With episode 100 just around the corner, I wanted to celebrate the journey by revisiting two powerful episodes that represent the heart of this show—and how far we’ve come!

This week, I’m sharing: A throwback to my very first episode, Faith Step In—a raw, simple start that proves progress begins with one bold step. A listener-favorite, Faith Over Fear (Episode 40), where I opened up about surrender, growth, and trusting God through uncertainty.

We’ll talk about: – What happens when you step into fear anyway – The lessons I’ve learned after nearly 100 weeks of podcasting – How God often uses our failures as stepping stones – A reminder that the journey doesn’t have to be perfect to be powerful

Plus, I’m launching something new this week: the Reset Your Mindset Challenge, and sharing details about my new course, Flourish Accelerator, a faith-based business jumpstart for women who are ready to start moving forward with confidence.

Welcome back to Flourish. Today’s episode is deeply personal. I’m sharing from the middle of a season where I’ve wrestled with old habits, shifting priorities, and the voice of self-doubt that tries to tell me I’ve lost progress.  

Maybe you’ve been there too—comparing yourself to an earlier version of you that felt healthier, more confident, or more put-together. Maybe you’ve found yourself wondering if you're falling behind or if God still sees you when the clarity fades.  

Friend, this episode is your reminder: you are not failing—you are becoming. 

We’ll explore:  

✔ What to do when clarity feels far away  

✔ How to reframe your self-talk with truth  

✔ Why physical health and mindset growth can look different in every season  

✔ What Psalm 139 reminds us about our identity  

✔ How to recognize the voice of grace over the voice of guilt

If you’ve been feeling disconnected from your worth, or unsure about your next step—this episode is for you.

Seeing the Whole Picture: Trusting God’s Perspective in Uncertain Times

Ever feel like you’re only getting part of the story? Today, I'm talking about perspective—how we often see just a fraction of what God is doing, but He sees the whole picture.

Join me as we unpack:

• The Blind Men & the Elephant Story: A powerful lesson on limited perspective

• What Scripture says about trusting God’s plan (Proverbs 3:5-6, Isaiah 55:8-9, 1 Corinthians 13:12)

• Why our assumptions can hold us back—and how humility allows us to grow

• How to seek God’s wisdom daily and allow the Holy Spirit to guide our steps (James 1:5, John 16:13)

Key Takeaway: We all have a limited perspective, but God sees the full picture. Instead of trying to figure it all out, we need to trust Him, seek His wisdom, and remain humble in learning.
