There was a time I waited for people to treat me right — until I realized, I set the standard.

This episode is about learning to handle yourself the way you’ve always wanted to be handled with patience, peace, and care. 🍵

Inspired by Teyana Taylor’s words, “I expect to be treated like a cup of tea,” I share what it looked like to finally slow down, start my days with intention, and live from a place of softness instead of survival.

From messy mornings and Proverbs reflections to beach prayers and quiet resets, this episode is a reminder: you’re not behind — you’re just still steeping. 🌿

Peace is beautiful but she’s not cheap. 🍃
In this episode, Sarah La’Joy opens up about what it really costs to live in peace the people, habits, and versions of yourself you have to release to step into God’s timing.

From late-night surrender on her yoga mat to quiet mornings where peace finally found her, Sarah shares how she learned to stop rushing, stop explaining, and start trusting. Because peace doesn’t come when everything calms down… it comes when you do.

If you’ve been praying for peace but feeling the weight of what it’s taking to get there, this one’s for you, baby.
You’ll leave reminded that peace isn’t passive it’s powerful. And it’s always worth the price. 🤎

You ever realize how easy it is to show up for everyone else and how hard it can be to show up for you?

In this week’s episode, I’m talking about the moment I stopped waiting for someone else to pour into me, and learned how to pour back into myself. From folding everybody’s clothes to letting the kids handle their own, from late-night dinners alone to rediscovering peace in silence this is the part of my journey where effort became sacred.

It’s not about being selfish. It’s about being intentional.

I’m learning that I don’t need a reason to make something special… I am the reason.

So tonight, we’re slowing down, filling our own cups, and remembering: she deserves effort even from me.
