Transitions can be exciting, beautiful, prayed for... and still leave you wondering why your emotions feel all over the place.

After weeks of preparing to launch my oldest daughter to college, moving her in, coming home, going back for sorority recruitment and finally saying goodbye, everything got quiet. And that's when the transition really started to hit me.

Maybe you're not dropping a child at college. Maybe you're starting a new job, moving, sending a child into middle school, launching a graduate into adulthood or simply realizing that a season of your life is changing.

This episode is for the woman standing somewhere between what was and what's next.

We're looking at a moment between Jesus and His mother, Mary, that has me thinking differently about what happens when our roles change and God asks us to move forward instead of trying to hold onto what has been.

Scripture for this episode | Matthew 12:46–50

“While Jesus was still talking to the crowd, his mother and brothers stood outside, wanting to speak to him. Someone told him, ‘Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to you.’ He replied to him, ‘Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?’ Pointing to his disciples, he said, ‘Here are my mother and my brothers. For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.’”

💻 Have you ever wondered if you could build an income from social media?

Maybe you're in a transition yourself and part of what you're thinking about is what's next for you.

I've spent years building businesses through social media, and today I'm mentoring women who want to create an additional stream of income by sharing products they already use and love.

You do not need a huge following or years of experience. But you do need to be willing to learn, show up consistently and get into conversations with people.

If you've been curious about the affiliate opportunity I'm building with MAKE Wellness and want to learn more about what it could look like for you, I'd love to share the details with you.

If you're in the middle of a transition right now and trying to make sense of all the emotions that come with it, press play. This one is for you.

Two weeks ago, before moving our oldest daughter into college, I shared 3 things I’m incredibly grateful we prioritized during her first eighteen years.

Now that we’re on the other side of that move, I’m finishing the conversation.

What surprised me when I sat down to prepare for Part 2 was that I couldn't come up with three big things I regretted. Instead, I kept coming back to a few choices I made with really good intentions that I simply see differently now.

If you're raising kids who are still under your roof, this isn't an episode about regret. It's about perspective. Because sometimes we don't realize what matters most until we're far enough down the road to look back. 💙

What happens when the little girl who loved Jesus slowly walks away from everything she once believed?

In this week's episode, I'm joined by Caitlin Kendrick Conwill, and her story is one I haven't been able to stop thinking about.

Caitlin grew up as a pastor's daughter. She loved the Lord, wanted to do everything right, and spent much of her childhood feeling like she never quite fit in.

Then she left for college.

What she experienced there challenged everything she believed about faith, people, and acceptance. Over time, she drifted farther from God, became agnostic, and built a life that looked incredibly successful from the outside.

She was traveling with a band, performing in front of thousands, thriving professionally, and chasing the life she had always dreamed of.

Until it all came crashing down.

In this conversation, Caitlin shares how alcohol slowly took control of her life, what led her to rehab, and the unexpected way God began pursuing her again.

If you've ever wrestled with church hurt, perfectionism, shame, or wondered if you've wandered too far from God, I think this conversation will encourage you.

Her career, and life, took a turn when she discovered God’s grace and purpose through her journey of recovery from alcohol and drug abuse. 

She continues to share her testimony and use her personal experience to help others in their walk through early recovery.

As I prepare to move my oldest daughter into her college dorm, I've found myself looking back over the last eighteen years of motherhood and asking one simple question...

What am I most grateful we prioritized as a family?

In this first part of a special two-part series, I'm sharing three ordinary rhythms that quietly became the foundation of our home. My hope is that whether you're raising toddlers, teenagers, or getting ready to launch a child into adulthood, you'll walk away encouraged that the small things really do matter.

If you've ever wondered whether the little things you're doing today are making a difference, I hope this conversation reminds you that faith, family, and intentional parenting are built one ordinary day at a time.

Have you ever wondered if your struggle somehow disappointed God?

Maybe you've wrestled with depression, anxiety, or simply felt like you weren't measuring up as a Christian. Instead of running to Jesus, you found yourself pulling away because you thought you needed to get better first.

This week, I'm joined by wellness educator, speaker, and coach Charlé Barkey for one of the most honest conversations we've had on the podcast. Charlé vulnerably shares how God met her in one of the darkest seasons of her life and gently reminded her that shame never gets the final say.

As our conversation unfolds, we talk about what it means to steward the bodies God has given us, create space to hear His voice, and trust that He is always inviting us back into relationship with Him.

One of my favorite moments in the episode came from Genesis 9:3:

"Everything that lives and moves will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything." (Genesis 9:3)

It's a beautiful reminder that from the very beginning, God cared about how we nourish and care for the bodies He entrusted to us. Stewardship isn't about perfection—it's about honoring Him with what He's given us.

If you've ever questioned God's heart toward you because of your struggle, I pray this conversation reminds you that He isn't waiting for you to have it all together.

He's simply asking you to come.

If this episode encouraged you, would you take a moment to leave a review or share it with a friend? You never know who may need this reminder today.

When was the last time you prayed for yourself?

As women, we spend so much of our time praying for our children, our spouses, our parents, our friends, and the situations weighing heavily on our hearts. Those prayers matter. But somewhere along the way, many of us forget to ask God to transform us.

In this special guided prayer, I'll pray over you.

Together, we'll ask God to renew our minds, strengthen our faith, help us release what is holding us back, and become the women He has created us to be. We'll pray for wisdom, forgiveness, courage, our health, our marriages, our children, and the purpose God has placed on our lives.

If Episode 113, A Guided Prayer for Busy Seasons, became part of your morning routine, I hope this prayer becomes another resource you return to whenever you need to be reminded that God isn't only interested in what you're carrying….He's deeply interested in the woman carrying it.

Find a quiet place, take a deep breath, and allow these words to become your own prayer as you spend a few moments with Jesus.

What if the labels you've carried for years were never the labels God gave you?

In this episode, I'm joined by Vicki Boggs as she shares her powerful testimony of becoming a teenage mom, carrying shame and condemnation for decades, and ultimately discovering the freedom that only Jesus can bring.

I loved this conversation because it's a reminder that our past doesn't disqualify us from God's purpose. In fact, God often uses the very chapters we'd rather forget to prepare us for the calling He has planned all along.

We also talk about how God used Vicki's nearly 40 years in healthcare, caring for her mother, and her own health journey to lead her to her mission today…..helping others steward their health through Stretch Zone and her faith-based wellness ministry, Strength Through Stewardship.

If you've ever struggled with shame, believed lies about yourself, or wondered if God could still use your story, I pray this episode encourages you.

Have you ever looked around at your life and thought, "I have so much to be thankful for...so why do I feel so stuck?"

If you've been feeling unmotivated, overwhelmed, or like you've somehow lost your spark, this episode is for you.

In this episode, I'm sharing one of the hardest seasons I've walked through, even though everything looked “fine” from the outside. We'll talk about why motivation isn't something we wait for, but something we cultivate through intentional action, renewing our minds, surrounding ourselves with the right people, and drawing close to the Lord.

If you're ready to stop waiting to "feel like it" and start becoming the woman God created you to be, I pray this conversation encourages you.

Scriptures Mentioned:

• Ecclesiastes 11:4 – "Whoever watches the wind will not plant; whoever looks at the clouds will not reap."
• Romans 12:2 – "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind."
• Proverbs 13:20 – "Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm."
• Proverbs 27:17 – "As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another."
• Mark 6:1–6 – Jesus is rejected in His hometown of Nazareth and continues His ministry from village to village.
• Psalm 37:4 – "Take delight in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart."

Pressing on & praying for you,

Tracy

If you had asked me in January whether I'd be down more than 20 pounds by the end of June, I would have laughed.

Because at that point… I felt completely stuck.

I was doing all the “right” things. Or at least I thought I was.

And yet, nothing was changing.

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what finally shifted—and why it wasn’t what I expected.

There was one simple change that made a bigger impact than anything else I had tried… and honestly, I almost overlooked it.

We’re also talking about a habit I didn’t realize was quietly holding me back, a mindset shift that changed everything, and why my mornings started to look very different.

If you’ve ever felt like your body isn’t responding anymore, or like you’re doing everything right but still not seeing results… this conversation is for you.

In This Episode:

• The moment I realized something had to change
• What I thought was helping… but actually wasn’t
• The simple shift that made the biggest difference
• A surprising habit that started working in my favor
• Why my mornings became non-negotiable
• The connection between faith, mindset, and physical health
• What I’m focusing on now instead of just the scale
• A challenge I want you to consider this week

Scripture Mentioned

1 Thessalonians 5:23

"May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless."

Join Me for Peps & Steps!

One of the biggest breakthroughs in my own journey came from something incredibly simple… but most people overlook it.

That’s why I’m kicking off another Peps & Steps Challenge beginning Monday, July 13, 2026.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, this might be the missing piece.

This challenge will help you:

• Become more aware of your daily movement
• Build consistency without overwhelm
• Create accountability and momentum
• Support your overall wellness goals

You’ll have time to enjoy the Fourth of July with your family, get prepared, and then jump in with us on July 13.

When the Breakthrough Shows Up Wearing Skin

What if the breakthrough you've been praying for doesn't arrive the way you expected?

What if God answers your prayer through a person?

In this episode, I'm sharing why God continually points His people toward community, why isolation can be so dangerous in difficult seasons, and how some of His greatest blessings often arrive through the people He places in our lives.

If you're in the middle of raising teenagers, navigating a challenging season, building something new, or simply feeling weary, I hope this conversation reminds you that you were never meant to walk through life alone.
