Life brings each of us through seasons we never expected. Some experiences leave us feeling as though we've come to the very brink of giving up—emotionally, spiritually, or even physically. Sadly, not everyone makes it through those moments, leaving behind only memories for those who loved them. My hope is to light up this world with a reminder for anyone who needs to hear it: no matter what you have been through or what you are facing today, as long as you have breath in your body, you are still God's love on display—revealed, exposed, manifested. There is still a purpose for your life. Through honest conversations, personal reflections, and stories of perseverance, Love Manifested exists to encourage, inspire, and empower you on your journey. Together, we'll explore the ways God's love is revealed in both the extraordinary and the everyday moments of life. Keep taking it one step at a time, one day at a time, and sometimes one minute at a time. Along the way, you'll discover the countless treasures of God's love waiting to be found. My prayer is that this platform serves as a reminder that you are not alone, your story is not over, and as long as you have breath in your body, you are still part of God's plan. Y'all ready? Let's go.
Friends, how many of us have 'em? Friends. Ones you can depend on...

Throwback to the 80's, IYKYK
True friends are hard to come by these days. More importantly, showing up consistently, and being present as that friend goes deeper than we may think. So it's good practice to ask ourselves regularly, "What type of friend am I?" And "Do my relationships support me the way I need them too?"
On this episode we are ...
The Bible tells us, "And a child shall lead them… " It also instructs us to "train a child up in the way they should go…" I remain in awe of the Word of God's faithfulness, giving us all we need to live a blessed life full of solid principles, and leading us into all truth.
I am honored to introduce my youngest guest to date, on the Love Manifested Podcast! This young lady's parents have done an amazing job of laying...
Have you ever been in a state of seeking? Not knowing exactly what it is you desire, but you feel like something is missing? Trying various external things may seem fun and satisfactory for a while but over time you still feel like you are hungry for something. This can happen even when as a child you learned the way, the truth, and the life you were supposed to follow.
In this episode, we meet the beautiful heart of a woman ...
Pain is an experience that every human will have in our life. None of us are absolved of that. Another truth is that we don't always feel like we can bear what we are going through, because we can't see any light in front of us. Not even a flicker, to bring us a little hope. BUT GOD!
Recently, I had a heartfelt conversation with a woman who has been dear to my family for many years. During our talk, she shared with me the challenge...
Welcome to season 2 friends!
On this episode we invite you to the table where two close friends that happen to be of different faiths share heart and experiences that bring them even closer together.

Looks like we made it! Behold the final episode of season 1!
Join us on this behind the scenes recap of the entire first season of The Love Manifested podcast! Ayannah and I and Haven Biscotti, her mostly lol, well behaved Cava-poo, are having a little fun as we take a loving look back at some of the best moments of the season.
By the grace of God we have delivered 32 episodes, of what we pray has landed as lov...
"Any man can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a dad."
-Anne Geddes.
Not everyone has a father to celebrate this time of year. Due to circumstances outside of their control, some people have a very deep wound as it pertains to their earthly father. Sometimes that can impact how we see God as "The Father". Making it uncomfortable to grasp or wrap our heads, let alone our hea...
“You’ll never find choice fruit hanging on a bad, unhealthy tree. And rotten fruit doesn’t hang on a good, healthy tree. Every tree will be revealed by the quality of fruit that it produces. You will never pick figs or grapes from thorn trees. People are known in this same way. Out of the virtue stored in their hearts, good and upright people will produce good fruit. Likewise, out of the evil hidden ...
What's the Tea? Chai!
What's the "T"? Transition.
On this episode I am sharing some views on transitioning from one space to another. Because I don't think we spend enough talking about the nuances of the in between. When we go from one season to the next it's never presto change-o! We actually have a waiting phase or a transitional period for everything we do. Unfortunately, if improperly stewarded, we can really mess things up du...
Our young people are some of the most powerful people on the planet. They are living in great, and equally challenging times. They are doing things like no one has ever done. Standing for what they believe in, and speaking up about what is important to their hearts.
On this episode I am in a conversation with one of those young ladies with a heart of gold. She is still very much like most of us, in the ongoing process of lear...
What’s the Tea? Jasmine Green!
What’s the “T”? M.O.T.H.E.R.
My Only True Home Eternally Responsible
On this episode I am spending a little “T” or time loving on mothers! Truth is, mothers, in all our beautiful sometimes painful seasons are just not celebrated enough in this world! So I was pressed in spirit to celebrate and honor us wit...
Very excited and pleased to announce our 25th episode! This may look like a small victory to you but its huge to me and the team!
Walking in obedience to answer a call from the Spirit can be very daunting but always produces fruit. As I reflect with gratitude, may I also encourage you to get started on whatever it is that you feel the Spirit is leading you to do! Even if your first steps are done with a little bit of ...
WOW... wow... W.O.W.
Wiser Older Woman! We celebrate you and honor the life you have lived!
On this episode we are shaking things up a bit! I am welcoming another beautiful W.O.W. to the table. She is bringing years of experience, laced with a life-long dedication to the God who has sustained, comforted, & held her in her darkest of days. From being forced into foster care by family in her adolescence, to the laugh she yields t...
Surrounding yourself with people that are on a different level of intelligence, or have more experience than you can provide for a beautiful exchange of life moments. Having access to those people in your life will always challenge you to grow exponentially. It really doesn’t matter what their vocation is, you can glean so much from spending time with them and it always leaves you better.
On this episode I welc...
If we were to map out every stage of pain of devastation from impact, through process, towards healing, taking into account all set backs, relapses and counter productive moves, it just might exhaust us beyond the will to actually try in real time. Think about any time you have had to journey forward in this process that we never get to choose. We don’t get to choose when we begin and we most definitely don&rsqu...
Where are my babies of the family at? Where are my babies of the family with at least 8 years between you and the next sibling at? Present!
There most definitely is a difference in how we get treated, labeled, and loved as the youngest in the family. Some of it can be good, some albeit unintentionally, can really hurt deeply. I know what some of you are thinking. That the baby of the family, whom is often labeled "spoiled"so how c...
There are unforeseen events in life that require us to grow up faster than our number of years in age. They can also be so devastating causing us to feel angry with God. Having so many unanswered questions, can really change how we relate and show up for ourselves in the days to come.
With God and the people he surrounds us with we can overcome just about anything.
On this episode you will meet a young woman who h...
