Life Is Better With Friends

This week's episode is an honest, transparent venting session. I'm sharing a bit about the mental and emotional fatigue I've been experiencing lately and how this second round of therapy is helping me finally process parts of my past I once ignored. During this stretching, I've been especially grateful for the friends walking alongside me, which has served as a reminder that godly friendships aren't just nice to have but necessary. Life feels so much better when you don't have to do it alone. Join me on this episode as I come to realize that truth. 

Love, Life & Respite

This week on Sorin's Soapbox, we're slowing things down for a cozy catch-up. I'm sharing moments from celebrating my sister's birthday, what it looked like to step back and be present intentionally, and the mixed emotions that Valentine's Day can bring. I'm also officially in my romance era; talking about favorite romance films, favorite romance authors, and why we still need more diverse love stories represented on screen. It's a chill episode about love, life, and taking the moments of rest when we need them. 💘🎬✨

A Hunger That Never Satisfies

In this episode, I discuss the four idols we often turn to when we’re hungry for something deeper: pleasure, power, security, and approval, and why none of them ever truly satisfy.
This isn’t about changing behavior or trying harder. It’s about naming our true longing and trusting God to meet us.
If you’ve ever been curious about why certain patterns seem to keep coming back, this conversation is just for you.
🎧 Listen with an open heart.

The Year of Breakthrough

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. 

Dream Vacay, Thanksgiving, & SAD...

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.

New Month, New Moves

We can't believe it's already November, but we're kicking off the new month with some new moves! This episode, we're recapping my birthday trip to Cali, including the good, bad, and the nasty 🤢. I can't help but think of how far we've come since last year. I'm also sharing the official news of Sex, In Context. The goal is to just play catch-up and chill with y'all. Let's kick it together on Sorin's Soapbox. 

Bonus Episode: One Time for the Birthday Chick

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? While I'm still on the journey, I can finally say I see evidence of change, growth, and God's hand in it all. I'm reflecting on the shift, the stretch, and the grace of becoming. Oh—and I'm finally introducing something new to my listeners 👀💬 Tune in for life updates, honesty, and a bold step forward.

Love Looks Good On Us

This week's episode, we’re celebrating Black women who are living out their dreams of a soft life, whether it’s getting engaged, married, or simply getting everything they truly deserve. 💕 I’m excited to catch you up on my recent adventures, from upcoming birthday celebrations and book reviews to how I feel about reality TV shows' treatment of Black women. We’ll talk pop culture like: losing Diane Keaton and D'Angelo too close together, a Bad Bunny Super Bowl, and why some of your fave romance movies might not be the couple goals you imagine. Kick it with me as I rant and rave on my soapbox. 

This Chapter Requires Courage

This week on Sorin’s Soapbox, we’re catching up on all the things: birthday month energy, my first day party for the 30+ crowd, and a new segment where I finally talk about the books I’m reading 📚. But the real theme? Courageous conversations—and the way God’s been stretching me through them. It’s giving grown woman chapter. Let’s get into it.

Unfiltered & Unfinished

This week’s episode is a little different. I’m showing up mid-process, sharing what the last two weeks have looked like, including walking out of church and sitting with some heavy feelings I’m still working through. 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.
