Hey guys! Welcome to a brand new season of Did I Talk Too Much? — this year, we’re stepping In the Light. Together, we’re shining honest light on the conversations Christian women often keep in the dark — the ones that feel too messy, too personal, or too “taboo” to talk about in church circles. From doubt and identity to relationships, body image, and mental health, no topic is off-limits as we seek truth, freedom, and grace in every corner of our stories.

It’s time to bring it all into the light — because God meets us there.
