Starting Over?

“Starting over?” That’s what someone asked me, assuming a new baby or another job meant I was back at square one. But let’s be real. I’ve already retired. I’ve built businesses. I’ve raised a family. I’m not starting over. I’m elevating. In this episode, we unpack the misconceptions about career shifts, motherhood, and what it really means to evolve on your own terms. Spoiler alert: I’m not starting over. I’m just getting better.

Shame? Nope, not me ...

I’m 45, and no, I’m not ashamed of my age. I actually tell people I’m five years older, just for fun. But here’s the truth I’ve been avoiding. I’m in pain. My body doesn’t move like it did at 20, and I’ve been pretending everything’s fine. In this episode, I finally say it out loud. My body is calling for a change, and I’m listening. This isn’t about shame. It’s about acceptance, self-awareness, and deciding to show up for myself in a new way.

Warning Signs
In this powerful and deeply personal episode, Fanny explores the moments in life when God, the universe, or our inner wisdom sends us clear signs — and we either listen or we learn the hard way. Without naming names or places, she reflects on the emotional and spiritual toll of ignoring red flags in work, relationships, and routines. Through heartfelt storytelling and grounded faith, Fanny shares what it means to recognize when it’s time to walk away, stand up, or surrender — and how we often miss our own rescue boat while waiting for a miracle in another form. This is not just about warning signs — it’s about learning to trust them and choosing peace before the flood rises. 🔔 Tune in if you're navigating uncertainty, feeling stuck, or asking, "God, what do I do now?" This episode will remind you that the signs are always there — and you are never alone. 🕊️ The Biblical Message It Reflects While not directly from Scripture, this story beautifully echoes several Biblical principles: 💬 James 2:17 (NIV) "Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead." This reminds us that faith requires movement — and sometimes taking the boat is trusting God. 💬 Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." We’re not always meant to understand the “how” — just recognize when God has cleared the path. 💬 Isaiah 30:21 "Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, 'This is the way; walk in it.'" The signs are there — and they often speak through real people, real moments, and real decisions.

Memorial day, more than just another BBQ.
In this heartfelt Memorial Day episode, I reflect on the true meaning of the holiday—not just as a day off or the start of summer, but as a solemn time to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms. I also share a personal story about my grandfather, a proud veteran who, though still with us, taught me the importance of service, resilience, and remembering those who came before us. Join me as we explore how to honor our heroes—past and present—and why this day carries such deep emotional weight.

A Gift from the Past: A Moment of Healing
For 25 years, I carried a quiet sorrow, a lingering grief, and a deep regret. When I became homeless, so much was lost—among those things was a VHS tape we recorded in February 1999 for my grandparents’ 50th anniversary. That tape held something priceless: my mother, alive, speaking, moving. The last living memory of her. Back then, we didn’t have cell phones to capture every moment, but we had that video—a moment frozen in time. And then, it was gone. Along with so many of my mother’s valuables, that tape disappeared, and with it, the last piece of her that I could see and hear. For years, I carried the weight of that loss, not just mourning her absence but feeling anger—at the world, at circumstances, at myself. I held onto that pain, believing that moment was lost forever. And then, something incredible happened. A family member was cleaning out storage and found a VHS tape. They gave it to my sister, Willamina, who did everything she could to watch it but had no VCR. By some miracle, another family member had one. They played the tape, and my niece recorded it on her phone. Last night, after 25 years, I saw my mother again. I saw her smile. I heard her voice. I watched her laugh. And for the first time, my children saw their grandmother—not just in stories but in motion, alive and full of love. I saw my father, young and strong, before time and illness took their toll. And then I realized—my mother was 45 years old in that video. This year, I turn 45. I cried harder than I have in years, not from sadness, but from overwhelming joy. A piece of my heart that had been missing was suddenly found. And with it, I felt a burden lift—a release of pain I had carried for so long. I am grateful beyond words, and I want to thank my sister Willamina for making this moment possible. Without her determination and love, I wouldn’t have had this gift—this miracle. I feel renewed. I feel at peace. And for the first time in a long time, I feel whole. Mom, Dad—you are still here. And I will carry this moment with me forever. My was 45 in February 1999 and passed away at 46 on April 27, 2000.
