While walking in the woods with my dog Sam, I found myself thinking about how much joy it brings me to watch him do what he was created for—running, sniffing, listening, exploring. Even when he’s distracted or doesn’t listen, my love for him never changes. That moment led me to reflect on how God sees us the same way: taking deep pleasure in watching us thrive in simply being exactly who he created us to me. We don’t have to perform to earn his love

. This episode is a quiet, honest reflection on creation, love, and what it means to live in our element.

Episode 2 (season 2)

On a snowy day in the Virginia mountains, Jamie shares a quiet moment of reflection while working with a young wild horse who is learning to trust humans for the first time. The horse wears an old, uncomfortable halter, yet he can’t bring himself to allow anyone close enough to remove it. As Jamie patiently works with him, the situation becomes a powerful metaphor for faith, trust, and past experiences.

Drawing a parallel between the horse’s hesitation and our own spiritual lives, this episode explores how human experiences—especially painful or confusing ones—can shape the way we see God. Even when love, care, and freedom are being offered, we may keep God at arm’s length because we don’t fully understand His intentions. This thoughtful reflection invites listeners to ask an honest question: what might change if we allowed ourselves to be trusted enough to let God’s hands reach us?

Episode 17: What Do You Want Me to Do for You?

Podcast Description:In this reflective episode of Etiquette for Dangerous Women, Jaime shares a quiet moment of clarity inspired by a question Jesus asks in Matthew 20: "What do you want me to do for you?" She explores the deeper desires behind our daily prayers, the presence of God in our lives, and what it means to carry the Kingdom wherever we go. A thoughtful meditation on purpose, presence, and connection with God.

In this episode of Etiquette for Dangerous Women, Jaime reflects on Matthew 18, where the disciples ask Jesus, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” Initially judgmental of the question, she realizes that Jesus didn’t rebuke them—He answered it, pointing to childlike humility as the key to greatness.

This leads Jamie into a personal exploration of how God has been reshaping her belief system—moving from big, dramatic shifts to more subtle, refining work. She discusses her past fixation on achievement and how God taught her to value people over goals. Now, she feels invited to pursue excellence again, but with the right heart—free from fear, pride, or the lie that mediocrity is more spiritual.

Using metaphors like a crumpled dollar and a blocked valve, she illustrates how small, lingering beliefs can hinder God's blessings from flowing through us. The episode ends in prayer, asking God to reveal and correct these false beliefs so we can receive fully, walk in truth, and be a blessing to the world.

Jaime reflects on her mountain‑top conversation in Virginia, recalling a recent 100‑mile endurance ride across rugged Vermont terrain with her horse, Khaleesi. Despite meticulous training and spiritual resolve, a broken stirrup bar on the saddle early on cost them over an hour and forced a saddle swap, slowing their progress on punishing rolling hills. Though they missed the final checkpoint cut off at mile 62, Khaleesi remained healthy, and Jaime found deeper victory—not in crossing the finish line, but in faithfully doing “the next thing,” trusting in God, and embracing growth through hardship. She realized worth isn’t tied to outcomes, but to perseverance, character development, and knowing she was never alone on the journey.

In this reflective episode of Etiquette for Dangerous Women, Jaime records from a quiet Vermont field on the eve of a 100-mile endurance horse race—a bucket list challenge that coincides with her birthday. As she prepares for the ride, she opens up about wrestling with questions of purpose, fear, and God's presence in her decisions. Through past doubts and recent clarity, she shares a comforting realization: whether a path is divinely inspired or personally chosen, God is always with her. It’s a message of peace, trust, and walking forward—even when the outcome is uncertain.

Jaime opens with a personal anecdote about her dog Samwise and the difficulty of finding time for their usual walks due to extreme weather and a packed schedule. She uses this to illustrate a larger internal struggle — feeling disconnected, unbalanced, and overwhelmed by life's demands.

Amidst this chaos, Jaime turns to her spiritual practice, asking God for guidance. She receives the message: “Step into your strength today.” This prompts a deeper reflection on what it means to live from a place of strength, which she interprets as being:

* Integrated within herself (not divided or at war internally),

* Connected with God, and

* Open and connected to others.

Jaime emphasizes that internal fragmentation — caused by things like shame, unforgiveness, bitterness, or judgment — blocks the flow of divine strength and joy. She uses metaphors like funnels and valves to describe how spiritual energy must flow freely into us from God and out to others through love and service.

She compares this to spiritual training, like soldiers preparing in base camps before stepping into real-world missions. Jaime notes that while quiet moments are crucial for spiritual clarity, we are ultimately called to live and serve in the world — active, present, and tuned in to God's voice even amidst the noise.

Jaime encourages listeners to “step into their strength” by staying spiritually and emotionally clear and connected. Strength, she says, comes not from striving, but from alignment — being whole, receptive to God, and loving toward others.

She closes by inviting the audience to examine what might be "clogging the system" in their own lives and to ask God to gently reveal those hidden blockages, so they can walk more freely in divine strength and purpose.
