🚨 NEW EPISODE ALERT: HOW LONG ARE YOU GOING TO KEEP “GETTING READY”?

Sis... 😂

You bought the notebook.
Took the course. Downloaded the template. Watched the webinar.
Did the research. Prayed. Planned. Tweaked it. Changed it. Changed it back.

And you’re STILL saying...
“I’m getting ready.” 👀

Okay, Sis.

We need to talk. 😂
Because what if...

🔥 “I’m getting ready” has become fear with a planner?

The next chapter of the Permission Granted series is here:

🎙️ CHAPTER SIX: PERMISSION TO START BEFORE YOU’RE READY

And no, I’m not telling you to be reckless. Preparation matters.

But sometimes preparation becomes a very respectable place to hide.
Because as long as we’re preparing, we don’t have to risk failing.

We don’t have to risk rejection.
We don’t have to be beginners.
And we don’t have to do the scary thing...

START.

So here’s the question we’re confronting in this episode:

👉🏾 Has God actually told me to wait... or am I waiting until obedience feels comfortable?

Because you may never feel 100% ready.

You may still have questions.
You may still be nervous.
You may still wonder how everything is going to work.
And you can STILL take the next faithful step.
You can be nervous and obedient at the same time.

So this week...

Take ONE step that moves you from:

❌ “I’m going to…”

to

🔥 “I STARTED.”

🎧 Listen to Permission Granted | Chapter Six: Permission to Start Before You’re Ready at P31Unfiltered.com.

Start small.
Start nervous.
Start with what you have.

But, Sis... START.

🔥 PERMISSION GRANTED.

📖 GIRL, READ YOUR BIBLE!

I started something recently that I decided I didn’t want to do alone.

I’m reading the Bible from Genesis to Revelation—straight through, in order—and I’m sharing the journey on YouTube.

Not a verse here and a chapter there. We’re starting at the beginning and walking through the Word together.

And Sis, you’re invited.

I created a balanced reading plan so that instead of trying to force the same number of chapters into every day, the readings are broken up into manageable portions.

But here’s what I really want you to know:

You do NOT have to be caught up to join us.

Start at Day 1. Start where we are. Read at your own pace. Just start.

Because sometimes we spend so much time looking for a word, a message, a confirmation, or somebody to tell us what God said...

when we haven’t opened THE Word.

So this is the invitation:

📖 Open your Bible.
🎥 Read along with me.
📝 Pay attention to what stands out.
🙏🏾 Let God meet you in His Word.

This is Girl, Read Your Bible! — 365 Days Through the Word.

We’re going from Genesis to Revelation, and I would love for you to come with me.

Comment BIBLE if you’re joining me. 💗

🎙️ NEW EPISODE: PERMISSION TO REST

Sis… when was the last time you rested without feeling guilty about it?

Not because everything was done.

Not because you had finally earned it.

And not because you were so exhausted that your body gave you no other choice.

I'm talking about simply deciding:

“I've done enough for today.”

For some of us, that's HARD. 😩

We sit down and immediately think about what we should be doing.

Another email.

Another post.

Another project.

Another load of laundry.

Another person who needs us.

And before we know it, we've connected being productive with being valuable.

But here's what we're talking about on this week's P31 Unfiltered:

🔥 Rest is not a reward you earn after you've exhausted yourself.

In Chapter Five of the Permission Granted series, we're talking about:

✨ Why your productivity is NOT your identity
✨ Why rest is biblical—not lazy
✨ The difference between diligence and anxious toil
✨ Why Jesus stepped away even when people still needed Him
✨ And why sometimes rest requires more faith than work

Because rest forces us to admit something:

The world can keep moving without us.

The business can survive.

The ministry can survive.

The people can wait.

The email can wait.

And God will still be God.

Maybe your act of faith this week isn't doing more.

Maybe it's finally putting something down.

Listen at P31Unfiltered. com

Then send this episode to that woman who's always working, always helping, always carrying, always doing...

And tell her:

“Sis… you can put it down for a minute.” 💕

Rest isn't quitting.

Rest isn't weakness.

Sometimes...

REST IS FAITH.

🔥 Permission to Rest.

PERMISSION GRANTED.

The next 30 days are waiting for you.

What are you ready to build?

Maybe it’s:

✨ A stronger visibility system
✨ A signature offer
✨ A consistent content rhythm
✨ A better client experience
✨ An automated business process

You do not have to build everything at once. Choose one meaningful priority, create a plan, and begin.

Small, consistent moves can create significant momentum.

Comment what you are ready to build next.
