Essays and Ese episodes

  • Reach

    What happens when you step outside the version of you that feels safe? When you stretch, not because you’re certain, but because you know you’re ready for more?


    In this episode of Essays and Ese, we explore what it means to reach. To stretch past comfort. To grow beyond the familiar. To pursue purpose with intention. And to realize that your reach, whether personal, spiritual, or relational, might be impacting more lives than you know.


    If you’ve been sensing the nudge to do more, become more, or give more, this one’s for you.

  • Unseen

    There are seasons where it feels like you're doing the most, showing up, pouring out, carrying weight, and still being overlooked. No applause. No acknowledgment. Just silence.


    In this episode of Essays and Ese, I sit with that feeling. The ache of being the reliable one. The one people lean on, but rarely check on. The one who gets it done, even when the group disappears.


    But being unseen doesn’t mean being unknown. And it doesn’t make your light any less real.

    Let this be your reminder: your effort counts. Your presence matters. Your quiet faithfulness is not wasted.
