Becoming The One - With Mandy

Hello and welcome to episode number one of my new and improved podcast. This used to be called the “Fall in Love with Yourself First” podcast, but now it is called Becoming the One. I’ve been going through a profound and amazing spiritual transformation, and I wanna give all the glory to God because he is doing a mighty work inside of me and I feel like I’m truly becoming the one, preparing for a Godly marriage, one that will glorify God. This episode is an introduction on a study that I will be doing for the next 10-11 weeks on how to become an excellent wife taken directly from Proverbs 31. I truly can’t wait for this study. We will be going through two verses each week. Woo hoo!

IMO there is a way to meditate that is the most beneficial for us if we want to truly be peace filled, prosperous and victorious in life and in this podcast I dare to share it even though many people will probably want to throw tomatoes at me. So if so, I’ll just keep meditating this way and make salsa.

This is episode number two, season number two. In this episode, I break down three possible reasons as to why he might not be texting you back and what you can do in each of those scenarios so that you can lean back into your high value feminine essence, maintain your grace and strength and not chase after him.

Happy new year and welcome to the first episode of season number two. To kick off the season I wanted to share five things you simply must do to make 2024 your best year yet.

Are you feeling trapped? Are you feeling stuck? Maybe you are feeling suppressed in a job, in a relationship or by an addiction. I’ve been there and maybe you are able to break free for a few months but then you just go back again. There’s a way to become truly free and in this episode I break it down for you.

I share because it’s my desire that every human being remembers that they are a victorious free spirit.

Sometimes it can take a long ass time for the things that you want to actually come true but don’t quit and don’t give up.
