Life is hard, and sometimes we get lost. Burdens and trials are placed in our path that seem to literally crush us, drain our hope and happiness, and make us wonder what on earth we’re doing here. In this episode, I’m sharing about the burden I’m currently in the middle of, how I see Satan trying to beat me, and how I’m trying to use Christ to fight.

What do you think of when you hear the words “self care”? Maybe girls nights, pedicures and massages? Well we won’t be talking about those in this episode. Instead we are talking about prioritizing the things that bring you true joy, deep connection and inspiration. The things that truly “fill you up”. This is something I’m deeply passionate about, and I hope you will be too after listening!

Ever feel like what you have to give isn’t enough? You have wonderful, righteous, worthy goals but it’s HARD and LONG to get there? This is where Satan loves to encourage you to give up.

New year means reflecting and setting goals right?! Yes, but let’s make it different this year. Let’s make goals that set ourselves up for success and real happiness!

Christmas is upon us! In the spirit of slowing down and enjoying the holidays, I’m sharing my thoughts on unplugging from social media so you can have more meaningful real life connections as you spend time with your loved ones this holiday season. Don’t let Satan use social media to spike your anxiety, cause you to compare, have split attention or miss out on what’s in front of you. Take time to unplug and enjoy celebrating the birth of Christ as it is meant to be-present and joyful!

November is a great time to get in the thankful spirit. But gratitude really is a practice we should have all year long!

Why do traditions matter? Are they really THAT important? The answer is yes. Big yes!

Do you ever feel like you can’t stay consistent with your health goals? Like life is running you and it’s not the direction you’d like to be going? I’ve been there! But I discovered something amazing that changed EVERYTHING for me. I’m sharing all about it on this episode!

Fall is such a beautiful time, where the earth reminds us the importance of rest, slower living and retreating. Don’t let Satan keep you busy! Slowing down and having a rhythm of retreating is one of the best things you can do for yourself, your family & your relationship with God. In this episode I’m sharing my personal retreating experiences, what I’ve learned from them & tips to help you create a rhythm of retreating, no matter your situation!

Another conversation about not letting Satan stop us from sharing our hard moments with others by making us feel ashamed or fearful. God can make good out of anything, including death, like he does with Tabitha in Acts 9. Let’s chat how we, like Tabitha, can let God use our dark moments to bring others light.
