Negative thoughts are powerful—but God is greater.

In this short but powerful episode, I'm sharing a few scriptures that have anchored me when life feels heavy and discouragement tries to creep in. If you're walking through something hard or your mindset is under attack, this is your reminder that you're not alone—and God always shows up.

Two of my favorite words in the Bible are "But God." Those holy buts shift everything. No matter what you're facing, God will step in, redirect, and redeem.

Let this episode be the encouragement your heart needs today. I'm believing in you, always.

It's been two months since everything shifted—and in today's episode, I'm answering the #1 question I've been getting: "How are you really doing?"

After 15 years in a career I loved, God called me into a new season of surrender, rest, and reflection. If you're walking through a time of uncertainty or feel like your world's been flipped upside down too, I pray this life update encourages you.

I'm sharing what I've been learning, how I've been taking care of myself, and what I believe God is preparing me for next. You're not alone in this kind of in-between season—and there is beauty in the becoming.

Welcome to the month of love! ❤️

In this episode, I'm kicking off a series on marriage by sharing 5 ways my husband Shaw and I make ours work. After 22 years of marriage (and 27 years together!), we've learned that a healthy relationship isn't effortless—it's intentional.

Whether you're in a great season or feeling a little disconnected, these tips will help you:

• Prioritize your marriage even when life gets busy

• Take ownership of your role in the relationship

• Invest in connection before there's a crisis

You don't have to be struggling to strengthen your marriage. Consider this your reminder that the work you do at home feeds into everything else you do—your parenting, your leadership, your business, and your peace.

It's not about what's on your dinner plate—it's what's on your to-do list, your mental load, your calendar.

Now that we're a few weeks into the new year, it's time to take inventory: 🔹 What's on your plate right now? 🔹 Is it nourishing—or just weighing you down? 🔹 Have you made space for your own well-being, or are you buried under tasks and expectations?

In this episode, I'm walking you through how to assess what you're carrying, how to recognize when it's too much, and how to let go of what's no longer serving you—so you can move forward with more clarity, peace, and purpose.

We didn't see this coming... and maybe you didn't either.

In this deeply personal episode, I'm sharing the unexpected challenges and lessons that shaped my 2021—from a serious knee injury to a family member's terminal diagnosis, and my own experience with COVID. It's been a year I never planned for, but one that refined my faith and focus.

My word of the year was RESPOND—and in this episode, I unpack what that looked like in real life. You'll hear how God used hardship to get my attention, the difference between reacting and responding, and the surprising news He's been preparing me for all along.

If you're in a season of uncertainty, grief, or change, I hope this brings encouragement, hope, and permission to pause and listen.

So in this episode, I share some big news, which was definitely unexpected, but God has been leading me towards this for some time now, and I'm finally in a place where I can finally listen.
