In this special birthday episode, I share powerful testimonies of how God has protected my daughter again and again—from a warning dream about her choking, to the night she aspirated and He woke me up just in time, to the moment she was electrocuted after putting metal in a socket.

I also talk about the importance of teaching our children how to stay safe, make wise choices, and know who they can trust in different situations.

Stay after the outro for a sweet clip of her singing—my little reminder of God’s faithfulness.

In this follow-up episode, I open up about losing an amazing friend and the financial hardships that once left me feeling broken and uncertain. But through reflection, I’ve come to see how even what felt like loss or failure was actually part of God’s refining process. Sometimes, our “mistakes” aren’t mistakes at all—they’re blessings in disguise, shaping us into who we’re meant to become. Join me as I share how I found peace in what once brought me pain, and how surrendering to God’s plan revealed purpose in places I never expected.

In this special update, I share how God closed one chapter so I could finally step into the calling He placed on my life. Losing my job wasn’t a setback — it was freedom. From prayer to praise, from fear to faith, this episode is a reminder that when we trust God’s plan, even endings become new beginnings. Join me as I step out — and thank God all the way.

In this episode of Cries of Redemption, I open up about the battle between faith and fear—how even after experiencing God’s deliverance, it’s easy to let fear creep back in. I share how the Lord reminded me that my strength and security don’t come from the world, but from Him alone. For some things, he's the only one you can turn to.

I talk about the fear I once carried for my daughter’s safety, and how God revealed that He—not the wicked—has the final word. For anyone who’s felt set free only to fall back into fear, this episode is a reminder: deliverance is not a one-time event. The same God who freed you before can do it again.

In this episode of Cries of Redemption, I open up about the weight of everyday struggles—frustration, anxiety, depression, and the emptiness that can creep in when we can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel. While reflecting on my own challenges, I also pause to acknowledge the greater suffering happening across the world, reminding myself—and you—that gratitude can shift our perspective.

Through it all, the message remains clear: don’t give up. No matter how heavy your walk feels, God promises renewal for those who wait on Him.

In this episode, Kit opens up about the story behind her new name and the healing she has found through creativity. She shares her journey from a difficult childhood—growing up with an over-religious aunt and facing the painful legacy of her grandfather’s actions—to finding her voice and her strength. Together, we explore how sexual abuse can span across generations, hidden behind silence and family secrets. We talk about the fear of feeling powerless when abusers hold control over entire families—and the courage it takes to begin breaking that cycle. This conversation is one of honesty, resilience, and the hope that can be found even in the midst of brokenness.

✨This episode is brought to you by Kit Alvarado, an artist and massage therapist dedicated to healing through creativity, compassion, and care.

You can explore Kit’s artwork on Instagram at @revive_artistrystudio. Kit also hosts art classes and camps in the Goldsboro area, with original pieces available at the Arts Council of Wayne County’s Art Market and on display in their gallery. Keep an eye out on social media, too—Kit often pops up at local vendor events, sharing art that reflects endurance, love, and healing.

Beyond the canvas, Kit offers massage therapy at Embody Wellness and Massage inside Twin Rivers IV, 207 East Walnut Street, Goldsboro, NC. Kit’s approach is very person-focused, taking great care to ensure each client feels safe and comfortable.

In this special episode, I take a step back from my usual deep dives into raw truths and invite you to see another side of me—beyond the strong survivor. With my husband on the mic in a playful, light-hearted interview, you'll hear laughter, honesty, and the moments in between. It’s a softer, more personal glimpse into my life, where love and resilience meet.
