The Encourage Over Everything Show

ABOUT THIS EPISODEPull up a cozy seat, queen—this one's an inner-circle chat about building your Icon Blueprint with faith, focus, and follow-through. If you've got a God-sized vision but the “how” feels heavy, I'm handing you a gentle, grounded roadmap: sow the seeds, touch your dream daily, and prepare for the “suddenly.” Because miracles love a woman in motion.We're talking baby steps and bold moves—the tiny habits that stack and the courageous leaps that shift your season. You'll learn how to define a clear vision, align actions with values, practice gratitude that magnetizes, and create a simple quarterly → monthly → weekly rhythm that keeps you moving without burnout or perfectionism.By the end, you'll feel lighter, clearer, and fully resourced to play the long game with divine timing, not frantic hustling. Your dream life is built brick by brick—God's plan, pure perfection—and every seed you plant counts.KEY TAKEAWAYSICON BLUEPRINT = FAITH + ACTION: Sow daily seeds and be ready for your “suddenly.”TRUTH BOMB: Overwhelm isn't a sign to quit; it's a cue to simplify the next step.EMPOWERING SHIFT: From “all at once” to quarterly → monthly → weekly momentum.ALIGNED ACTION: Do one baby step + one bold move today. Touch the dream, don't just think it.THE SELF-LOVE 2-STEP: THE ICON BLUEPRINT — BABY STEPS + BOLD MOVESYour dream needs all sizes of steps—the tiny consistent ones that compound and the brave, visibility-making leaps. This two-part practice keeps you in motion without the spiral, so you can honor divine timing while taking aligned action every day.STEP 1 — SOW YOUR SEEDS (BABY STEPS): Pick one small, doable action that moves your vision forward today: send the email or make the call, journal or visualize your next milestone, declutter one vibe-killing space, turn off notifications after 8pm, request two phone-free dinners this week, or unfollow/mute 20 energy drains. Touch the dream daily.STEP 2 — SHOOT YOUR SHOT (BOLD MOVES): Choose one courageous action you've been avoiding: go LIVE, deliver the pitch, book the interview, slide into the DMs for the collab, ask for the raise, block time for yourself without apology, or implement the boundary you've been postponing. Momentum loves decisiveness.Pro tip: Break the big annual goal into 4 quarterly goals, then into monthly focuses, then into weekly targets. Build in carryover space, expect detours, and quiet the negative self-talk with a reframe. Celebrate weekly and monthly progress—every seed matters.CHAPTERS00:00 Introduction: The Magic of Faith and Aligned Action00:34 Sacred Boundaries and Resources01:19 Embracing Big Dreams02:11 Overcoming Fear and Paralysis06:14 Defining Your Iconic Vision07:23 Touching the Dream Daily11:17 Taking Aligned Action17:28 The Myth of Overnight Success21:51 Living in Expectation of Great Things24:57 Playing the Long Game27:27 Conclusion: Keep Sowing Seeds

ABOUT THIS EPISODEIn this heart-to-heart, we get honest about the moment your needs meet your nerves.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE:Pull up a spot on the couch, friend—this one's a full-body exhale. Today we're talking self-empowerment, self-acceptance, and what really happens when you water down your truth to stay “likable.” If you've ever dimmed to keep the peace, said “sorry” when you meant “thank you,” or edited your brilliance to fit the room…this is your permission slip to stop. We're normalizing the shrink (nervous system stuff, not character flaws), practicing emotional regulation so your voice lands like truth—not tension—and choosing authenticity over approval, every time. You'll get clean language for boundaries and a grounded journaling moment to reconnect with what you really think, need, and want. Expect a loving nudge, a firm standard, and that hit of Main Character Energy that reminds you who you are. This is personal growth you can feel and self-love you can act on—because confidence isn't a mood; it's a practice.KEY TAKEAWAYS:You do not have to apologize for your power.Shrinking is a nervous system strategy, not your identity.You are not dramatic. You are accurate.Most sorry's are fear in a trench coat.You don't have to ‘sorry' your way out of your own power.Your frequency will be too expensive for some, and that's okay.You are no longer available to silence or censor yourself.We don't shrink, we shine.You are safe to be yourself, so keep creating your own safety.Plus: Emotional regulation makes authenticity land; boundaries protect self-acceptance; journaling reveals the next brave ask; confidence grows by reps, not permission.CHAPTERS:00:00 Embracing Your Power02:37 Recognizing and Honoring Your Truth04:56 Practicing Self-Recognition and Acceptance07:44 Understanding Shrinking and Self-Abandonment09:35 The Cost of Silence and Self-Betrayal11:47 Apologizing and Setting Boundaries13:55 Power Leaks and Reparenting Yourself16:00 Communicating Boundaries with Clarity19:17 The Importance of Self-Respect21:51 Accepting Compliments and Acknowledging Your Worth23:27 Self-Love in Action25:13 Navigating Relationships and Boundaries27:19 The Signal of Shrinking29:04 Choosing Wholeness Over Scarcity31:12 Final Thoughts on Power and Authenticity38:37 Empowerment Through Sharing and ConnectionTHE SELF-LOVE 2-STEP:When life starts pulling you back into people-pleasing, come home to this quick reset.

ABOUT THIS EPISODEPull up a cozy seat on the couch, friend—this one's personal. If you've felt the sting of rejection in business, relationships, or life and your confidence took a hit, this episode is your breath back. We're reframing the “no” as a reroute (not a resignation), calming the nervous system, and rebuilding from a place of self-awareness, self-love, and resilience—so your personal growth isn't just a quote on your vision board, it's your everyday mindset.I walk you through my Five C's Comeback framework, how to partner with your ego instead of battling it, and how to stack tiny, courageous wins that rebuild empowerment you can feel.

Think of it as a quick nervous-system reset and an identity reminder you can use anywhere (yes, even in the car before the meeting). These two lines bring your power, confidence, and resilience back online—fast.STEP 1 — ACKNOWLEDGE “I acknowledge the sting and how hard I tried. I'm staying with the part of me that feels scared.”STEP 2 — AFFIRM THE ASSIGNMENT “This isn't punishment; it's preparation. I'm qualified for this moment. I can start again—wiser, lighter, more aligned.”Say it in your own voice—your body believes you.

ABOUT THIS EPISODERemember when you were little, you believed you could be anything. Astronauts, artists, CEO, even Barbie had the wardrobe and accessories to prove it. But somewhere along the way, the message shifted. Instead of “you can do anything,” it became “be realistic, don't want too much.” And just like that, so many women were conditioned to check their dreams at the door.In this empowering episode, we're ripping up that outdated script and writing a new one. I'm diving into how you can embrace your Main Character Energy, remix those classical roles like mom, wife, employee, and leader, and infuse them with the bold desires of your heart. We're talking authenticity, women empowerment, self-love, community, and what it really means to expand instead of shrink.You'll learn why failure isn't the opposite of success—it's the pathway to it, how to reconnect with your buried dreams (or dream a brand new one), and a secret method I usually only share with clients.If you've been feeling restless, unfulfilled, or like your desires are “too much,” this episode is your permission slip to stop playing small and start believing in infinite possibilities for your life.KEY TAKEAWAYSIt's time to reconnect with what you really want.Main character energy is a decision, not just a vibe.You can have it all without shrinking yourself.Failure is a pathway to success, not the opposite.Dreams can evolve as you grow; it's okay to change them.The possibilities for your life are infinite.CHAPTERS00:00 Rediscovering Dreams and Ambitions08:25 The Power of Authenticity and Support18:02 Redefining Failure and Success26:46 Embracing Infinite Possibilities31:34 Empowerment Through Sharing and ConnectionTHE SELF-LOVE 2-STEPHere's the part that makes it simple and powerful—because you know I love giving you practical tools. The Self-Love 2-Step is your way to start moving toward your dreams without overwhelm.✨ Step 1: Name the Dream. Write down one dream you've been shrinking, shelving, or secretly sketching in your mind. Don't edit. Don't apologize. Just name it. If nothing comes to mind right away, give yourself grace. Dreams often show up through journaling, reflecting, or following what sparks joy. Remember—clarity comes through curiosity, not pressure.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE:Hey friend—tell me if this sounds familiar: you're showing up, doing all the things, checking the boxes, putting in the work… and yet it feels like nothing's changing. You start to wonder, “Am I even moving forward, or am I just running in circles?”I've been there, and I know how discouraging that can feel. But let me pour into you with this truth: you are not stuck, you are not behind, and you are absolutely not wasting your effort. Progress isn't always obvious—it's often invisible at first, happening beneath the surface like roots digging deep before a flower blooms. That's where confidence, empowerment, and transformation are built—in the quiet, hidden layers of personal growth and self-discovery.In this episode of Confident & Empowered – The Encourage Over Everything Show, we're unpacking how to recognize the invisible signs of growth, release the “should's” that keep you stuck, and embody your main character's energy even when the results aren't showing up yet. This is your reminder that every step, every choice, every drop of effort counts. You're not just trying—you're transforming. And friend, you are so much closer than you think.KEY TAKEAWAYS:Confidence isn't a vibe, it's a decision.You become confident by embodying it right now.Progress doesn't always clap its hands and announce itself.Your progress is already in motion.Growth is messy. It's non-linear.You are not stuck, you are steady.What if you're not behind at all?This detour, this delay, it's by divine design.You are closer than you think.Just because you can't see it doesn't mean you are not blooming.CHAPTERS:00:00 The Illusion of Stagnation03:36 Understanding Invisible Progress05:21 Spotting Hidden Shifts in Mindset05:53 The Non-Linear Nature of Growth08:01 Personal Stories of Growth and Transformation11:32 Reframing Expectations and Trusting the Process13:43 Celebrating Small Wins and Consistency17:23 Embracing the Journey and Trusting the Reroute19:42 Empowerment Through Sharing and ConnectionTHE SELF-LOVE 2-STEP:When progress feels invisible, this simple practice will remind you you're moving forward:Step 1: Spot Your Shift Ask: “What's one way I've grown in the last 6 months?” Maybe it's stronger boundaries, bouncing back faster, or simply not giving up. That's growth.Step 2: Celebrate Your Consistency Celebrate showing up—because the fact that you're still here, still trying, still moving? That's proof you're unstoppable.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE:Let's be real, Queen — hustle isn't bad. Hustle has its place. As ambitious women, we know there are seasons where hustle is necessary: building something from scratch, pushing through deadlines, or juggling the roles of mom, partner, leader, and visionary. Hustle can prepare the ground for greatness — but hustle was never meant to be your lifestyle.In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on what it really means to balance hustle with overflow. Because overflow is where your self-love, confidence, and empowerment truly shine. Overflow is when your productivity is fueled by rest and rejuvenation, not depletion. It's when you stop running on fumes and start living in fullness — in life, love, and leadership.Together, we'll talk about how to know when hustle is healthy or harmful, how to recondition yourself for overflow, and why learning to receive is one of the most powerful personal growth practices you'll ever master. By the end, you'll feel equipped to shift from grind to grace, so you can chase your ambitions without sacrificing your well-being.If you've ever felt like hustle was running you instead of fueling you, this conversation is for you. Because you don't just deserve to achieve — you deserve to overflow.KEY TAKEAWAYS:Hustle has its place, but it should never become a lifestyle.Healthy hustle is fueled by purpose, harmful hustle by proving.Overflow is a state of alignment, creativity, and confidence.Rest and rejuvenation are essential to real productivity.Self-love is what bridges hustle into overflow.You are worthy of joy, rest, and peace without having to “earn” it.CHAPTERS:00:00 The Necessity of Hustle11:03 The Self-Love Two-Step14:14 Recognizing Healthy vs. Harmful Hustle17:49 The Art of Receiving24:07 Empowerment Through Sharing and Connection✨THE SELF-LOVE 2-STEP: FROM HUSTLE TO OVERFLOWHere's the truth: shifting from hustle to overflow doesn't require a full lifestyle overhaul — it takes a simple, intentional reset. Your bridge from grind to grace.Step 1: Pause Before the Push When you feel yourself grinding on empty — racing, overthinking, or saying “yes” out of guilt — stop. Place your hand on your heart, close your eyes, and take 3 slow breaths. Ask yourself: “Am I doing this from fear, or from fullness?”Step 2: Choose Your Overflow Ritual Pick one nourishing action to refill: a 5-minute walk, a glass of water, stretching, journaling gratitude, dancing to your favorite song, prayer, or simply silence. The point isn't perfection — it's replenishment. This is how you condition overflow, one reset at a time.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE:Confidence doesn't disappear overnight—it slips away every time you ignore your own voice. And the way back? One small act of self-trust at a time.If you've ever found yourself polling the room, second-guessing every decision, or outsourcing your choices to everyone else, this episode will feel like a deep exhale. I'm pulling back the curtain on my own journey of constantly asking others what I should do—until life forced me to finally listen to myself. What I discovered changed everything: self-trust is the secret sauce to confidence, and confidence is the key that unlocks every door you're waiting to walk through.By the end of this episode, you'll know exactly why self-trust erodes, how to rebuild it (without waiting to “feel ready”), and the ripple effect it has on your life, love, and leadership. This isn't just theory—it's a formula. And Queen, once you start using it, your confidence won't just grow—it'll soar.KEY TAKEAWAYSConfidence isn't the starting point—it's the byproduct of self-trust.Self-trust is built through small promises kept, not grand gestures.Mistakes aren't permanent marks—they're invitations for growth.Every experience teaches you how to trust yourself better.Celebration reinforces your identity as trustworthy.Self-trust shifts how you show up in life, love, and leadership.CHAPTERS00:00 Embracing Main Character Energy01:00 The Journey to Self-Trust03:58 Building Self-Trust as a Foundation09:22 Rebuilding Self-Trust: The Self-Love Two-Step16:07 The Ripple Effect of Self-Trust20:11 Granting Yourself Permission to Trust21:12 Accelerating Your Confidence JourneyTHE SELF-LOVE 2-STEP: THE SELF-TRUST FORMULASo now that you see why self-trust gets shaky, let's talk about how to actually rebuild it. Rebuilding self-trust doesn't require giant leaps—it starts with something far smaller but way more powerful.✨ Step 1: Keep a Micro-Promise Real confidence is built in micro-moments. Every little promise you keep is a deposit in your “self-trust bank account.” Wake up when you said you would? Deposit. Ten-minute walk instead of scrolling? Deposit. Drink that glass of water? Deposit. These tiny wins prove to your brain: “I do what I say I'll do. I can trust myself.”✨ Step 2: Celebrate the Keep Here's the part most women skip. Celebration isn't fluff—it's identity reinforcement. Every time you pause and say, “Yes, I kept my word to myself,” you reinforce the truth: “I am a woman who can be trusted.” Without celebration, it's just a task. With celebration, it's transformation.Listen to the full episode for examples of micro-celebrations and why this method works.

ABOUT THIS EPISODEOkay friend — you've done the work to decide who you are now (YAY!). You're walking in your Main Character Energy (WHOOP WHOOP!). You're claiming your identity and showing up differently. But then… boom. A trigger hits, and suddenly you catch yourself reacting like the old you.Does that mean you've failed? Absolutely not. Slipping back is part of the process. In this episode, I'm unpacking how to recognize those moments without shame, how to re-anchor into your chosen identity quickly, and how to keep building momentum even when you fall into old patterns.This is about real-life transformation — not perfection. Because living as your new identity doesn't mean you never slip back, it means you know how to spot it, shift it, and stay committed to the version of you that you've decided to be. And the more you practice, the stronger your self-trust becomes.KEY TAKEAWAYSYou are worthy, ready, and already becoming the version of you who leads her life.Main character energy is a decision, not just a vibe.Your era isn't coming; it's already here.Recognize and love the old versions of yourself for their lessons.Slipping back into old patterns is normal and part of growth.Awareness of slipping back is a win, not a failure.You can reset your intentions at any moment.Create an environment that supports your new identity.Small daily decisions strengthen your new identity.Confidence is built through consistent action and self-acceptance.CHAPTERS00:00 Embracing Your New Identity09:37 Recognizing and Addressing Slips Back17:12 Building Resilience and Commitment to Change18:23 Empowerment Through Sharing and Connection✨ THE SELF-LOVE 2-STEPLiving as your new identity isn't about perfection — it's about commitment. And the fastest way to strengthen that commitment is to make it simple and doable every day. Think of it as your daily identity anchor — the thing that pulls you back into alignment with who you've decided to be.

EP 230. Main Character Energy — Reclaim Your Identity and Redefine Who You AreABOUT THIS EPISODEMain Character Energy – How to Decide Who You Are (Even After the World Already Defined You)Let's be real: the world has been trying to name you since birth. Parents, teachers, friends, exes, bosses — everybody has an opinion on “who you are.” And if you're not careful, you'll spend your whole life reacting to their labels instead of boldly choosing your own identity.In this episode, we're ripping off those outdated name tags and talking about how to decide who you are — even after the world already tried to decide for you. Because the truth is, you don't have to live trapped in old roles or past versions of yourself. You get to redefine, reinvent, and rise… starting today.This is your permission slip to stop letting old labels, roles, and criticism run the show. You are not frozen in time. You are not stuck in “who you used to be.” You are free to step into your Main Character Energy right now — and trust me, when you do, the world will adjust.

EP 229. The Self-Worth Reset — Stop Discounting Yourself in Life, Love, and BusinessOkay, real talk — why is it so easy to hype up our friends, see all their brilliance, and call out their greatness… but when it comes to us, we downplay, diminish, and straight-up discount our own worth?If you've been settling for crumbs in your relationships, undervaluing your time in business, or forgetting just how much you've overcome in life — this episode is your official Self-Worth Reset. We're ditching the clearance tag and putting you back on the top shelf where you belong.I'm talking about learning to see yourself through loving eyes (the same way my husband sees me even when I'm picking myself apart), reclaiming your value in life, love, and business, and creating daily proof that your worth is non-negotiable. Because when you know your value, you stop negotiating with people who want you cheap, and you start attracting the opportunities, love, and respect that match your level.This isn't just an episode — it's a reminder that you are the prize, the moment, the magic… and it's time the world — and you — treated you that way.KEY TAKEAWAYSYou often believe in your friends more than yourself.Main Character Energy is a decision, not just a vibe.Self-worth should be reset regularly.Check your life resume, not just your work resume.You are not a clearance item; you are priceless.Your worth is not negotiable.Celebrate your achievements, no matter how small.See yourself through the loving eyes of others.Stop allowing others to undervalue your time and expertise.You are already chosen — by you — so act like it.CHAPTERS00:00 The Self-Worth Reset03:24 Recognizing Discounting Behaviors05:46 Seeing Yourself Through Loving Eyes09:22 The Self-Love Two-Step13:45 Resetting Your Worth16:13 Embracing Your Value18:36 Empowerment Through Sharing and Connection✨ THE SELF-LOVE 2-STEP: YOUR SELF WORTH RESETIt's not enough to realize you've been discounting yourself — you have to choose a new way of valuing yourself and live it out daily.Step 1 — Check Your Resume Write down exactly what you bring to the table — skills, strengths, qualities, and lived experiences. This is your Life Resume.Step 2 — Celebrate Your Greatness Once you remember who you are, honor it — loudly, proudly, and on purpose.

EP 228. From Forgiveness to Freedom — What to Do After You Let It GoYou've let it go… but now what?Here's the thing nobody tells you — forgiveness isn't the grand finale. It's not the closing credits. It's the opening scene to your next chapter. You've put down the heavy bag, but freedom? Freedom is when you stop circling the airport of your past and finally walk out into the world with your hands free and your heart light.In this episode, we're going deeper than “just let it go.” I'm showing you how to release the weight you've been carrying (because yes, forgiveness still leaves residue), create your own closure without waiting for their apology, stop reopening old wounds, and guard your peace like it's your most expensive possession — because in this season, it is.If you've ever wondered why you still feel heavy after forgiving, or how to stop slipping back into old patterns, this conversation is your game plan. By the end, you'll know exactly how to live like you've let it go, step into your Protect Your Peace Era, and choose you every single time.KEY TAKEAWAYS:Forgiveness is just the starting point for personal growth.Confidence is a decision you can embody right now.Main Character Energy is about owning your narrative.Closure is a choice you give yourself, not a gift from others.Protecting your peace is essential for lasting healing.Setting boundaries keeps your well-being intact.You are responsible for your happiness and peace.Letting go of old dreams can lead to new possibilities.Self-love is an ongoing journey, not a final destination.You are worth protecting at all costs.CHAPTERS00:00 – The Journey of Letting Go 04:34 – Finding Closure Within Yourself 08:57 – Protecting Your Healing 12:38 – Guarding Your Peace 18:39 – Embracing Your Freedom 21:39 – Empowerment Through Sharing and ConnectionTHE SELF-LOVE 2-STEP:1️⃣ Pause & BreatheStop whatever you're doing.Close your eyes.Inhale deeply through your nose for a count of 4.Hold for 4.Exhale slowly through your mouth for a count of 6.Repeat three times. This tells your nervous system: We are safe. We are here. We are not going back.2️⃣ Affirm Your Freedom Say out loud — yes, out loud: "I choose my peace over my past. I am free." Recognize: I honor my growth, and I'm not going back.Do this every time you feel yourself slipping into old patterns, and watch how your peace becomes your default, not your fight. Freedom isn't a one-time decision — it's a way of living.

We have all found ourselves there at one time or another. Life happens and makes you pause and you realize you've forgotten about you. Maybe you were so busy up in mom life you forgot to look up.
