SWEET SLEEP WITH JESUS | Exhaustion, Sleep Deprivation, Night Prayer Christian, Relax, Sleep Meditation
Is your mind racing the moment your head hits the pillow? Are you exhausted but terrified you won’t have the energy to function tomorrow? Do you ever wonder why everyone else seems to rest easily but you can’t? Are you afraid this cycle of anxious thoughts and mental chaos will never end?
If you whispered ‘yes’ to any of that, you’re in the right place.
This podcast will help you calm your racing thoughts, step into spiritual authority, and find deep, consistent sleep so you can rest fully and sleep with confidence again.
Hey! I’m Emem, your future friend and a passionate Jesus lover. About fifteen years ago, I went through the most tormenting season of my life — I could not sleep.
Night after night my mind raced. I was anxious and terrified. Nothing I tried worked — not teas, not medicine, not routines, not forcing myself to ‘just relax.’ I felt helpless, hopeless, exhausted, and honestly… I felt like I was going crazy.
Through the help of the Holy Spirit, I finally realized that peace had already been given to me — and the enemy had stolen it.
I learned how to stand in my spiritual authority and take my peace back. With the truth of God’s Word and the authority He gave me, I went from hopeless, afraid, and mentally exhausted to restored in peace, anchored in joy, renewed in my mind, and sleeping sweetly.
Pajamas on, lights low, worries off — welcome to sweet sleep with Jesus.

I recently tweeted the following: "How come no one talks about the difficulty of transitioning into new seasons where everything is NEW?!?" A season where you are humbled because you have to re-learn, re-adjust, and be flexible.."
Welp! This is me talking about it.

I love having authentic conversations with people who are courageously going after the calling on their life. Ruky is doing just that. In this episode she gets real and vulnerable about her journey to purpose. She shares her highs, lows, and everything in between. Take a listen!

Social media has this way of fooling us into thinking everyone is doing well BUT YOU and that you are isolated in your pain. However, after having some eye-opening conversations with different people, I realize this couldn’t be further from the truth.
Yes, the sun is shining and the days are gorgeous but we are living in some dark and scary times. Just turn on your phone and look through the news app and you will see exactly what I’m talking about. Our personal lives are no different. On the outside things seem good but behind closed doors, things are (if you allow yourself to admit it), a hot mess. Things are not so great.
So, what do you do when things are not so great?! What do you need to do to make it through?
I share my thoughts on today’s newest podcast episode.

Summer is FINALLY here and with that comes warm sun shiny days, laying by the pool, vacationing and more. As for me, this summer has come with the T word... transition. I have been tempted to say to God: "this again?! Can we not?!"
I have heavily disliked transition because it has revealed some fears I didn't know existed. But throughout every period of transition, I have learned how to maintain my peace and not let the worry, fear, and anxiety of a new season overwhelm me.
So, If you find yourself in a new season or transitioning into a new season, this episode was made for you. ❤️

SHOWNOTES
If there is one gift I believe everyone NEEDS to have, it is discernment. Nothing exemplified this need like the drama that occured between YouTubers Tati Westbrook and James Charles.
