Are you overwhelmed? Is your life not what you hoped it would be? Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired? Then I hope you'll join me in this journey of finding true hope and joy in the midst of the circumstances of life and learning and knowing who you really are!

    Just Show Up

    Just Show Up

    In this episode, I share where I've been and what I've been up to over the past couple of months. God has called me into a season of rest—of being a Mary instead of a Martha—and I hope it will encourage you in whatever season you find yourself right now.

    Dealing with Emotional Triggers

    Dealing with Emotional Triggers

    I'm back again with a new episode on dealing with emotional triggers. We can't control what others say to us or how they treat us, but we can control how we respond to them. We need to deal with our emotions in a healthy way, and I hope today's episode will encourage you to find ways to do that.

    How to Look at Life through the Right Lens

    How to Look at Life through the Right Lens

    What is in your life that is hindering a deeper walk with the Lord? Jesus died a brutal death so we could experience a life of freedom and victory, but we often let a wrong perspective keep us from experiencing all He has in store for us. In this episode, I hope to encourage you to believe what God says about you and view your life in light of His truth!

    Embracing the Father's Love for Me

    Embracing the Father's Love for Me

    In this episode I want to walk you through the identity crisis I experienced while we were living in Hilton Head, SC, and the diagnosis I received as we were in the process of moving to Greenville, SC. God's faithful love was with me at every point along the way, and once I embraced that love, it changed me as a wife, a mother, and a child of God.

    Husband in the Hot Seat

    Husband in the Hot Seat

    I'm so excited that my husband, Brett, was willing to join me for this special interview episode and share what things were like from his perspective when we finally started living the way God had called us to live. He shares how our financial struggles impacted him as the breadwinner of the family and how God faithfully provided for us when we needed it most, and we discuss the role Christian counseling and community played in helping us get not just our finances but also our marriage in a much healthier place.

    Turning Point

    Turning Point

    Everything in our life looked good from the outside, but behind the scenes, things were on the verge of falling apart. Thankfully, God was still pursuing us, and this week, I want to share how he used different people and circumstances in our life to get us on the right track and draw us back to Him.

    Thank you for joining me on this journey!
