• Stop Being So Accessible
    Apr 6 2026
    Let's break down the high cost of emotional accessibility. We often mistake being "available" for being "kind," but without a perimeter, your peace is at the mercy of everyone else’s mess. Using the ancient leadership of Nehemiah, this episode provides a masterclass in rebuilding your life from the rubble of "yes." We’re diving deep into the psychology of Hyper-vigilance, the trap of the "Ono" distraction, and the "CEO Strategy" of the Sword and the Trowel. It’s time to stop building homes in cities with no walls. Pick up your bricks. Grab your sword. You are doing a great work, and you cannot come down. If this episode hit home, I want to hear from you. Let’s talk about your "Wall-Check" challenge this week. Instagram: @theycallmejess_ & @notsoparallelpod_ Email: notsoparallelpod@gmail.com

  • God, Are You Even Listening?
    Mar 30 2026
    In this episode of Not So Parallel, we walk through one of the most honest prayers in the Bible, Psalm 13. Have you ever felt like God was silent? Like your prayers were going unanswered? Like you were stuck in the middle of a story that just won’t move forward? David did too. Together, we break down the emotional journey of this psalm from the plea, to the exhaustion, to the fear, and finally to a faith that doesn’t ignore the struggle… but holds it. This isn’t a surface-level devotional. This is a deep dive into what it actually looks like to talk to God when you’re tired, confused, and still waiting. If you’ve ever asked “How long, God?” this conversation is for you 📩 Contact / Connect I’d love to hear your thoughts, questions, or what this episode stirred up in you: Email: notsoparallelpod@gmail.com Instagram: @theycallmejess_ Podcast IG: @notsoparallelpod_
