You’re Not Losing Your Faith, You’re Burnt Out
Have you ever reached a point where you still love God, but suddenly you don’t feel like praying? You don’t want to open your Bible. Little things are irritating you, fear feels louder than usual, you’re questioning things you normally feel secure about, and spiritually, emotionally, mentally and physically… you’re just TIRED. Baby, you might be burnt out. In this episode of Salt N’ Seasons, we’re having a real conversation about burnout and what happens when we continue pouring, serving, working, parenting, ministering and showing up for everybody else while running on empty ourselves. I’m sharing some of the signs I’ve learned to recognize in my own life, including irritability, fear, spiritual dryness and the way exhaustion can completely change how we perceive what’s happening around us. We’re also talking about why burnout can leave us vulnerable spiritually and why taking care of ourselves is not selfish or separate from our walk with God. And most importantly, what do we actually DO when we realize we’re burnt out? Sometimes getting back into the presence of God doesn’t look like an hour-long prayer session. Sometimes it’s five minutes. Sometimes it’s worship. Sometimes it’s sitting before God with absolutely nothing to say and crying. Sometimes rest looks like booking the retreat, and sometimes it looks like going to the library, taking a walk, putting your phone away, or creating small rhythms that intentionally pour back into you. You do not have to wait until your tank is completely empty before you give yourself permission to refill it. Taking care of yourself mentally, spiritually, emotionally and physically matters. You are God’s workmanship, His temple and His ambassador. Loving and caring for the person He created is part of stewarding what He has entrusted to you. So Salt Shaker, if you’ve been wondering why you don’t quite feel like yourself lately, this conversation may be exactly what you need. 🤎 Grab your Bible, get comfortable and let’s talk.

Baby, Deal With It! | Let It End With You
God has been DEALING with me, y’all. 😭 And lately, He’s been showing me that some things I thought I had moved past still needed to be dealt with. Rejection. Old wounds. Generational patterns. And I’ve had to ask myself: am I actually dealing with these things, or am I just getting better at explaining why they’re there? Because what you refuse to deal with, you give permission to pass on! In this episode, we’re getting real about breaking generational cycles, healing with God, following the leading of the Holy Spirit, and doing the uncomfortable work so that what was handed to us doesn’t have to become someone else’s inheritance. Your story can explain you without defining you. Some things simply need to end with us. Baby, deal with it. 🤎 • Never miss an episode!

But Who Are You Really? | Your Identity Isn't What You Do, It's Who God Says You Are
What happens when the things you’ve used to define yourself begin to change? In this episode we’re talking about identity and the importance of building our understanding of who we are on the one foundation that cannot be shaken: who God says we are. I share my own journey of realizing how much of my identity had become attached to the roles I held, the things I accomplished, and the ways I believed I was adding value. When those things shifted, I struggled to recognize who I was outside of them. Over time, God taught me that the things I do may be part of my life, but they were never meant to become the foundation of my identity. This conversation is about learning to root our identity in Christ, believe what God has already spoken concerning us, and recognize His intentionality throughout every season of our lives. Because seasons change, titles change, relationships change, and the things entrusted to our hands can change, but the Word of God remains. When we truly know who God says we are, we can navigate changing seasons without allowing them to change what we believe about ourselves. Your identity isn’t what you do. It’s who God says you are. I pray this episode encourages you to go back to what God has spoken, remember what He has already brought you through, and become firmly rooted in the truth of who He created and called you to be. 🤎 • Never miss an episode!

You'll Never Outgrow Needing Your Father | Revelation, Correction, and Holding Your Peace
I sat down to record this episode with no notes, just an instruction from God to talk about where I am right now in my walk with Him. In this season, God has been teaching me how to seek revelation when I lack peace, ask Him questions when I need clarity, and remain childlike when I make mistakes. I’m sharing what it means to “hold your peace,” how to hear God in uncertain seasons, and why His correction should bring us back into alignment rather than push us into guilt and condemnation. I also open up about one very humbling mistake and what it taught me about repentance, grace, and spiritual growth. No matter how long you’ve walked with God, you will never become too spiritually mature to need His guidance, correction, or grace. You are still His child—and you’ll never outgrow needing your Father. In this episode: ✨ How to ask God for revelation, clarity, and understanding ✨ What it means to “hold your peace” ✨ How to hear God during uncertain seasons ✨ The difference between correction and condemnation ✨ How to remain childlike in your relationship with God ✨ Finding grace and getting back up after making a mistake • Never miss an episode!

Clock In with the Spirit | Identity, Imposter Syndrome & Walking with God
Imagine telling a child, “One day you’re going to be an adult.” Now imagine that child stressing over every mistake because they haven’t “arrived” yet. Sounds silly, right? That’s exactly how God spoke to me this year. After months away, I’m back with Clock In With the Spirit. In this raw and honest episode, we’re talking about what it really looks like to rebuild your walk with God from the ground up. From identity and imposter syndrome to feeding your spirit instead of your emotions, I’m sharing the simple daily rhythm that’s helped me stay consistent with God, even in the middle of motherhood and life’s responsibilities. If you’ve been feeling spiritually dry, stuck, or like you’re falling behind, I pray this conversation reminds you that God isn’t asking you to have it all figured out. He’s simply inviting you to keep showing up. HOT - Humble. Open. Transparent. Just how we like it. 🙌🏾🧂✨ • Never miss an episode!

Conviction vs Condemnation
You ever feel like you keep messing up, repenting, and trying again—but somehow still feel far from God? We’ve all been there. In this episode we’re talking about the truth behind conviction and condemnation—and how to tell the difference. Because here’s the thing: God’s correction will never make you want to hide. It’s His love that pulls us closer. Condemnation is what tells you to run, but conviction is what reminds you that you’re still His. • Never miss an episode!

Discouragement, You Can't Stay!
I stopped recording for 3 months—and here’s why. Discouragement hit me harder than I realized. I felt silenced, overlooked, and convinced that my voice didn’t matter. But God reminded me that discouragement is a lie from the enemy, not a lesson from Him. In this episode, I’m sharing how I found my way out of disappointment and back into the truth of my identity. If you’ve ever felt like giving up, questioning your purpose, or wondering if what you’re doing even matters, this one’s for you. It’s time to tell discouragement, you can’t stay. Your voice has value. Your life has purpose. And your identity in Christ is unshakable. 🧂✨ • Never miss an episode!

Owning Your Story: Beauty For Ashes
Every part of your story matters. The good, the messy, the parts you wish you could erase - God sees it all, and He still calls you His own. In this episode, we’re getting real about what it means to own your story - not just the highlight reel, but the full journey. Because the same God who allowed you to walk through it, is the same God who will use it for His glory. He’s a God of restoration. Of redemption. Of beauty for ashes. And He wastes nothing. If you’ve been carrying shame, regret, or feeling like your past disqualifies you - this conversation is for you. You are not too far gone. God can still move in ways you can’t even imagine • Never miss an episode! Subscribe to Salt n’ Seasons for fresh content every other Wednesday! • Let’s connect!

God Said It, Now What? | When the Promise Feels Delayed
We love to say, “What God has for me is for me,” but the truth is—there’s a war for the promise. Just because God gave the word doesn’t mean it won’t come with resistance, pruning, and process. Sometimes, the very reason you feel stuck or frustrated isn’t because the vision changed—but because you stopped pursuing the God who gave it. In this episode, we’re diving deep into the tension of waiting: how to stay spiritually aligned while you wait for fulfillment, how to seek clear instruction, and why knowing yourself is just as important as knowing your calling. You can’t walk in purpose disconnected from the Source. If you’ve been living in the gap between “God said it” and “I haven’t seen it yet,” this conversation will reignite your hunger, shift your focus, and call you back to intentional intimacy with the One who holds the blueprint. • Never miss an episode!

The Journey of Becoming: Purpose, Identity & Process | Dr. Apostle Emmanuel Adewusi
I sat down with my spiritual father, Apostle Dr. Emmanuel Adewusi, for a powerful, honest, and eye-opening conversation about becoming. We talked about identity, calling, spiritual authority, and what it really means to say “yes” to God - especially when it doesn’t make sense. Apostle Dr. Adewusi shares his own journey how he laid down worldly ambition, surrendered his plans, and stepped fully into God’s call on his life. It wasn’t easy. It didn’t happen overnight. But it was worth it. There’s something about hearing the raw, behind-the-scenes process of someone you admire and realizing you’re not as alone as you think. Whether you’re just starting out, wrestling with your next step, or feeling stuck in the “in-between,” this episode is for you. You’ll hear about: How spiritual covering changes everything Why knowing your identity matters more than just knowing your assignment What to do when discouragement and disappointment creep in How to stay faithful when nothing around you is moving And why it’s never too late and you’re never too far gone to start becoming I’ve learned so much from this great man of God, and I’m so excited for you to hear his wisdom and learn from the one God has used to raise me in my own journey.

Let Them Reject You, Just Don’t Reject Yourself!
Rejection? Yeah, I know it well. From family to friendships to opportunities, I’ve faced it in every season of life. And if you have too, let’s be real… it hurts. But here’s what I’ve learned: rejection only has power over you if you let it. In this episode, we’re getting all the way into it, how rejection tries to shape your identity, make you doubt your worth, and even make you question God’s love. But I need you to hear this: their rejection does not define you. God already stamped you with purpose before they ever had an opinion. So let them reject you. Let them misunderstand you. Let them walk away. Just don’t you dare reject yourself in the process. We’re unpacking it all: how to break free from people’s opinions, stop second-guessing yourself, and stand firm in who GOD says you are. Because at the end of the day, the only voice that truly matters is His. Press play, and let’s get into it. 🧂+✨ • Never miss an episode!

Obedience Feels Hard, Disobedience Costs More
Let’s be real—trusting God’s instructions isn’t always easy. But NOT trusting Him? That’s where the real problems start. Disobedience will cost you way more than obedience ever will. God’s instructions aren’t meant to restrict you—they’re meant to position you for what’s next. And when we ignore Him, we don’t just delay blessings… we invite unnecessary struggles. In this episode, we’re breaking down why obedience is better than sacrifice (1 Samuel 15:22) and how disobedience only brings delays, detours, and hard lessons you didn’t have to learn. Don’t play yourself—tap in. It’s time to trust God, let go of fear, and step boldly into obedience. No more second-guessing—it’s time to move! 🧂+✨ • Never miss an episode!
