“The only way you can redeem time from something that's been toxic is to not give it another moment. Yes, you can redeem your time, but you have to walk away in order to do that.” - Dr. Brianna K. Parker

Welcome to Stay a While with Tommi Vincent! Growth is a natural part of life, but that doesn’t make it easy. Throughout the journey, people come into our lives for seasons - some short, others long. So what do you do when it’s time to move beyond your current season, and leave some relationships in the past? How do you identify what relationships are serving you well, and which aren’t? Most importantly, how do you find the courage to separate when you’re not ready? Guest Brianna K. Parker takes her seat at the table to explore why we all should push past the fear and do what’s best for us.
