Sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do… is let go and be still.In this episode of Daring Discussions, I’m talking with Yvette Henry, author and co host of ‪@HowMarriedAreYouPodcast‬ about her upcoming 30-day devotional Release, Rest, Remain, and baby… this discussion and this book felt like a deep breath I didn’t know I needed.We talk about being tired but still pushing, doing “all the right things” while feeling worn out inside, and how easy it is to confuse being busy for being faithful. Yvette shares what it really means to let go of control, how to actually rest without guilt, and what it looks like to stay close to God when life feels heavy.If you’ve been:• overwhelmed but still showing up• praying but still anxious• serving but secretly exhaustedThis one is for you.God never asked you to run yourself into the ground trying to prove you trust Him. He invites you to release, rest, and remain.Yvette penned a beautiful book divided into three parts, each with ten reflections, this 30-day devotional invites you to discover the rhythm your soul’s been missing.RELEASE: Let go of control, fear, and expectations to embrace the true Vine.REST: Trust that what you've released is held by Someone far more capable.REMAIN: Stay rooted in the One who invites you to lay down your burdens.Pre Order your Copy Today! - Release date 2/10/26

Is Pain Normal, or Are You Just Used to It? with Dr. Courtney Miller, Licensed Clinical PsychologistWhat if the pain you’ve learned to live with isn’t actually normal… it’s just familiar?In this episode of Daring Discussions, I’m joined by Dr. Courtney Miller, a licensed clinical psychologist, for an honest, eye-opening conversation about pain, trauma, and the quiet ways we normalize suffering just to survive.We talk about how emotional pain gets mislabeled as strength, why so many of us stay in patterns that hurt us, and how coping mechanisms can slowly turn into cages. We also unpack what healing really means for Black Christian Women.If you’ve ever said, “This is just how life is,”If you’ve learned how to function through pain instead of heal from it,If you’re wondering whether relief is even possible for you…This episode is an invitation to pause and ask a better question.Because just because you’ve survived it… doesn’t mean you were meant to carry it forever.Press play.
