepared for our next level.

How many of us are tired of doing things to seek others validation? I’ll be the first to admit. I post some things or post certain pictures hoping a specific person will see it. Or I’ll say something that I don't 100% believe to make someone else feel comfortable. But wait. That means I’m not living my life truly for God or myself. That means I’m living my life for other people. I’m actually a slave to other’s opinions of who I am. Our goal should not to be to impress others or to be ok in others eyes. Our goal shouldn't be to get the most likes/achieve more clout. Our goal should be to be game changers. To shock the world with the God given gift that He has given us. To show who God is by performing at the level He wants us to perform at. It’s time to enjoy every single moment of life not just the highlights. It’s time to claim our crown. Claim our victory. We were brought into this world to be victorious and to not let life just slip under our feet. Season Finale of Imperfect Dreamers is here! We will return with Season 2 April 27th. Let's get it!

In this episode, we're going to talk about how we can maximize our time during this CoronaVirus epidemic in our world. It is easy to fall into old habits and seek God less, but what if we do the exact opposite? What if, during this time of rest, we grow closer to God, finally create a clear vision for our dreams and continue to work hard on our craft. What would it look like if we strayed away from worrying about tomorrow and instead focused on the present opportunity we have in our hands right now. When this is all over, will you be happy with what you accomplished during this quarantine or will you wish you had the time back? We're not going to look at our surroundings as a threat, but instead we're gonna trust God and Reset It and Reverse It. Let's get it!

So we have this dream. We have been working at it and we have a vision for where we want this dream to be. However, many times we forget to actually stop and pause to realize that dreams aren’t just built over night. We live in a time where everything is given to us right at that moment to where we’re called the “microwave generation”. We are so impatient and once something doesn’t work out a lot of us can just automatically give up because it’s too hard. In this episode, we talk about addictions and how some of our demons can be the result of our frustrations with chasing the dream. We also talk about J. Cole and his album KOD that showed us a lot about the danger of not dealing with our addictions. Excited for this one. Let's get to it Imperfect Dreamers! J.

Ashley Graham was truly sent on this earth at this time for this moment. She is a woman who is unapologetic about the way she looks. And guess what? She’s one of the baddest in the game. In this episode, we are going to talk about Ashley Graham and Demi Lovato's latest conversation and talk about the importance of having confidence and mental stability for everything in our life.

In this episode, Nathan Castro and Savacia Farmer join me to talk music, building the dream, and maintaining being the light through it all. We talk about the Grammy Award Winning producer Zaytoven and his recent sit down with Talib Kweli where he talks about success, his journey, and his walk with God. I had a blast with these two and we really dissected what it means to go get it and the sacrifices that come with chasing the dream. You even get a little remix of some old school Riff Raff.

Sometimes in life we think that everyone else is our enemy when really, we are our own worst enemy. There is a constant mind game that we play with ourselves everyday. We battle thoughts of failure, insecurity, and unbelief in who we are. In today's podcast, we're going to talk about letting go of fighting our calling and finally choosing to believe we are everything that God has called us to be. All it takes is letting go of the negative labels we've given ourselves and speaking true life into our mind and soul. We are powerful. We are incredible just the way we are. We are warriors. We ready for combat. We ready for this new level. We ready to truly love ourselves, because if we don't believe and trust in the gifts we currently have, who will?

In this episode, we're talking about what and where we spend our time on. It’s really scary to think about how much time we may have wasted on pointless things rather than things that will benefit our overall well being. Whether it be working out, working on our spiritual health, or achieving the dreams that we’ve been putting off for so long. With the distractions of this world it’s almost impossible to stay off of our phones and really dive into what God wants for our lives. So how can we make the best of what we have right now? I decided to be completely vulnerable and open up about my own struggles with time so that we can all realize, we're not alone. We're in this together and everyday we will get better. Our first step is to admit the issue and God will do the rest!

Get your Drake playlist ready, it's time to talk about the forbidden word... feelings! It's Valentine's week so what better way to kick off the week than with a little bit of love. Love is a beautiful gift from God but how many of you know we can really become heartbroken in a second. Heartbreak isn't easy but if we don't talk about it how can we heal? Love is something that we all search for, so why does it seem like this world sometimes exemplifies so much hate? It's time to have a positive outlook on our relationships, loved ones, and even past hurts. So without further ado, let's get into it Imperfect Dreamers. Justin Bieber - Intentions ft.

We are all looking for satisfaction in this life. We want to look back and know that we worked hard, achieved our goals, and lived our life to the fullest. What if we are looking for satisfaction in the wrong places? In this episode, I'm joined by Savacia Farmer to talk about Kanye West's Sunday Service in Miami and what it means to make God the center of our life despite our past. We want to get real, share our testimony, and show that we all have made mistakes. No one is perfect, and that's why we are called to be Imperfect Dreamers. Get ready to laugh and enjoy this ride with your favorite duo!

So you have a dream but you're not sure how or where to start. Every time you get a step closer to fulfilling this dream, you feel resistance. We all go through it. We deal with fear, anxiety, and worry about if anyone will like our ideas and if they will see the vision the way we see it. But guess what. Why not just... do it? Why not risk losing followers who don’t believe in what or who you believe in? Why not go for the dream that is in your heart that someone told you would never work. Why not do the thing that scares you? Why not be 100% truthful to who you are and what you’ve been through? Life is short. We have to truly live it before we go back and constantly think for the rest of our lives “WHAT IF”. In this episode we're going to dive into getting down to the root of why we are so hesitant to step into the new vision we have for our lives. Get your coffee and get ready for a word!
