This week we are doing some reflection with story telling. Today I am sharing an inspirational story about a man who waited to start his dream at 80 years of age.  We unpack all the thoughts around lingering dreams and goals and how and when to peruse them.

In this episode, I reflect on the recent passing of Charlie Kirk and the powerful reminder his funeral brought me about the value of our time here on earth. Each of us has two dates—when we are born and when we die—and in between is a dash. That dash represents our life, and what we choose to do with it truly matters!

What are you doing today that will make your dash count?

What will people say about you when you’re gone?

Did you add value to the world around you?

This conversation is an invitation to pause and consider: Am I living in a way that adds value to the world around me? Am I using my days with purpose, faith, and intention? My hope is that this message inspires you to make your dash count, leaving behind a legacy of love, service, and impact. My hope is that you know the sweetness and nearness of Jesus. 

Part of who I am is because of who HE is in my life. I’m inspired by Charlies life to have a faith that is both bold & brave.

I reference a daily devotional Jesus Calling by Sarah Young. Available on Amazon.

I reference Pastor, Loui Giglio from Passion City Church. Passion is available on apple podcast, YouTube and you can stream services live every Sunday. 

If I can be an encouragement to you in any way please reach out on instagram dms.

The Made for More podcast is about living life on purpose and with intention—choosing growth, knowing when to pause the noise, and staying present with the people who matter most.

This week’s episode is a little different. With the weight of the news and media, and with the remembrance of 9/11, I honestly didn’t know what to bring to the mic. So instead, this episode is simply my heart—a message of honesty, hope, reflection and compassion. I share my thoughts on wishing the world was kinder, safer, and less divided, and I hope these words serve as a small reminder that even in heaviness, we can choose empathy, connection, and light.

This week we’re talking about what it means to show up unfiltered—without filtering yourself, without over apologizing, or second-guessing yourself. So much of our energy gets wasted trying to edit how we look or how we come across, but real confidence comes from ditching the filters and letting yourself be seen as you are. This is your reminder that the unfiltered you is where your beauty and power lives!

I challenge you to try going the next 30 days without using a filter or editing your photos. 

You were made for more, you always have been!

Today is awesome because we are now on episode #10! Did you know only 20% of podcasters make It to producing episode 10? 

Some stop creating because they overthink everything:

• “Is this episode good enough?”
• “Do I sound dumb?”
• “What if no one cares?”
   That internal pressure can kill progress faster than anything else.

Which is perfect because today we are talking about having self belief and how to believe in yourself and keep going!

Believing in yourself is a full time job and on today’s episode, we’re diving into why that matters—and how you can become the kind of person who truly believes in themselves.

Self doubt is loud, but self belief? It has to be chosen—over and over again.

We’re talking about practical mindset shifts, ditching other peoples approval and what it actually takes to build unshakable self-trust.

We also do a mindset journaling activity so im leaving it here in the show notes for you to refer back to.

Here’s a journaling exercise I want you to try. Grab a notebook or open a note on your phone, and write this:

•I am (fill in the blank with your goal)

Examples:

•I am a marathon runner.

•I am a bestselling author.

•I am a college graduate.

•I am a business owner.

•I am a loving parent.

Now, under each one, write:

•I believe I can be [your goal].

•I believe I have what it takes to become [your goal].

•I believe I will be [your goal].

Right before you step into something great, it often feels like you’re breaking under the pressure. In this episode, I talk about the exhaustion that comes with being a passionate person on the pursuit of more—and why it’s worth it. The truth is, the unseen work you do when no one is watching matters more than you think. It shapes your integrity, strengthens your character, and prepares you for the very breakthrough you’ve been waiting for.

Growth is never free—it will cost you something. Staying in your comfort zone costs you the future version of yourself you’ll never meet. But choosing to go stretch yourself to grow costs energy, effort, and the discomfort of stretching into something new. Something more! In this episode, we’re talking about the real price of growth, why those growing pains are worth it, and how to flip your mindset from “that could never happen for me” to “why not me, and why not now and who better to do it than me?“

I’m also sharing some really exciting news with my Made For More crew before I announce it anywhere else! I value your time towards this show and since we are on a growth journey together I figured I would share my news here where dreamers dream.

I hope you enjoy this weeks episode and life update!

So here’s to “Why not me?”
