In Part 2 of Anchor Before The Storm, we step into the real beginning of lasting change: recognizing the battle within.

You’ll hear Serena’s story, a fictional composite built from real patterns, showing how momentum can look like strength while pain quietly accumulates underneath. Then I share my own journey through layered loss, fractured foundations, and the internal courtroom that grief can create when guilt and regret go unspoken.

This episode sets the groundwork for The Beginning of Lasting Change workbook: why surface-level change doesn’t last, how unexamined wounds shape identity, and why real healing begins with excavation—not self-condemnation.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re “performing life” instead of living it, this episode will help you understand why and what to do in the next couple of episodes. You Don't Want To Miss This!!!

“Seize the Moments” is a rhyme-driven reminder to stop postponing life—love out loud, speak the truth, and appreciate the small sacred seconds before they become memories.

In Part 1 of The Beginning of Lasting Change, I introduce the idea of “the anchor before the storm.” Most people don’t realize what they’re anchored to until life applies pressure, loss, uncertainty, rejection, or major change. In this episode, you’ll learn how anchoring shapes your identity, your reactions, and the decisions you make under stress, and why rebuilding your life without a secure anchor leads to cosmetic change instead of structural change.

You’ll also be guided through a simple self-audit to help you identify where you’ve been drifting, what your stability is tied to, and what needs to be strengthened so your life can withstand the next season.

Next Wednesday: Part 2 of this three-part series.

"Baggage” is a raw, rhythmic spoken-word poem about the unseen weight we carry from childhood into adulthood, memories that become meanings, meanings that become beliefs, and beliefs that shape our patterns. It walks through the chain reaction that quietly builds a life: thoughts create feelings, feelings create decisions, decisions create actions, and actions create reality, for better or worse. This piece is an invitation to unpack the past without shame, challenge the stories that no longer serve you, and step back into your life as the author, not the aftermath.

“When My Eyes Close, the Universe Opens” is a meditation‑infused poetic journey written in a voice that blends wonder, spirituality, and deep inner reflection.

In this piece, we explore what happens when the world grows quiet, and the soul begins to see not with sight but with awareness. Colors bloom behind closed eyelids, the coolness of stillness brushes the skin, and the universe reveals itself in ways the physical world never could.

This poem invites you to pause, breathe, and step beyond the boundaries of time and space. It’s a reminder that the divine, the cosmic, and the infinite are not distant… they’re already within us, waiting for the moment we finally slow down and look inward.

We end with a faith-based anchor.

This spoken-word piece is a wake-up call for anyone who feels stuck, restless, or quietly unsatisfied. “What Do You Want?” challenges you to stop drifting and start deciding, because your mind is one of the most powerful “machines” you’ll ever own, and it’s working every moment of the day.

In this poem, I blend mindset, purpose, and faith to remind you that your gifts aren’t accidental, and your dream isn’t too late. Whether you want peace, progress, love, a business, a trip, or a brand-new chapter, the turning point starts with one honest question:

What do you want, and when do you want it?
