Summary

Just because it hasn’t happened yet doesn’t mean it’s not on the way. It’s time W.E. let go of those made-up timelines and start showing up fully right where we are.

In this conversation with SJR, powerhouse attorney, author, and TV judge Faith Jenkins reminds us that life doesn’t move on our schedule. It moves in divine timing. And trust, she didn’t just come with hot takes, sis came with receipts, exhibits A through Z, and a closing argument that’ll have you rethinking everything.

If you’ve been grieving the life you thought you’d have by now, hit play. There's purpose in your present, and this episode just might be the shift you needed to see it.

We want to Mind Your Business. Call and talk to SJR. Leave a message, a testimony or a question you want her to answer. ‪(214) 790-7871‬
