Are You Suffering or Being Refined?

A Sister Convo About Personal Growth, FINSTA’s & Calling People Out On Their Shxt

WELCOME TO SEASON 2 OF THE BYT PODCAST!

I decided the theme for Season 2 is BEING REAL -- for this episode there was no better way to be real than have a real conversation with my “literal” younger sister, Ana. A glorified GenZ-er, world traveler and self care enthusiast, join us in a funny conversation about our toxic traits, personal growth, depression, FINSTA’s, self-care, frequencies and a lot more, this is probably my longest podcast yet but girl, we had a lot of catching up to do! This is also the first podcast episode that I video recorded portions of so I’m excited to edit those and share them with you later. Enjoy!

Your Mission, Mindfulness & Mu’u Mu’u’s with Marion Jones

Aloha BYT’s,

Today, I talk to Marion Jones of The Mu’u Mu’u Library who is a dear friend of mine. We have a conversation about sustainable fashion, honing in on your life’s mission and making prayer a part of your daily life.

Marion and I met a few years ago and connected on our love for learning, entrepreneurship and God. You get an inside on all three and our relationship in this catchup between sisters. I’ve always respected her drive and her love for helping locals thrive. I hope it gives you a delightful insight into Marion’s vision for the Mu’u Mu’u Library and the future. 

Thanks for listening, 

Anela

You’ll Be Okay Here - Faith & Doubt

Hello Beloved Young Things, 

This episode is about “how I fight my battles.” These battles are mostly spiritual or in my mind or both. We get real about wrestling with my faith while trying to encourage others in theirs. I want to open the conversation to be honest with our questions about AND to God. I also share a bit about why, although life is still hard now, it’s lighter because I’ve welcomed God into my life. 

I encourage you to be honest with yourself about questions you have for God. Go deep within, reach far and wide for answers.

Never stop seeking truth and truth will come. 

Thank you, 

Anela
