Have you ever been in a funk and felt like nothing was going right? Sometimes all it takes is one bad day, one negative thought, or one inconvenience to make you forget who you are.

Join Angel in this episode as she chats about the importance of reminding yourself who you are and whose you are. Between work, family, responsibilities, and the expectations we put on ourselves, it's easy to lose sight of the person underneath all those hats we wear.

Angel shares practical ways to get out of a funk, silence negative self-talk, stop comparing yourself to others, make time for God and yourself, and remember that everyone's journey looks different.

So when life gets you down and you start questioning yourself, turn up your favorite playlist, have that car concert, and remind yourself who you are, and whose you are!

Have you ever watched someone plot against another person, only to have their own plans backfire?

Join Angel as she talks about what happens when we try to bring others down. She shares a personal story from her call center days that proves you never know how things will come full circle!

We’re talking about treating people with kindness, checking our hearts, and remembering that there’s a difference between wanting someone to face consequences and wishing bad things on them.

Sometimes, the very thing someone prepares for you becomes the thing that brings them down.

Sometimes your biggest life lessons come from the most unexpected places… like standing in line for a roller coaster with your son.

In this episode, Angel shares a conversation with her son that got her thinking about something much bigger than conquering a fear of roller coasters: Do I really believe in myself?

What if we actually believed in ourselves?

What would we accomplish? What dreams would we pursue? What would we stop putting off?

Last week, we talked about follow-up friends. Join Angel this week as she talks about what happens when the friendship ends.

Friendship breakups don't always get the attention they deserve. We know how to grieve romantic relationships, but when a friendship ends, people don't always understand why it hurts so much.

Angel shares her own experience of losing a longtime best friend, along with the different ways friendships can end.

If you've ever experienced a friendship breakup, or you're still carrying the hurt from one, this conversation is a reminder that your grief is valid.

Friendship deserves to be celebrated when it's thriving and acknowledged when it's gone.

What happens when you realize you might be the one keeping the friendship alive?

Join Angel in this episode, as she gets real about community, friendship, and being the follow-up friend; the one who always reaches out, makes the plans, checks the calendar, and sends the “Are we still on?” text.

After praying about her desire for genuine community, Angel began to realize that relationships should involve effort from both sides. Sometimes people really are busy, but sometimes “busy” is simply a way of saying, “This relationship isn't a priority for me.”

And that's okay.

Angel shares why she's decided to stop chasing people and started leaving the ball in their court. Not out of anger or pettiness, but because friendship shouldn't feel like a full-time job.

Is it time for you to stop chasing and start paying attention to the people who show up.

Love Your Enemies?! Yep, you heard that right.

Today Angel talks about what it looks like to love and pray for your enemies.

We're having a real conversation about what it means to love people who have hurt, betrayed, disappointed, or mistreated us.

We'll talk about:

• Why forgiveness doesn't mean removing boundaries.

• Releasing the need for an apology or closure.

• Choosing to respond like Christ even when our feelings haven't caught up.

Loving your enemy isn't about what they deserve; it's about who you choose to become because of what happened to you.

Because sometimes the person we need to forgive isn't the person who needs to change.

Sometimes… it's us who needs to let go.

We work hard, show up, stay late, and sometimes give more to our jobs than we give to ourselves. But what happens when work starts costing us our health, our peace, and valuable time with the people we love?

In this episode, Angel talks about the importance of taking your days off without feeling guilty. She shares stories about employees who gave years of loyalty to their jobs, only to discover that a company can continue without them.

This is not an excuse to avoid responsibility. It's a reminder that you are more than your job.

Your position can be filled. Your desk can have another employee sitting at it. But you cannot be replaced in the lives of the people who love you.

So, take the days. Rest when you need to. Protect your health. Spend time with your family; and remember, you don't have to work yourself into exhaustion to prove that you're hardworking.

Your job is important, but so are you.

Be honest… how many times have you picked up your phone today?

And before you say, “Not that many,” go check your screen time.; I’ll wait!

In this episode, Angel gets real about our relationship with our phones and social media—and why sometimes we just need to put the phone down and walk away.

After hearing her public speaking students talk about the effects of social media semester after semester, Angel found herself taking another social media break , and every time she does, she notices something: she actually feels better.

From checking your phone hundreds of times a day, to getting sucked into the never-ending social media rabbit hole, to scrolling when you're bored and suddenly realizing 30 minutes have disappeared… we've all been there.

Angel talks about how doom scrolling and social media can affect the way we feel, how comparison can sneak in, and why it's important to pay attention to how you feel after spending time online.

She also shares some simple things that have helped her with taking intentional breaks from social media.

Angel goes from social media fasts to pagers, staying up all night talking on the phone, and running home from school to check messages.

Because apparently, we millennials have been attached to our phones since before smartphones even existed.

Sometimes the best thing you can do for yourself is simply disconnect for a little while.
