In this week’s episode, Yaritza shares a heartfelt reflection on a recent conversation with her 18-year-old son, Jonathan—a moment that reminded her that all the love, sacrifice, and intentionality poured into her family truly matter. This meaningful exchange inspired her to revisit an incredible past conversation with author and speaker Kate Battistelli, who offers timeless wisdom for moms learning to rediscover themselves beyond motherhood.

Kate reminds us that “Mom is not your only name” and encourages mothers to faithfully embrace the season they’re in while also preparing their hearts for what comes next. Together, Yaritza and Kate explore:

If you’ve ever felt torn between motherhood and your personal dreams, this episode will remind you that both can beautifully coexist. God is working in your life right now, even in the small, ordinary moments.

In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into the power of your mind and your words.

Yaritza opens up about a dark season in her life and how God led her to healing and freedom through Joyce Meyer’s book, Battlefield of the Mind. You’ll hear how shifting her thoughts and speaking God’s truth out loud changed everything—from her mindset to her family life.

Together, we’ll talk about how our words shape our thoughts, our emotions, and even our reality. You’ll be encouraged to speak life over yourself and your circumstances, declare God’s promises, and fight back against negative thinking with the truth of His Word.

You are not alone, mama. You are strong, chosen, and equipped for joy. Let’s walk this journey together.

In this episode, Yaritza invites you to slow down and take a moment to pause, breathe, and reflect—especially as the month comes to a close. After attending a powerful women’s conference, she shares how God spoke to her through moments of stillness and reflection, revealing three profound lessons about hope, purpose in the dark seasons, and freedom from shame.

Through personal stories, biblical truths, and honest encouragement, this episode reminds you of the importance of stopping long enough to let experiences—and God’s voice—sink in. It’s a gentle but powerful call to stop rushing through life, to sit with God, and to let reflection transform the heart.

Mamas are encouraged to set aside intentional time with God—journal and coffee in hand—to ask meaningful questions like: What went well this month? What did God teach me? How can I grow next month?

Tune in for inspiration, truth, and a loving reminder that God is always speaking—you just have to stop and listen.

In today’s special episode, I’m bringing back one of the very first episodes I ever recorded, and it’s still one of my favorites! We’re diving into Proverbs 31 — yes, that woman — and what she can teach us about being a woman of strength, character, and purpose.

But don’t worry — this isn’t about being perfect. It’s about growing. I’m asking 3 powerful questions that challenge us to take a deeper look at our marriage, our mindset, and how we care for ourselves (yes, physically too). It’s real, it’s honest, and it’s full of hope.

In this episode, Yaritza dives into two powerful topics that will help stay-at-home moms live with more intention and joy.

First, she shares her personal journey from chronic indecisiveness to confident decision-making by leaning into her core values. With relatable stories (yes, even flipping coins at restaurants!) and practical tips, she explains how understanding your values can become your personal GPS when facing decisions — big or small. Listeners will walk away with clear steps to identify their own core values and use them as a filter for everyday choices.

Then, because it’s October 1st, Yaritza invites listeners to pause and reflect on the past month. Drawing from Psalm 105 and her own journaling practice, she encourages a time of intentional remembering—how God showed up, what prayers were answered, and what lessons were learned in September. Inspired by the Jewish tradition of lingering, she reminds us of the beauty and growth that comes from slowing down and creating space for God to speak.

This episode is both practical and spiritual—a beautiful balance for any mom who wants to grow, reflect, and live in alignment with what truly matters.
