Sincerely Angie

On this week’s podcast episode Dear DJ, our good friend DJ was back (I think he is trying to be a permanent co-host on Sincerely Angie) and it was his turn to be on the not so hot seat. Well, the seat didn’t get hot until…

We as humans, are with ourselves 24/7. No breaks. No turning it off and on or getting out of your body at the end of the night and putting it back on the next morning. So, since we are always with us, how about thinking about showing up for us first before filling each others cup. The airplane is the perfect example. They always tell you to place the mask over your face first before helping others.

In the recent episode with DJ, I went down the alphabet asking him questions about his likes, loves and favorite things based on a specific letter and topic based on that letter. This is probably my favorite episode of 2026. We were chilling and I was able to pick some of his favorite things and let him joyfully speak on them. Topics like the beach, God, Jesus, Love, Relaxation and when we got to the Y-Yourself, DJ took a long pause.

Y’all don’t know him but he is the most selfless person I know. He is always one call a way. He will pray for you at the drop of a dime and he will Uber people around to make sure they can get to and from church on Sundays. So when I asked him what his favorite thing about himself was, he couldn’t think of anything. I had to give him an assignment. Write 10 things in your journal that you love about you. I also followed up with him and he hadn’t done it yet but I’ll give him grace. It’s hard to narrow down when you always think of others first.

If you can relate to DJ, take this as your sign to start off by writing down 10 things you love about yourself. If that was easy or light work, now write down 10 of your favorite things about yourself. Believe it or not but those can be two different things. Listen to the new episode here!

Sincerely,

Angie
