Is it Hard for You to Think about You?

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,

Just Being Angie,

A post all about me, and a podcast episode too?! But, believe it or not, I don’t like a lot of attention. I think I’ve given myself so much of it, that any more is overkill. As much as I make March about me, only a few people really dote on me. I’m perfectly fine with that and even that can be overwhelming.

Over the last few months, I’ve kinda been in the spotlight or on the hot seat. I’m normally pretty reserved and chill. Just a glance at my socials will only tell you a few things about me. I tend to keep everything else private. So for Ronald Richardson and Eric Lewis to want to interview me solo dolo, it was very different for me. I am also not the type to request to do interviews on other people platforms. I don’t mind doing the interviewing but to be interviewed feels foreign to me. I feel like most people do interviews to bring eyes and attention to what they are selling and since I’m not selling anything, it makes no sense, to me. I understand the idea of getting your name or brand in front of different audiences though. It’s just not my thing. I also wouldn’t turn it down if it happened more, but I wouldn’t initiate it or force it.

Then my good friend DJ decided that he would add to this new wave and interview me on the Sincerely Angie Podcast. He had about 30 questions to ask me. He said that I always shy away from topics when I am talking with people on the podcast, so he wanted to go a little deeper and get some answers to questions the people may have. He touched on a few topics, from personal to professional for my thoughts and opinions.

Throughout the 3 recent interviews, I was just being me. Not selling anything, just sharing a bit of me and my mind, with whomever will listen. I hope that you’ll enjoy and learn something new. The interviews with Ron Rich and Eric Lewis as well as this weeks podcast episode, are listed below. Thanks in advance for listening and getting to know me a little more.

Is it Time to be Quiet?

I’ve learned a lot about me and others in my quiet time. In quiet moments, you get to reflect on what was said or what wasn’t said. What was done and what wasn’t done. How you felt, how you feel, and what those feelings mean. This is how self-awareness is formed and maintained.

The quiet I want to share with you all today has to do with knowing when to be quiet or when to say something. I am still fine tuning my discernment and knowing when to share what God has impressed on my heart. I get so excited when I get a revelation or when God does a thing in my life, like connecting dots. There’s a deep joy present to be able to share and recognize when God is talking to you and moving in ways that you once prayed about.

But then I sit and wonder, was I supposed to share that, God? Or was that something I was supposed to sit with and allow you to continue revealing to just me alone? Was I supposed to share that so soon? Am I supposed to fully be in it and get full clarity on it? I shared this with my cousin and she said, that maybe I am supposed to share it to encourage others. And essentially, that is my main purpose for sharing, to inspire or give hope to others.

Then I justify it by saying, God knows His child has a big mouth and she will definitely go and spread the good news. Lol! I also have to be mindful of my mouth and the words that come out of it. The mouth is powerful and because of my name’s meaning, I feel it’s my responsibility to be a good steward over what I may say to others. God surely knows my heart and an old saying “intention doesn’t equal impact” also comes to mind. So even though I mean well, I think that I will table my excitement and make sure the Lord gives me the okay to share. More daily prayers for God to bridle my tongue also.

In the most recent podcast episode, I share a story of how God moved and saved me from my emotions. It involved my thoughts, and realizing that those thoughts were not Christ-like and then fasting for renewal, clarity, revelation, and forgiveness. Listen to #DearDistraction here! In short, in 3 days, God told me to not worry, my feelings are valid and the problem is already solved. Hallelujah!!! This was a time I chose to be quiet and let God speak. Thank God I didn’t let my feelings and emotions distract me and get me caught up in a bigger issue.

Sincerely,

Angie 💜
