Let’s get honest about a lie holding too many of us back. Somewhere along the way, we picked up this false idea that humility means shrinking, that dreaming big somehow makes us prideful.

Here’s the answer: You are His. And it’s time to trust Him enough to dream bigger.

Today’s a “Best Of” episode—and you know I absolutely love these shows. Nothing makes me happier than pulling together the best bits, the moments that resonate, and the wisdom that sticks with us long after we hear it.

Now that I’ve done many solo shows, it felt like the perfect time to round up the greatest hits. I’m calling this one: From Stuck to Steady, From Tired to Energized, and From Blah to Bold. 

Because, let’s be honest, feeling good isn’t just about those fleeting moments of happiness. It’s about sustaining it. It’s about building habits and mindsets that work—ones that keep us thriving, not just surviving.

So, today, we’re diving deep. We’re talking about how to build your optimism muscle so you’re grounded even when life throws curveballs. We’re unpacking why sleep—yes, good old-fashioned rest—is your secret superpower (and how to get more of it). And, of course, I’m sharing simple ways to create a life that feels good. We are made to thrive, not just get by.

Let’s get into it!

Let’s dive into one of the biggest mistakes people make when setting goals. It’s subtle, frustrating, and the good news is you can fix it today.

We all love setting goals, whether pursuing business dreams, achieving fitness targets, or making life-changing resolutions. There’s something  powerful about mapping out a plan for the future. But after working with so many driven, faith-filled women, I’ve noticed a common issue: it’s not about lacking motivation or discipline, and it’s not that you’re aiming too high.

The real issue? Treating your goal like a finish line instead of viewing it as a pathway to transformation.

When you change how you look at things, it changes everything. Today, I’m here to help you stop chasing a destination and start creating goals that actually help you grow—inside and out—so you can move forward with purpose, peace, and steady progress.

I'm excited about today's topic because morning routines are more than just a series of tasks—they're a powerful way to nurture your faith, focus, and peace before the day's chaos begins. How you start your morning isn't just about productivity; it's about setting a tone that carries you through the hours ahead with clarity, confidence, and calm.

It's not about waking up at a specific time. It's about creating a routine designed for your current life stage that recharges your energy, builds your mindset, and invites God into the very first moments of your day. When you start with intention, you can approach the rest of your day with grace and purpose.

Let's explore what it means to build a morning routine that supports your calling and helps you focus on what truly matters before the world's noise takes over.

Alright, let's talk about confidence – the real kind. It's not that flimsy "fake it 'til you make it" stuff, but the real deal. You know, that thing we wish we had more of during job interviews and first dates. 

I used to think some people were just born confident--wrong! 

But here's the game-changer: science proves confidence isn't a personality trait – it's a skill. Your brain is wired to learn it. 

Confidence isn't just about feeling a little better; it's about developing a deep, unwavering belief in yourself. You can build lasting confidence today by intentionally training your mind.
