Happy New Year, everyone! As the first episode of the year, it seems that the Holy Spirit decided to put its foot on my neck. This seems to be the year of not simply waiting on God to move, but partnering with Him in full surrender. I talk about the wake-up call and the two sermons that caused me to ask myself if I want true, authentic healing this year.
We're talking about not circling the same mountains over and over and stepping out of familiar prisons into the doorway of freedom. Join me on my soapbox as I dive deep into this topic and figure out what this means for me and maybe even for you.

We’re catching up, y’all! I just got back from my dream vacay in Hawaii (still mentally on the beach, not gonna lie), spent Thanksgiving with my bestie and the adorable fam, which gave me major baby fever… but let’s be real, I need husband fever first 😅. Now I’m back in colder weather, and seasonal depression pulled up quicker than expected. Let’s talk joy, jet lag, and the emotional whiplash of the holiday season. It’s giving sun, stuffing, and SAD.

This birthday bonus episode is a heart check and a celebration. Last year, I was in a very different headspace; disappointed, unsure, and questioning so much about my life. But this year?

Oh—and I'm finally introducing something new to my listeners 👀💬 Tune in for life updates, honesty, and a bold step forward.

This week’s episode is a little different.

I don’t have all the words yet, but I wanted to be honest with where I’m at. Thanks for listening, even when it’s not polished.

A Little Bit of This, A Little Bit of That
Saturday Sep 06, 2025
Saturday Sep 06, 2025
This episode, I wanted to keep things chill. After the emotional weight of When Good Girls Grieve, I needed a softer landing, so we're talking about everything from the highs of anticipating what September holds to my ongoing frustration with dating reality shows and how they treat Black women. I'm also sharing some gems from a recent convo with my sexologist mentor, reflecting on the threads of Genesis 3 we still see today, and unpacking my skepticism around Tyler Perry’s upcoming Ruth and Boaz film. Let’s talk representation, misused biblical “love stories,” and what it means to just be in the moment.

When Good Girls Grieve

Saturday Aug 23, 2025
This week on Sorin’s Soapbox, we’re getting vulnerable about what happens when the “good girls” feel like God forgot them. You followed the rules. You waited. You prayed. But the husband, the career, the happily ever after? Still MIA. We’re diving into the grief behind doing everything “right,” why obedience isn’t a transaction, and how our heart posture, not our performance, aligns us with God’s will. Plus, what this all means through the lens of my journey as a Christian intimacy advocate and sexologist.
