What if the season you're struggling to get through is actually the one God is using to transform you?

In this episode of Let It B, I sit down with nonprofit founder LaShonda J., founder of The Royal Butterfly, for a powerful conversation about healing, transformation, and trusting God through life's most difficult seasons.

Together, we explore the beautiful parallel between the life cycle of a butterfly and our own faith journey. Just as a butterfly must go through the hidden, uncomfortable process of the cocoon before it can fly, God often does His greatest work in the quiet seasons of our lives when we can't yet see what He's preparing us for.

LaShonda shares her story of losing both of her parents at a young age, walking through grief, battling feelings of not belonging, and navigating seasons of deep pain. Through it all, we see how God faithfully redeemed her story and used what once hurt her to become a source of hope for others.

We also discuss how Romans 8:28 comes to life in real time that God truly works all things together for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose. What once felt like brokenness has now become the foundation for a ministry that serves children and families experiencing hardship.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Healing from childhood wounds
• Trusting God during seasons of transition
• The beauty of the "cocoon" season
• Finding purpose in your pain
• Overcoming feelings of rejection and not belonging
• God's faithfulness through grief and loss
• The mission behind The Royal Butterfly and how it's bringing hope to children and families

Whether you're walking through a difficult season, waiting on God, or wondering if your story still has purpose, this conversation is a reminder that God never wastes our pain. Your current season may not be the end of your story it may be the very place where God is preparing you for what's next.

In this episode of Let It B The Podcast, we're talking about the power of one degree.

Life rarely changes because of one major decision. More often, it's the small choices, daily habits, and relationships that slowly shape the direction of our lives.

One conversation, one compromise, one unhealthy influence, or one act of obedience may seem insignificant in the moment, but over time, they can completely change your destination.

Drawing from 1 Corinthians 15:33, Daniel 1, and other key Scriptures, we explore what it means to guard your heart, protect your identity, and remain faithful to the assignment God has given you. Daniel's story reminds us that being set apart isn't about following rules—it's about knowing who you are in God and having the conviction to stand firm when culture invites you to compromise.

If you've ever felt the pressure to fit in, questioned your identity, or found yourself slowly drifting from the person God is calling you to be, this conversation is for you. Remember: you don't drift into purpose—you choose it, one faithful decision at a time.

Welcome back to Season 6 of Let It B the Podcast!

In this vulnerable episode, Bre opens up about the last eight months why she stepped away from the podcast, what God has been doing during her season of sabbatical, and how she has been navigating an identity crisis.

What do you do when God answers the very prayers you've been praying, but you don't feel equipped to walk through the doors He's opened? How do you overcome imposter syndrome, the fear of being perceived, and the pressure to prove yourself? And how do you embrace the person God is calling you to become without allowing your past to define you?

In this episode, Bre shares her personal testimony of wrestling with identity, learning to show up boldly in a new season, and discovering that your confidence isn't found in your qualifications—it's found in Christ. She also opens up about the weight of always being "the strong friend," why she took a break from ministry, and how close she came to walking away from the podcast altogether.

If you're in a season of transition, feeling uncertain about your next step, or struggling to embrace the answered prayers God has placed before you, this conversation is for you. Be reminded that you are not disqualified because of your past, you don't have to seek validation from the world, and you don't have to compare your journey to anyone else's. God is the One who qualifies you, and your assignment is too important to lose sight of by focusing on someone else's.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Navigating an identity crisis
• Walking confidently in your God-given identity
• Overcoming imposter syndrome and the fear of being perceived
• Showing up in seasons of answered prayer
• Why your past doesn't disqualify you
• The danger of comparison and seeking validation
• Trusting God when you feel unqualified
• Keeping your eyes on your God-given assignment

Scripture References:

• Ezekiel 28:13-17
• James 3:1-18
• Matthew 28:19-20
• John 10:10
• Zechariah 4:6
• John 15:1-17
• Matthew 25:14-30
• Ecclesiastes 11:4-6
• Ephesians 2:8-10

What if the detours in your life weren't delays but divine direction?

In this season finale episode of Let It B, I reflect on how Romans 8:28 has been the foundation and recurring theme of my life. What once felt like setbacks, interruptions, and unanswered prayers were actually the very things God was using to strengthen my faith, refine my character, and realign my trust in Him.

In this vulnerable conversation, I open up about the many detours I've traveled, the moments where I almost didn't make it through the season, times I felt abandoned by people I thought would walk with me, and seasons where I came close to giving up altogether.

I share how I had to move out of my own place, return to living with family, and wrestle with disappointment, uncertainty, and doubt. Yet through it all, God remained faithful.

This episode explores why God allows detours, the value of staying present in the season you're in, and how learning to appreciate where you are often unlocks what's next. Drawing from the story of Joseph, I reflect on how every detour prepared him for the promise and how God is often equipping us for something we cannot yet see.

You'll be reminded that God cares more about the posture of your heart than what you produce, that His promises will always come to pass, and that whether we get to participate in them often depends on our obedience and willingness to trust Him.

The narrow gate isn't easy but it leads to life. This reflective episode is for anyone who can't yet see how everything will work together for good. It's an invitation to look back, recognize where God has been, steward the season you're in well, and keep pursuing Him with faith.

God is a way maker, a promise keeper, and proof that nothing absolutely nothing was wasted.

In this episode, I am sitting down with my friend and former life group leader, Rebecca, for an open conversation about what it truly means to be a vessel for the Kingdom of God.

Together, we unpack how our gifts and talents are meant to serve God both inside and outside of the church, and how discovering our calling often begins with simple obedience. We talk about identifying our gifts, stewarding them well, and learning to trust God with the process of purpose.

Rebecca shares her experience growing up in church, navigating church hurt, and finding her flow again as God continues to use her in ministry and in everyday life. We also explore the parable of the talents, the power of community, and how genuine relationships can challenge us to grow and mature in our faith.

If you've ever wondered how your gifts connect to God's purpose for your life, this conversation will encourage you to lean in, listen, and allow God to lead. If this episode speaks to you, don't forget to like, share, and subscribe for more conversations that inspire faith, hope, and healing.

In this episode, I'm opening up about what it really means to be the hands and feet of Jesus to serve others with a genuine heart, but also to allow others to serve you.

For a long time, I thought serving meant always being the strong one, the helper, the giver. But God has been teaching me that it's okay to be on the receiving end too.

Sometimes letting others show up for you is part of how He reminds you that you're seen, loved, and cared for.

In today's world, so many of us are trying to hold it all together, and truthfully, we all need a little help sometimes.

I want to talk about the beauty of both sides what it looks like to give selflessly and what it means to receive without shame.

In this episode, I'll share:

• How we can show up for others in simple, intentional ways
• Why serving doesn't always look "big" sometimes it's just being present
• How to let others help you without guilt or pride
• What it means to reflect the love of Jesus in everyday life

This is a vulnerable conversation, but it's one I believe so many of us need right now. Because being the hands and feet of Jesus isn't just about doing it's about becoming.

In this episode, we're diving deep into what it truly means to have intimacy with God. I open up about a recent revelation that exposed why I was feeling distant from Him and how God invited me back into deeper connection.

I'll walk you through practical steps that helped me rebuild closeness with God from prayer, worship, and quiet time, to fasting, reading Scripture, and surrounding yourself with community. I also share personal tools and resources like books, Bible verses, and worship music that helped me get realigned spiritually and emotionally.

If you've been struggling to hear God's voice or wondering how to experience His presence again, this episode offers a fresh perspective and encouragement for your journey.

Even if you're just starting to explore faith or don't have a personal relationship with God yet this conversation is for you too.

My prayer is that this episode helps you not only learn about God, but truly experience Him for yourself.
