Welcome to my very first podcast. Taking a leap of faith is what I did. Everyone always worries about what others think, but God tells us otherwise who we are in Him.

I am here to share all my experiences that have taken place in my life, from abuse, traumas, rejection, not being enough, depression, and relationships, and many more. But God, He has always been there when I thought I was completely alone. He has taken my hand and my journey.
