Friend, I know life doesn’t always feel like it’s moving in a straight line. Some seasons feel random, messy, or even wasted. But here’s the truth: God is weaving every single piece of your story together, your pain, your passions, your gifts, and even the hard detours, for His glory and your good. In this episode, I’m sharing how He connects the dots so you can see that nothing in your story is ever wasted.

In this final episode of the Patterns of Purpose series, I’m pulling everything together, purpose, pain, and passions, so you can see how God weaves them into a calling that glorifies Him. From the stories of Esther, Joseph, Moses, Mary, and Martha, we’ll see how God has always been in the business of connecting the dots. I’ll also share some of my own story, showing you how God redeemed pain, re-shaped passions, and used unexpected seasons to prepare me for the work I’m doing today. If you’ve ever wondered how your story fits into God’s bigger plan, this conversation will give you hope and clarity that He wastes nothing.

So many women long to know what their purpose really is, but often get caught up in chasing passions the world says will make them happy. The truth is, your gifts and passions were never meant to glorify you, they were designed to glorify God. When surrendered to Him, even the smallest skill or deepest desire can become a powerful tool for His kingdom.

In this episode, I’m sharing how God weaves your passions, natural talents, and spiritual gifts into His greater plan for your life. We’ll look at biblical examples like Bezalel, David, and Paul to see how God shapes and redeems gifts for His glory. I’ll also share some of my own story of how God shaped my love for words, counsel, and guidance into a calling I never expected.

You’ll learn the difference between natural talents vs. spiritual gifts, how to discern which passions are God-given, and how the enemy tries to twist your gifts for self instead of service. My prayer is that you walk away encouraged, knowing that nothing in your design is wasted, God has uniquely equipped you for His purpose.

What if the very places of pain in your life are not detours, but the very pathway God is using to draw you closer to Him?

Pain isn’t pointless, it’s purposeful. As Christian women, it’s easy to believe the lie that suffering means God has forgotten us. But the truth is, every trial, every loss, and every heartbreak can become part of your faith journey toward healing and wholeness. In this episode of The Reclaimed Woman Podcast, I’m sharing how God redeems suffering, restores broken places, and uses your struggles to deepen your spiritual growth.

Through the stories of Joseph, Job, and Paul, we’ll see how their struggles were redeemed for God’s glory. I’ll also share my personal story of healing from father wounds, how pain affected my marriage, and how God restored what the enemy meant for destruction.

✨ In this episode, you’ll learn:

Sister, your story doesn’t end in suffering. Romans 8:28 reminds us that “for those who love God all things work together for good.” Your Christian faith journey through trials is being woven into God’s eternal purpose.

From unexpected opportunities to repeated struggles, the threads in your story may be revealing more than you realize.

In today’s episode, I’m kicking off a brand-new series called Patterns of Purpose. We’re talking about the difference between your eternal purpose (to glorify God in all things) and your unique calling (the specific ways you live that out in different seasons of life).

I’ll share part of my own story, along with examples from Scripture, Joseph, Esther, and Paul, to show how God uses patterns, gifts, and even hardships to point us back to His plan. And I’ll give you practical steps for beginning your own Pattern Journal so you can start recognizing how God is at work in your life.

✨ In this episode, you’ll learn:

Friend, your life is not random. You were created on purpose, for a purpose. Ephesians 2:10 reminds us that “we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand.”

If you’ve been longing for clarity in your calling and want to uncover the patterns God has already woven into your story, this conversation will equip you to take your next step with confidence.

What if transformation isn’t about speed, but about rhythm? So many Christian women feel frustrated when change doesn’t come overnight. But the truth is, real spiritual growth and mind renewal come through daily surrender, consistent devotion, and the power of the Holy Spirit at work in you.

In this episode, I’m wrapping up our Break the Pattern , Renew the Mind series with a truth that’s not flashy but absolutely foundational: consistency. Renewing your mind isn’t about a one-time revelation or a spiritual quick fix, it’s about daily rhythm. I talk about why “microwave faith” won’t last, and how God grows us through steady, faithful steps over time.

I’ll walk you through simple, practical rhythms you can build into your life: Scripture before screens, speaking truth out loud, journaling the battle, worshiping even when it feels foggy, and inviting the Holy Spirit into your every day. I’ll also share how these habits have shaped my own walk with God and why sanctification is less about sprinting and more about staying the course.

If you’ve been longing for deep transformation but feel stuck in a cycle of quick starts and slow fades, this conversation will remind you that God’s not asking for perfection, He’s asking for your daily surrender.

So many of us carry labels, some given by others, some whispered by our own thoughts that make us feel stuck. Words like 'I’m not enough,' 'I’m too late,' or 'I’m invisible' play on repeat. But friend, those are lies, and they don’t define who you are.

In this episode of The Reclaimed Woman, we’re talking about the power of labels and why the enemy doesn’t get naming rights over your life. I’ll walk you through Matthew 4, where Jesus faced temptation in the wilderness, and show you how He fought back, not with self-help talk, but with the Word of God.

You’ll learn how to spot lies as they come, replace them with God’s truth, and begin living from the identity He has already spoken over you.

Here’s what we’ll cover:

Why labels like “too much” or “not enough” keep you stuck

How Jesus modeled protecting His identity in the wilderness

Simple steps to renew your mind through repentance and faith

Scripture truths you can declare over yourself every day

Have you ever felt guilty for wanting more out of life, even when it’s for a God-given purpose?

You can’t reclaim your purpose until you recognize the lies you've been agreeing with. Once you identify the belief, you can start to break the pattern, with the truth of God's Word.

In this episode, I’m kicking off a new series called Break the Pattern – Renew the Mind and diving into something that hits all of us at some point: limiting beliefs,  the kind of thoughts that quietly hold you back, even when you love Jesus and know the Word. I’m sharing five common lies many Christian women believe, where they come from, and how to replace them with truth. I’ll also open up about my personal struggle with money, how it affected my marriage, and the moment God called me out of that mindset. If you’ve been feeling stuck or second-guessing your worth, this one’s for you.

Sometimes it’s not what others say, it’s the quiet lies we start to believe about ourselves that hold us back. Lies that make us feel like we’re too late, not enough, or disqualified from what God has called us to do.

Have you ever felt guilty for wanting more out of life, even when it’s for a God-given purpose?

In this episode, I’m exposing five of the biggest lies Christian women believe  so you can finally break free from the mindset traps that keep you stuck, silent, and playing small. These lies may sound spiritual, but they are rooted in fear and distortion of truth. Together, we’ll uncover them, speak God’s truth over them, and walk forward in obedience and purpose. If you’ve been struggling with feeling not enough, scared, or unsure about surrendering to God, this episode will bring some clear, gospel centered encouragement.

Work With Me. Reclaim Your Voice and Walk Boldly in Your Calling.

Have you been hiding in the shadows, afraid to step into your calling?

Do you wonder if being bold as a woman of faith means being loud or rebellious?

Are you questioning whether God has really called you to lead, speak, or build?

In this episode, I’m sharing what “RISE” really means,not just a theme or mindset, but a personal and biblical call to step out of hiding and walk confidently in the authority God gives us. I talk about what true boldness looks like for women of faith, not being loud or bossy, but listening to God, obeying even when it’s hard, and showing up where He’s placed us. I’ll also share my own story, how surrender has shaped me, how God shifted my heart, and why I believe real femininity is a strong and beautiful thing when it’s fully surrendered to Him.
