This week, I’m sharing a personal, process-oriented episode instead of my typical teaching-based episodes. I don’t have all the answers, but I do know this is an essential part of living an abundant life: grieving and letting go of old seasons

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS

Life in God is full of seasons, and each season shapes who we are becoming. But with new seasons come new assignments and the vulnerability of stepping into the unknown.Sometimes we resist letting go of an old season because it’s familiar and comfortable. Other times, we’re so eager to move forward that we forget to grieve what we’re leaving behind. Either way, it’s critical to grieve well so we can fully embrace what’s ahead.

In this episode, I share chunks of my story and how I’ve learned how to move through different seasons in God to where I’m constantly moving from glory to glory and towards what He’s called me to do. 

I dive into several key ways to transition from one season into the next:

Transitioning into a new season is hard because it requires leaving behind what’s familiar and trusting God with what’s next. There’s tension between the old and the new, but we can choose to trust His leadership and say yes to the process.

When you step into a new season, you may feel unqualified or unsure. But God doesn’t call us based on who we were—He calls us based on who we’re becoming.

In this episode, I explore what it means to connect with your authentic self—the true essence of who you are, beyond labels, roles, and external expectations. I dive into the psychological concept of the false self, a version of yourself you create to seek love, approval, or attachment from others, often at the expense of your true identity.

Drawing from Gabor Maté’s work on attachment and trauma, I discuss how the need for connection can sometimes make us abandon our real selves in favor of performing a version that fits in or is more accepted by others. I also touch on tools like the Enneagram, Myers-Briggs, and DISC that help us understand ourselves better, but we emphasize that being true to yourself is ultimately about inner honesty.

Activation Questions:

Choosing authenticity every time can lead to greater peace, self-acceptance, and personal growth. It’s a journey of peeling back the layers to reveal the true you.

I love the New Year! It's a time for fresh starts, but let's be real, most resolutions fizzle out by February. Why? Often, we lack clear direction. We focus on the 'what' (lose weight, get organized) without the 'why'." In this episode, I offer a fresh perspective on getting vision for your new year that goes beyond goals and intentions.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

I hope you find this episode encouraging and that you feel inspired to take on your new year with purpose and vision. See you in 2025!

In this episode, I’m breaking down the daily, weekly, and yearly rhythms I use to simplify life, reduce stress, and create space for the things that matter most. You’ll want to listen to the episodes to get some good ideas for how to do it yourself, but here’s how I structure my life to stay grounded, intentional, and aligned with my priorities:

Daily:

Weekly:

Quarterly & Yearly:

These rhythms aren’t perfect, neither am I, but they allow me to show up in a way that aligns with my values, supports my family, and keeps me from feeling overwhelmed. Let’s dive into how you can create rhythms that work for your life!

Life moves in seasons, and each season has a purpose. Ecclesiastes 3 reminds us that there’s a time for everything under heaven. I this episode, my goal is to help you navigate spiritual seasons with wisdom and intention, so you can embrace the growth, rest, or pruning that comes with each one.

Core Truths for Every Season:

Winter: Waiting Well

Key Takeaway: Winter may feel dormant, but it’s preparing you for a new season of growth.

Spring: Guarding Growth

Key Takeaway: Spring is about preparing the soil and nurturing small beginnings for long-term growth.

Summer: Nurturing Growth

Key Takeaway: Growth thrives with consistent care and intentionality, even in seasons of abundance.

Fall: Time for Harvest

Key Takeaway: Fall is about gratitude, reflection, and savoring the fulfillment of God’s promises.

Every season serves a purpose. Whether you’re in the quiet of winter, the newness of spring, the flourishing of summer, or the harvest of fall, God is with you, guiding you, and growing you. Trust Him in every season and embrace what He’s teaching you.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the blocks that keep us from fully loving ourselves and sharing practical tips to move from intention to action. We’ll explore fear, shame, trauma, and how to replace those walls with God’s truth. Plus, you’ll learn how your words and thoughts shape your reality and how to align with the person God made you to be.

In this episode, I share how to move through a hard season well. Hard seasons are inevitable – the Bible says it rains on the just and the unjust.

I want to give you practical and actionable tools and steps to engage in a hard season while still showing up in it.
