Pep Talk with Yedidah: Faith Up!

Pep Talk with Yedidah: Faith Up!

I'm excited and ready to go! Faith Up is PepTalk with Yedidah. Let's have a "Real Talk" about faith, life, resilience, and strategies for an empowered life. Perfectionism is overrated so "Don't wait for perfect." Live. Create and have meaningful conversations. It's time to embrace life and bounce back stronger! Life happens. So does grace, forgiveness, mercy, and hope. Small steps lead to big wins. Let's go a step further. Ready? Let's go! Hebrews 11:1 "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."

A Message of Hope

July 17, 2025 • 14 mins

One thing I've discovered is that God doesn't do things in my timing. There are days I prayed and hoped for an answer, but He didn't answer my prayer when I expected.


Sometimes, He answered a completely different way.


To those who have been waiting. This one is for you. God is Sovereign, and He has a purpose for everything.


What we do as we wait is super important. Don't give up hope. Wait patiently and ...

Knowing your identity in God changes everything.

February 3, 2023 • 23 mins
When you know who and whose you are it changes everything. I want you to stand in truth. It will combat every lie around your identity and life. Your circumstance doesn't determine your worth.

Ever feel like life is going so fast? I do. I remember the day I brought a pair of roller blades and decided to skate in Central Park. Smh. Why did I do that? Lol I learned a valuable lesson that day. Don't try roller blading in Central Park if you don't know how. Yet, God saw me. I literally think He may have chuckled and thought, "There goes my daughter Yedidah again." Lol God sees you friend even when it seems like life is spinn...

Don't play small

November 30, 2022 • 24 mins

This is going to be good. I learned a valuable and hard lesson. I honestly believed I was doing God a favor by playing small. I don't know if I've ever been so wrong in my life. God didn't need my help. I've heard people talk about false humility before, but surely I wasn't doing that...so I thought. 

In this episode I am going to share with you with you how I needed to show up differently. Don't be afraid to take the leap and...

It's okay to be imperfectly perfected!

November 27, 2022 • 63 mins
Today, I decided to record outside with the wind bustling through the trees and the acorns falling. I've reached a place in my life where I'm okay with being imperfectly perfect. Sure I love operating in excellence, but I have learned to give myself some grace and show up anyway. I want you to be there too. Social media has attempted to dictate what worth, true happiness and prestige is. So many are wondering when will my life be p...

Who are you? The day God told me I am royalty.

Ever felt tremendously discouraged. I did and I can never forget how God spoke to me. What He said challenged my limited thinking. Me God? But I'm broken. How can I be royalty?

How to deal with the sadness and start moving forward.

August 5, 2022 • 34 mins
I want you to know it’s okay to experience sadness, but to also find ways to deal with prolonged emotional distress. You see, sometimes our emotions erupt like a can of hot soda. It’s not that your mad about the toilet seat being left up. Instead, your angry because you simply want to be heard. It’s not that your upset that the children won’t go to sleep, it’s that you feel like you want to be in control of how you raise them. You ...

You will not fall. You will not fail.

August 1, 2022 • 4 mins
I’d like to share a message of hope and inspiration with you. I think we can safely say the world is in a very interesting place. Grief, job loss and financial deficit along with uncertainty can cause you to feel very unsure. It can be easy to wonder if God sees you personal struggles. He does. I know this on a personal note. During the most intense moments of my life, God never abandoned me. Instead those moments were used to incr...

Vulnerability, intentionality and faith

July 28, 2022 • 27 mins
Today I interacted with two business owners who shared their need to pause and to reflect on their strengths. I had to go into their DM’s and let them know how much their post resonated with me. In this works of filters and fluff which is nice for entertainment, there are moments you need to step away from it all and celebrate and embrace those vulnerable moments. Mostly, embracing God in the midst of those moments makes all of the...

They can’t cancel you.

June 30, 2022 • 10 mins
There's so much reality tv and social media happening until some believe they can cancel your destiny, like they cancel a sitcom. Actually it's the enemy and it's not true. When the God of the universe and Heaven is on your side nothing can stop you. Nothing can stop you! I want you to learn to say, “Victory is my name.”

One thing I have learned is there is a purpose to every season. Sometimes we are laughing, sometimes crying. Here's the thing absolutely nothing takes God by surprise. He knows about your WHOLE life.

Today, I punched the punching bag super hard and super fast. Guess what it felt great. I wept today. I needed to.
