After a much-needed pause since March 1, your favorite host Lala is back with guest, Nichelle, for a deep, raw, and soul-stretching conversation to mark the return of The Spilled Milk Podcast. This is not just an episode—it’s a reclamation, and we’re unpacking all the emotional suitcases we’ve been carrying.

In this extended and unfiltered comeback episode, we dive into:

🍼 Parenting through fear and the emotional layers children absorb
🍼 The influence of media on kids and protecting their peace
🍼 A reflective trip to New York City that stirred growth and healing
🍼 Church hurt, betrayal, and how to rebuild spiritual trust
🍼 The power of energetic detox and what we allow into our spaces
🍼 Breaking generational patterns that glorify burnout
🍼 The quiet war of over-communication vs. sacred silence
🍼 The illusion of quick fixes and the reality of soul work

At the center of it all is energetic consumption—what we take in, hold on to, and unknowingly carry in our bodies, our homes, our parenting, and our spirits.

• Parenting through fear? That’s about the energy we absorb and pass down.

• Church hurt and spiritual disillusionment? That’s energetic wounding and spiritual clutter.

• Generational cycles, burnout, always being “on”? That’s unsustainable energetic output.

• Rest, boundaries, silence, and detox? That’s the path to energetic healing.

  
  

We talk GOD, boundaries, faith beyond tradition, biblical literacy, and the necessity of emotional processing. We hold space for you to feel seen in your healing journey—whether you’re parenting through pain, grieving spiritual community, or learning to love yourself outside of performance.

✨ It’s honest. It’s healing. It’s everything we’ve been holding in—and now it’s poured out.
