    In today’s episode of Start Scared, I reflect on a sermon from church over Philippians 1:1-11 and what it means to cultivate joyful fellowship with God and each other in 2026.

    From grace and peace to prayer and community, this episode invites you to reflect on how connected your faith is and how we are never meant to shine alone.

  • 255. Anchored in Peace: A Declaration for 2026

    In 2026, instead of picking a word for the year, I am choosing how I want to be, feel, and act. In this episode, I share my personal declaration and mantra for the year, along with the scriptures that are helping me release urgency, pressure, and control.

    ✨ Call to Action:
    Create your own declaration, Scripture of the year, or mantra and share it with me. I’d love to hear what God is stirring in you as you step into 2026.

  • 253. You Can Be a Great Mom AND Have a Life Outside of Motherhood

    This weekend reminded me why parenting, boundaries, and friendship all matter. From a near missed fishing trip lesson to a husband and kid free girls’ weekend, this episode is about responsibility, consequences, happiness, and giving yourself permission to live, too. You can be a present mom and a present friend. Both matter. Merry Christmas, Mama! 🤍

  • 249. Run YOUR Own Race and Be the "Other"

    This weekend in Stephenville turned into a whole word straight from Acts 20:24. Addison’s church shared a powerful message on being “the other” in a world of sameness, especially with Thanksgiving and tricky family dynamics coming up. We’re talking hope, joy, forgiveness, running your race, staying in your lane, and showing up with grace in places that feel hard.
