Thank God For Everything (TGIF) - Why We Must Thanking Him For Everyday Moments!!!
In this episode, I'm challenging all of us to rethink what TGIF really means. It's not just "Thank God It's Friday" – it's "Thank God For EVERYTHING"! I'm talking about thanking Him for every moment, every second, every minute, every hour, every day, every month, every year, and beyond. When we limit our gratitude to just Fridays or just the good times, we're missing the bigger picture of God's constant presence in our lives.
Life can throw us all curveballs, and sometimes we may feel overwhelmed, but it's crucial to remember that every experience shapes us into who we are meant to be. I share a personal experience that I recently had while talking and gaining wisdom from an elderly gentleman who reminded me that it's not just about being "above the green" but about having our right mind and the ability to stand and have conversations. God's goodness goes far beyond what we typically acknowledge!
Tune in Now, as we reflect on the importance of thanking God for every moment we experience, whether joyful or challenging:
Throughout this episode, I offer prayers for those facing illness, for family members serving as caregivers, for our children of all ages, for safety outside our homes, and for peace in our workplaces. I describe how God surrounds us completely – above us like an umbrella, in front guiding our path through life's maze, behind us cleaning our transgressions, and beneath us as our rock foundation.

Wind Down Wednesday - The Painted Penny: What Your Response to Painted Pennies Can Reveals About You
In this episode, I’m diving deep into the world of friendships and relationships. Have you ever felt like some friends just don’t value you the way you value them? Well, I had a heartfelt conversation with my daughter about this very topic, and I want to share those insights with you.
We often overlook the small gestures that truly matter in our relationships. I like to think of them as "pitching pennies." These little acts of kindness can mean the world to someone, even if they seem insignificant. But what happens when you realize that some people won’t even pick up a "Painted Penny" for you? It’s a powerful metaphor that I believe can help us evaluate our connections and understand who truly supports us.
Join me as I explore the importance of mutual support, and how we can all be more mindful of the relationships we cherish. I'm getting personal in this one, sharing real examples from my own life and my daughter's experiences. And I'm keeping it real too – acknowledging that we/ I'm human and sometimes fail to pick up those pennies for others as well. But that's the beauty of growth, right? We recognize our blind spots and do better. This episode isn't about judging others or holding grudges; it's about understanding relationship dynamics and reducing stress by knowing which "boxes" to put people in.
So, sit back, relax, and let’s wind down together while we reflect on the value of our connections. Don't forget to follow the show, leave comments wherever you listen, and call or text me at 762-333-2032 with your thoughts.

Financial Freedom Fridays - ft. Tremaine Wills "WAKE-UP CALL for 2025"
In today's episode, I had the honor of sitting down with financial powerhouse Tremaine Wills. Let me tell you, this conversation is exactly what our community needs right now as we navigate this crazy start of 2025. This episode is our WAKE-UP CALL to Financial Freedom.
Tremaine shared her incredible journey from braiding hair as a 12-year-old entrepreneur to becoming a respected financial planner with her own agency. What I love most about Tremaine is how she's created a judgment-free zone for our sisters to talk about money, build wealth, and break generational cycles. She dropped some serious knowledge about sinking funds, holiday spending traps, and viewing money as a tool rather than a status symbol. Her book "Write the Vision" is providing a roadmap for financial freedom that's accessible to everyone, not just the ultra-wealthy.
🔥 FIVE MONEY GEMS YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO MISS: 🔥
The Sinking Fund Revolution – The simple strategy that's helping everyday people fund vacations, handle emergencies, and break the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle for good!
Money: Tool, Not Trophy – Why the wealthiest people never worship money (and why this mental shift is your first step to financial freedom)
Vision Before Dollars – The counterintuitive approach that has Tremaine's clients achieving their dream lives with LESS money than they thought they needed
Escape Survival Mode – The subtle signs you're still in financial survival mode (even with a good income) and Tremaine's proven path to abundance thinking
Holiday Joy Without January Pain – The brilliant system that's helping families create meaningful celebrations without the financial hangover

The Corner Connection - Just Wait On GOD
In this episode, I'm opening up about a divine full-circle moment that happened in my career just yesterday – one that mirrors a testimony I saw on TikTok two years ago. Y'all, God works in ways that will leave you SPEECHLESS sometimes!
I break down my journey from feeling stifled at a previous job where leadership changes limited my autonomy, to making the difficult decision to leave, to unexpectedly finding an opportunity with a vendor after a simple congratulatory message. What followed was a path of challenges – including a promised promotion that became a lateral move – but by staying faithful and consistent, I eventually rose to a strategic position. And here's the kicker: my former company is now my client! The very people who once undervalued me now see my worth from the other side of the table.
This testimony isn't just about career transitions – it's about trusting God's timing, staying true to yourself, and understanding that sometimes you have to go through the valley to appreciate the mountaintop. If you've experienced similar full-circle moments in your life, I want to hear from you! Visit www.CousinEdsCorner.com and leave a voicemail sharing your story – because sometimes others need to know they're not alone in their struggle.
