Reach

What happens when you step outside the version of you that feels safe? When you stretch, not because you’re certain, but because you know you’re ready for more?


In this episode of Essays and Ese, we explore what it means to reach. To stretch past comfort. To grow beyond the familiar. To pursue purpose with intention. And to realize that your reach, whether personal, spiritual, or relational, might be impacting more lives than you know.


If you’ve been sensing the nudge to do more, become more, or give more, this one’s for you.

Unseen

There are seasons where it feels like you're doing the most, showing up, pouring out, carrying weight, and still being overlooked. No applause. No acknowledgment. Just silence.


In this episode of Essays and Ese, I sit with that feeling. The ache of being the reliable one. The one people lean on, but rarely check on. The one who gets it done, even when the group disappears.


But being unseen doesn’t mean being unknown. And it doesn’t make your light any less real.

Let this be your reminder: your effort counts. Your presence matters. Your quiet faithfulness is not wasted.

Grace 1

Hindsight

In this episode of Essays and Ese, I explore the power of hindsight—how time reshapes our understanding of past experiences and the lessons we take from them. From personal reflections to hard-learned truths, I explore what it means to look back with clarity, navigate regrets, and grow from the moments that once left us questioning. Tune in for an honest and reflective conversation on perspective, growth, and the wisdom that only hindsight can bring.

Storms 1

The songwriter said, "Storms do not alarm me; they sometime must cease!" Oh to have such great faith when weathering a storm!


Hey all. In this latest episode, I talk about storms and share my experiences of weathering them. I know that when going through a storm, it may sometimes look as though we are the only ones who have ever gone through or will ever go through a storm, but I can assure you that you are not alone. Be encouraged.


As usual, let me know what you think by dropping your comments and questions. Until next time, cheers!

Rest

Hi All. This episode is very dear to my heart because in it I'm discussing something that has become a bit of a taboo for the working class: rest. But in these past few months, a lack of rest has seen some dear people leave us too early, some of which were people very dear to me. Please listen to this episode with an open mind, and I hope that as you hear the words spoken, you give yourself the gift of rest.


Until next time 🥂

Breathe
A lot of the time, we hold our breath and forget to breathe. This episode is a reminder to do one of the most essential things for your survival. Take time to feel the air on your face, and the breeze in your hair. Take time to acknowledge what is around in preparation for what is to come.

Resilience
Guys, as we approach the half-year mark, I think it's important that we assess ourselves for one important life characteristic, because one can only get so far without learning to develop thick skin. Life will life, and it will surely throw hurdles your way, so we must evolve to a point where the hurdles no longer affect us, especially if they've crept up often enough.

Perseverance
In order to accomplish our big dreams and visions, many of us will need to be skilled in the art of perseverance. That's what I'm talking about in this episode because as the year progresses, we will find that our dreams and visions will not be actualized in one take. Many of them will take several tries. And we must master the art of not giving up.

Introspection
He who fails to plan is planning to fail - Winston Churchill. Happy New Year, guys! Thank you for coming back for another episode of Ese's rants 🤣. Anyway, in this episode, we're talking about introspection. It's something that many of us, in making our to-do list for the year, fail to include. I hope that you learn one or two things from this episode and that you drop your thoughts, questions, and comments once you're done listening. Catch you on the next episode!
