When the Universe Works While You're Not Watching
There's something magical that happens when you pour your heart into your purpose with authentic intention. For The Season of Self Love Podcast, that magic has been unfolding in the most beautiful way, with recognition pouring in from platforms we didn't even know were watching.
A Journey That Started with a Birthday Gift to the World
What began in October 2023 as a simple 4-week series to celebrate my 51st birthday has blossomed into something far beyond what I could have imagined. The Season of Self Love Podcast has become a daily beacon of hope, healing, and transformation for thousands of listeners around the world.
From those early solo episodes to now featuring incredible guests like Dr. Will Washington and countless other experts in healing and personal development, we've created something truly special together.
The Numbers Tell a Story of Impact
The recognition has been overwhelming and humbling:
FeedSpot Recognition

This consistent climb shows the growing impact and reach of our daily message
MillionPodcasts Recognition
Just this week, I received the most surprising and exciting email from Vineet Agarwal at MillionPodcasts, informing me that The Season of Self Love has been featured on not one, but THREE of their prestigious lists:
I'll be honest - I had never heard of MillionPodcasts.com before receiving this email, but that's exactly what makes this recognition so meaningful. It proves that authentic content finds its way to the right people, even when we're not actively seeking recognition.

The Year of ReBirth: 2025's Transformative Theme
This year's theme, "The Year of ReBirth," has resonated deeply with our audience. Each month brings a new focus:
January: New Beginnings
February: Cultivating Self Compassion
March: Letting Go (Releasing Limiting Beliefs)
April: Mindfulness
May: Nurturing Relationships
And so much more to come...
What This Recognition Really Means
These rankings aren't just numbers - they represent real people finding hope, healing, and the courage to love themselves more deeply. Every download, every listen, every life touched reminds me why this work matters so much.
The fact that we're being recognized alongside established podcasts in the self-love space, and specifically being acknowledged in the Black podcast community, speaks to the importance of diverse voices in healing and personal development.
The Universe Working Behind the Scenes
As I shared in this week's episode about "How the Universe Works While You're Not Watching," this recognition perfectly illustrates that principle. While we've been focused on showing up authentically every single day, creating content from the heart, and serving our community, the universe has been orchestrating connections and opportunities we never could have planned.
Overflowing with Gratitude
I am genuinely overflowing with gratitude - for every listener who has joined us on this journey, for every guest who has shared their wisdom, for Dr. Will Washington's incredible partnership, and for the recognition that's allowing us to reach even more people who need to hear the message of self-love.
What's Next for The Season of Self Love
This recognition fuels our mission even more. We're preparing for exciting developments:
Transitioning to daily live shows in July/August 2025
Expanding our digital offerings with workbooks and journals
Planning transformative retreats and events
Building our community even stronger
