Activate Your Destiny

It starts with dinner. But it was never really about dinner.

If you are a mom who struggles to say what you want this episode is for you.

In this episode of the Activate Your Destiny podcast I share a real moment from my birthday where my husband asked me what I wanted and my response was almost always the answer that I thought either he needed, that my children needed, or that somebody else needed. It was very rarely the truth about what I actually wanted.

We talk about what Isaiah 54:2 says about the space you are allowed to take up. God said enlarge it, stretch it, do not hold back. And yet we keep shrinking and folding ourselves into whatever space is left.

We get into what boundaries actually are and why they show people how to love you. Making room does not just look like saying no. Your schedule should be built around what matters and everything else fits within that.

I also share a real story from a Mom School quarterly planning session where we went through one mom's full weekly schedule and found everything she was doing out of guilt that had nothing to do with what actually served her family.

The first thing we put aside is the only thing that directly impacts us. That ends today.

Have you ever had a moment where God asked you what you wanted and you just sat there? In this episode I share what happened when I sat down to write my vision and why so many called moms struggle to name what they actually desire. We talk about guilt, fear, finances, and why admiring what you want is not the same as pursuing it. Your assignment is waiting. Let's get activated.

If this episode is already speaking to something in you take 10 to 15 minutes tonight. Sit in silence away from every distraction. Write down what you want. Not a goal list. Not a vision board. What do you actually desire. Do not worry about how it will happen or what you can afford right now. Just write it down and take it before God. Let Him speak to you. Let Him highlight what He wants to do for you now. Write the vision and make it plain. Habakkuk 2:2.

New episodes every Wednesday.

This week’s episode is a special bonus message originally shared at the Healing Takes a Village Summit hosted by Aaliyah Burgess and The Very Intentional Mama.

In this message, I’m sharing why a mother’s healing impacts more than just her. It impacts her children, her relationships, her confidence, and the atmosphere of her home. When mom begins to heal, the whole family can begin to thrive.

We talk about identity, community, confidence, healing, and why you were never meant to carry everything alone.

If you’ve been in a season of reassessing, feeling stretched, or realizing something needs to shift, I pray this message encourages you.

This week on the Activate Your Destiny podcast, I’m sharing a very honest conversation about what happens when a mom realizes nothing is technically wrong… but she is not okay.

In this episode, I talk about the shift I’ve been feeling, learning to ask for help, reassessing self-care, releasing what I was carrying, and why acknowledging your needs is not failure, it’s wisdom.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, emotionally tired, or like God may be calling you to make some changes in this season, this episode is for you.

Topics in this episode include motherhood, identity, self-care, boundaries, emotional wellness, Christian encouragement, personal growth, and navigating life transitions as a mom.

In this episode, I sit down with Dae Hayes, podcast producer and host of the Mind Your Own Motherhood podcast, for a real conversation about what it looks like to obey God in the middle of motherhood.

Not when everything is calm.
Not when life makes sense.

But when you’re tired, stretched, and still responsible for everything at home.

We talk about:
• what obedience actually looks like as a mom
• the tension between calling and capacity
• leaving stability and trusting God anyway
• the long days and nights of building while raising kids
• and the reality that obedience doesn’t always feel like progress

This is not a polished conversation.
This is the middle.

If you’ve been trying to follow God but feel overwhelmed, uncertain, or stretched in every direction… this episode will meet you right where you are.

This episode will also air on the "Mind Your Own Motherhood" podcast hosted by Dae Hayes. Be sure to follow https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mind-your-own-motherhood/id1680381735 and support Dae as well!

At some point, doing it all on your own stops feeling strong… and starts feeling heavy.

In this episode of Activate Your Destiny, I’m sitting down with Aaliyah, one of our Mom School members, to talk about what her life actually looked like before support… and what shifted when she stopped trying to carry everything by herself.

Because self-reliance sounds good.

Until you’re overwhelmed.
Disconnected.
And quietly wondering why nothing feels like it’s working the way it should.

This conversation is honest, unscripted, and real.

We talk about:

What motherhood felt like before she had support
The pressure to hold everything together on your own
What shifted when she allowed herself to be seen and supported
How her mindset, routines, and confidence began to change
What Mom School actually looks like from the inside

This isn’t about doing more.

It’s about releasing the belief that you were ever meant to do this alone.

If you’ve been carrying everything and calling it strength… this episode will meet you right where you are.

Stop waiting for permission.

In this episode of Activate Your Destiny, I’m sharing what it really looked like to host my first Mom School Live event… not from a place of having everything figured out, but from choosing obedience when the numbers didn’t make sense.

Because the truth is… most of us aren’t lacking.

We’re overlooking what’s already in our hands.

From planning my daughter’s birthday on a budget to realizing I already had the tools, skills, and support I needed… God showed me how to stop waiting for more and start moving with what I already had.

This isn’t about doing more.
It’s about using what’s already been given to you.

In this episode, we talk about:

Obeying when the finances don’t line up
Using your current tools, skills, and resources
Trusting God with your capacity, timing, and outcomes
The difference between overdoing it (pride) and shrinking back (fear)
Why obedience is step by step… not all at once

If you’ve been waiting for the “right time,” more money, or clearer direction… this is your reminder:

God has already accounted for what you need.

Now it’s time to move.

This week on the Activate Your Destiny podcast, I’m sharing the story behind my Cornell University certification… and how close I came to missing it simply because I wasn’t in the mood.

In this final episode of the Wall of Evidence series, I take you into a season where I was already stretched as a mom, building something new, trying to figure out my identity, and honestly just tired. The last thing I felt like doing was showing up for something else.

But God had something waiting for me on the other side of that “I don’t feel like it” moment.

This isn’t just about an opportunity. It’s about obedience when it’s inconvenient. It’s about trusting God when you don’t feel ready, don’t have the capacity, and don’t fully understand what He’s doing.

As moms, we carry a lot. And sometimes the very thing God is calling us to will show up in the middle of an already full life.

If you’ve been feeling stretched, tired, or like you don’t have it in you to keep showing up… this episode is your reminder that your feelings don’t get the final say.

God will sustain what He calls.

This is the part nobody talks about… especially as a mom.

Everyone will tell you to trust God, take the leap, and walk in obedience.
But what happens when you actually do it… and everything gets more confusing?

At the time, I wasn’t just working a job.
I was a full-time working mom, a wife, building a business, managing daycare, sick days, schedules, and trying to be everything for everybody.

And even though I was doing everything right…

Something still felt off.

In this episode, I’m sharing the real story behind me leaving my job.

Not the highlight version.
The version where:
• I was juggling motherhood and still feeling like I wasn’t enough
• God started shifting me before I understood what He was doing
• I finally obeyed… and a better opportunity showed up at the same time
• And I had to choose obedience without clarity

If you’re a mom and you’ve been feeling:
Like something isn’t aligned
Like you’re doing everything but still feel off
Like you’re overwhelmed but can’t explain why

This episode is for you.

Because sometimes… it’s not burnout.

Sometimes God is trying to shift you…
and you don’t realize it until everything starts to feel uncomfortable.

There was a season of my life where I had three kids, I was homeschooling during a pandemic, I was a stay-at-home mom… and I still didn’t know who I was.

Somewhere along the way I had become who I thought I needed to be in order to be a good mom and a good wife. But Destiny still hadn’t been discovered.

In this episode of the Wall of Evidence series, I’m breaking down another frame behind me — my makeup certification — and the season where God began showing me that beauty alone wasn’t the answer.

Because the truth is:

You can put on the cutest outfit.
You can do your makeup perfectly.

But if your identity isn’t found… what is it really covering?

This episode is about the moment I realized I had to start pouring into myself again — not just on the outside, but on the inside too.

Sometimes rediscovering who you are begins with the smallest step of obedience.

And sometimes that step becomes another stone on your wall of evidence.
