R & R With Chas

Today, we're diving deep into a transformative journey—from idolization to realization. It's about seeing people clearly, recentering toxic relationships, and embracing the fearless path God has set for us.We'll explore how placing others on pedestals can cloud our vision, the importance of focusing our minds on what truly matters, and strategies to build balanced, God-centered relationships.

Today’s episode is one that hits deep—we’re talking about rejection, loneliness, and how those experiences can leave us guarded, jaded, and questioning everything, even when something good finally comes along. If you’ve ever felt like you're stuck in your own head, constantly second-guessing yourself or pushing people away before they get too close. Rejection stings. Whether it’s from family, friends, relationships, jobs—whatever—it leaves a mark. You downplay your emotions. You sabotage something good before it has the chance to hurt you first. Rejection steals he best of who I am by reinforcing the worst of what's been said of me." -Lysa Terkeurst

In this episode, I talk about the importance of having confidence in yourself and in your testimony. Your story, your experiences, and everything you’ve overcome are powerful—and you have to own that. Doubt can make you question your journey, but when you stand firm in who you are and what you’ve been through, you inspire yourself and others. Your testimony is proof of your strength, resilience, and growth. Believing in yourself and your story is what will push you forward and open doors you never imagined. I also have two special guest appearances on this episode.

In this episode, I talk about the power of choosing confidence over the insecurities that others have projected onto you. Too often, we carry doubts that were never ours, letting them hold us back from our true potential. But stepping into confidence—owning who you are without apology—opens doors to success and allows you to tap into the greatness within you. When you release the weight of others' opinions, you free yourself to grow, thrive, and reach levels you never thought possible. Confidence isn’t just a mindset—it’s the key to unlocking your unused potential.Two journal prompt questions for you. What is the one compliment you struggle to accept and why? What is the best compliment and do you agree with it?

Life has been life-ing, and I had to take a step back from posting on the podcast to focus on myself. I’ve been prioritizing my well-being, spending time with myself, and making sure I’m no longer putting myself behind anyone else. This hiatus was necessary for growth, reflection, and realignment, and now I’m back—more intentional than ever. Moving forward, it’s all about me, for me, and becoming the best version of myself. Thank you for your patience and support on this journey!

Happy Mother's Day, I want to take a moment to honor all the incredible mothers out there. Being a millennial mother in 2024 isn't easy. We're bombarded with expectations of perfection, both in our careers and in parenting. But let's face it, we're only human. Despite our best efforts, we often find ourselves feeling overwhelmed, questioning if we're doing enough for our children.

Today's episode of "R & R with Chas" is a deeply personal exploration into a challenging aspect of human nature - holding onto delusions when dealing with people who exploit our worth. We'll delve into the roots of this behavior and how it relates to being a people pleaser and unhealed attachment styles. "Delusions often arise as a defense mechanism, shielding us from painful truths we're not yet ready to confront." - Dr. Judith Orloff
