    Holiday Break & What’s Coming For 2026✨

    I wanted to pop in with a quick holiday update and share what The Freedom Table will look like as we head into the new year. I’ve taken an unplanned break this fall, and I decided to lean into it and rest through the holiday season. I’ll be back in January with our normal Thursday episodes, and I’m really excited about where we’re headed in 2026. The Freedom Table is all about breaking free from the systems that keep women small. In this episode, I’m sharing the six main themes we’ll be diving into next year — health and wellness lies, shame-based parenting, homeschooling pressure, spiritual legalism, manipulative marketing, and boundaries with toxic family members. If there’s a specific topic or situation you’d love for me to talk about in the new year, leave a comment on this episode and I’ll add it to the list. Thank you for listening, for sharing, and for letting me walk these things out in real time with you. I hope you have a very Merry Christmas and a peaceful holiday season. I’ll see you back here in January.

    When Purity Culture Follows You Into Marriage

    What happens when you do everything “right”… and it still doesn’t feel right? This episode digs into what purity culture didn’t tell us — and how those old messages still echo inside our marriages. If you’ve ever wondered why you can’t just “flip the switch” after years of being told to shut everything down, this one will hit home. It’s not about blame. It’s about finally understanding what happened — and finding freedom in the middle of it.

    They Have to Learn to Follow Rules and Be on a Schedule

    Today on The Freedom Table, we’re flipping one of the most normalized parenting beliefs on its head. We’ve been told that structure and strict schedules are what prepare kids for the “real world.” But the truth? The real world doesn’t reward blind obedience. It rewards adaptability, discernment, and self-awareness— and those things grow from trust, not control. In this episode, we’re uncovering where this belief even came from, why so many parents cling to it out of fear, and what the Bible and brain science actually reveal about freedom, peace, and responsibility. We’ll talk about the idol of control, the myth of “good routines,” and how to raise kids who can follow truth—not just rules. If you’ve ever wondered, “Am I being too lenient… or just finally letting God lead?” this one’s for you.

    If They’re Afraid of You, That’s Not Respect.

    We were taught that “respect” meant obedience. That a good parent had quiet kids who didn’t talk back and made us look put together in public. But what if that isn’t respect at all… what if it’s fear? In this episode, we flip the script on fear-based parenting and talk about what really happens when our kids obey out of fear instead of safety. We’ll dig into how pride and people-pleasing sneak into parenting, how culture confuses control with character, and why staying calm doesn’t make you weak — it makes you an anchor. If you’ve ever wondered why your child’s voice feels like defiance, or why staying gentle feels so hard, this one will bring clarity and healing. Because fear might control behavior for a moment… but love transforms it for a lifetime.

    It’s Not That You’re Weak—It’s That Your Body Thinks You’re in Danger

    If you’ve ever found yourself in the pantry at 10 p.m.—chips in hand, guilt flooding in—you’re not alone. Diet culture tells you it’s about willpower. But the truth? It’s about safety. In this episode of The Freedom Table, I break down the brain science behind cravings, late-night snacking, and why your body reaches for comfort food when the house gets quiet. You’ll learn why it’s not weakness, but survival—and how to rewire your brain toward real freedom. ✨ This isn’t about control. ✨ It’s about compassion. ✨ And it’s about finally hearing what your body is really asking for. Pull up a chair—let’s rewrite the story together.

    You Don’t Have to Climb the Ladder—There Isn’t One

    “You Don’t Have to Climb the Ladder—There Isn’t One” (The Lie of Spiritual Hierarchy and the Cost of Waiting to Be ‘Qualified’) Have you ever felt like you weren’t “spiritual enough” to be used by God? Like you had to wait your turn… earn your spot… or keep quiet until someone else decided you were “ready”? That’s not humility. That’s hierarchy. And it’s not the gospel. This conversation is all about breaking down the lie of spiritual ladders—the invisible systems that tell you God’s Spirit needs a gatekeeper. I’ll share some of my own experiences of being told I was “leading people astray,” and I’ll walk through what Scripture actually says about who can hear, speak, and lead in the Kingdom. You’ll hear: ✔️ The phrases legalism uses to keep you waiting ✔️ Why fear of “getting it wrong” isn’t the same as biblical humility ✔️ What the Bible actually says about who God calls and qualifies ✔️ How to stop waiting for permission and step forward in freedom The Kingdom doesn’t need your ladder. It needs your obedience.

    They Won’t Be Socialized

    “They Won’t Be Socialized” (Why true social development has nothing to do with sitting in a classroom all day) “If you homeschool, your child won’t be socialized…” We’ve all heard it. But what does socialization actually mean? Because if it means sitting silently in a row of 25 same-aged kids, raising your hand to speak, and learning to perform for popularity—then no wonder we’re all unlearning it. In this episode, I’m breaking down the myth of homeschool kids being “awkward,” calling out the fear underneath that belief, and showing you what true social development actually looks like. From neuroscience to real-life parenting examples to Scripture… You’re about to see why your child doesn’t need a classroom to learn social skills. They need connection. They need freedom. They need you. 🎤 Let’s walk in truth—and raise kids who can thrive in the real world.

    You’re Not Too Soft—You’re Breaking a Cycle

    You’re Not Too Soft—You’re Breaking a Cycle Gentle parenting isn’t weakness—it’s strength under control. In this episode, I dismantle the lie that harshness builds strong kids, showing how brain science and the example of Jesus reveal the power of presence over punishment. You’ll hear why apologizing to your kids isn’t giving up authority—it’s modeling humility. Because true authority doesn’t defend itself with pride; it expresses itself in love. Discover how choosing gentleness today plants a legacy of freedom for generations to come. Enjoy
