How many times have you said, “One day…”?

One day I’ll step out.
One day I’ll lead.
One day I’ll start.
One day I’ll believe I’m capable.

But what if believing bigger doesn’t start someday?

What if it starts today?

In this powerful kickoff episode of Women Around the Well, Jenna launches the very first devotional study walking through Believing Bigger by Marshawn Evans Daniels.

We are beginning this study on February 14th — Valentine’s Day — because we cannot love others well until we understand who we are and how deeply we are already loved by God.

This episode is a loving call forward.

It’s about:

• Why “someday” keeps us stuck
• How playing small often disguises itself as humility
• Why believing bigger is an act of obedience
• And how today’s decision changes everything

If you’ve felt the nudge… the stirring… the quiet knowing that God has more for your life, your family, your church, your community, and even your business — this is your invitation.

Believing bigger doesn’t begin when life feels perfect.

It begins with a decision.

And that decision is made today.

No more someday faith.

We start now.

If Quarter One has you questioning your pace, your progress, or your purpose—this episode is for you.

Somewhere along the way, women in leadership were sold the lie that exhaustion equals obedience, that hustle proves faithfulness, and that burning out is just “part of the calling.” But here’s the truth: God never asked you to self-destruct to serve Him well.

In this powerful and hope-filled episode of Women Around the Well, we’re confronting hustle culture head-on and replacing pressure with purpose. You’ll hear honest stories, biblical encouragement, and 6 truth-filled reminders every female leader needs as she steps into a new year.

This episode will help you:

• Release the belief that being busy makes you more spiritual

• Reclaim rest as a God-given rhythm, not a reward

• Simplify your focus without guilt

• Lead with clarity instead of comparison

• Build sustainably without losing your soul

• Trust that quiet seasons don’t mean you’re behind

If you’re tired, overwhelmed, or secretly wondering if this pace is what God intended—take a deep breath. You’re not failing. You’re being invited into a better way.

Because exhaustion is not a spiritual gift… and you were never meant to carry this alone.

💛 Grab your coffee, open your heart, and let’s reset Quarter One—together.

What happens when you’re fighting for your own health—and grieving the loss of someone you love at the same time?

In this deeply honest episode of Women Around the Well, Jenna sits down with longtime friend and health coach Gina Russo to talk about healing, cancer, loss, and discovering purpose in the middle of the storm—not after it has passed.

Shaped by her own cancer journey and ongoing health challenges, and marked by the loss of a loved one during that season, Gina shares what it looks like to hold grief and healing at the same time. Together, Jenna and Gina explore how faith, metabolic health, movement, and prevention can support the whole woman—physically, emotionally, and spiritually—when life feels overwhelming.

This conversation is for the woman navigating illness while carrying grief. For the one trying to stay strong while her heart is breaking. For anyone wondering how God can still bring purpose and calling out of seasons that feel unfair and heavy.

As you listen, let this be your invitation to slow down and give yourself grace. To tell the people you love that you love them—often and out loud. To watch for the God winks, the quiet reminders that He sees you and is walking with you even now.

You are never alone. He is with you always.

Pull up a chair at the well. You don’t have to carry this alone.

Don’t Waste the Wine: What’s In Your Cup When Life Shakes You?

Life will shake you — that part is guaranteed.

The real question is: what spills out when it does?

In this episode, we unpack a powerful analogy that reveals what’s really been filling our hearts. When a cup spills, it’s not because of the bump — it’s because of what was already inside. And when life applies pressure, it doesn’t create what comes out of us… it reveals it.

We’ll talk about what tends to spill under stress — joy or frustration, peace or bitterness — and why pretending we’re fine isn’t the goal. Intentional filling is.

Then we take it even deeper with Jesus’ words about new wine and old wineskins, and why God won’t pour new purpose, peace, or growth into hearts that are still holding onto old mindsets, unforgiveness, or past wounds. Not because He’s withholding — but because He’s protecting what’s precious.

God is too good to waste the wine.

This episode is an invitation to pause and ask two brave questions:
What’s in my cup?
And am I willing to become a new wineskin for what God wants to pour next?

If you’re craving renewal, growth, and a fresh filling — this one’s for you. ☕️🍷

Get ready to laugh, cry, and leave feeling wildly encouraged. This week on Women Around the Well, I’m joined by the absolutely radiant Kirsy Rodriguez — a social media influencer who uses humor, honesty, and a whole lot of joy to point people straight to Jesus.

Diagnosed with a spinal cord tumor at just 9 years old and becoming wheelchair-bound after surgery at 12, Kirsy’s life hasn't been a smooth path, she's had plenty of bumps in the road along the way.. But here’s the thing… God wasn’t surprised. And neither was His plan.

Kirsy rolls through life with contagious laughter, unshakable faith, and a joy that can only come from knowing Jesus deeply. She shares her powerful testimony of overcoming obstacles, navigating life with a disability, and choosing joy — not because life is easy, but because God is faithful.

This episode is full of humor, hope, and holy perspective. You’ll laugh out loud, be reminded that your circumstances don’t disqualify your calling, and walk away or roll away knowing — deep in your bones — that you are made on purpose for a purpose.

Friend, don’t miss this one. God really does have a great plan for your life… and Kirsy’s story is here to remind you of that today. 💛 follow her for more inspiration and fun @therollingchica over on instagram

New year… same grace.

If you’ve ever started January full of motivation only to feel discouraged by February, this episode is for you. We’re talking about why New Year’s resolutions so often fall apart (hint: it’s not a character flaw), what National Quitters Dayreally reveals, and how shifting from pressure-filled resolutions to intentional, grace-based habits can change everything.

In this encouraging and fun conversation, we’ll unpack:

• Why resolutions don’t stick—and why that’s not a “you” problem

• How to set SMART goals that are realistic, life-giving, and sustainable

• The power of small habits (yes, even making your bed)

• Why the way you do one thing is often the way you do everything

• How faith, consistency, and grace work together for lasting change

You’ll also hear book recommendations like Atomic Habits and Make Your Bed, plus a gentle challenge to do one small thing today that supports the woman God is shaping you to be.

What do you do when everything you were known for is suddenly taken away—and the future you imagined no longer exists?

In this deeply moving and hope‑filled episode, Kristy Barkley shares her Marathon of Miracles—a testimony that unfolds one surrendered day at a time. After a debilitating brain injury, Kristy was told she would be forced to retire, lose her independence, and eventually live in assisted care in her early 40s. A high achiever, a mother of four, and the wife of a working, traveling husband, her world came crashing down all at once.

What followed was a season marked by profound loss, identity crisis, and despair—including a moment when Kristy attempted to take her own life. But God.
In the darkest place, the Lord showed up clearly and personally, speaking words that changed everything: “I’m not done with you yet.”

In this extremely heartfelt conversation, Kristy shares how she learned that her identity was never tied to what she did, but to who she is in Christ—and how that truth became the foundation of her healing. You’ll hear how God restored her clarity, vision, passion, and purpose, miracle by miracle, step by step… until the woman once told she would never live independently again is now fully running marathons today.

This is not a story of instant healing—it’s a story of obedience, perseverance, faith, and a God who keeps showing up. Kristy’s journey is honest, inspiring, and filled with hope for anyone who feels sidelined, stuck, or tempted to believe their best days are behind them.

What happens when your body gives out... but your spirit refuses to quit?

In this powerful Season 3 opener, LeeAnn Britton joins us to share her raw and redemptive journey—from being completely bedridden and dependent on others for daily tasks, to discovering a deeper strength in surrender. This isn’t a conversation about instant healing or easy answers—it’s about what it really looks like to survive the hard days, accept help (even when it’s humbling), and let God rebuild what life has broken.

LeeAnn opens up about the quiet miracles that came in unexpected places—how being still taught her to hear God's voice more clearly, and how restarting her life became less about striving and more about trusting. Together, we talk about:

💔 Learning to receive care without shame
🌱 Finding purpose in seasons that feel like pause
🕊️ Walking out healing one day at a time—with patience, grace, and hope
🔥 Why restarting isn’t failure—it’s formation

But that’s not where her story ends—today, LeeAnn is thriving in ways she never imagined. Restored and renewed, she’s now walking in her God-given calling, helping other women find freedom, healing, and hope—right in the middle of their own wilderness.

As we step into a new year, this episode is a holy reminder that being laid low doesn’t mean being left behind. Sometimes, the rebuild is the breakthrough. And your story—yes, your story—is still being written with purpose.

You are not broken beyond repair. You are being rebuilt, beloved. One surrendered day at a time. 💗

This week on Women Around the Well, Jenna sits down with Kelly Collins Linz—a woman whose life beautifully embodies courage, creativity, and calling. With over 30 years in the entertainment industry, Kelly has worn many hats: actress, wife, mother of four, and now screenwriter—adding storyteller to her list of faith-fueled achievements.

In this heartfelt conversation, Kelly opens up about what it means to redefine what’s possible—for herself and for others—by creating with purpose and stepping out in faith. As a Christian woman in Hollywood, she shares honestly about how she’s navigated the highs and heartaches of the industry while raising four children who followed in her creative footsteps. Together, they explore what it looks like to walk with your kids through the spotlight without losing sight of your Savior.

Kelly also gives us a behind-the-scenes look at her newest project, Able: The Movie—the inspiring true story of Kayla Kosmalski, a young woman with Down Syndrome who is breaking glass ceilings and showing the world that we are all more than able when we let God write the script.

✨ This episode is a powerful reminder that faith and creativity were never meant to compete—they were meant to collide.

What happens when science meets surrender… and faith meets functional medicine?

In this hope-soaked conversation, Lisa Tarantino, a Radical Remission Cancer Coach and Certified Functional Nutrition Counselor, sits down with us to talk about what it means to heal from the inside out—spirit, soul, and cell.

Lisa shares the radical remission principles that changed her life, the power of nutrition in supporting the body’s God-designed ability to heal, and how faith plays a central role in lasting wellness. From her work with the Annie Appleseed Project to her heart for integrative oncology, Lisa offers both wisdom and warmth for anyone walking through a diagnosis or standing beside someone who is.

Whether you’re on your own healing journey or simply craving deeper wholeness, this episode will remind you that God is still in the healing business—and sometimes, He uses both prayer and plants to get us there. 🌿✨
