WELCOME TO THE KINGDOM! Is something in the air this summer? I'm feeling very blue. In this episode we talk about my summertime sadness, updates on my traditional wedding planning, and finally, a finance talk!I break down my philosophy on spending and saving, how I budget and keep track of things, where my money goes, how I paid off my credit card debt, and much more!Enjoy!

WELCOME TO THE KINGDOM! Today we're making a case for getting married at 23. I'm talking about the green flags I saw in my partner and the values I prioritized when deciding to get married!Watching love island and seeing all the discourse has made me reflect on the attributes of a good partner, and the qualities you should have on your "list" outside of physical attraction. Enjoy!

WELCOME TO THE KINGDOM! What happens when the zeal and passion around being 'born again' fades, and you're faced with real life trials and tribulations? In this episode, we're talking life after my 'death to self' journey, how my faith journey has been shaped through marriage, daddy issues, family betrayal, and simply growing up. But first, we're welcoming the knicks, mia from summerhouse, and love island usa season 8. lol!Hope you enjoy :)

WELCOME TO THE KINGDOM! We're talking vaginismus baby! In this episode, Karren is joined by her new friend Kareen, to shed light on a condition they both suffer from:Vaginismus.Vaginismus is the involuntary tensing of your vaginal muscles that’s out of your control. One may experience it at the start of sex, while inserting a tampon or while getting a pelvic exam. They talk about the trials of living with vaginismus, causes, effects, pelvic floor therapy, and what vaginismus looks like in marriage. They also discuss the effects of christian purity culture and shame, and how that can bleed into the relationship young women have with their bodies.Kareen is a dreamer, maker and Believer building a life in Brooklyn with her husband. She’s a beauty marketer by day and a ceramist, aspiring jeweler and writer by night. She’s deeply curious, happiest when she’s in the middle of making something and creating space for conversations we don’t talk about enough.

WELCOME TO THE KINGDOM! Today we're talking friendships. Friendships post-grad, inter-sex, inter-faith, group dynamics, jealousy in friendships, and even how to make them in general! Buckle Up!

Welcome to The Kingdom! Shawna Agye knows all about what it takes! From 5 years in investment banking to a rockstar social media career (she got signed to @kensingtongrey in just over a year!) and many compelling partnerships, she’s not new to the grind, she’s true to it!In this episode, we get into uncertainty, risk, and what it costs to walk away from tradition — or at least, to stop letting it define you. Shawna gets honest about the discipline it takes to juggle both, and what it looks like to be a dark-skinned woman navigating spaces — finance and content creation — that weren't exactly built with her in mind.We also talk about relationships—both the one you have with yourself and with others, what you owe yourself, and why walking away from someone is sometimes the most courageous thing you can do.I hope you enjoy this one.

ever feel sooo good. like great!! amazing!! fantastic!!! only to feel completely opposite right after? or perhaps immediately do something that negates those good feelings? You might have an upper limit problem. That is, we all have a level of "good" we will allow ourselves to feel. As soon as we feel like we're hitting that self-imposed threshold, we self-sabotage in order to dial ourselves back. but why?

The moment you realize there is an eternal battle between light and darkness, you cannot afford to be a bystander anymore. By choosing the light, you have now  chosen a team - and you relinquish all ignorance. You are now an active participant in this war and it is up to you to remain in position. 2 Corinthians 10:4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.
