Moxie Uncut

You know that feeling when something ends, and you're left wondering, Okay… so now what? Maybe a job didn't work out, a dream fell apart, or life just threw you a curveball you did not see coming. It's easy to think you've failed—but what if this is actually the start of something even better?

In this episode, we're getting real about those moments when life hits reset. We'll talk about why endings aren't the end of the story, how starting over isn't a step back (even when it totally feels like one), and why God's plan is way bigger than just one chapter.

So, grab your coffee, throw on your comfiest sweatshirt, and let's talk about what's next—because, friend, you're not behind, and you're definitely not alone.

It's a new month and that means a new mini series! November's topic is on a Season of Generosity In our first episode, I get to chat with one of my favorite people, Stephanie – an incredible mom, Executive Director, and founder of Jubilee Trading Company. Stephanie's journey is one that reminds us all of the power of community and the strength it takes to evolve a dream.

As we wrap up our Transparency in Storytelling mini series, I'm excited to have Mel join us on the podcast (for a second time) for this final conversation. Mel, the founder of Story Makers in NYC, shares how storytelling connects us with our inner lives, our communities, and even God's greater narrative. Through creating zines, memory cards, and playbooks, Story Makers helps kids discover and tell their own stories, sparking spiritual growth along the way.

This conversation is about the real impact of these resources—from the creative process to the life-changing connections they foster.

Melina Luna Smith is the founder of StoryMakers NYC, clergy wife, and mother of two.

Each camp focused on one of the great stories of the Bible with Melina's trademark commitment to whimsy and beauty.
