    Apr 21 2025

    Send a text to the show!

    Have you ever walked back into a familiar place and realized… you’re not the same person who once lived there? In this deeply personal episode, I’m sharing what it was like returning to Memphis after seven years to visit my father and stepmom—for the first time since my brother passed away.

    This conversation isn’t just about grief. It’s about what happens when memories, healing, and growth all show up in the same room. We’re talking about the weight of silence, the power of presence, and the raw truth that healing doesn’t mean forgetting—it means making room for both the ache and the hope.

    I’ll walk you through 3 intentional steps to help you navigate your own journey of grief and growth—ones that go beyond what you’ll find in a search bar. This episode is for anyone who’s felt stuck between mourning the past and trying to move forward.

    Sip Along with Me!
    Each episode features a different wine! This time, we’re sipping on a Barolo—a bold, structured red wine from Italy’s Piedmont region, known for its depth, complexity, and soul-stirring tannins. Like grief, it takes time to open up… but when it does, it reveals layers worth savoring.

  • Control is Exhausting. Surrender is Delicious!
    Apr 7 2025

    Send a text to the show!

    Let’s be honest—control is a full-time job with no benefits, and it’s not even hiring. So why are we still clinging so hard?

    In this episode of Spiritual Growth & Wine, we’re flipping the script on surrender. Not the passive, powerless version you might’ve been taught—but the kind that invites clarity, freedom, and real peace. The kind that tastes a little like Tokaji wine: rich, rare, and deeply satisfying when you finally let go.

    You will receive:

    • 4 practical, soul-rooted steps to help you loosen the grip


    • One of the truths about control (spoiler alert: it’s sneaky and it’s everywhere)


    • An everyday example of how surrender shifts the energy in a relationship—without anyone “losing”


    • Why surrender isn’t soft or weak—it’s sacred, intentional, and the most powerful move you can make

    Plus, I’m sharing a wine moment with Tokaji, the Hungarian beauty that knows all about the art of waiting and releasing—because even grapes have to surrender.

    And if this speaks to you? If your nervous system is raising its hand and whispering “yes, please…”—you’ll want to schedule a complimentary Love Chat with me by clicking the link below. Let’s talk about how surrender can stop being a concept and start being a practice.
