I sat down with Aashyrah and Bree to talk about everything we wish we knew growing up—girlhood, confidence, friendships, heartbreak, and just becoming that girl in our own way. If I could write a letter to my younger self or speak to every little sis out there trying to figure it all out… this would be it. We laughed, got vulnerable, and kept it all the way real. I hope you feel seen and heard after listening. You’re never alone in this.

So many of us struggle with surrendering our lives completely to God—myself included. In this episode, I open up about my journey with control, trust issues, and the fear of feeling powerless. I’ve battled mental health struggles and addiction, but I’m learning that the key to true healing isn’t holding on tighter—it’s letting go and giving it all to God.

We’ll talk about why surrendering feels so hard, how to release the guilt and shame that keep us stuck, and what happens when we finally leave our problems at the foot of the cross. I’ll also answer Ask Alex questions from you all and end with an inspiring message about Abraham’s unshakable faith—because if he could trust God with his greatest blessing, why can’t we?

It’s time to stop fighting battles that were never ours to begin with. God’s plan is always greater than ours—so why are we still holding on?
