"Sometimes when you are in a dark place you feel buried but you are actually planted".... wow... this resonated with me so much. Being in the valley sometimes test your strength and faith.

[@nishliburd8449]

I watched this on 25/3/2023. The 2nd birthday of my son who died at birth which was my deepest valley, 1 i didnt know i could climb out of. This made me tear up. I never ever comment on videos and i have been an mtm and tte fan since the birth of them and i had to break my silence for this one. It was a podcast/blog i didnt know i needed to hear, im so grateful for your videos thank you. Its the only time i feel peace and inspired.

[@SeenAndHeardTamiAndTessanne]

We love you and we are sending so much love and light your way 🤗

[@haylesfamily8532]

If I had a sister I wish we had the same warm relationship as you two. Always have a smile when watching MTM and now while watching you two. God bless. ❤

[@leewlk6515]

Yeah.... My two beautiful humble souls....always such a pleasure... Loving this.... It only gets better every time.... ❤️🇯🇲

[@lornamoore9222]

Ohhh thank you Holy Spirit for talking to me through these two beautiful and wonderful women! I AM GRATEFUL FOR TAMI AND TESSI!!!

[@nikeshagreen1935]

Yes inspiring the valley can be so deep I'm in one now trying to face it head on listening to you guys let me know it will be ok just got to be strong.

[@HangoutwithSimone]

Giving yourself grace. One of the nicest things we can do for ourselves

[@afimiown4294]

I’ve always been silent in my valleys and I usually function well but there was one time that choosing to be silent and alone drove me to a dark place. Lord knows it’s felt good to see the light again but it was not easy.

[@caroles3425]

Hi Ladies and Tacklers. I see valleys as rest stops and times in your life that you are required to make a shift for growth and / or to escape the past of pain or bondage. Biblically, they call it the wilderness after the Hebrews had to escape Egypt. Regardless, we need to be realistic. How can we live always perform at the highest level, always elevating and pushing harder. Not even a piece of machinery can do that. Not to mention that we are surrounded by others who aren't cycling at the same rate as we are either. It simply requires us to have grace for ourselves, and most likely, that's when we lean on God to receive His grace, lessons, and blueprints for the movements ahead. We di need to be broken in order for God to put us back in the way He meant for us to be. Worldly success, oftentimes, does not mean that spiritually, we are in the peaceful rightful place we were meant to be. So by His mercy, that's when He can finally get our attention. Love you all.

[@cocoblax]

Love seeing these lovely beauties...my Saturdays are complete now.... thanks 🎉❤

[@85amil]

One thing about Tess she gonna laugh and ima laugh with her. It just lifts your spirt, mood and just overall vibe. Laugh as much as you can because when you’re in the struggle it real and not funny!!

[@srrfounder1]

Being Japanese, and a devout SHINTO Buddhist, I appreciate you honouring our values and traditions, Tami. Broken-ness is NOT a sign of weakness, it is simply a VARIATION of our STRENGTH. ~Mikio ☺️✌️💚

[@samperkins7523]

Thank you Tami & Tessi, I really enjoyed your words of encouragement today. Blessings to you both 🙏🏽❤️❤️😊

[@tammyj4369]

Iyanla Vanzant has a book called the "Value in the Valley"...it helped gain perspective and understand that the valley is a place of learning, growing and preparation for climbing the mountain.

[@NixMackx]

I am so glad you shared the dictionary meaning of the word valley. A stream runs through the valley. Maybe our visits to the valley is just so that we can take time to be watered. Sometimes we need those Valley moments because we need what we get in the valley to manage the next climb ahead. So be like the wise virgins and fill your vessels with what you need to keep you on the next leg of the journey.

[@SeenAndHeardTamiAndTessanne]

Amen and amen!!!! May we be watered in the valley!!!

[@kacireid8780]

I look forward to this pod every weekend!! So excited to listen!

[@ChozenbytheAlmighty]

Sometimes in the valley you can feel like what is the point of telling ppl if they can't help so you end up feeling alone and forgotten.

[@Joward8]

Timely topic! Gratitude and grace brought me through my lowest valley a couple of years ago. This perspective is useful for me not only to look back and appreciate what my valley was, but to sit with those closest to me as they survive theirs.

[@crystalxyz3286]

Hello Sisters, I'm a bit late but got here after a sisters day out myself, talking about our valleys . Just realised how calming your voices are, can listen to you for hours . Love this topic, truly believe in this part of our journey, acceptance make things so much easier, less stressful. Always nice sitting down and just listening and nodding in agreement in the sweet moments. ❤ God Bless ye all. 🤗💞 This was so profound, touches so many buttons, teary eyed with gratitude for His Grace.

[@judythomas-king324]

“When I’m low in the valley I cry Lord lift me up, cause I want to go higher in thee. For nothing, grows high on a mountain. So he picked out a valley for me” This is part of a song 🎶 I love to listen to and sing when I am in my valley. It help to reground me, and as you ladies have said let me know I’m just passing through the valley. Thank you ladies for having this discussion. As so many of us are feeling low and sad. it’s good to be reminded this time will not last forever. 🙏🏾😍💯🤲🏾

Wow ....ladies love love this episode .....I have been through my valley .....lost 2 houses from previous relationship ....still going through my valley ...but I never let go of God's unchanging hand .... Thank you sooooo much 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

[@lolitarogers9324]

Great topic...Tami and Tessi, I absolutely respect you guys. Whenever, I'm in the valley I continue to thank God for life, I ask him "God, let this past quickly ", I know I've to go through the valley and I ask for the strength and courage but I accept that it's necessary for me to go through it. Stay blessed girls.

[@prudencegowdie9655]

Watching the two of u just let me feel so inspired. Most things u touched on I can identify with. I am really down in the valley now. U r so real! Continuous blessings always.

[@Krystal_fr_Jamaica]

The valley is where God restores our souls. Psalm 23 🙏

[@karenhamilton3180]

The dynamic duo is back at it again. Let’s go tackle suppen 💕

[@georgiaplummer8029]

Love you guys 💕🙏you where talking to me ❤ thank you blessing always 👍

[@anmareesworkshop]

Dear Tesi and Tammi, I have been reveling in the valley. I have been a disciple of enjoying the day to day beauty that surrounds me. In the past my butt would be clenched for the next calamity or drama. Currently, I am rolling in the sweet grass and feeling the sun on my face. It’s a great way to truly live.❤❤❤

[@DJLioness]

“What if I’m just surviving in the moment?” Whew… I feel seen… and heard! ❤

[@Virgingirl607]

I wish my 3 girls to grow and live like you 3 sisters

[@nnsawyers9212]

Lord Jesus Tes , this is one of dem ones when you should have bus a prayer before you started. Because dem Valley that we have to stay in for whatever period of time only some good prayer make we climb out.

[@earthstrong_nat]

Love the topic Love the conversation Love the energy Best half hour of my day!!!

[@beverleycampbell4334]

I am here for you 2 daughter of your mom and dad. I am praying for your family's. Your baby's are so beautiful and your sons ❤. Lady's you have to best husband's keep sweet. Be blessed

[@Karen-dk8pl]

This episode resonated with me so much, I was crying down the place man..l was feeling like the valley i was in was getting wider and it brought on the depression of thf loss of my sister who lived in Jamaica who passed on and May 7 would be 3 years..she was my confidante and i miss her so much because week spoke every week..and now i feel empty sometimes because i dont have anyone to talk to now..she passed during covid and her ashes are still in Jamaica and i have not seen my nephew either since, she had 1son. I understood Tami when you said about not praying anymore if God is hearing...and yes Tessi it feels barren...love that quote "sometimes when youre in dark place you feel buried but you are actually planted" sometimes youre out of the valley or so you think and then you just slip back into it. And ppl think you just mopeing around. But as Tessi said i dont need ppl to understand me i think in the valley is about me and God

[@moniquetulloch5091]

Currently in the valley. I'm finding it hard to let people in. Not that I don't feel I have anyone I can talk to just that my energy is on zero and communication feels draining. praying for the strength 🙏 to get by

[@dorrettdixon4990]

Sometimes in the valley, you just need to trust the process and see what God has in store for you

[@kimopple]

I'm currently in my valley and I feel like it's been so long but listening to this video makes me feel so inspired. We tend to look at the valley in a disgust way, but the valley is that moment of preparation and grooming and the valley allow us to honor our mountain top experience and keep us humble. The valley can so be for our protection. We should really look at the valley in a better light. I could listen to you guys for hours. PLEASE KEEP IT UP

[@Rose-vv5ok]

Thanks for this message ! It’s my life for years , as my husband has had health issues. Without God I would not be here today! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@franx1323]

Hey Tacklers! Looking forward to when this is on a podcast/audio platform.

[@dplm2936]

Grace is like finding air after you have suffocated. My God what a word!!!

[@tamarashim9906]

A valley is a testing ground to purify you and make you stronger brings you closer to God.

[@joytrought939]

Yes the valley can b very deep and dark

[@serikaclarke1116]

Happy Saturday everyone Welcome back to Tami and Tessi tackle everything. Aww this topic fill my soul so much I can always remember when I am in my valley I honor my valleys I plant while I was in my valley. And I started to bloom. That's why I honor my valleys so much ❤❤

[@shantelallen7223]

I'm just over here finding it hard to not laugh everytime Tessy burst out laughing. So calming listening to both ladies it feels like y'all were talking about what life is for me. Plus these quotes I definitely will take along with me forever. Thank you 🙏

[@milli6415]

Yeah Tammi...."Not a destination" ...just "A Train Station" waiting to move on...thanks for that one!!

[@flaviabrown4467]

Absolutely wholesome awesome convo..I am honouring my scars because through it I now see situations and the world through different lenses."Growth." I've always thought that in every situation there are lessons to be learnt (all this was reinforced) and everything happens for a reason.I've grown and yes I realised how very strong I truly am. In my pain and anguish I accepted more how authentically, fearfully and wonderfully made I was.I accept I needed it to get from one point to another.And yes giving myself space and room "grace" because it's okay. I now encourage others to do so, to give thanks and be grateful always because yes my valley moments would have impacted them and are also learning lessons for them..Thinking pleasant,positive,happy thoughts and working my faith.🙏✌🏽♥️

[@ladysgotyou2020]

Lynda Randall's hymn ''The God of the mountain'' is always a theme song for this topic. A church anthem for the fall in faith.

[@bever-leighwisdom5157]

Thank you ladies for creating this space. Great conversation. I look forward to your Saturday conversation. The valley is definitely apart of the process. We have to acknowledge that we are in it, take notes, pray and muster up the strength to push through. It’s definitely brighter on the other side❤ Tami, didn’t know you had an ebook. Great read. Promote it more 😉

[@franx1323]

Beauty in the brokenness ❤ Reminds me of 2 Corinthians 12:9

[@pamelawalsh1837]

This is so therapeutic. Being in the valley allows me to appreciate the mountains. I learn that not everything I can fix because not everything meant for us to fix but to walk through and take from it. I absolutely love you guys and you two together is heaven 😃🤗. Thank you, thank you and you 🤗. Much love and blessings 🙏❤️.

[@gabrielburton7242]

TAM & TES/ TAMI & TESI tackles everything 🥰

[@ingareid8680]

Happy Saturday Tacklers. Two beautiful souls❤ Pretty in pink. I love whenever you ladies are together. This was a great/powerful one.

[@leesharose03]

Come 👏🏾on 👏🏾Tess👏🏾with👏🏾the👏🏾Quotes!! They were on point today👏🏾 I found just gems to take away from this episode: I am definitely like that man Tess talked about being just “in the middle” but I do want to step out of my comfort zone, I am a little nervous about being my own boss and the success of it. I have always had a job working for a company or someone but stepping out on my own is something I have always wanted to do after this episode it’s made me look at being my own boss more exciting and Now I know I need to step out of my comfort zone and step out on Faith and just Do it, thank you ladies one again for your wisdom ❤

[@godbless4608]

Beautiful sisters ❤

[@sashiekabuckley7362]

No matter how serious you are ,when tessane laugh u got tosmile

[@tammyburke2710]

I love you two beautiful women. I’m a 61 year old woman and my valley has come and go for many years. It really began for me many years ago when I was diagnosed with paranoid bipolar manic depression. I have dealt with it for a long time and my health has gone down for years and for the last 15 years my daughter has taken care of me and she is a true blessing in my life. It’s so hard dealing with it. You two are precious to me. Thank you for your time and your sweet words. I’m blessed and loved by god he always has my back and he will always be there for me. I’m looking forward to hear more from you two.

[@familyyoutube4645]

At times I find myself in the valleys of life. Today I could hope again after listening to your program. I am so thankful.

[@francianafrancise3295]

Wow wow wow I appreciate this topic so much. Thank you for being open, real and relatable.

[@kerenbaker6388]

Words can't express how I just love you guys and the topics you share ❤

[@shammys3615]

I laughed so hard😂, then I was crying😢! Omg! Love it.

[@goldenthoughtsoftheheart3482]

God bless you both. This segment is so good! OMG! I know the valley well but "in the valley, Jesus restores my soul". It has never been an easy spot but I have gained so much strength and personal encounters there. I have cried, I have been saddened but I have grown. In the valley, I have met God! I have been processed. I have been developed, and empowered. All in all, though I have never always liked it but I have learned to be thankful because it has always been for my good and God's glory.

[@itsallinhistime....beencou3369]

One thing though, when that season is over we are so much more stronger, knowledgeable and able to help others in their valley season. I appreciate you guys with real.. God bless you

[@SeenAndHeardTamiAndTessanne]

YESSSS!!! That’s exactly right!!!!

[@joylinb2928]

Ladies, this resonates to me. I had to watch it again. I learned to let go of things I have no control of and as parent that my children have to learn from their mistakes icant always protect them.Thank you ❤❤

[@sdackrdg]

I love you both so much. You guys remind me of my little sister and myself. You guys are my therapist. I am so happy you are doing it again because I love when it was see and heard. I lost my husband back then, he went to sleep and never woke up, and you guys brought me a little joy to my world of darks back then. Love always. On another note I am a silent cousin to the Mitchells from day one..

[@steppingoutontheword7876]

There is more room in a broken heart

[@iam_trinikimmy]

I feel like I've been a a valley environment for most of my life sighs. Love from T&T!

[@sandradixon8446]

Great to be grateful sometimes I forget to be grateful…. Look for the good that is already existing in your life

[@juniormurray9820]

Ladies, this session has touched a nerve. It is as if it is an X-Ray and an articulation of my thoughts and feelings being in a valley for over 2 years. Yes, Tami - the silence from heaven in response to prayer can be deafeningly thick. Yes, Tessi - journalling helps to track the journey. Dis ah big people stuff!!! Tank you both!!!

[@lornamoore9222]

I am so thankful to see you both at this time. I saw and was drawn to the title before I even saw it was you both. (I didn’t get my notification) Been going through a couple valleys and today is a challenge and am in tears right now. So needless to say I am really needing this. God bless you both. Thank you so very much.

[@iamwinningrightnow]

You 2 are a great team! Keep it up...

[@leewlk6515]

Yes yes yes...... Wow.... Wonderfully gracefully put together by two beautiful blessed souls.... ❤🇯🇲 Love and blessings.... Looking for to the next Tami and Tesse tackles everything 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@sharoncarruthers2102]

I like that. Don't despise weakness. Practice grace.

[@bevblanchardholt6518]

On point topic today Tami and Tessie! I needed to be reminded to read Honour The Valley again. I am in the midst of a deep valley and this valley is familiar in some places but new in other places but I have NOT been honouring this valley and I need to. So thank you! ❤️

[@jamilagordon7888]

This was needed. God gives grace to the humble and I see why you both emanate so much of His Grace! May you and your houses be eternally blessed. It is in our weakest moments that Christ has the opportunity to be our strength. It is in our darkest fears that God will shine bright with His truth. Valleys make us stronger and more resolved in knowing why we were created. They are our biggest blessings in life especially when they come in really ugly packages. I know I am late in commenting but Thanks for this space.❤

[@pathall9757]

What an interesting conversation , 2 years plus ago, I was in a very dark place , and one of the quotes you use ,about you never know how strong you are ,until being strong is your only choice, sigh, that was me ,but trusting God and time, I'm ok..I love this with both of you it's a vibe, when Tessi ready to laugh,love it ❤❤❤❤

[@paulachambers5822]

This is beautiful, an insightful topic. I am going through a valley, by God's grace am trying to embrace it. And ,thanks so much. By God's grace I will press on . Thanks so much ladies

[@laavery2348]

Great topic and conversation...real honest talk...thank you for sharing!

[@garesiagar-don1983]

I am going to love love these sister vlogs

[@SoMeBySymone]

"All great changes are proceeded by chaos" is so in line with gold going throw the fire, it just makes it more beautiful and refined, or even out of chaos comes order. Love the delivery of this video.

[@sutanyaallen6265]

I can testify to be in a deep valley but with God’s help I have made it. Thanks so much for the precious gems. Keep on motivating others. ❤

[@im2contagious]

In the words of Ne-Yo, "I'm a movement by myself, but I'm a force when we're together!" Watching these last 2 podcasts with you both, that was all going through my head... how good you both are together! These podcasts are GEMS; this one resonated with me so much as I feel like the last year I have been stuck in a valley. I needed to hear this and I am going to buy a journal today! Thank you both so much for sharing with us, I have been saving each and every quote! ❤❤❤❤

[@mbssu6130]

Ladies, I cant commend you enough for this podcast. You have hit so many fruitful topics, ideas, emotions and resolutions to situations when you feel like you are in it alone. Thank you so much. If you doubted this project, let this be confirmation that you and this podcast are a blessing to me. Keep up the phenomenal work.

[@mariespence9965]

This comment section is so reaffirming and reassuring❤️

[@shap2547]

I want to say your topic for today. I felt it was all just for me, I thank the both of you, keep moving. forward

[@mariavassell5325]

I'm down In the valley as I'm watching you guys now thank you 😢😢😢

[@MsDivaOneLuv812]

This was such a blessing on so many levels. I laughed, I cried, I (mentally) reconciled with myself and others. I hope and pray for your continued success.

[@barbaradwyer2106]

This podcast is for me. Of lately I have been feeling so broken. Thank you so much.

[@KeshaGeorge]

18 minutes since posting and I am so happy to be joining in. Looking forward to listening.

[@BernadineBowen]

you both should be doing audio books, voices so calming

[@jcam5779]

Several points were very applicable, I kept happening and I keep wondering why… I guess I still need to learn something 🙏🏾

[@chrismurdoch9042]

Lawd Jeezum! The valley is a challenging space of discovery - self, love & growth. Such a needed topic. Thanks!

[@roxyellis6396]

I really enjoy this conversation especially about Grace. I tell my client that Grace is act of acknowledging each other’s humanity.

[@afimiown4294]

Absolutely agree with Tess, Tami’s book is fire!!!! Check the description box for the link

[@pernelreid6362]

Happy Saturday to two beautiful lovely Sister you both lift me up❤❤

[@He-is-Able]

Ladies you are both a true blessing to this forum. This topic is so necessary for all. Remember God says we will go thru a valley and He promises us to be with us through all our valleys. We have to give our selves Grace and allow God to remove all our fears and doubts. But He will find us because He promises to never leave us no matter what. “ GRACE “ is Gods empowering presence that enables us to have, be, and do what He wants us to do. His unmerited Favor freely given to us. Btw Tammie just read your description and you mention it’s been 23 yrs doing your Vlog. Is that I typo.❤ you both are making a difference to all. Just download the book. Thanks.

[@onitasamuel-warner7296]

Wow between 1:30-1:35 peep Tess facial gesture...Ivy look like Tess here

[@aliciablandin606]

I've never commented before, but guys this is totally deserving. I can't be silent anymore. This was amazing!!! Having been through soooo many valleys. Hats of to you both and may God continue to bless you.

[@lorrainepusey292]

Grace is all about the love, goodness of God

[@shammys3615]

Wow! If Tess say amen again I'm going to church🤣! Love you guys! Valley for me is a good place sometimes especially if you learn and ride out of the valley. Victory at the end!

[@lindabrown8251]

It is good to see you both .It is a blessing❤❤ success

[@alene6579]

Thank you both for lifting me up.

[@JBH-kush]

Never thought I'd be learning what I'm learning watching these podcasts. Very grateful to have listened to the one about Radical Acceptance and I'm proper hooked!!!

[@nesh4u189]

Can I be your adopted sister please...????I love the peace and comfort you guys fill our hearts with ❤ encouragement and moral support in our own individual lives...giving us that voice and space to relate and elaborate, a place to think out the box or even being okay in the box sometimes😊 on behalf of us all THANK YOU CHIN SISTERS!!!
