We talk about red flags all the time… but what about the green ones?

In this episode, Vykky shifts the focus to the green flags she’s no longer ignoring - in friendships, the workplace, romantic relationships, and most importantly, within herself.

From friends who celebrate you out loud and leaders who explain the “why,” to emotional security in marriage and learning to celebrate progress over perfection, this conversation is a reminder that healthy dynamics aren’t boring… they’re intentional.

If you’ve been spotting red flags lately, this episode will help you recognize, appreciate, and cultivate the green ones.

After the Shift, part 2, following When the Ground Starts to Shift, continues the conversation on navigating layoffs, uncertainty, and unexpected transitions with honesty, faith, and wisdom.

In this episode, Vykky shares her personal layoff story unfolding in the middle of physical injury, and walks through what it looks like to stay prepared, proactive, and spiritually grounded when things fall apart all at once. From battling imposter syndrome to navigating the emotional weight of leadership, survivor’s guilt, and unanswered questions, this episode offers both practical guidance and deep encouragement.

You’ll hear why preparation isn’t pessimism, how to hold your work with open hands, and how God’s faithfulness often becomes clearest in hindsight. If you’re facing job uncertainty, recovering from loss, or trying to discern what’s next, this episode is a reminder that being ready creates space for peace, even before the breakthrough arrives.

In this episode of In the Middle, we’re talking about setting boundaries — especially if you’re a recovering people pleaser.

Vykky shares how reaching a breaking point of feeling misunderstood and quietly disappointed led her to realize that boundaries weren’t something she could keep avoiding.

Through personal stories and practical examples, Vykky explores how resentment is often a delayed response to a boundary we never set, and how honoring your limits doesn’t change who you are, it changes who has access to you.
