She shared the struggle of finding a healthy work-life balance for both the parents and the children in a pastor’s family. She also mentioned feeling like she had to figure things out on her own and develop a facade of independence due to the attention given to her brother’s issues.

Influenced by artists like Bobby McFerrin and Take Six, she describes her sound as “neo jazz,” a new take on jazz with improvisational elements.

The Importance of Trusting in God and Not Dwelling in Regret

We discussed regrets and the fear that often prevents people from pursuing their dreams. We highlighted the need to walk in the truth of forgiveness and the belief that God can make all things new. We cautioned against holding onto regret, as it is a prideful experience that hinders personal growth. We encouraged our listeners to learn from their mistakes, seek forgiveness, and move forward without regret.

The Concept of Regret

We delved deeper into the concept of regret. We emphasized the importance of not getting stuck in regret and shame when we make mistakes. We encouraged trusting in God and moving forward.
