I Turned 35 and Here’s What I’m Proud Of | A Birthday Brag Session05 Mar 202600:40:14

Turning 35 made me realize something: you don’t need the traditional milestones to be proud of your life.

In this birthday episode, I’m bragging on myself — petty and popping.

If you’ve ever felt behind, in-between, or unsure if you’re doing life “right”… this one is for you.

This one is for the girl who needs to brag on herself a little more.

The thirty-something who’s tired of milestones being used as a measuring stick.

The millennial who’s learning: two things can be true… and I’m still that girl.

In this birthday episode, I’m not doing the usual deep dive. I’m doing a brag session.

In this episode, we get into:

• Why I’m proud I’m prompt (and why being late every time isn’t cute)

• Being okay in silence + not needing constant stimulation

• The freedom of not having the “traditional” milestones (house, marriage, kids) and not feeling less fulfilled

• Starting over, starting from scratch, starting in the middle of chaos… and still showing up

• My hygiene routine (yes, it’s petty… and yes, I smell good 😭)

• My relationship with God: deepened discernment + no longer trying to live without Him

• Having refined taste in people, places, and experiences

• Being a good friend: safe, nonjudgmental, and built for real conversation

• “No longer negotiating with my calling” + why hearing isn’t enough… it’s time to move

A few thoughts from my thirties…

Timestamp Breakdown

00:00 — Brag session rules + “She’s 35. She has arrived.”

02:10 — Golden birthday energy + why we’re not doing the deep reflective thing today

04:40 — Petty flex: I’m prompt, and I’m proud

07:10 — Silence, nervous systems, and not needing constant stimulation

10:30 — Not married, not a homeowner, no kids… and not feeling less than

14:10 — Starting over without reverting back to the “mundane” plan

16:30 — Petty but important: hygiene routine + “you’ll never say I was stink”

19:20 — My relationship with God + the 33-year-old resurrection year

23:40 — Community break: Our Inner Thoughts (keep the convo going)

26:10 — Taste, “outside,” and not living life in isolation

29:30 — I’m a really good friend (and what safe friendship actually looks like)

33:10 — “No longer negotiating with my calling” + James 1:22

36:10 — Face card, skills, and thanking the 2016 YouTube girlies

38:40 — Saying the quiet part out loud: loneliness + still being that girl

44:00 — The duality: low days don’t cancel your identity

47:20 — Closing: brag on yourself + peace in the process of figuring it out

Believing in Yourself Is a Full-Time Job (Here’s How to Clock Back In)12 Feb 202600:34:42

Believing in Yourself Is a Full-Time Job

If you’ve been trying to “stay positive” but doubt keeps sliding into the room this episode is for you.

This is for the girl who clocked out for a minute. The thirty-something who got tired. The millennial who needs to clock back in.

In this episode, we get into:

-Doubt creeping in and why it made me question my faith

-Why I’m rejecting the idea that doubt and faith can’t coexist

-“Detours are not delays” — and how I’m rewiring my mind around timing

-Creativity without capitalism: your art doesn’t need entrepreneurship to matter

-The “hard body” energy I may be giving off (and how it doesn’t match my real desire: love)

-Believing in love when singleness makes you comfortable (and guarded)

-The real fear underneath love: “Will it cost me myself?”

-Abundance as birthright (not burnout) + letting peace be profitable

-Believing God is easy… believing His timing is the real work

-Grieving the life you thought you’d have by now (and still trusting you’re not behind)

-“Clocking back in” as a mindset: treating belief like a daily practice, not a mood

Your Job is Making You Boring | How to have deeper conversations with anyone.30 Jan 202600:34:28

When Did We All Become So Boring?

If you can hold a convo, have a personality, and you have range… but lately every interaction feels like a bore... this episode is for you.

In this episode, we get into:

- Having a job is making us an absolute snooze fest

- How we were trained to build identity around work

- How job titles became the first identity we were ever handed

- Why we lead with work even though most of us don’t even like our jobs

- The dating angle: how men can be wrapped in work identity (and how women feed the beast too)

- A short-lived romance that proved how refreshing it is to get to know someone without work talk

- How being curious + authentic makes you more confident and more yourself

- And the fun part: my Kala-coded conversation starters resource to spice up your next interaction

Everything I’m Not Changing About Myself This Year15 Jan 202600:38:29

Everything I’m Not Changing About Myself This Year.

If you’re the kind of millennial who did everything “right” — followed the rules, hit the milestones, played the game by the book — and you’re now looking around in your 30s like… wait a minute, this was a scam?

This episode is for you.This is your permission slip to stop “fixing” yourself into someone else… and start honoring who you already are.

In this episode, we get into:

  1. Why “new year, new me” often turns into self-abandonment
  2. The difference between evolution and erasing yourself* When you need a new perspective instead of a new identity
  3. How adulthood quietly disconnects you from your core
  4. The parts of you the world keeps trying to dim (voice, creativity, depth)
  5. Why your mind and perspective are your most valuable assets
  6. Letting go of performing spirituality & honoring how you connect with God
  7. How conditioning, comparison, and conformity mute your authenticity
  8. The identity check-ins I’m using to stop slipping into sameness
  9. Why starting over isn’t always growth * How groupthink is making us boring (and why I’m choosing original thought instead)

What Compatibility Really Means in a Relationship: Dating in Your 30s09 Oct 202501:00:10

What does it really mean to be compatible with someone?

I’ve been thinking a lot about this — and honestly, I think intellectual compatibility might be my biggest struggle. Not chemistry, not vibes, not attraction… but finding someone who can actually meet me where my mind is.

In this episode, I’m talking about:

-Why being “chosen” doesn’t make you more special — God already did that

-Why I can’t date someone who isn’t spiritually grounded

-The 5 layers of compatibility (and why intellect ranks high for me)

-The Baby Mama story — and the moment I realized we weren’t equally yoked

-Why visionary women struggle to “fit” into a man’s plan

-My recent dating app voice notes (yes, you’re gonna scream 😩)


If you’ve ever felt too deep, too complex, or too much to be understood — this one’s for you.


Let’s go Beneath The Seams! 🤐

--

00:00 Coming Up — “I’ve never been asked for my hand in marriage, and I don’t wanna be a baby mama.”

02:10 Defining compatibility

09:12 Why intellectual connection matters more than just a vibe

15:40 The Baby Mama story — and the laughter that told me everything

20:02 Spiritual alignment as a non-negotiable

26:45 Lifestyle preferences: hiking vs. brunch & finding middle ground

32:04 Power couples & merging visions

38:20 Storytime: “You’ll miss your blessing” 😭

42:11 Storytime: The 1:30 AM “you up?” text (sir, please)

44:26 Listener prompt — which type of compatibility do you crave most?

Low-Maintenance Friendships Are Making Us Lonely02 Oct 202500:39:13

If you’ve ever called yourself a “low-maintenance friend” but secretly crave deeper connection… this conversation is for you.

We talk about…


-Why the “low-maintenance” trend quietly excuses neglect.

-Loneliness as an epidemic—and how we’re drifting from community.

-Medium-maintenance friendships: presence, checking in, reciprocity.

-Healthy effort vs. toxic draining (discernment matters).

-Behavior checks: stop flaking, raise emotional awareness, be curious.

-Life stages & growing apart: naming why connection feels harder now.

-Faith lens: God gave us each other—community is sacred stewardship.


Let’s go Beneath The Seams!


--

00:00 Coming Up!

00:24 Beneath The Seams manifesto (why we go below the surface)

01:40 Welcome back — what this space is & why this topic now

03:02 The trend: why “I don’t require much” is quietly isolating us

05:05 Maintenance analogies: nails, car, faith → relationships

06:42 Personal truth: feeling detached despite having “friends”

09:18 Growing apart as life changes (distance, kids, routines)

11:06 The danger of “low” settings → from monthly to yearly to… strangers

12:55 Naming what you need: depth as a love language

15:08 Loneliness online & IRL; post-pandemic isolation habits

17:10 Healthy effort vs. toxic draining (use discernment)

18:36 The medium-maintenance baseline:

20:28 Presence IRL & putting the phone down

21:44 Reciprocity confession: “Do I have friends because I maintain them?”

23:12 Follow the nudge: when someone crosses your mind, call/text

24:35 The “365-day rule”: are we still friends if we haven’t spoken in a year?

26:04 “Maturity” as a mask for neglect

27:22 Faith lens: Genesis 2:18, Proverbs 27:17, disciples lived *together*

29:05 Behavior checks: stop flaking; the cost of community is inconvenience

31:02 Emotional awareness & curiosity: be in your friends’ business (lovingly)

32:28 Personal commitment: leave the house more; invite community in

34:00 Open invite: are you isolated or thriving in friendship?

35:12 Reviews/help the show grow + share with a friend

36:05 Closing blessing — and see you next week



Resources & Scriptures Mentioned


Genesis 2:18 — “It is not good that man should be alone.”

Proverbs 27:17 — “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.”

Everything I’m Overthinking About My Creator Journey (And Why I’m Still Showing Up)19 Sep 202500:36:27

If you’ve ever started, stopped, felt sure, then doubted again… this conversation is for you.

We talk about…

  • Why your story may include an unusual testimony.
  • Start–stop seasons: and why they still count.
  • How Perfectionist kills momentum.
  • Letting life’s recurring lessons return with a new perspective
  • Vulnerability as ministry: sharing the heavy parts without self-judgment.
  • Letting your gift serve people, not your fear.
  • The fear of being misunderstood: making peace with visibility, critique, and the reality that conflict is part of the calling.

Let’s go Beneath The Seams!

--

00:00 Coming Up! — “I think God is preparing me for an unusual testimony”

01:38 Welcome back + what this space is (safe, unfiltered, inclusive)

02:32 Why I’ve been gone & why I’m choosing honesty over glossing it over

03:35 Today’s frame: everything I’m overthinking about the pod & my creative journey

04:22 Saying the same thing “again” (and giving myself permission to revisit themes)

06:02 Life is cycles: new levels, same core lessons → freeing myself from “it must be new”

07:14 Conflict talk: why “we resolved it, never speak again” doesn’t work for me

08:33 Art imitating life: taking off the producer hat → more raw, still polished

09:46 Killing momentum: the creative shame loop of “if it isn’t great, don’t post”

11:18 My minimum bar to publish: 3 simple checks to hit “upload” anyway

12:20 Vulnerability as a superpower (and why the heaviness still scares me)

13:58 Outfit moment — joggers, styled dress-as-top, sneakers, ASOS bag

14:46 Knowing yourself to be vulnerable; ministry beyond the pulpit

16:06 The “exposure” thing: playing it too safe online vs. how I am in real life

17:24 The viral video & the sneaky fear of being misunderstood

18:52 Prayer insight: “Conflict is part of the calling.” Making peace with visibility

20:31 My pre-record prayer & releasing control of how the message lands

21:28 Root-cause overthinking: why I analyze before I act (and when that helps)

22:30 Unlearning the expected success arc; “unusual testimony” over the “great lock-in”

24:18 Start–stop stories matter: success for those who struggled to stay consistent

25:42 Closing the “misunderstood” loop & choosing impact over approval

26:48 Do we ever fully “overcome” overthinking? Choosing better tools, not self-shame

28:22 Faith lens: weapons may form; faith changes how I weather them

29:20 Refusal to quit + permission to tell the truth about the challenge

30:26 Community check-in: tell me what you’re overthinking

31:02 Promise to grow in consistency

31:48 Final blessing: finding peace in the process → see you next time

Today's Look (Outfit Linked Here)

Resources & scriptures

  • 2 Corinthians 12:9 — “My grace is sufficient for you…”
  • Matthew 5:37 — integrity in your yes (mentioned thematically)


Join the conversation!

  • Tell me what you’re overthinking this week — drop it in the comments or DM.
  • If this episode gave you breath, share it with a friend who’s been stuck in start–stop.
  • If you love the pod, a quick rating/review really helps us grow.

This one is for the millennial who wants to use the rest of 2025 to grow spiritually and strategically.

In this episode, I’m talking about how I’ve been using both scripture and structure (with a little help from AI) to rebuild my faith, strengthen my routines, and reimagine what a spirit-led soft life really looks like.

-How I’m using ChatGPT to create a personalized spiritual plan

-What it means to stop overlooking the overflow in your life

-The difference between praying for a result vs. becoming the person who can steward it

-Why consistency feels boring for creatives—and how I’m fighting back with discipline and devotion

-Simple morning and evening prompts that keep my spirit aligned

-Why “God, get in my head before I do” is my favorite new prayer

Your Lack of a Social Life Is Holding You Back06 Jun 202500:43:54

This one is for the millennial who misses outside!

Social media told us to isolate, grind in silence, and only reappear when we’re fully healed. But what if hiding out is holding us back?

In this episode, I’m peeling back the layers on...

-What we lose when we stop socializing

-How community might be the key to your next creative breakthrough. spiritual awakening, and even financial glow-up.

-The glamorization of isolation and why “I like to be in the house” culture is overrated

-How socializing fuels your spiritual and creative energy (even if you're in a funk)

-Why your friends see you in ways you don’t see yourself—and how that reflection is essential

-How creativity finds you in joy, not just strategy

Welcome To Beneath The Seams!22 Feb 202400:01:47

Life can be so complex, and we spend so much time trying to figure it out, all while hiding who we truly are. Millennials are at the point in adulthood where we are starting to understand more about what life is, but still we avoid vulnerability and tough conversations.

Never going Beneath The Seams limits us from experiencing an unfiltered life filled with genuine connections. We owe it to ourselves to change that.


I'm your host Kala Riggins and I share a mixture of confessions, candid conversations, and cackles that help us go beneath the surface and feel comfortable with exposing our true selves.


This is my love letter to millennial who are just tying to figure it out. Let's go Beneath The Seams!
