Welcome to the very first episode of My Life Is Not My Life! If you were a listener of The Crew Book Club Podcast, this episode is your personal invitation into a new chapter. One rooted in deeper surrender, obedience, and purpose.
In this episode, I open up about the pause that changed everything. What started as a break from podcasting turned into a divine reset. I share the why behind the shift, how God revealed a calling I wasn’t expecting, and what it means to lay your plans down for something greater.
We’ll talk about:
Trusting God when the plan changes
How obedience requires active surrender
Why your journey won’t look like anyone else’s, and that’s okay
This isn’t just a rebrand. It’s a realignment. A reminder that true impact starts when we stop holding the pen and let God write the story.
Because sis… this life is not our life; it’s His.

Épisode 99

Episode 99: What Are You Declaring? 🧠✨
In this episode, we’re diving into Chapter 3 of You Are the Placebo: Making Your Mind Matter by Dr. Joe Dispenza, where we explore the placebo effect in the brain. We touch on three key elements:
Conditioning
Expectation
Meaning (Our main focus)
💡 Key Points:
Are you doing things just to do them, or is there meaning behind your actions?
How is your brain processing all the data from your life experiences?
What are you declaring when you say, “I am…”?
We also reflect on the power of meaning in our lives and how it shapes our reality.
📖 Who Gon’ Check Me Boo? God Is: This week’s scripture is Acts 20:24, reminding us of the importance of finishing the race God has set for us, no matter the obstacles.
Quote of the Episode: "Most of us have been conditioned to run from the unknown, so now we have to learn to become comfortable in the void or the unknown, instead of fearing it."
✨ On our social media, we discussed the concept of Crossing The River of Change (pg. 64-65) and how transformation is often uncomfortable but essential.

Welcome to The Crew Book Club Podcast.
I was inspired to start this book club becasue I became a reader of books that inspired and motivated me. And I couldn't wait to share my ah-ha moments with my crew.
What I realized is everyone doesn't have time to read the entire book, so I read them and you get the benefit of getting the keynotes to inspire, motivate and challenge you.
And for the person who does read the entire book or listen to it on audio; you can tune in to get a different perspective on how I recieved and used the information.
Come hang with "The Crew" to get advice, ask questions, and gain knowledge while hearing about dope books.
“How will you commit to believing bigger, living bolder, and fully stepping into what God has destined you to be and do?"
Chapter 15, "Slaying Self-Doubt," emphasizes the concept of believing in God's promises. A biblical reference from Luke 1:45 is used to illustrate this point.
Chapter 16: "Let the Miracles Begin" is discussed, focusing on facing challenges and embracing personal growth. Quotes and passages from specific pages in the book are mentioned to underscore key concepts.
"What Would Crew Do?!" segment invites listeners to seek advice. A new mom seeks guidance on balancing responsibilities with her newborn and addresses the challenges of single parenthood.
The week’s challenge is embracing disruption and expressing gratitude for its impact.
A quote of the week highlights the distinction between those called and chosen, underscoring the importance of responding to one's calling.
The episode concludes by reaffirming the belief in the listeners and encouraging them to believe bigger in themselves.
Overall, the episode emphasizes the themes of faith, personal growth, and overcoming self-doubt through scriptural references, personal anecdotes, and practical advice.

I am in a dilemma. I applied for a new job out of town without my husband knowing about it. Honestly, I was not expecting to get the job. I was just filling out a bunch of applications at once and didn’t realize this one was not local or remote until in the interview they mention will I be willing to move. I said , yes because the income to change our family dynamic. Fast forward. They offered me the job, but my husband doesn’t want to move. I want to take the job and then we can visit each other until he is ready to move. Its fair to say he doesn’t want to move because he is heavily involved in his nieces and nephews lives because their father is not in their lives.
Any advice for me?

What is it you’re afraid will not work out in your favor? And what’s the truth that fear doesn’t want you to know?
Have you accepted the gifts God has put in you?
Do you even realize the Gifts that are in you?
Have you given yourself time to hear what God wants you to do?
I’ve been divorced for three years, and the dating pool is horrible. My ex-husband has been dating, but in between him dating, we tend to sleep with each other. I’ve only slept with him since we were married and divorced. I tend to justify that he is what I know and it’s easier to do it with him than someone new, but I have a hard time moving on. 1st pray for me and give me advice on what to do because I feel like I am stuck and used all at the same time.
Quote of the week:
· Pg.182 “You don’t find your calling on the sidelines. You find it once you’re in it. It’s not something to be explained…it’s something to be explored. Destiny is not an intellectual exercise. It’s experiential. God reveals your brilliance while building the bridge…not once you’ve gotten to the other side.”

- EXAMPLE- going to college for me was not my choice. It guided me to have the best experience of attending one of the Baddest in the land of HBCUs in the country, and I don’t regret it. It taught me about my history.
· SETTLING vs. MATURING PG. 105
- I met my husband in college. Model in college. I learned to be on my own. Had my first daughter. Even though I was guided that way because my mom wanted the best for me, God still used it for my good.
