In this episode, we're unpacking the essentials of boundaries and why they matter. I'm no stranger to the fact that everyone and their mom has a podcast about boundaries, but I'm answering a question I received on Instagram about how to set up appropriate boundaries with people who have broken trust with us.
HIGHLIGHTS:
What Are Boundaries?
Wisdom in Boundaries
Common Misconceptions:
In this episode, I share some of my own personal boundaries and unpack why and how I set them! Setting boundaries is all about clarity, safety, and creating space for love and connection in your life. Let’s get intentional with our limits and protect what matters most!

Hi friends! This episode is in response to a question I received on Instagram and it’s all about the art of holding space—creating a safe, non-judgmental environment where others feel truly heard and understood. It’s not about being the hero, but about being present for someone else.
HIGHLIGHTS:
- The Art of Listening: We’ll explore how to listen fully without trying to fix or judge. Empathy and silence are key tools, and I’ll share ways to validate and ask clarifying questions.
- Managing Your Own Emotions: Learn how to stay grounded while holding space, set boundaries, and debrief afterward.
- Holding Space Without Judgment: We discuss how to avoid bias, and the difference between empathy (connection) and sympathy (distance).
- Compassion vs. Codependency: We explore the fine line between supporting someone and taking on their emotional burden.
- Holding Space for Yourself: Don’t forget to care for your own emotional health after holding space for someone else.

In this episode, I share my journey from living in survival mode to building a thriving life. For years, I was stuck in a cycle of burnout, juggling multiple jobs, school, and personal challenges, all while neglecting my mental, physical, and spiritual health. In this episode, I share my personal experience of pushing myself to a breaking point — working late nights, relying on caffeine and other stimulants, and eventually facing the inevitable crash.
HIGHLIGHTS:
What is Survival Mode: A state where you're constantly focused on getting through the moment, often at the expense of your long-term well-being. This mode is triggered by prolonged stress or trauma.
Signs of Survival Mode: These include constant stress, difficulty concentrating, exhaustion, emotional numbness, reactive behavior, short-term thinking, hypervigilance, avoidance of challenges, poor self-care, and feeling stuck.
Practical Steps to Thrive: Moving out of survival mode requires developing self-awareness, building emotional resilience, recovering from burnout, finding purpose, designing a life you love, and recognizing the importance of community and connection.
Thriving is a lifelong journey. It's about showing up, owning your life, and making intentional choices every day.

Friends, this podcast episode is venturing off the notes I normally follow when I record a podcast and together, we are going to journey into some ponderings in my heart this season and some things I'm chewing on.
As I transition into a different season, my kids are growing up and God is doing a new thing in my heart that feels unclear and vulnerable. God is the God of growth and if we're not transitioning in life, we're not growing.
I've learned a lot in my journey of motherhood -- it's the season where I learned how to dream and where I watched God fulfill so many dreams in my heart that I never thought would happen. But because of these years, I'm in a space where I'm dreaming new dreams and it's SO VULNERABLE.
I hope this episode encourages you to stay on the course of your dreams in this season. You're exactly where you're supposed to me. Wait and watch -- He will come through for your dreams. I promise.

In this episode, I reflect on Proverbs 4:23, emphasizing the importance of guarding our innermost being, as it influences every aspect of our lives—our thoughts, emotions, beliefs, and actions. What’s happening inside of us will inevitably show up in how we live and walk out our lives.
HIGHLIGHTS:
- Knowledge vs. Understanding: I explore the difference between knowledge—knowing God’s truths—and understanding—applying those truths in meaningful ways. Knowledge alone isn’t enough; we must also cultivate understanding to break free from destructive cycles and patterns.
- The Body: How are you caring for your physical health? Consider your diet, exercise, sleep, and the impact of stress or addictions on your well-being.
- The Soul: Reflect on your thoughts, emotions, and choices. Are there unresolved pains or unhealthy cycles keeping you stuck? Inner healing, forgiveness, and emotional regulation are crucial for a healthy soul.
- The Spirit: Your spirit is your life force, and it needs to be strengthened by God. Are you staying connected to Him through prayer, Scripture, and worship?
Scriptures Referenced:
I want to encourage you to be mindful of who and what you allow into your life. Small, daily choices matter—don’t compromise. Let’s commit to creating and nurturing a healthy ecosystem where we can truly thrive in every area of our lives.
This is a pre-recorded Q+A from my private community, Thrive Collective. Thrive is my community and heart education membership exclusively designed for women who are living in survival mode and want to thrive in every season of their life.
I put out a thread in our private Facebook group that said "Ask me anything," and these are some of the questions I'm answering:
How do I create healthy attachments with my kids?
How do I not pass on unhealthy, generational things to my kids?
How do you feel about medication for depression/anxiety?
How do I move truth and belief from my head to my heart?
…and more!

I'm so excited to share all about our recent Thrive Retreat, which took place from August 1st to 3rd. This was our very first in-person retreat, and it was so incredible that I just want to give you a sneak peek into the weekend!
From the moment we gathered, we instantly connected hearts and we spent the weekend together, not just as participants, but as a family united in our pursuit of freedom and breakthrough. It was truly special to finally meet face-to-face after connecting online for so long.
Throughout the retreat, we dove deep into our inner healing journeys, supported each other through powerful speakers and sessions, and experienced significant personal breakthroughs. The connections we made were profound, as we shared our stories, our struggles, and our victories.
In this episode, I'll be sharing some of the highlights from the retreat, the incredible transformations we witnessed, and how this experience has reignited our passion for living freely and fully. Whether you were there with us or you're hearing about it for the first time, I hope this episode inspires you to seek your own moments of breakthrough and connection and perhaps, join our community and come to our next retreat!
So, grab a cup of your favorite beverage, settle in, and let's dive into the magic of the Thrive Retreat!

In part III of my series on pain and how we heal from our past, I delve into practical tools and steps for healing emotional pain and cultivating a healthier life. I break down 8 different keys to healing our pain and provide practical and actionable steps for each.
HIGHLIGHTS
We must first become aware of what is going on inside of us that isn’t producing the results we want in our lives.
Self-awareness is meaningless if we aren’t willing to be honest about our past, present, and future.
Accepting who we are in this moment, with all our shortcomings, is crucial for making powerful choices towards healing and growth.
We can drive change in my life by identifying areas for improvement and developing strategies to address them.
By validating our past experiences, we heal and gain perspective, allowing us to let go of old beliefs and create new ones.
Part of healing is reclaiming the parts of ourselves that we rejected due to fear, integrating them back into who we are.
Forgiveness involves releasing the hold others have on us due to their actions, allowing us to move forward and heal.
I hope you’ve enjoyed this series on pain and healing!
HOW TO CONNECT WITH ME:
In this episode, I explore what healing truly means and the sources of our pain. The goal is to achieve an abundant life as mentioned in John 10:10. Healing involves confronting and overcoming the pain from trials we face, as noted in John 16:33, and not letting it dictate our lives.
HIGHLIGHTS:
Effects of Unhealed Pain:
- Feelings: Disappointment, shame, guilt, anxiety, depression, hopelessness, powerlessness.
- Beliefs: "I'm not good enough," "It'll always be this way," "It doesn't matter how hard I try."
- Behaviors: Addictions, people-pleasing, codependency, escaping behaviors, disconnection.
How Do We Process Past Pain?:
- Triggers: Indicate unhealed pain and help point us to areas of our life where we don’t yet have freedom.
- Childhood Pain: Unresolved childhood experiences can manifest as trust issues, low self-esteem, and codependency. Healing requires processing wounds, setting boundaries, and creating values.
- Past Relationships: Toxic relationships impact self-worth and trust. Healing from these relationships involves reparenting and creating new experiences in relationships.
- Negative Self-Perception: Internalized negative beliefs from childhood affect our adult decisions. We can heal through externalizing our experiences and cognitively restructuring our beliefs and narratives.
- Stress and Burnout: Chronic survival mode leads to burnout and we have to learn the symptoms of stress and burnout and align our actions with our values
