In this episode, we’re taking a moment to pause and reflect together as we step into a new year with more intention. I share parts of my own journey — the break, the lessons, and the growth — not as the focus, but as a starting point for a bigger conversation about who we’re becoming.

We talk about what it means to be intentional with ourselves, to lean into community and support, and to keep moving forward even when confidence wavers or the path feels unclear. I reflect on how encouragement and faith have shaped this season of my life, and how those same tools can help us navigate our own transitions with honesty and courage.

This episode is an invitation for us to show up authentically, take action where we can, and give ourselves grace as we grow — together.

Remember, the world needs more Encouragers, Are you in?💛
