Where to Begin
I committed myself when I started this podcast. I wanted to be as honest and upfront with my listeners as I could. I am choosing to get on the mic every week and talk about what God is showing me, the wisdom I am learning. However, I wouldn’t feel comfortable doing as such without taking the time to talk about my past and what made me me. Maintaining an open dialogue with listeners about where I have been, what I have done, and what I am currently dealing with is important to me. In this age of cancel culture, the last accusation I wanted to deal with is not being transparent.
The more I spread this intention the more concerns people raised. I started to wonder if sharing my life meant that it could hurt other people, and my relationships, with shared. If there was one bad habit I was guilty of, it was oversharing.
This back and forth had me concerned about starting such a personal and open podcast. I prayed about it. The answer I got was once again to use discernment, to seek a balance between the two. People who know your heart will see the truth. The rest will follow the herd.
I wanted to make sure that a good synopsis of my story was at the forefront of this podcast. I have made a lot of mistakes. I own these mistakes, and because of that I no longer have any shame about what I have done. However, I don’t want to let several episodes go by without taking the time to share my life and what made me me. Buckle up! I got a lot to share.
