The Mixed Faith Relationship Podcast

In this episode, I’m talking about what it really means to be strong. I share a tender experience at church that reminded me that I don’t always have to have it together—and that sometimes strength looks like letting other people care for me. I’m talking about vulnerability, support, boundaries, rest, and allowing ourselves to receive the same Christlike love we so freely give to others.

In this episode, I’m talking about nervousness and what we often do when we or someone we love feels nervous. I’m exploring why we don’t always need to make the nervousness go away, and how we can respond in a way that creates more safety and connection.

Sometimes the most regulated thing we can do is say, “Not today.” In this short episode, I’m practicing what I preach, listening to my nervous system, and giving myself permission to take something off my plate.

Of course — here’s the cleaned-up version:

In this episode, I’m talking about the influence we have on the people around us—often in ways we don’t even realize. I’m sharing a simple reminder that the way we show up, the things we say, and the small choices we make can have a bigger impact than we realize. Your influence matters, even when you don’t see the results right away.

In this episode, I’m talking about transitions and the grace they require—even when the changes in our lives are good. I share what I’m learning as I navigate my own season of change and why it’s okay to feel excited, exhausted, grateful, and sad all at the same time. If life feels a little different right now, this episode is a reminder to give yourself time, compassion, and permission to find your footing.

In this episode, I talk about what happens when life feels unfamiliar and different—and how easily we can mistake “different” for “wrong.” From moving across the world to navigating different opinions, relationships, and situations, I explore how our nervous system responds to the unfamiliar and how we can get curious instead of critical. Different doesn’t have to mean wrong. Sometimes, different is exactly what makes life beautiful.

Sometimes I find myself thinking, “I can’t do this anymore.” In this episode, I share a reminder that has helped me shift that thought: You are already doing it. Life may not look pretty, and you may not love every minute of it, but you’re making it through. I talk about giving ourselves more credit, being kind to ourselves in the messy middle, and recognizing that even when we feel like we can’t do it, we often already are.

Here is the video I reference.

In this episode, I explore Spoon Theory and how it can help us understand our energy and capacity in a different way. I talk about why some days we simply have fewer “spoons” than others, and how recognizing our limits can help us practice more self-compassion, set realistic expectations, and make choices that support our well-being.

This episode is a little more personal. I'm sharing what it's really been like to pack up our lives, move across the world to Australia, and navigate all the excitement, uncertainty, and emotions that come with such a big transition. From the logistics to the nervous system lessons I'm learning in real time, I hope this conversation reminds you that even when life doesn't go according to plan, you can find your footing, build resilience, and create a sense of home wherever you are.

In this episode, I share my unforgettable whitewater rafting adventure and the nervous system lessons it taught me. I talk about fear, safety, and the tools that helped me move through anxiety and embrace the magic on the other side.

Sometimes we have to do it scared to experience the most beautiful parts of life.
