Hey sweet Olive, I’m back, and oh, do we have some catching up to do. In this short and sweet life update, I’m sharing why I’ve been a little quiet on the podcast and Instagram, what’s been stirring in my heart lately, and how the Lord has opened the door for a brand-new season. From moving states to stepping into a bold new calling as the Canyons Field Rep for Turning Point USA, I’m giving you the real-time behind-the-scenes of this God-appointed transition.

Let’s chat about obedience, overwhelm, and how sometimes the silence is where God is doing the most.

What if one of the most healing things you could do for your body… was step outside for two sacred minutes?

In this refreshingly unfiltered episode of The Olive Effect, Susie gets real about something that’s been quietly transforming her sleep, mood, and connection with God: sunning your punani (yep, we said it) and your booty too.

This isn't just a crunchy-girl trend. It’s about stewardship, grounding, and honoring your body in the most natural, God-designed way. From mood-boosting science to spiritual grounding, you’ll learn the benefits of daily sunlight on your most covered, tender places, and how to do it safely, modestly, and prayerfully.

With scripture, practical tips, and that signature Olive warmth, Susie reminds us that your body is not shameful, it’s sacred.

🌞 Learn how short, intentional sun exposure can:

• Increase energy, melatonin, and Vitamin D

• Support hormone balance and circadian rhythm

• Deepen your spiritual alignment and body confidence

This episode is your permission slip to reconnect with the rhythms of creation, without guilt, without shame, and always with grace.

✨ Because this is how Olive lives. With rhythm. Reverence. And radiant joy.

There’s a fire inside every faith-filled woman, a quiet strength that doesn’t scream, but storms the gates of Heaven. In this episode of The Olive Effect Unfiltered, Susie invites you into the sacred calling of becoming a prayer warrior wife, whether you're already married, preparing for your future husband, or interceding for your family, your friends, or your future.

This isn’t just about praying for someone, it’s about learning to fight for them in the spiritual realm. With biblical truth, practical steps, and Holy Spirit fire, Susie shares how to set the tone in your home, create a war room rhythm, and stand in the gap with power, peace, and unwavering trust.

💫 Inside this episode, you'll learn how to:

• Build a war room atmosphere and set the spiritual tone in your home

• Cover your husband or future husband in strategic, scripture-soaked prayer

• Pray with boldness, fast with intention, and war in the unseen

• Surround yourself with sisters who lift you up and sharpen your sword

• Live like your prayers actually change things, because they do

God is looking for women who don’t just cry about what’s wrong, but pray with fire until something changes.

Because this is how Olive lives, not passively, but powerfully.

She builds altars in her home, lifts holy hands, and goes to battle on her knees.

🔥 If you’ve ever wondered how to war in prayer for your man, your family, or your future, this is your episode.

What if the life you’re waiting for isn’t out there? What if it’s already in front of you, waiting to be seen through new eyes?

In this episode of The Olive Effect Unfiltered, we are stepping into sacred feminine confidence and talking about what it really means to romanticize your life. From choosing bubble baths over burnout to wearing pink just because it brings you joy, we are reminding you that beauty is not extra, it is biblical.

Susie explores the Fine China Principle, a powerful image of how we see ourselves and how God calls us to live. Are you treating yourself like you are disposable or divine? Because the way you view yourself affects every choice you make. How you date. How you dress. How you rest.

This episode is full of practical and heart healing ways to date yourself with intention, embrace biblical self worth, and stop waiting for your life to start. Jesus cherished women, honored them, restored their dignity, and He still does. Olive lives from that truth.

You will walk away with:

• Scripture soaked encouragement to honor your worth

• Joy filled rituals that turn ordinary days into sacred moments

• Powerful mindset shifts to help you stop settling

• Tender feminine ways to live like you are already loved because you are

This one is for the girl who is done being overlooked, even by herself.

Listen now and let’s start living like the main character in the story God is writing. Full of beauty. Full of boldness. Full of heaven sent joy. 💐

Have you ever asked, “How far is too far?” or felt stuck in a relationship you know isn’t honoring God, but you don’t know how to walk away? This episode is for the girl who’s been through it, felt the shame, asked the hard questions, and is ready to trade brokenness for freedom.

In this raw and redemptive conversation, Susie doesn’t tiptoe around the truth. She gets honest about purity, soul ties, and why sex outside of God’s design hurts more than it heals. We talk about the lies the enemy whispers, the loopholes we try to justify, and the loving boundaries God created to protect our peace and purpose.

If you’ve ever wondered what counts, what doesn’t, and whether you’re too far gone, this episode will remind you that God isn’t keeping score. He’s calling you home.

So often, we pray for an Ephesians 5 husband, a man who leads with Christlike love and strength, yet we forget that God is gently shaping us to become the kind of woman who can honor, nurture, and walk alongside such a man. It’s not about earning a husband; it’s about becoming a vessel that reflects Christ, no matter what season we’re in. 🌿

In this episode of The Olive Effect Unfiltered, we take a deep, tender look at Proverbs 31:10–31, a portrait of a woman after God’s own heart. Each verse uncovers the quiet strength, radiant beauty, and Spirit-filled diligence that marks a woman who is rooted in faith, living with purpose, and preparing her life for abundant Kingdom impact.

We’ll explore what it really means to be trustworthy, diligent, wise, kind, and strong, not by the world’s standards, but by God's design. Whether you are single, dating, engaged, or married, this episode will encourage you to step into your calling as a woman who is rare, faithful, and anchored in Christ.

🌸 Highlights include:

• ​ Why becoming "rare" is a gift to God, not just to a future husband
• ​ The beauty of living wisely and building your household with intention
• ​ How inner strength, resilience, and kindness are pillars of biblical femininity
• ​ 12 powerful traits of a godly wife, grounded in Scripture and real-life application

You are not behind. You are being prepared. Let’s become women who reflect His glory in every area of life. 💖

Scripture Focus:Proverbs 31:10–31 | James 4:7 | Proverbs 18:21 | Proverbs 14:1 | Ephesians 5:33 | 1 Peter 3:3–4

This episode wasn’t planned, it was prompted. Recorded at midnight with no script, no research, and no second guessing, this is one of the most passionate episodes I’ve ever shared. I didn’t hit record as a podcaster, I hit record as a daughter of God who’s been sitting with the weight and wonder of what it means to be a wife before the ring.

We’re diving deep into what it means to be found, not chased. Covered, not played with. Chosen, not confused.

Rooted in Proverbs 18:22 and Ephesians 5, this episode unpacks the 12 traits of a Godly husband, not from a place of fantasy, but from a place of faith. I’m talking about peace, protection, provision, prayer life, leadership, and that Psalm 23 kind of strength, rod and staff included. This one’s for the woman who knows her worth and wants to live like it.

No edits. No notes. Just the raw, real, midnight heart cry of a woman after God's own heart.

🎧 And stay tuned, the next episode is already on my heart:

Body Counts, Brokenness, and Becoming Whole Again — “Had Sex… Now What?”

We're going there. And we’re bringing healing with us.

In a culture that twists and tarnishes God’s beautiful design, the word submission often sparks fear, hurt, or misunderstanding. In this heartfelt episode of The Olive Effect Unfiltered, we're reclaiming the true, radiant meaning of submission as God intended, not as culture has distorted it.

If your heart needs healing, clarity, or a fresh perspective, this conversation is for you, dear sister. You are cherished, you are seen, and you are called to walk in the fullness of God’s beautiful, freeing design for your life and relationships. 🌿

Fasting is far more than a health trend or a willpower challenge, it is a sacred invitation woven throughout Scripture, calling us to draw nearer to the heart of God. In today's episode of The Olive Effect Unfiltered, we journey through the Old and New Testaments to uncover the deep spiritual roots of fasting, from Moses on Mount Sinai to Queen Esther’s bold petition and Jesus' time in the wilderness.

We’ll explore how fasting humbles our hearts, strengthens our spirit, and aligns us with God’s will. This is not just about abstaining from food — it’s about making space for prayer, repentance, reflection, and restoration. You'll also learn how fasting can bring beautiful physical blessings, like hormonal balance, cellular renewal, and reduced inflammation, reminding us how intricately God designed our bodies and souls to work in harmony.

Whether you're considering your first fast or looking to deepen your practice, this episode offers biblical encouragement, practical tips, and a gentle reminder that fasting is not about striving, but about surrendering, and being filled by the One who satisfies every longing. 🌿

Key Highlights:
• Biblical foundations of fasting (Old and New Testament)
• Why fasting is a powerful tool for spiritual growth and guidance
• Practical tips for Christ-centered fasting
• Health benefits of fasting: hormonal balance, fat burning, cellular repair, and more
