Welcome back to another episode of A Little More Inspired.

In this episode, I’m beginning a new series inspired by the book Humility of Heart by Fr. Cajetan Mary da Bergamo. This spiritual classic was written in the 1700s, yet its wisdom remains deeply relevant for anyone seeking to grow and deepen their spiritual life today.

Many of the spiritual teachers I’ve learned from — and Jesus Himself — emphasize humility as the doorway to the soul and the foundation of true spiritual growth. As I continue exploring the seven mansions of the Interior Castle, I felt it was essential to also explore the virtue that makes progress along the spiritual path possible: humility.

We cannot truly understand humility without also examining its opposing vice — pride. Pride is what led even angels to fall from heaven, so it’s no surprise that overcoming pride becomes a lifelong spiritual struggle for each of us.

In this episode, I dive into what humility truly is, what pride really looks like (especially in its subtle forms), and why humility is essential for authentic spiritual development.

I hope you leave this episode feeling a little more inspired.

Welcome back to another episode of A Little More Inspired. In this episode, I’m diving into Part 2 — and the final installment — of my series on The Three Ordinary Voices of God, focusing on the voice of desire.

In this conversation, we go deeper into understanding the nature of our desires and how they fit into the hierarchy of a meaningful spiritual life. The world often seduces us — especially through our physical desires — to center our energy around comfort and pleasure. But if we take a closer look, we’ll notice that our desires tend to fall into four major categories: physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual — the desire beyond all desires, the door to the Interior Castle.

This isn’t about condemning desire, but about learning the proper order of it — so we can live a more peaceful, grounded, and fulfilling life. Too often, we ignore or completely shut the door to our spiritual life while letting other desires take the lead.

Join me as we explore why all desires must be funneled through the spiritual if we want to experience true wholeness.

Welcome back to A Little More Inspired! In this episode, I’m diving into the Third Ordinary Voice of God — the voice of desire. Desire is one of the most powerful forces shaping our lives — yet it’s also one of the most misunderstood.

We’re taught that desire is just an urge, a feeling we’re supposed to follow impulsively, with no discernment or wisdom. Most people will tell you, “Just follow your desires,” but not every desire is worth following. If we were meant to follow every urge and impulse, we wouldn’t be any different from animals. We’re conscious beings, and we’ve been given a conscience — an inner knowing of right and wrong.

Our mission is to learn to desire well, because the world will always try to lead us down the path of shallow desires that leave us feeling empty, scattered, and chasing external validation. Deeper desires lead us toward lasting fulfillment, peace, and joy. And eventually, as we become more focused on our deeper desires, we discover the desire beyond all desires — the yearning for God in our lives.

Welcome back to A Little More Inspired! ✨

The other day, I woke up at like 6 AM — before I even had to get ready for work — with this immediate urge to write. The words were spilling out of me like an itch I needed to scratch. I was almost late to work, and I even forgot my phone, but I couldn’t help it… I just needed to get every word out. I love those creative pings.

Sometimes I feel this shadow hovering over me , this fear I can’t quite shake off. I’ve felt misunderstood my entire life, and over time, that starts to erode you from the inside. There’s a bitterness that simmers in the heart, an anger that rises when you think about how unfairly you’ve been treated. You keep hoping you’ll find meaning in it all… that if you can just understand the why, you’ll finally be able to let it go.

But sometimes…
there is no why — only acceptance.

This piece is an overview of my journey of overcoming the wound of rejection and the wound of being misunderstood. I always tell people: healing is a slow process. Sometimes you have to go through things, and you have to be open to the lessons those experiences bring, for it to finally get through your big hard head what truly matters.

God has given me a new confidence. He’s sealed my healing by showing me true love and by healing the unworthiness the world so desperately wanted to keep me in.

This piece is just a personal reflection. Writing is where I release my anger, my feelings, my clarity. So how I feel about this today might feel different tomorrow. I’m not stuck — I’m just allowing truth to move through me.

It is a bit long, so I hope you leave feeling a little more inspired. 💛

Welcome back to A Little More Inspired! ✨

On this episode, I’m reading a personal piece I recently wrote, reflecting on my moments of clarity while on a trip to Mexico. It’s been about a year since I published my first blog post and shared my work with the world. So much has happened in this year of growth and creative exploration.

Posting my content hasn’t always been easy — I share a lot about myself and continue to trust that my creative pings have a purpose, rather than just being words released into the void of the internet. This journey began after a creative breakup — and it’s taken courage to keep showing up, to share myself without shame, and to measure progress by the change within me rather than the attention my posts receive.

If I measure my growth by validation, I’ll always be disappointed. My time in adoration this past year has guided me into moments of deep clarity — teaching me to simply sit with God and let Him change me. Even though life isn’t perfect, I’ve learned to find joy in the everyday moments.

My trip to Mexico helped me see how my priorities have shifted — aligning more with what’s truly good for me, rather than what the world deems impressive. I hope you enjoy this reflection. It’s a little long, but I pray it leaves you feeling a little more inspired. 💛

Welcome back to A Little More Inspired! ✨
In this episode, I open up about my journey with vulnerability and the spiritual lessons that have shaped me. From childhood memories to adult reflections, I share what healing has looked like for me — the unlearning, the self-awareness, and the beauty of becoming more grounded in who I truly am.

I talk about intimacy — the kind that requires honesty, patience, and courage. I reflect on how childhood patterns influenced the way I related to love, connection, and emotional safety, and how choosing to heal has transformed the kind of love I’m open to now.

I share the fears I’ve confronted, the clarity God has shown me, and the ways I’ve learned to stand in my worth even when it felt uncomfortable.

This episode is an invitation to pause and reflect alongside me if you feel called to — to honor your own growth, to give yourself grace, and to remember that healing doesn’t have to be perfect to be meaningful. God meets us in the quiet, tender spaces where we choose truth over fear and alignment over chaos.

Welcome back to A Little More Inspired! ✨
In this episode, we explore the second ordinary voice of God — the Voice of Talents. Every person is created with unique gifts meant to guide their mission and bring joy, purpose, and meaning to their life.

We’ll talk about how to recognize your God-given genius, the difference between universal and unique talents, and how comparison and pride can pull us off our path. If you’ve ever questioned whether you have a special gift, this episode will remind you — you do.

I hope this conversation leaves you encouraged, grounded, and a little more inspired. 🤍✨

Welcome back to A Little More Inspired ! In this episode, I’m diving into the Second Ordinary Voice of God — the Voice of Talents.

Many of us grow up thinking only a few people are truly gifted, and if our lives don’t look extraordinary, we assume we aren’t either. But every person is born with unique, God-given talents that are connected to their purpose and mission in this life.

The real question is: What is your one thing?

Your genius isn’t about fame or achievement — it’s about discovering who you are, why you’re here, and using your gifts in a way that brings joy and peace to your soul. Two signs you’ve found it? Joy, and a feeling of timelessness when you’re doing it.

I recorded this episode with so much joy, and I hope it inspires you to discover and celebrate the genius within you. 💛

Welcome back to a new episode of A Little More Inspired. I’m so excited to continue my series on T⁠he Three Ordinary Voices of God by Matthew Kelly⁠. In Part 2, we’re diving deeper into the first ordinary voice: the Voice of Needs. In this episode, I explore what aren’t real needs, and unpack the Happiness Paradox—why getting what we want often doesn’t truly satisfy.

I’ll walk through some of the biggest myth-busters about needs versus wants. Needs sustain life and keep us grounded—physically, emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually. Wants can be good, but when they take the driver’s seat, they often distract us, enslave us, or even lead us to compromise our values.

As Matthew Kelly reminds us, listening to our needs builds wisdom and freedom. But chasing wants without discernment often leaves us dissatisfied and restless.

As always, my hope is that this episode leaves you thinking, reflecting, and feeling a little more inspired.

Hi friends, and welcome back to A Little More Inspired.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing a reflection I wrote called A Call to Personal Responsibility: Seeking Truth in the Midst of Chaos. It’s about what it really means to live our faith in a time when so many voices are loud, misleading, or even filled with hate.

I talk about performative Christianity, the danger of following leaders who twist God’s name for power, and why true faith is not about feelings or appearances, but about action, humility, and seeking God for ourselves.

This one is passionate and maybe a little uncomfortable, but my hope is that it inspires you to turn inward, to build your own relationship with God, and to take responsibility for how you live your faith in the world. So I hope you enjoy this reflection and that you leave feeling a little more inspired.
