About this episode

In this episode, Jess reflects on the life lessons from Waiting to Exhale and their relevance to modern women's experiences with love and healing.

Watching Waiting to Exhale as an adult hits differently. In this episode, I reflect on the powerful life lessons we can pull from Savannah, Bernadine, Robin, and Gloria, and how their journeys around love, healing, identity, and self-worth mirror seasons many women experience today. This conversation explores the difference between waiting and settling, choosing peace over pressure, rebuilding after heartbreak, and learning how to exhale without abandoning yourself. If you’re navigating singleness, healing, boundaries, or trusting God in a season of waiting, this episode will meet you right where you are. xoxo, Jess
