What does it really look like to set faith-filled goals without burning out or feeling like you are constantly behind?

In this episode, I sit down with Katie Andaur to talk about intentional growth, sustainable discipline, and how to pursue goals while staying rooted in faith, health, and wholeness. We unpack the pressure to do more, hustle harder, and prove yourself, and instead explore what alignment looks like when God is actually leading the plan.

Katie shares her perspective on setting goals that honor your season, protect your energy, and create lasting impact from the inside out. This conversation is honest, practical, and refreshing for anyone who wants to grow without losing themselves in the process.

Based in Tampa Bay, Katie Andaur is a leader and strategist who believes health, faith, and intentional living are deeply connected. With a background in business, brand building, and people leadership, she brings a grounded and thoughtful voice to conversations around growth, discipline, and modern success.

The discipline you’re praying for won’t magically show up one day. It’s built, practiced, and protected in the life you choose to live.

In this episode, we talk about the gap between the prayers we pray and the habits we keep. If you’ve been asking God for consistency, focus, peace, or growth, this conversation will challenge you to look at your routines, your boundaries, and the daily choices shaping your life.

Discipline isn’t about perfection or hustle. It’s about alignment. It’s about building a life that actually supports the calling you’re asking God to trust you with.

If you’re tired of starting over, feeling stuck, or wondering why change feels so hard, this episode is for you.

Because the life you want doesn’t come from intention alone. It comes from what you’re willing to build.

If this episode encouraged you, I'd be so grateful if you'd take a minute to leave a review. It helps more people find the show and keep these conversations going.

In this honest and empowering conversation, Ashley revisits a powerful discussion she previously had with Dina Hunter, BSN, RN, NASM certified personal trainer, nutrition coach, and corrective exercise specialist, about what really happens after a marriage ends.

Dina reflects on her journey of rediscovering herself after divorce, the identity shifts that shaped her healing, and the unexpected strength she found on the other side of grief. This conversation goes beyond the breakup and into the deeper work of rebuilding from the inside out.

With a heart for nervous system regulation, movement, and mindset, Dina shares how she blends science and soul to help people reconnect with their truth and realign with who they were always meant to be. If you are walking through a breakup, divorce, or any season where life feels unfamiliar, this episode is a reminder that healing is possible and you are not alone.

In this episode, we cover:

• Who you were before the relationship and who you are becoming

• The grief of losing not just a person, but parts of yourself

• How faith and mindset can support growth after heartbreak

• Practical, grounded wisdom for rebuilding after loss

• What it truly means to reclaim your identity and personal power

In this episode we dive into the quiet wins that shaped us long before anyone noticed. The moments you chose discipline over comfort. The days you kept going even when life felt heavy. The choices you made in private that created growth in public.

These quiet wins matter more than we often admit. They shape our character. They prepare us for bigger moments. They remind us that progress does not always need an audience.

If you are in a season where the world may not see your effort, this episode will give you a little hope, a little perspective, and a whole lot of encouragement.

Today we are diving into The Grateful Gap, the space you feel when being thankful is hard and life feels heavier than you expected. This episode will encourage you, challenge you, and inspire you to notice the small places where gratitude still shows up.

Meet this weeks guest, Nichole Dunas. She’s a wife, a soon to be mom, and she recently celebrated two years of marriage to her sweet husband Paul. Nichole has such a steady, genuine love for Jesus. Her heart beats for helping people love well, live holy, stand for truth, and grow a faith that holds up even in the hard places.

God has opened doors for her to share this message online, in person, and even overseas. She counts every moment as joy. And at the center of it all, her hope is that people would be so transformed by the Gospel that they feel led to share the greatest gift of all. Jesus Himself. This conversation uplifted me, encouraged my heart, and reminded me of the power of honest community. I know it will do the same for you.

In this episode, I’m sharing a few lessons God’s been teaching me in this season. From learning to be quiet, to staying grateful when things don’t make sense, to trusting progress even when I can’t see it . He’s been showing me that growth often happens in the stillness. I’ll also talk about standing firm on His Word and learning to speak life with my words.

If you’ve been in a quiet or uncertain season, I pray this conversation reminds you that God is still moving, even when you can’t feel it. He’s working behind the scenes, growing something beautiful in you.

Grab your journal, your coffee, and let’s lean in together.
