In this episode of the From Creepin 2 Preaching Podcast, I share a beautiful story about love, marriage, compromise, and connection.  My husband decided to step outside of his comfort zone, and take hand dance lessons just so he could dance with me,  Every Sunday we attended classes together, learning the rhythm of hand dancing, partnership, and practice.  What started as dance lessons quickly became something deeper--it strengthened our marriage, gave us quality time together, and introduced us to an amazing community of couples who loved dancing and fellowship.

Those weekly classes became more than just learning steps; they became moments of laughter, teamwork, and building a stronger bond in our relationship.

Listeners Question:

Have you and your spouse or partner ever taken a class, learned a new hobby, or stepped outside your comfort zone together or strengthen your relationship?  If so, I would love to hear your story.  Share it with our community!

In this powerful episode of From Creepin 2 Preaching, we're talking about marriage after the honeymoon, real-life finances, and learning to trust your spouse when money gets tight.

After the wedding pictures fade and everyday life begins, who handles the bills? We chose him.  But trusting my husband with our finances forced me to confront my own insecurities, control issues, and financial anxiety.  Every time he said, "It's tight," my chest tightened.  My mind would race.  Was everything okay? Were we failing? Then later he's say, "We good now."  But why did that phrase trigger me so deeply?

If you're ever struggled with marriage and money, financial trust in relationships, budgeting as a couple, or anxiety around finances, this episode is for you.

Did your spouse handle the finances? Do certain money conversations trigger you? How did you learn to trust?

Let's talk about real love, real life, and real growth.

There was a season when I had to wait on God for my next assignment.  I took class after class, I served faithfully, I showed up--but something still wasn't fulfilled.  My spirit was hungry.  Not for more activity, but for more purpose.

One day a minister looked at me and asked, "What are you waiting for?  Why aren't you a minister yet?" I didn't have an answer--but I felt the weight of her words.

A few days later, while I was at work, my spiritual teacher walked in and simple said, "Good morning, Minister."

That was my confirmation.

See, God doesn't always shout.  Sometimes He confirms in whispers.  Sometimes He answers while you're just doing life.  God works in silence--and when the timing is right, everything becomes clear.

Have you ever felt like God was preparing you quietly for something you didn't even know you were ready for?

Look but Don't Touch is the moment we made a hard but holy decision.  We chose to stop all physical contact and truly serve the Lord with our whole hearts.  It wasn't easy, but it was necessary.  We committed ourselves to walking in obedience, got baptized, and rededicated our lives back to God.  Deep in my spirit, I knew it was the right choice--because I could hear my granny's voice reminding me to do what was right, even when it's hard.  That decision changed us.  It strengthened our faith, our discipline, and our purpose.

I want to know-have you ever been in a situation where you had to choose God over your flesh? If so, what did you do, and how did it turn out for you?

Living together for two years without intimacy so we could grow closer to God was one of the hardest decisions I've ever made.  It wasn't for the faint at heart.  It challenged our discipline, our patience, and our faith every single day.  There were moments of discomfort, moments of temptation, and moments where quitting would've been easier--but we stayed committed to honoring God and doing things differently than we ever had before.

Listeners: "Would you be willing to live with someone for two years without intimacy to grow closer to God--and do you think you could really do it for that long?"

I had to pump the brakes when it came to intimacy.  For the first time in my life, I chose not to rush, not to fill a void, and not to confuse attention with connection.  I realized I didn't even know the person yet--and more importantly, I was still getting to know me.  So I made a decision to guard my heart, slow my pace, and stop crossing bridges before I understood where they led.  This time, I chose clarity over comfort, patience over impulse, and self-respect over old habits. 

Listeners questions for you to think about:  "Have you ever had to pump the brakes on intimacy because you realized you didn't really know the person--or yourself yet?" or  "Has there ever been moment in your life when slowing down and guarding your heart became an act of self-love?"

Briefly, I had to make a choice--and I chose me before I chose you.  And even more than that, I chose God before I chose to get serious in any relationship.

I knew I wasn't read. I needed this year to reflect, to heal, to pray, and to get myself together.  No rushing.  No pressure.  Just slowing down and doing the inner work.

This season is about working on Renee--learning my worth, strengthening my faith, and making sure when I do love again, I'm whole, healed, and honest.

Sometimes choosing yourself and choosing God is the bravest love decision you can make.

Listeners, let me ask you: Have you ever chosen yourself before choosing someone else? Have you ever stepped back, slowed down and said, "I need to heal first.  I need to get me right."? What did the season look like for you--and what did it teach you?

I'd love to hear your story.  Sometimes choosing yourself is the hardest, yet most powerful, decision you'll ever make.

After the breakup...after the bankruptcy...after losing my home...I had to stop and work on ME.  I had to heal the parts of my heart I keep ignoring sit with the pain, and learn who Renee was without titles, without a marriage, without security.  That season wasn't about love--it was about restoration.

Then him appeared.  I wasn't looking, and I wasn't ready for anything serious.  I guarded my heat.  I moved slow,  It took over a year before I allowed someone back inside my heart again.  No rushing, No pretending.  Just honesty, patience, and healing--step by step.

Listeners, have you ever been through something like this? How did you handle opening your heart again after loss? Did you take your time--or did you rush before you were ready? Email me and let me know.  Your story might help someone else rise too.

In this episode, I open up about one of the hardest seasons of my life--the moment I had to file for bankruptcy and lost everything.  I couldn't get approved for a credit card, an apartment, or even the simplest form of help.  It felt like I was walking through life with a big "NO" sign stated across my forehead, and everyone could see it.  The guilt was heavy, the shame was crushing, and the pain felt never-ending.  

But this episode isn't about staying down-it's about what happens when pressure, hardship. and being overlooked force you to transform.  It's about recognizing that even when life crushes you, you are still valuable.  I was a diamond in the rough--pressed, bruised, tested, but never destroyed.

Listeners, I want hear from you:

Have you ever been in a season where you felt rejected or shut out? What steps did you take to overcome it? How did you rise from your lowest point?

In this episode, I open up about one of the hardest financial blows I've ever faced.  After my divorce, he stayed in the very home I purchased with my inheritance--my mother's legacy, my hard work, my stability.  And instead of doing the right thing, he chose not to pay the mortgage, not to pay a single bill, and simply squat while I tried to figure out my next move.  

I was left carrying the weight of decisions I didn't make, watching my credit, my peace, and my stability slip through my fingers.  My only option was to file for bankruptcy--something that crushed me, knowing how hard I worked to build myself up.  It hurt.  It changed everything.  And the truth is, he didn't care.  But I had to care...because it was my life on the line.

Listeners, have you ever found yourself in a situation where someone else's choices forced you into a corner? A moment where you had to rebuild from something you didn't break? If so, what did you do, and how did you get through it? I'd love to hear from you.

In this episode, I share what it felt like to move back to Washington, DC--fresh apartment, fresh start, but still carrying the weight of a divorce that was far from over.  I talk about settling into a new place at 100 I Street SE, learning to breathe again, and realizing that healing doesn't show up on your doorstep just because your zip code changed.  Then unexpectedly, I met a new friend--someone kind, someone present--but I knew deep down I wasn't ready.  Not yet.  I refused to drag old pain into new spaces, so I did the hardest thing of all: I sat in it.  I sat with my truth, my loneliness, my lessons, and I worked on me.

Listeners, have you ever caught yourself protecting your new beginnings by refusing to bring old baggage along? Have you had to pause before stepping into something new? If so, I'd love to hear how you handled it.

I moved back to D.C. to get away from that tired life of pretending--pretending to be something I wasn't.  I wasn't the perfect wife, and he wasn't the perfect husband.  Then came the court dates, and divorce proceedings, and the grief that followed.  Month after month, I found myself driving back to Annapolis for hours of meditation only realize what I truly missed...was M.E.

For the first time, I was living alone--no son, no dog, no husband--just M.E.  And that was something new.   So let me ask you, listeners, have you ever been through something like this? How did you handle it? I'd love to hear your thoughts--message me, drop me a DM, or send me an email.

You know, everything that shines ain't gold.  I was pretending to be in love--we were pretending to be happy.  We threw parties, hosted events, smiled for the crowd...but behind those smiles, things were falling apart.  He started going missing, and I kept making excuse after excuse for his behavior.  Before long, I started running from the truth myself.  But all that did was make our problems grow even bigger.  

So let me ask you, listeners--has this ever happened to you? Have you ever tried to make something look perfect when it was far from it? How did you handle it? What did you do? I'd love to hear your story--drop me a DM, a message, or email me.  Let's talk about it.

After losing my mom, I couldn't take the constant reminders of her everywhere in D.C.--the streets we walked, the smells of her favorite foods, even the smallest things like the sound of traffic or the corner stores we loved.  So, I ran.  I packed up and moved to Annapolis, Maryland, hoping that distance would bring healing.  But when I got there, the pain followed me.  I realized you can't outrun grief--it travels with you until you face it.

To my listeners: it's alright to be in pain. Don't rush your healing.  You can move cities, change jobs, or fill your days--but true healing starts when you sit with your feelings and work through them.  Have you ever tried to run from your pain? What did you learn when it finally caught up with you?

My mom loved the open road--North, South, it didn't matter.  She didn't need a map because she was the map.  No GPS, no Google directions, just her instincts and confidence.  She'd always remind me, "Know where you are, because getting lost isn't an option."

Her favorite time to drive was at night.  She'd pile all four of us into the car, roll the windows down, and hit the highway.  You'd hear her say, "Let's go before Smokey Bear get out here," talking about the highway patrol, and we'd all laugh.  Those drives weren't just road trips--they were life lessons.  She taught me independence, awareness, and the beauty of the journey itself.

Even now, I still prefer driving at night when I travel.  There's something peaceful about the open road, the hum of the tires, and the memories of her voice guiding me.

Have you ever traveled like that--without a map, just trusting yourself to find the way? Do you prefer traveling during the day or under the stars like my mom did? I'd love to hear your stories.

Don't You Sleep---BINGO! Ma loved her BINGO nights--she and her sidekick would catch the bus on Pennsylvania Avenue S.E. or 11th Street NE, and if they missed it, you became the driver.  One day, I had to drive them all the way down to Wayson's Corner in Maryland--a long trip, but Ma wasn't missing her game.  This time, I decided to play too.  While I got distracted, Ma was locked in like a pro.  Suddenly, she grabbed my paper, shouted "BINGO!" and looked me dead in the eye saying, "Don't you sleep Bingo!" That day, I learned a lesson about focus, determination, and never taking your eye off the prize--because Ma sure didn't.

When Granny got sick, Ma had to step up to the plate--literally.  She didn't know her way around the kitchen, but she tried.  We went from hot dogs and beans to Ma's first Thanksgiving meal.  It wasn't great, but we ate it--because it was made with love.  Over time, she got better, because she had no choice but to learn.  Now, I'd give anything to sit at a table again--whether it's Granny 's five-star meal or Ma's hot dogs and beans.  I truly miss them both.

Growing up, whenever my mom dated, we made it our job to drill her dates with endless questions.  Some passed, but many never came back.  Then one day HIM showed up--different from the rest.  He wasn't bothered by us at all, he laughed with us, showed us love, and won our hearts.  That's when Mom told us, "You will not run this one away."  And to this day, Him is still with us.

By day, I was a cheerleader--full of spirit, routines, and discipline.  By night, I was in love with the GoGo.  That rhythm, that sound, it pulled me in and shaped me in ways I still carry today.  At home, discipline often came with the belt, teaching me tough lessons about choices and consequences.  But I when my sister said we were going to the GoGo, I followed without question--because every word she spoke was law to me.  Those days of cheer and those nights of GoGo molded the woman the woman I am now, blending discipline with rhythm, order with freedom, and lessons that still guide me every single day.

Back in the day, almost every little girl I knew--my cousins, friends, everybody--already had their ears pierced.  And let me tell you, this wasn't no trip to Claire's I the mall.  Nope.  It was a needle, some alcohol, and your mama holding you still.  

I remember sitting there wanting to look just as cute as everybody else, begging Ma to let me get mine done.  For the longest time, she wouldn't she know I scared I was of needles.  I watched everybody else walk around with their little gold studs in and I was the only one with bare ears.

Then one day...Ma finally said, "come on." She pulled out that needle and that alcohol, and I swore she was trying to kill me.  I screamed like somebody was tearing me apart! She got one ear done and then pressed on and did the other.  It was horrifying--but after all that pain, I felt pretty and proud.  To this day though...I only have one piercing.

Let me take y'll back to those Easter mornings...when the straightening comb came out before the church shoes ever did.  I used to hate that hot comb--I'd sit there crying and thinking Ma was burning the back of my neck on purpose.  And if Ma didn't feel like dealing with us, she'd send us straight to Ms. Barbara--the neighborhood hairdresser with that little booster seat and even less patience.  She made sure ever single curl was tight and every kitchen was laid!

But as much as I cried back then, I look back now and love those memories.  They taught us confidence, pride in how we showed up, and most of all-they showed us love.

Do you remember those hot comb days? Did your mama or neighborhood hairdresser have you crying before church too? And now you look back...do you smile at those memories the same way I do?

When she left...it was like somebody took a pair of scissors and cut an invisible umbilical cord that I had been holding me together my whole life.  And just like that...I was out here...in this cold, cold, world...with no one who really knew me, no one who really love me the way she did.

You see, when you lose someone like that--someone who was your safe place, your security blanket, your everything--you don't just lost a person..you lost the version of yourself that existed when they were here.  I kept asking myself...how do I go on now? How do I take another step when the one person made this world feel bearable and made it make sense is gone?

I want to ask you...when you went through your loss, how did you do it? Did you seek therapy? Did you join a support group? Did you turn to your faith? Or...are you like me sometimes...still walking through the days with that quiet ache, trying to figure it out?

Because the truth is...I'm still learning how to live without her.  Some days, I'm strong. Other days, I'm right in that moment...feeling that cold wind hit me...wishing I could just hear her voice one more time.

So tell me...how did you go on? And...are you still going through it?

You know, after my mom left this world...I unplugged from life.  Completely.  Nothing felt good anymore--not the things that used to make me smile, not the things that used to give me peace.  I didn't know how to be a mom anymore, how to be a wife, or even a good friend.  Everything felt off key...off balance...like my life had lost its rhythm and I couldn't find my way back to the melody.

I went through the motions, but my heart wasn't in it.  It was like the light had gone out inside me, and I didn't know how to turn it back on.

Have you ever been there? Where life just doesn't make sense anymore? Where the things you used to love don't feel the same? If you have..how did you get over it? Or maybe you're still in it--and if so, what keeps you going day by day?

Because I'll be honest with you...grief doesn't come with instructions and sometimes it's hard to know where to even begin.

Listeners, let me be honest with you--yes, I went back and married the same man again.  After everything we'd been through the first time, we found ourselves standing in front of that justice of peace again.  My heart was hopeful, thinking maybe this time would be different.  My mom? She didn't want me to do it.  She gave me that look only a mother can give---the one filled with wisdom, concern, and love.  She warned me.  But I didn't listen.

I ignored every red flag waving right in front of me.  I silenced the doubts; pushed aside warning signs, and followed what I wanted to feel instead of what I needed to see.  Sometimes, we convince ourselves that love can fix what time, truth, and reality already exposed.

Have you ever gone back, hoping things would be different the second time? Ignored your gut and your mama's voice? Tell me your story.  Let's talk about it.

Let me tell y'all something--going back wasn't easy, but it was familiar.  Comfortable in an uncomfortable kind of way.  We still laughed, we still had fun, and we even moved in together on Colorado Avenue NW.  But to be real, that place was a dump.  I knew deep down it wasn't where we were meant to be.  So I made a move and got us a place down at 325 P Street SW somewhere we could all live together, including my son.  That's when things started to feel a little more like home again.  Listeners, have you ever gone back to something that felt familiar--even if you knew deep down it wasn't right--just because it was easier than starting over?  What did you do when comfort started feeling uncomfortable?  I'd love to hear from you--email me and let's talk about it.

Listeners, have you ever ignored your gut, stayed too long, made excuses---only to find out you were right all along? That something wasn't sitting right because something wasn't right?  

When I finally pressed him for the truth, he looked me dead in the eye and said, yes--he was seeing someone else.  Imagine that.

My heart didn't just drop---it lit up in flames.

Listeners, if someone betrayed you like that, what would you do? How would you rise from it? Would you let it break you, or would you let it build the next version of you--stronger, wiser, unstoppable?

I want to hear your stories.  Email me---tell me how you would handle a betrayal like that.  Let's talk about real healing--the kind that sets you free.

Let me ask y'all something---have you ever put a wrecking ball to your own life?  Because I did.  I shut down my feelings, shut down my affection, and started nitpicking, picking cat fights over nothing.  Just because I didn't understand this peace I had in the relationship.  And honestly, maybe deep down...I was addicted to chaos.

Have you ever found yourself there? Stirring up mess when things are finally clam, because the calm feels too foreign?  Are you--or have you ever been--addicted to the chaos too? If so, I'd love to hear about it.  Email me and let's talk about it.

I want to be honest with you----I found myself asking, What's wrong with you? I had everything I thought I wanted: a great job, good benefits, my house in order, and a good man by my side.  On paper, life looked perfect.  But deep inside, I was uncomfortable, restless, almost like something was missing.  I couldn't figure out why.  Why am I questioning everything now?  Why can't I just be happy?

Let me ask you, listeners---have you ever felt like this?  Like everything should be right, but something still feels off? If so, why do you think that happens? I'd love to hear your thoughts---email me and let's talk about it

This week, I'm pulling back the curtain on a chapter of my life that tested every ounce of my strength.  I was deep in the trenches of hard, grueling training---far from home, missing my son, and questioning if I could really make it through.  I wanted to quit.  I wanted to run home where it was safe and familiar.  But my mom gave me some tough love:  "Don't come back without a JOB."  So I had a choice-break down or break through.  Tune in to hear how I learned to suck it up, push past the homesickness, face adversity head-on, and come out the other side with a solid career, good benefits, and a retirement plan that made every tear worth it.  

Have you ever wanted to quit but heard that one voice that pushed you to keep going?  Let's talk about it.

Hey listeners, today I want to open up about something that caught me off guard.  There was a time when life finally got quiet---no drama, no chaos, just peace.  Everything seemed to be falling into place.  But instead of feeling happy, I felt uncomfortable.  It was like I didn't know how to live without the noise and the mess.  I started questioning myself, wondering how to sit in the calm.  

Have you ever felt uncomfortable when life got too peaceful--like you were waiting for something to go wrong? Let's dig into it.

Listeners, I want to take a moment and be real with you about turning 30.  It wasn't just a birthday--it felt like a crossroads.  I didn't want to let go of my twenties.  I wasn't ready.  I had tears not just because another years had passed, but because I felt like I was losing a part of myself--my youth, my wildness, my freedom.  There was so much uncertainly ahead, and I feared.  Fear of what was next.  Fear of making the wrong choices.  Fear that maybe I hadn't accomplished what I thought I should have by now.  My twenties were messy, but they were mine.  And stepping into this new chapter felt like walking into the unknown without a map.  Have you ever felt like that-caught between who you were and who you're becoming?  What did that moment look like for you?

Listeners, everything started to click for me--life was finally moving in the right direction.  I had a new beau, a new job, and I was got a promotion and feeling proud of the growth I was making.  We began taking trips back and forth to New York City with our dog, Sheba, creating memories that still warm my heart.  My son even found a big brother figure in him, and for the first time in a long time, our little family felt whole.  Have you ever had a moment where everything just started to fall into place?

Listeners, let me take you back to one of the most healing parts of my journey--Friday Night Date Nights with my son.  Every week, we made it a tradition.  Just the two of us.  Whether we were walking through the mall, catching a movie, flipping through magazines at Border, or screaming at the top of our lungs on rollercoasters at Six Flags--it was our time.   Sometimes we just went swimming, letting the water carry away the weight we both silently carried.  Those nights were more than just fun-they were a form of therapy.  In those moments, I didn't feel broken or overwhelmed.  I felt whole.  Watching him smile, hearing his laugh, it reminded me that even in the middle of chaos, love has the power to bring peace.  That was our reset button.  Our bond.  Our escape.  And I thank God for every single one.

Listeners, there came a time when I had to face the painful reality of my ex-husband's repeated marital affairs.  I stayed, hoping things would get better-for me and especially for my son.  I held on, believing love and loyalty might eventually change the situation.  But one day, something in me shifted.  I knew I deserved peace.  So I made a decision to walk away.  I found my own apartment just around the corner-close to my sister and friends who knew me before all the heartache.  It was the first step toward reclaiming my life.

Listeners, this episode is close to my heart because it's about how experience became my greatest teacher.  I started out as a security guard--no experience, just a heart full of hope and a mind willing to learn.  I faced a lot of doubt, a lot of mistakes, and moments where I questioned if I was enough.  But every stumble taught me how to stand taller.  I worked my way up to a sergeant, lieutenant, and captain, and finally area supervisor, where I was trusted to lead an entire team.  It wasn't easy--I had to grow into the leader I needed to be, often learning the hard way.  But every lesson, every hardship, shaped me into who I am today.  Any today, I want to walk you through that journey--the highs, the lows and everything in between.

Sometimes you take a leap and trust that somehow you'll land on your feet--and that's what I did.  I left my job at the jail, but I did have another opportunity waiting for me as an executive assistance.  It felt like a fresh start.  But life got heavy again--the responsibilities, the bills, raising my son alone while my spouse stayed busy running the streets and somewhere in all of it, I forgot about me.  So I left that job too...this time with no job lined up.  What kind of person does something like that? A person who was drowning and just needed a way to breathe.

I want to take a moment to talk about something that's been heavy on my heart.  I loved that man---deeply.  Through all the ups and downs, through the silence and the storms, my love for him was real.  And when he asked me to raise a baby...while we were still married...it wasn't something I took lightly, I actually considered it.  I sat with it.  I prayed on it. I wrestled with it.  Because when you love someone, really love them, you try to figure it out.  Even when it doesn't make sense.  Even when it hurts.  But in the middle of all that, I had to find me.  I had to remember that I love myself too.  And I love my friends and my family--those who've stood by me even when I made decisions that looked silly, reckless, or confusing to the outside world.  I just want y'all to know, love is layered.  It's complicated.  And sometimes the heart will have you choosing people before you choose yourself.  But I'm learning.  I'm growing.  And I'm still standing.  That's why I'm here--sharing my truth, one piece at a time.

To my listeners, I want to share something real--from the heart.  I had so much passion in my past, a deep desire to love and be loved, to build something meaningful.  I gave my all, even when it meant letting go of my own identity--my family.  I was willing to make sacrifices for love, for commitment.  But looking back, I also carry regrets.  Regrets for silencing my own voice.  Regret for dimming my light to make someone else feel comfortable.  I lost parts of myself trying to hold it all together.  Now, I speak not just from experience, but from a place of healing--because I know I'm not alone.  If you've ever given too much and felt like it still wasn't enough, I see you.  I've been you.  And we're still standing.

Life has a way of shifting, sometimes in ways we don't expect.  The tide started changing for me when I found myself juggling so much--motherhood, work, and the uncertainty of home life.  There were moments I don't know if my husband would still have a job, if rent would get paid, or even if he'd have a new girlfriend.  But in the middle of that storm, a breath of fresh air came through a friend--someone who lived just two buildings away.  Spending time with her and her daughter gave me an outlet, a space where I could relax, laugh, and feel some ease.  And then, there were the moments with my son--going to the mall, having fun at Six Flags.  Those times reminded me that even when life felt uncertain, joy still existed.  The tide was shifting, not because everything got easier, but because I found little moments of relief.  And sometimes, that's all we need to keep going.

Let's talk about one of those moments when life felt like it was finally coming--together--only for the past to come knocking.  Everything was going well, and then my ex-resurfaced.  He came back, not just with words but with a ring, a proposal, and a promise of a fresh start.  And I said yes.  Before I knew it, I had packed up my life and moved to Maryland, stepping into a new role--not just as a wife, but as a mom and a stepmom.  I was trying to adjust, trying to make it all work.  But just like before, the cracks started to show.  There were other women.  There were other issues.  And yet, life was life.  I told myself to push through, to focus on the good, to build something stable in the chaos.  But here's the thing--when you ignore the truth, when you try to hold together something that was broken from the start, the weight of it all catches up to you.  And it did.  I learned that no matter how much you want something to work, it takes two people fully committed, fully honest, and fully present.  And that wasn't the case.  I'll dive deeper into what happened next, but I want you to sit with this--how often do we convince ourselves that things are okay just because we don't want to start over again?  How often do we settle for what feels familiar instead of what we truly deserve?

When I moved back to 1505, the house was full of life--people everywhere, laugher, and the kind of warmth only home can bring.  My granny, known for her famous Eastern Star card games, was always in the kitchen cooking up some soul food that would have you licking your fingers.  My uncle, an executive chef who had traveled the world, brought his culinary skills home, whipping up dishes like rockfish and pie with meat--which I later learned was actually quiche.

I cherished the simple moments, like walking down to Mt. Pleasant Library with my son and nephew, then stopping by Heller's Bakery for cupcakes.  Christmas time was always magical-ice skating, movies, and my granny's legendary holiday dinners that brought everyone together.  But just as life was settling into this beautiful rhythm, my ex reappeared, apologies in hand, promising change.  This time, I took a chance, and we moved to Maryland--Kirkwood--a new chapter, but the past never too far behind.

I want to take y'all back to where it all started. My ex-husband and I grew up on the same block--our moms grew up together, and the whole neighborhood felt like home sweet home.  It was the kind of place where everybody knew each other, where childhood memories were made.  

Years later, while I was working at the jail, we crossed paths again.  But this time, something was different.  The way he looked at me wasn't the same as when we were kids.  That look turned into something more, and before I knew it, we started dating.  I moved in with him  on U Street, NW and life was good--for a while.

Then came the other women.  And when they came, I left.  I moved back to 1505, trying to pick up the pieces.  But he came back, apologized and I gave him another chance.  And another. And another.  This cycle went on for years--me leaving, him coming back, me believing things would change.

It took me years to finally break free, to overcome the hold that cycle had on me.  But I want y'all to know that healing is possible.  It's not easy, and it doesn't happen overnight, but one day, you wake up and realize you're done repeating the same story.  And that's when real freedom begins.

Imagine hearing your name whispering softly, enticingly:  "Renee, Come Out to Play... " The streets had a way of calling my name, pulling me back into their darkness, making promises they never intended to keep.  Each time I returned, the price was heavier, the scars deeper.  I found myself pregnant again-this time, nearing losing my life through an ectopic pregnancy.  In that painful moment, I knew enough was enough.  I looked into my son's eyes and promised him--and myself--that I'd never let the streets call me back again.

Ladies I want to share a moment I call my "All Hail to the Jail" experience.  Yes, it's raw, but it's real.  During one of the toughest periods in my life, I found myself gaining invaluable skills of the next leg of my journey.  Despite how difficult and challenging my supervisor made things for me, I refused to be defined by his harsh treatment.  I stayed determined, earned a promotion, and ultimately gained skills that shaped my future. 

I share this because life isn't always neat or easy.  Sometimes we face unfair situations and challenging people, yet those very experiences can equip us with unexpected strength and lessons.

Now, I want to hear from you--have you faced a similar crossroads?  How did it shape you?  Share your story with me.  Let's grow together through our truths.

Before I found my true purpose, I had a layover in life working as a receptionist at a daycare.  I spent my days answering phones, handling daily tasks, and greeting parents with a smile.  But even in that role, I stayed focused on learning different skills because I knew it was just a stepping stone to bigger and better things.  Through it all, my son remained my top priority, pushing me to keep growing and striving for more.  That chapter taught me the value of patience, growth, and never settling.

To my teen moms, I want you to know I wasn't ready to be a mom.  I didn't even know how to change a diaper and had to ask my granny for help and guidance.  Over time, my motherly instincts kicked in, but I was still young and wanted to enjoy life.  I loved DC GoGo music, so much as that I when I went out, I would leave a cassette tape playing in my baby's crib to share that love with him.  It wasn't easy balancing motherhood and being a young woman trying to find her way, but it was part of my journey.

Let me tell you about the curveball that changed everything.  Once I got pregnant, something inside me shifted--I no longer had feelings for him.  I wanted that picture-perfect family, the stability and love dream about.  But he wasn't on the same page.  He wanted the street life, and deep down, I knew it wasn't going to work.  Our paths were heading in two completely different directions, and reality hit me hard.

I want to share something deeply personal.  After having gone through multiple abortions in the past, I found myself at another crossroads when I became pregnant again.  This time, something inside me shifted.  I decided to keep the baby--and it wasn't an easy decision, but it was the one that changed my life.  Choosing to bring life into the world made me refocus, mature, and take responsibility in ways I hadn't before.  It taught me strength, love, and the value of second chances.  That decision wasn't just about the baby--it was about me finally deciding to rewrite my story for the better.

It was a turning point where I realized I needed to put myself first and start building a future I could be proud of.

Let me share this moment with you.  He had just brought me new sneakers, and I was proud to wear them to school.  But on the way, he decided--out of nowhere--that I should take them off right in the middle of the street.  I'll never forget how my friends laughed at me as I stood there, embarrassed and hurt.  At 15, I didn't understand why he wanted to humiliate me like that, but I learned something important that day: he didn't break me.  That moment taught me I was stronger than the pain he tried to cause, andI want you to know that no matter what you're going through, you can rise above it too.

After my abortion, we would fight and make up just as fast, stuck in toxic cycle I didn't know how to escape.  At just 14, I thought I was grown, convinced I had all the answers, but I was so wrong.  He was much older, manipulative, and used my vulnerability against me.  I don't want anyone out here to go through what I went through, thinking they have to grow up too fast or let someone control their decisions.  I share this because you deserve better, and I want you to know it's never too late to take back your power.

Flashing lights and sleepless nights made me feel alive on the outside.  The thrill of chasing the fast life, running after those bad boys, and living for the moment gave me a sense of excitement--but deep inside, I was dead.  I was empty, searching for something to fill a voice that no party, no relationship, and no reckless thrill ever could.  If you're caught up in that life, know this: it doesn't have to define you.  You can overcome it.  you can break free from the cycle of chasing what doesn't serve you and find real peace and purpose.  Trust me, I've been there, and I know freedom is possible.

As a teenager, I chased thrills and paid bills, thinking it gave me purpose.  The excitement of fast living made me feel independent and in control, but in reality, it came at a steep price.  My choices left me feeling lost, broken, and disconnected from myself.  The illusion of having it all figured out unraveled, showing me that the so-called "purpose" I was chasing wasn't real-it was a distraction from the deeper pain I didn't know how to face.  Sharing this now is my way of showing that mistakes don't define you, but the lessons you learn can.

At 14, I faced a decision that no child should ever have to make.  Pregnant and overwhelmed, I felt lost and unprepared for the consequences of choices I barely understood.  With no real guidance and the weight of shame pressing down on me, I chose to have an abortion.  It wasn't an easy decision, but at the time, it felt like the only way to reclaim some sense of control in a life spinning out of control.  That moment marked the beginning of a journey filled with pain, guilt, and eventually, the desire to heal and grow.  Sharing this story now is part of my effort to free myself and help others find their own path to healing.

At the tender age of 21, after facing the heartbreak of an abortion, I was told by the doctor that I could no longer have children.  In that moment, my world shattered, and I was left carrying a cross of guilt, loss, and unfulfilled dreams.  It wasn't just the physical reality--it was the emotional burden of knowing that a choice I made, one I thought I could move past, now defined my future.  The pain of hearing those words haunted me, forcing me to confront the weight of my decisions and the profound sense of what could have been.

I'm sharing my story now because it's time to go beyond the surface, to move past the mask I've worn for years, and to be real with myself and with you.  Writing my book, "From Creepin 2 Preachin,  was just the beginning; it touched on my experiences, but didn't dive into the raw, unfiltered truth of who I am and what I've been through.  By telling my story now, I'm seeking healing, freedom, and maybe even connection with someone who needs to know they're not alone.  This podcast is my way of shedding light on the pain, the lessons, and the growth that have shaped me, hoping it might offer insight or comfort to others on their own journeys.

In this episode, Private Man vs. Public Man, I'm peeling back yet another layer of my story-breaking down the walls that have kept parts of me hidden so long.  I'm sharing this with you because it's time to confront the difference between the person I showed to the world and the real, raw person I kept locked away.  By exposing these parts of myself, I want to show how freeing it can be to stop hiding behind the mask and to live authentically, even when it's hard.  I want to you feel the liberation that comes from facing the truth about who we really are, and maybe you'll find a bit of your own truth along the way.  Tune in to hear how each step forward is helping me let go of the need to pretend and how you, too, can break free from whatever masks you wear.  This journey isn't just mine--it's ours, and I'm inviting you to walk it with me.

In Episode Five Pop Pop Pill Pill, I want to take you back to a time my life when I was young, confused, and completely out of control.  I was a teenager, and life was moving at this whirlwind speed that I couldn't handle.  Everything felt so heavy, but I didn't have the tools or the guidance to deal with it in a healthy way.  So, I took 28 birth control pills-all at one.  At that moment, it wasn't about contraception or even rebellion; it was an impulsive act that felt like the only control over my life.

But here's the truth: taking those pills solved nothing.  If anything, it just showed me how reckless I was, how desperate I was for something to change.  Instead of helping, it was just another way to mask the pain I was feeling.  I didn't know how to talk about my struggles or ask for help.  I thought I was invincible, yet I was destroying myself little by little.

In episode 4 I call myself a "Dressed Up Trash Can", because for years, I hid behind a facade, masking my pain and struggles I faced internally.  Outwardly, I presented myself as put-together, but inside, I was dealing with deep emotional turmoil, guilt, and unresolved issues.  I felt like I was carrying around all of this hidden pain while trying to appear perfect to the outside world.  That phrase captures the way I felt about the disconnect between my inner struggles and my outward appearance, symbolizing how I felt trapped by the need to hide my true self for so many years.

For years, I hid behind lies and deceit, building a fortress around myself of stories that weren't true.  I crafted a version of myself that I thought people would accept-a version that didn't reveal my deepest pain or my biggest mistakes.  I was afraid of what others would think if they knew that real me, so I kept it all hidden.  I lied to protect myself, but all I was really doing was burying who I truly was, piece by piece.

In Episode 2, I reflect on how growing up in Uptown D.C. during the 1960's and how it shaped my life in my later days.  The strong sense of community we had and how neighbors looked out for each other and where "Big Momma" was the watchful, loving presence, gave me a foundation of love, support and discipline.  Those childhood games in the streets weren't just fun-they taught me about teamwork, competition, and resilience.
