In 9 Minutes

Last weekend I spoke to a room full of teenage boys about relationships, and something I said stuck with my husband the whole drive home. He couldn't stop thinking about it, and neither could I. The line was simple: we can't forget what we don't know. But that raises a bigger question. How do you actually know if you know something, like really know it?

Turns out there are real ways to test what you know, and even more ways to make sure it actually sticks. Some of these I've used for years without knowing they had names. One I'd genuinely never heard of until I started digging into this. If you want what matters to you to actually stay with you instead of just passing through, this one's worth nine minutes.

Episode Highlights

• A quick way to test whether you actually know something or just think you do
• An unusual memory trick tied to walking through your own house
• Why memorizing something once almost never makes it stick

Here’s to more intentional connection and less grind … 9 minutes at a time!

Music by Max Sise

People ask me all the time how God influences my business, and my answer is always the same: in every way. When you run something you built yourself, with no boss but Jesus, that kind of freedom can feel incredible and completely overwhelming at the same time.

I'm walking through five questions I ask myself when I need to get honest about who's actually leading, my calendar, my choices, my time. This isn't about having it all figured out. It's about noticing where you've been making decisions on autopilot instead of on purpose.

Episode Highlights

• How to tell if you're making decisions from calling or from should
• Why comparison quietly steals your clarity
• What it actually looks like to own your time instead of giving it away

Have you ever had something sitting in a drawer, a folder, or the back of your mind that you never got around to sharing? I started thinking about that after reading a book that pulled me in completely. 

This episode isn't really about the book. It's about what almost didn't happen, and what shifts when the people around you refuse to let you keep something to yourself.

Episode Highlights:

• The real story behind a bestselling novel that almost stayed ion the corner of a desk
• Why one friend's pushback ended up changing everything for that book and what that means for you
• The one question I want you asking about who you let in on what you're sitting on

I got a text that landed differently than most. It was from a woman who sat in one of my sessions back in June, and what she told me about breaking free from something she thought was permanent has stuck with me.

It's making me wonder what you've got sitting on a list somewhere, what's been hanging over your head. And whether right now, in July, might actually be the moment you've been waiting for without even realizing it.

Episode Highlights:

• A real story about what happens when you stop waiting for the perfect time
• Why mid-year actually holds something January never did
• One simple way to think about what you actually want the rest of this year to feel like

Do you ever catch yourself saying "I just need more discipline" and then nothing changes? You're not alone in that loop, but the loop itself might be the clue. What if discipline was never actually the missing piece?

In this episode, I'm breaking down why discipline without a real decision behind it never sticks, and what it actually looks like to put the decision first so the discipline has something to attach to.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS

• Why "I need more discipline" is often a way to avoid making a real decision
• How to turn a vague goal into a clear rule you can actually follow
• A simple way to start practicing this today, nine minutes at a time

You are on track to leave on time, maybe even early, and then you decide to throw in one load of laundry or fire off one quick email. The next thing you know, you are late before you even make it out the door, running around feeling like your whole day got set on fire.

I am not a one more thing person, and in this episode I get into why that habit costs you so much more than the few minutes you think you are saving. There is actually a name for what happens when you keep reaching for one last task, and once you can see the pattern, you can start choosing something different.

Episode Highlights:

• What the one more thing habit is quietly doing to your brain, your time, and the people waiting on you
• Why the hurry stays with you even after you finally walk in the door
• A simple way to rethink what being ready actually means before you leave

We are wired for connection, so the words invitation only can stop us in our tracks and stir up old feelings we would rather not revisit. Most of us know the sting of being left off a list. What we forget is how much power lives on the other side of an invitation, and how often we are the ones quietly waiting to be invited to something we already want.

I want to flip that this week and put your invitation powers to good use. That might mean reaching out to someone who is waiting for those two words, or it might mean offering the invitation to yourself. Whatever you have been holding off on until someone hands you permission, consider this your nudge to stop waiting.

Episode Highlights:

• What pulling the thread on an invitation you never got can reveal
• How extending an invitation to yourself can build real momentum
• Who in your life might be waiting for you to extend the invitation

Most of us are living in a quiet wrestling match. There are the things we have to do, and there are the things we actually want to do, and somehow the things we're excited about keep getting pushed to the back burner. We tell ourselves we'll get to them once life slows down or we finally have enough time, and that day never quite arrives.

This is the 100th episode, and I'm going back to the principle that started it all and the small, doable way everything shifts when you stop waiting for the perfect amount of time. I'm also bringing back something a lot of you have been asking me for. If there's something you've been putting off or telling yourself you'll never get to, consider this your nudge to begin.

Episode Highlights:

• Why the things you keep avoiding take far less time than you think
• The simple pairing that takes the edge off whatever you've been resisting
• What starts to change when you prove you can keep a promise to yourself

It's June, we're halfway through 2026, and something about summer always makes me want to refresh my planner and rethink how I move through my days. If you have ever caught yourself stuck in self-doubt, comparison, or that nagging sense that you're never quite enough, the truth is your thoughts are probably the ones running the show.

In this episode I'm sharing one simple practice you can start in nine minutes with nothing but paper and a pen. It's something you can use yourself and teach to the people you love, and once you do it, you'll have something to come back to every single day when comparison or doubt tries to creep in.

Episode Highlights:

• What happens when you stop letting your thoughts boss you around
• Why the affirmations doing the rounds in app stores miss something essential
• A nine minute starting point you can build on forever

Some lessons you learn once, and they stick. Others you have to keep coming back to before they actually change anything. After 28 years of marriage, 98 podcast episodes, publishing a book, and more listener messages than I can count, I know which ones are worth repeating.

In this episode, I'm sharing the lessons that have held up, the ones listeners wrote in about, the ones I keep coming back to myself, and the one thing you can do today to make sure the experiences you're walking through are actually working for you.

Episode Highlights:

• The decision-making habit that one listener says put her back in the driver's seat of her life
• What a snoring husband taught me about gratitude and hard conversations
• The nine-minute action that makes any lesson actually stick

Be sure to listen all the way through, because I'm celebrating episode 100 with a giveaway and one listener is walking away with $100 cash!
