A Spirit & Soul Sunday episode about forged peace, living proof, and Papa meeting you in the stillness.
In this Spirit & Soul Sunday, Shantel shares what happens when God tests the very word you just released — and instead of fear rising up, peace sits down beside you.
From Psalm 119:165 to the meaning of “martys,” from a loan denial that touched the future of Royalicious to a miracle that fed families in the middle of the pause, this episode is not theory — it is evidence.
If you are walking through delay, disappointment, unanswered questions, or a season where nothing is moving, this is your invitation back into Presence. Because peace isn’t found when everything works out. Peace is found when Papa meets you in the pause.
Scriptures referenced: Isaiah 6:6–7, Acts 1:8, Psalm 119:165, Romans 8:15, Galatians 4:6, John 14:27
In this Spirit & Soul Sunday teaching, Shantel breaks down what it really means to live “Jesus over everything” — not as a caption, but as a conviction.
If you’ve been running, panicking, carrying too much, or trying to control outcomes God never asked you to manage… this message will speak straight to your spirit.
We dig into:
• why we run when life gets uncomfortable
• how panic pulls us out of Presence
• what happens when we don’t ask Jesus first
• discernment vs. distraction
• the posture of kneeling
• suffering, refinement, and spiritual endurance
• how God uses fire to form witnesses, not victims
Shantel also shares a raw, real-time testimony about the mini cakes God used to test her obedience — a journey of flops, frustration, surrender, and breakthrough that mirrors the very message she teaches.
Made in the fire…
but tasting like softness.
Just like you.
If you’re in a refining season or learning how to trust God in the middle of the unknown, this episode will give you language, clarity, and peace for the path you’re on.
And if you want to try the luxury plant-based mini cakes mentioned in this episode — the ones born out of obedience and perseverance — you can pre-order them now on the Royalicious website.
Press play, breathe deep, and let this word realign your heart:
Jesus over everything — in your choices, your timing, your reactions, your relationships, your healing… and your becoming.
Glow Inside, Shine Outside — Episode: “It’s Okay to Not Be Okay — But It’s Never Okay to Not Be Authentic”
We talk a lot about being strong… but what about being real?
In this episode, Shantel gets honest about the cost of pretending and the freedom that comes when you stop performing peace and start pursuing truth.
Through raw storytelling, gentle wisdom, and her own recent moment of surrender on the floor of her unfinished store, Shantel invites you to release the need to “hold it together” and let God meet you where you actually are — not where you pretend to be.
If your soul feels tired, this one’s for you.
You’ll walk away reminded that:
✨ Healing starts with honesty.
✨ Peace doesn’t mean people-pleasing.
✨ Grace breathes where truth is welcome.
It’s okay to not be okay.
But it’s never okay to stop being authentic. 💗

Sometimes God sits you down to remind you: it’s not about the mic, it’s about the towel. In this episode, Shantel opens up about the weight of vision, the heartbreak of misalignment, and how resting in Jesus brought resurrection power in her own life.
What do you do when the person doesn’t respond the way you thought they would — and the silence feels like sorrow?
This episode goes beneath the surface of heartbreak and into the heart of Jesus, the Man of Sorrows. It’s about the press — the crushing that produces oil. The moments where your tears become intercession, your grief becomes love, and your breaking becomes the place His presence flows through.
Because intimacy with Jesus isn’t just peace.
It’s ache.
It’s pressing.
It’s oil.
It’s love you have never felt before, a Love that wont let go.
✨ REST: The Invitation Behind the Ache ✨
What if the ache you’re carrying isn’t punishment—it’s an invitation?
In this raw and soul-stirring episode, Shantel opens up about the headache that brought her to her knees—and how God used it to reveal the deeper meaning of rest. This isn’t about naps, vacations, or hustle culture breaks. It’s about crucifying the part of us that keeps striving in the flesh so His Spirit can finally breathe through us.
Through her own story, her grandmother’s testimony, and the words of Paul, Shantel reveals the beauty (and the pain) of dying to the flesh daily. You’ll hear how rest is less about where you are and more about how you surrender—and why the ache in your body, heart, or spirit might be the very place God is inviting you to lay it all down.
If you’ve been running on empty, hustling for worth, or mistaking exhaustion for holiness, this episode is your reminder: the ache is not the end of you—it’s the end of your flesh. The rest you’ve been searching for comes through surrender.
Have you ever come back from vacation more tired than when you left? That was me. What started as a headache turned into an invitation from God: stop striving and finally rest. In this episode, I share how three simple things — blueberry oatmeal, pineapple cucumber mint juice, and mineral water with pink Himalayan salt — became medicine for my body and a reset for my soul. This isn’t just about food; it’s about listening when your body is signaling you and recognizing that rest isn’t optional. It’s sacred.
Episode 12, Season 2 — Not Every Open Door Is Yours: How to Test the Spirit
Not every opportunity is from God. Some doors are divine assignments, but others are distractions dressed up as blessings. In this milestone episode — our 12th of Season 2 🙌 — Shantel gets real about learning to test the spirit behind every open door.
She shares a $25,000 lesson from saying yes to the wrong door, walks through a crash course on what fruit really is (and what it isn’t), and gives you a 7-step discernment checklist you can use in your own life.
If you’ve ever wondered:
How do I know if this door is for me?
What does it mean to test the spirit?
How do I grow in discernment?
…this episode will answer your questions, equip you with tools, and remind you that what God opens no man can shut (Revelation 3:7).
✨ Journal prompts included at the end.
✨ Plus, we celebrate 12 episodes of building this foundation together.
Sometimes your stomach says “I’m full,” but your body is still running on empty. In this week’s Royal Wellness Wednesday, we’re breaking down the difference between fueling your body and just filling your belly.
I’ll share the science behind your “crown signal” (the stretch sensor that tells your brain when you’re full), how processed foods like chips, ice cream, and fast-food biscuits can glitch that signal, and why real fuel comes from whole, nutrient-rich foods.
You’ll hear about the breakfast sandwich I built — plant-based, hearty, and energizing — compared to a drive-thru version that leaves your body craving more. Plus, I’ll give you three practical steps you can start today to shift from fill to fuel without overwhelm.
And because nourishment isn’t just food, we’ll also talk about rest, environment, and even a simple way to create your own “beach vibe” wherever you are.
🌊 Whether you’re sitting at your desk or listening on the go, this episode will help you rethink what’s on your plate — and what’s in your life.
Have you ever caught yourself stuck on repeat—same job, same conversations, same routines—and called it “comfort”? That’s the complacent zone. It feels safe, but it slowly robs you of growth, healing, and the bigger things waiting for you.
In this episode of Glow Inside, Shine Outside, Shantel shares how she broke free from the complacent zone in her own life, why settling keeps you stuck, and how even the smallest steps—like trying something new, deleting old patterns, or letting go of toxic circles—can open the door to transformation.
You’ll also hear a deeply personal story about moving past shame, reclaiming freedom, and learning to love the body you have.
This is your invitation to step out of autopilot and into possibility. Because when you glow inside, you shine outside. ✨
I wasn’t looking for peace the day it found me — but it showed up anyway, right in the middle of my mess. In this episode, I’m sharing how walls built to protect can end up keeping peace out, and how the fires of life can break open the hardest ground in our hearts. This isn’t about religion — it’s about the moment a real relationship begins, the kind that changes everything from the inside out.
You’ve been doing all the right things—drinking your green juice, using clean skincare, maybe even getting to bed at a decent hour… but your body still feels off. Foggy. Sluggish. Like it’s holding its breath.
This episode pulls back the curtain on the hidden stressors silently hijacking your energy—from outdated prescriptions and unmonitored medications to mineral depletion, toxic overload, and the lie that milk builds strong bones.
Inside, we break it all down:
Why your thyroid might be crying out for more than just a refill
What one Brazil nut a week can actually do
How to build stronger bones (without the dairy)
And the real reason your favorite candle might be messing with your hormones
✨ Plus, you’ll get our featured Royal Nectar wellness recipe, formulated to support your bones and give your skin that soft, healthy glow.
This isn’t just wellness talk—it’s a wake-up call.
Because pretending you’re fine isn’t healing. Listening is.
And your body’s been talking.
Let’s help you hear it.
Happiness feels good, but it never lasts. One phone call, one loss, one life change—and it’s gone. But joy? Joy can hold you steady even when everything else is falling apart. In this powerful episode of The Glow Inside, Shine Outside Podcast, we’re unpacking the difference between happiness and joy, why one is so fragile, and how to find the kind of lasting joy that carries you through life’s hardest seasons. We’ll go deeper than we ever have before, exploring how your spirit, soul, and body work together, and why true peace only comes when you’re living from the inside out. If you’ve been feeling drained, disconnected, or ready for a change, this is your invitation to pause, realign, and let joy take root. Tune in—and bring a notebook, because you’re going to want to sit with this one.
"How can I teach women to be set free when my own daughter won’t even take my hand?"
In this vulnerable episode of the Glow Inside, Shine Outside Podcast, Shantel gets honest about what it feels like to pour your heart into someone who just isn’t ready to receive it.
She shares why Royalicious has been quiet the last few weeks, the painful reality of “cushioning the fall” for someone you love, and the hard truth that we can’t change anyone but ourselves.
This episode is raw, real, and emotional—but it’s also a reminder that letting go is sometimes the most loving thing we can do.
👉 If you’ve ever felt like you’re running yourself into the ground trying to save someone else, this one’s for you.
Whether you’re just starting your healing journey or knee-deep in it—what’s touching your skin matters.
In this episode, we’re pulling back the sheet on cold process soap. From goat milk bars to “natural” fragrance, we expose the ingredients hiding behind clean labels—and what they’re really doing to your skin, your hormones, and your health.
Lye, fragrance, coconut oil, and even tallow? Oh yes, we’re going there. Backed by science we unpack how these “clean” bars might be disrupting your barrier, dehydrating your skin, and throwing your body off balance.
We share real testimonies, reveal how nutrients are destroyed during soapmaking, and talk about the moment that lit a fire under Shantel to create a bar that finally works with your body—not against it.

🎙️ Episode Title: No Funeral, But I Still Grieved
Some losses come without caskets.
No black dress. No casseroles. No one checking in weeks later.
Just silence—and the ache of a goodbye you never got to say.
In this deeply personal episode of The Glow Inside, Shine Outside, Shantel shares what it’s like to grieve the end of a marriage the way you’d grieve a death—because sometimes, it is.
Psychologists agree:
“When a major relationship or marriage ends, the person who was left may feel grief as painfully as someone who lost a loved one to death. Sometimes the pain can even be stronger.”
💔 Two divorces. Two different deaths.
💔 Grief that came without a funeral
💔 Healing steps for loss that no one acknowledges
💔 And how to make peace with a goodbye that never got closure
If you’ve ever mourned someone who’s still breathing…
this episode is for you.
🎧 Listen now and make space for the grief that never got a name—but still deserves to be felt.
She wasn’t talking to him.
But he heard it anyway.
This episode wasn’t about men—
but they showed up. Quietly.
And the message still found them.
After one of our reels went viral, the comment section turned into an altar.
Women wept. Confessed. Released years of pain they didn’t even know they were still carrying.
And then came another voice:
“What about our sons?”
“This message is for men too.”
And they were right.
So today, we honor the echo.
The one that healing makes when it’s real enough to ripple.
To the women—this space is still yours.
But if he heard it… maybe it was for him, too.
—
I almost didn’t record this one.
It felt too deep.
Too close.
Too much like a story I was still living parts of.
But as the words started to pour out, I realized—
this wasn’t just my story.
It was ours.
Every woman who's ever carried a chain she didn’t create…
And every daughter who’s had to decide what to do with it.
This episode? It’s about breaking patterns, grieving what hurt us, and choosing not to answer when the chain tries to knock again.
If it hits deep, let it.
You’re not beyond repair.
You’re not behind.
And your healing?
It’s the kind that starts within—so you can shine without.
Glow Inside. Shine Outside.
This one’s for the broken link in the bloodline.
This episode was supposed to go up this morning… but sometimes you just need a day.
A day to not make content.
A day to not be strong.
A day to not show up for anyone but you.
In this quiet, unfiltered episode, I talk about what it looks like to pause—without performing healing, without offering a breakthrough, without trying to glow. Just a moment of stillness, some pizza in bed, a hot tub soak, and the sacred choice to rest.
If today you didn’t get it all done... if all you did was breathe and bake and try again tomorrow...
You’re not failing. You’re healing.
And that’s enough.

Do You Like What You See in the Mirror?
In this episode, we’re not talking about foundation or filters.
We’re talking about the girl underneath.
The one who started hiding after a single comment…
The one who’s been carrying shame that didn’t start with her.
This is about her.
You’ll hear my story—but it might sound a little like yours too.
Because so many of us learned to cross our arms, shrink our glow, and measure our worth by a number.
But that ends here.
If this episode stirred something in you, there’s a next step.
A quiet invitation back to yourself.
It’s called Return to You.
Because you can’t heal what you’ve been hiding.
