This episode is all about learning how to actually live in the present when your mind keeps drifting to where you’ve been or where you’re trying to go. We talk about why it’s so easy to get pulled into old memories or future plans, the ways your brain tries to protect you by replaying or predicting, and what it looks like to gently bring yourself back to “right now” without ignoring the real weight of your past or the hopes you have for your future.

It’s not about pretending your history doesn’t matter or acting like you shouldn’t care about what’s ahead — it’s about finding the kind of presence that lets you breathe, think clearly, and actually enjoy your life as it’s happening.

In this episode, we’re digging into what technology is actually doing to your brain — not in a dramatic “throw your phone in a lake” way, but in a real, human, everyday way. We talk about how we are in a constant cycle of being on our phones, why scrolling can mess with your emotional baseline, and how it can has life long impacts.

If you’ve ever wondered why your brain feels fried after a day on your phone, or why tech can make you feel both connected and weirdly lonely at the same time, this one’s for you.

In this episode, we talk about why the shift felt right, what it represents, and how reflection plays a huge role in growth. Sometimes, you have to pause, look back, and realize that change isn’t about losing what was—it’s about naming what it’s become.

Join me as I share the story behind Lemons, the lessons learned from &, and why taking time to reflect might be the most underrated part of becoming who you’re meant to be.

Before you can use your gifts well, you have to actually know who you are. Too often, we skip that part — we rush to “make an impact” without first understanding what makes us unique. In this episode, we talk about the importance of slowing down long enough to learn yourself: your strengths, your limits, your passions, and the ways you naturally show up in the world. Because once you really know yourself, you can use your gifts — not for attention or validation, but to genuinely love and serve others.

Sometimes, the enemy doesn’t show up in red with horns — he shows up in disguise. In this episode, we talk about how Satan’s tactics are often subtle, disguised as good ideas, comfort, or even “common sense.” We’ll unpack how easy it is to miss what’s actually pulling us away from truth, and why recognizing those patterns matters so much. Because if we don’t see the lies for what they are, we can’t fight them — and if we do, we can live with a whole lot more clarity, strength, and peace.

Anxious thoughts sneak in as “what ifs” and worst-case spirals, but what actually makes them anxious—and how do we move past them? Before this episode, Caroline Lum helped me process where anxious thoughts come from and share practical ways to step out of the spiral and into peace.

Gratitude isn’t just a nice idea — it’s a biblical command with the power to shift our entire outlook. In this episode, we talk about what the Bible actually says about giving thanks (hint: it’s not just when things are going great), why gratitude is so much deeper than surface-level positivity, and how it rewires the way we see God, ourselves, and the world around us. Whether you're in a season of abundance or struggle, this conversation is a reminder that gratitude isn’t optional — it’s essential. And it might just be the key to unlocking peace and purpose right where you are.

This week, I sit down with my wise and wildly strong friend Sara to talk about a topic we all try to avoid: suffering. Sara shares parts of her story with raw honesty—what it’s like to walk through real pain, hold onto faith when things don’t make sense, and choose joy even when life isn’t easy. Together, we unpack questions like: Where is God in our pain? What does it mean to suffer well? And how can we support each other when we’re hurting? Whether you’re in a hard season or loving someone who is, this conversation holds space for both truth and tenderness.

Let's dive into singleness! How do we be intentional with our time? Why are we given times of singleness? Lets change the narrative of both sides that singleness is either bad or "it's a gift".

In this episode, we sit down with a Christian therapist who shares his personal story—why he chose the path of therapy, the cycles he frequently sees in his practice, and how to combat them. With a blend of faith and psychology, he opens up about the transformative power of therapy, offering insight into common patterns people fall into and how to break free from them. Whether you're seeking healing or just curious about the therapeutic process, this conversation offers valuable wisdom on navigating life's challenges with hope and faith.
