Are you feeling like you need to prove yourself? Are there idols or social currency you're chasing to feel better about yourself? This episode unpacks a word of encouragement I felt God put on my heart for you around worthiness and striving. We are not designed to strive for perfection or resign from effort. The balance in between those two polarities is where you find true confidence.

When someone hurts you, you expect an apology...in order to forgive them. That's how we grew up viewing forgiveness...but when we don't get the apology we want - our hearts get hard and turn bitter very easily. I'm sharing my experience with not wanting to forgive my abusive ex and how God worked in my heart to show me that forgiving him was about my own freedom...not his.

Feeling rejected by a brother in Christ? Confident women learn how to wish them well, without feeling hurt by them not being interested in you. Also hear me freak out over discovering a new podcast review lol.

How do you shift to seeing your body as a work of art? You make art with it. I wanted to create an experience for my body where I truly felt like art, so I booked a boudoir photoshoot for myself. On this episode, I'm sharing my thoughts and takeaways, things I learned, and why I think everyone should do this.

God's forgiveness is about God's love for you, not about how much you sin. You can send your questions to [email protected] and I'll respond in an episode. This question got me all turned around because I had never considered someone might struggle to really believe they are forgiven if they are in Christ. Listen to this episode if you're feeling doubt or discouraged in God's forgiveness.

The enemy wants you to believe your beauty is not enough and too much - all at the same time. Here's what God says of you.

The reason you're trying to control everything says more about your struggle than what you're trying to control. There's another way to relate to food and to your body. God put you in your body for a reason, and instead of fighting against it - you can actually choose to be at peace with it. Check out Karen Finney @karenfinneycoaching on instagram!

I felt God whisper, "you don't need a man's desire to have permission to capture how beautiful I made you" 

Close up pictures of me in my underwear, what could go wrong? Building confidence is about challenging yourself to try new things. After I broke off an engagement 6 months ago, I wanted to celebrate how God is renewing me. Reclaiming me. I wanted to do a boudoir shoot for my wedding, but I felt like I couldn't anymore. Soooo I listened to God's nudge and did it even though I was a little afraid what people would say. This episode covers how I thought about the process, things I did to improve my comfort level and body confidence!
