    87: Hope: The First Candle of Advent

    Welcome to The More Than Enough Podcast. Can you believe it’s already December? This month can feel like a whirlwind, but we’re leaning into something grounding and beautiful—Advent. Each week, we’ll reflect on one of the Advent candles and its meaning, giving you a peaceful reprieve amidst the holiday hustle. In today’s episode, we’re talking about Hope, the first candle of Advent, often called the Prophecy Candle. Hope is where it all begins—anchoring us in the promises of God and pointing us forward, just as the Old Testament prophets looked ahead to Jesus’ first coming. We’re reflecting on biblical hope as the certainty of God’s promises and how it sustains us, even in seasons of waiting on the seemingly impossible. Here’s what we dive into: The meaning of biblical hope: It’s not wishful thinking but the absolute certainty of God’s promises.Stories from Scripture: From Joshua’s bold faith to the inspiring story of Rahab and her "cord of hope."Praying for the impossible: Trusting God to breathe life into seemingly hopeless situations.Hope for the season: How leaning into Advent can shift our focus from busyness to the beauty of Jesus’ coming. As we enter this Advent season, we encourage you to reflect on the promises of God and the hope we have in Him—our anchor in every storm. “Advent is a season of waiting, but our whole life is an advent season—a season of waiting for the last advent, for the time when there will be a new heaven and a new earth.” – Dietrich Bonhoeffer We’re so grateful you’re here with us. Let’s journey through this season together, keeping our eyes fixed on the hope of Christ. Join us next week as we light the second candle and explore the theme of Peace.

    86: Grounded in Gratitude: What’s Been Life-Giving This Quarter

    Hey friends, welcome back to The More Than Enough Podcast! This week, as we prepare to gather around the table for Thanksgiving, we’re reflecting on what has been life-giving in this season. It's a practice we try to do every quarter—taking time to pause, look back, and see the threads of God’s goodness woven through our lives. And what better time to do this than Thanksgiving week? In today’s episode, my mom and I share the little and big things that have anchored and inspired us over the last few months. From finding beauty in routines and rhythms to leaning into relationships, hosting intentional moments, and even rediscovering the joy of good books, this conversation is all about celebrating what sustains us in the chaos and keeps our hearts grounded. As we move into the holiday season, we want to encourage you to reflect on what has been life-giving for you. What has kept you grounded? What has stirred your heart? It’s a beautiful practice to carry into December, as we prepare for Christmas and our upcoming Advent series. As you gather with loved ones—or even if your Thanksgiving looks a little different this year—we pray you feel God’s presence. May there be grace to embrace each moment, and may gratitude fill your heart as you reflect on the many blessings in your life. Thank you for joining us on this journey. We are so grateful for you, our podcast family. Have a very blessed and joy-filled Thanksgiving! Resources: Follow us on Instagram Join the email list Check out the website

    85: Attachment Styles Part Two: Steps to Move from Insecure to Secure Connections

    In this episode, we’re diving deep into the journey of attachment styles and what it means to grow toward secure, healthy connections. Last week, we introduced the four attachment styles—secure, anxious, avoidant, and disorganized—and explored why understanding these patterns matters. Today, we're picking up where we left off, with a focus on practical steps you can take to move from insecure to secure attachment in your relationships. Whether you've recently identified with an insecure attachment style or have known for a while, you might be wondering, "Can I change?" Here’s the good news: Yes, absolutely!!!! We believe that with intention, community, and God’s guidance, transformation is possible. We explore how surrounding yourself with people who model secure attachments, learning to recognize triggers, and inviting God into your healing journey can help build stronger, more grounded connections. In this conversation, we share insights on: Practical tips to bridge the gap from insecure to secure attachmentHow to recognize and gently challenge old patterns that no longer serve youWays to seek out positive influences and supportive relationshipsThe role of compassion, especially self-compassion, in healing past wounds If you’re ready to take small, purposeful steps toward growth, this episode is for you. We’re here cheering you on, reminding you that you don’t have to navigate this alone, and that meaningful change is ALWAYS possible. Let’s journey together, leaning on one another and trusting in God’s promise to transform our lives. Resources: Follow us on Instagram Join the email list Check out the website
