Hi Friend! Welcome back to another episode of A Little More Inspired!

In this episode, I am reflecting on my personal journey with Christian faith. I feel there are a lot of voices nowadays that can cause us to feel ashamed of our faith, or maybe we’ve stepped away and are rediscovering what our faith means to us. This is my story and a reflection on my lived experience of the ups and downs of my personal faith.

There are so many people who use faith for division and cruelty. I simply want to offer my voice as another perspective. I share carefully because I never want to influence anyone in a negative way. My encouragement is always to look within and to seek a personal relationship with God—not with me.

At the end of the day, I’m just a creative who seeks to fulfill the desire to create and to inspire. So I hope you enjoy this reflection and that you leave feeling a little more inspired.

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. After receiving such positive feedback on the first episode, I wanted to go deeper and break down each of the voices one by one.

If you missed it, check out the first episode where I introduce the overall concept of listening to our intuition. [Click here to listen!]

In this Part 1 episode, we explore God’s first foundational Voice of Needs. Our needs are constantly speaking to us, nudging us toward balance, growth, and a deeper connection with God. I’ll walk you through the four human needs: physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual, and share how even our everyday hungers can be a way of hearing God’s voice guiding you.

I also share my own journey of recognizing my needs, the ups, the downs, and the moments of clarity along the way. I’m learning right alongside you, walking this path of self-discovery together.

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

Hi Friend! Welcome back to another episode of A Little More Inspired! This episode is basically me ranting about turning 34, realizing how fast youth passes, and why I’m done pretending for anyone. I talk about my grandma’s saying, “Juventud y pelo negro pronto pasa” (youth and black hair soon pass), what it really means to me now, and how I’ve learned to focus on inner beauty, real connections, and being unapologetically myself—even if it annoys people. It’s raw, it’s honest, and maybe a little messy, but that’s exactly where I’m at right now.

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

Hi Friend! Welcome back to another episode of A Little More Inspired!

This is Part 2 of my conversation with my beautiful friend Sandra Tindle—and in this episode, we’re diving into a topic that’s personal, complex, and honestly… long overdue: religion and its growing influence on American life.

Sandra and I both grew up in deeply religious households, and those early experiences shaped so much of how we saw ourselves, the world, and even what we believed about God, morality, and identity. But as we’ve grown older, both of us have taken intentional steps to re-examine what we were taught, ask hard questions, and form our own beliefs—something we don’t often see encouraged in many modern Christian spaces.

We talk about the patterns we’ve noticed, how hyper-religious views can influence political opinions, create division, and sometimes even distract from the heart of faith itself. But we also speak from a place of compassion and curiosity. This isn’t a debate; it’s a reflection between two women who are still learning, still unlearning, and still holding space for spirituality in a rapidly shifting world.

If you haven’t listened to Part 1 yet, definitely check it out to hear more about Sandra’s inspiring journey as an educator.

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

Hi Friend!
Welcome back to a new episode of A Little More Inspired.

Today kicks off a special 2-episode series featuring my dear friend Sandra Tindle. We dive into a heartfelt girl chat about the impact of technology on children, what it’s like to raise (or even consider having) kids in today’s world, and how society is shifting around us.

Sandra is a dedicated educator with over eleven years of teaching experience. She earned her bachelor’s degree from Moody Bible Institute in Chicago and her master’s in English Language Learning from Western Governors University. She currently teaches English as a Second Language in Silver Spring, MD.

Sandra and I first met after I moved back home—we actually connected on Bumble BFF while both looking to build new friendships in the city. What started as a simple meetup turned into a genuine and unexpected friendship. I always love our deep conversations, especially when we talk about her experience as a teacher and how today’s world is shaping the next generation.

Hi everyone! Welcome back to a new episode of A Little More Inspired.
In today’s episode, I’ll be exploring the spiritual wounds of envy and jealousy.

They say that by envy and jealousy, death entered the world.
When the prince of the earth, once a bearer of light, the most beautiful angel, learned of God’s plan to create fragile beings, humans. That He would one day become one of us and die for His love for us.
That angel was overcome with envy.

“How could God create beings so unworthy? How could He love them more than me?”
He refused to serve, believing we humans were beneath him, mere peasants.
So, his pride cast him down to the earth, where he now roams, trying to corrupt our hearts through the very same vice that corrupted his: envy.

We live in a time where ego floods everything.
Everyone is trying to prove they’re smarter, richer, prettier, more powerful, and in that illusion, we lose ourselves. Turning our souls into battlegrounds in the race for superiority.

But this is all false.
God’s love is unconditional—far beyond our understanding.
Waking up from the illusion of envy and jealousy is essential for spiritual growth.
Finding humility, and constantly working to resist the temptation to fall back into ignorance, is how we evolve.

Join me as I share my personal journey with unpacking my wounds around envy and jealousy, and how it’s shaped my life. Because in this world, we have to develop a strong sense of self to make it through in one piece.

We live in a society that will try to strip you of your light if you’re naïve or unaware of your value. Learning to recognize envy and jealousy—both in ourselves and in others—is how we protect our spirit and stay in the game of life without losing our morals or integrity.

I hope you enjoy this episode of A Little More Inspired.

Welcome to a new episode of A Little More Inspired.

Over the past couple of months, I’ve fallen in love with a 16th-century Spanish Christian writer, poet, mystic, and Carmelite nun—St. Teresa of Avila. I discovered her and her teachings during a time of deep transition, not just in my worldly life, but spiritually as well.

She entered my life as if to answer the questions and inner turmoil I hadn’t yet been able to name. Her divine wisdom and writings have profoundly moved me and helped me take the next steps in my spiritual journey. Her poem "Nada te turbe" (Let nothing disturb you) and her spiritual masterpiece The Interior Castle have brought me comfort and confirmation that the path I’ve been walking these past few years is real, and deeply meaningful.

Because I create from a place of learning and inspiration, I’ve decided to turn The Interior Castle into a mini-series—breaking down the soul’s journey toward union with Divine Consciousness.

In this episode, I’ll be diving into the early struggles of a wandering soul, before it even senses the light of something greater. I’ll also share a brief reflection on why the first three mansions are often described as a kind of spiritual purgatory—a space I believe many of us dwell in during our lifetimes.

I hope you enjoy learning about St. Teresa of Avila as much as I have. Whether you’re just beginning your spiritual journey or have been walking this path for years, her wisdom has something beautiful to offer us all.

....

I’ve also listed below all the books mentioned in today’s episode. I hope you leave feeling a little more inspired.
