Are you sick and tired of feeling stuck in life? Do you constantly feel like you are trying to manage your responsibilities all at once as a mom, or wife only to be left completely exhausted by the end of each day? Do you deal with crippling fear & doubt that can invade your mind at any given moment and weighs you down mentally?

I remember the days where I was hiding behind the very things that were robbing me of all of my time and energy. I was crippled by fear of failure, the opinions of others and lacked major boundaries. I was operating in a lack mentality in my motherhood, overcommitted to things that weren’t fully serving me and not letting my husband in on my mind battles. Not to mention allowing my relationship with God to be on the back burner because hello- there was no time for that. That was a recipe for disaster that quickly led to burn out and frustration. It wasn’t until I realized that I was absolutely not alone, and so many other women were struggling with the same things that I began to be honest with myself. I have since been able to apply a framework in structuring my life that has changed everything for the better.

    147 | Stop Walking on Eggshells: How to Have Honest Conversations in Marriage with Cara Nitz

    Have you ever needed to have a hard conversation with your husband but found yourself overthinking how to even bring it up? Maybe you’re afraid you’ll hurt his feelings, make him defensive, start an argument, or create tension in your marriage so instead, you stay quiet, hold it in, or try to handle it yourself. In this episode of The Journey to Becoming Podcast, I’m talking with marriage and life coach Cara Nitz about the deeper roots of communication and what it looks like to have honest, healthy conversations in marriage. Cara shares her own marriage experience and the work she and her husband, Adam, have done together, offering practical insight for women who want to communicate more openly without falling into old patterns of people-pleasing, overfunctioning, avoiding conflict, or taking responsibility for someone else’s emotions. One of the biggest mindset shifts in our conversation is this: you are not responsible for another person’s feelings. That truth can be incredibly freeing when you’ve spent years managing other people’s emotions, walking on eggshells, or believing that keeping the peace means keeping your own thoughts and needs to yourself. And while we talk a lot about communication in marriage, these principles can transform the way you communicate in any relationship, with friends, family, coworkers, and the people you love most. In this episode, we talk about: How to start a difficult conversation with your husband • The connection between people-pleasing and communication • How overfunctioning can show up in relationships • Why you are not responsible for another person’s feelings • What healthy, honest communication can look like • What Cara has learned through her own marriage journey If you’ve ever thought, “I don't know how to say this without hurting his feelings,” this conversation is for you. You don’t have to choose between being honest and being loving. There is a healthier way to communicate and it starts by getting to the root of what’s happening within you.

    146 | When Your Season Changes: Emotional Health, Healing & Trusting God in the Next Season with Mandy Horne

    What if the season you're in isn't something you need to escape—but something God is inviting you to pay attention to? In this episode of The Journey to Becoming Podcast, Joy sits down with Mandy Horne, a Registered Nurse with 25+ years of experience, board-certified Health & Wellness Nurse Coach, and holistic nursing practitioner, for a powerful conversation about emotional health, holistic wellness, healing, and navigating life's seasons with God. After realizing in 2011 that traditional approaches to health weren't enough, Mandy began her own journey into preventative holistic wellness—and discovered a passion for helping women become the healthiest, fullest version of themselves at every stage of life. Joy and Mandy talk about emotional health, feeling overwhelmed or depleted, navigating seasons of transition, and the connection between our emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. Mandy also shares her Sacred Season Starter Kit, a resource designed to help women slow down, reflect on their current season, and move forward with greater clarity and intention. If you've been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like you're somewhere between who you were and who you're becoming, this conversation will remind you that you don't have to have the whole journey figured out. You can start by becoming present to the season you're in. In this episode: Why emotional health matters to your overall well-being • How to recognize when you're emotionally depleted • Navigating seasons of transition and change • The connection between emotional, physical, and spiritual health • How to become more intentional about the season you're in • Mandy's Sacred Season Starter Kit and how it can help you move forward GET MANDY’S SACRED SEASON STARTER KIT  JOIN US FOR VIRTUAL OPEN HOUSE 🥳 BECOMING A WOMAN OF VALUE FREE 5 DAY CHALLENGE 💗   Connect with me here:  WEBSITE: https://www.thejoyfulfitlife.com/

    145 | Financial Freedom Without Fear: What the Bible Says About Money, Investing & Retirement with Emily Scott

    What if you could stop feeling afraid, overwhelmed, or confused about money—and start managing your finances with wisdom, confidence, and vision? In this episode of The Journey to Becoming Podcast, Joy sits down with Emily of Financially Unbroken for an empowering conversation about financial literacy, faith, money mindset, investing, budgeting, and retirement planning for women. Together, they unpack what the Bible actually says about money and why we don't have to approach our finances from a place of fear. 2 Timothy 1:7 reminds us that God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind—and that applies to our finances too. Emily walks through the different stages of our financial journey, from budgeting and saving to investing and preparing for retirement, while challenging some of the messages society constantly sends us—like “girl math” and “treat yourself.” One of the biggest mindset shifts she shares is the difference between “earn” and “deserve.” What happens when we stop believing we deserve everything we want right now and instead learn to find fulfillment and reward in doing the work, building discipline, and earning what we're working toward? And when it comes to retirement, Emily asks a powerful question: “What am I retiring from—and what am I retiring to?” That question opens up a beautiful conversation about living with vision, purpose, and intention—not just during our working years, but in the years that come after. In this episode, you'll discover: What the Bible says about money and financial stewardship • How to manage your finances without fear • The financial stages of budgeting, saving, investing, and retirement • Why “girl math” and “treat yourself” can influence our spending habits • The mindset shift from “I deserve it” to “I earned it” • Why discipline and delayed gratification can actually create freedom • How women can begin building financial confidence and literacy • How to think differently about retirement and your future • The powerful question: “What am I retiring from—and what am I retiring to?” • How to create a financial future that aligns with your values, faith, and vision If you've ever felt intimidated by money, unsure where to start financially, or caught between wanting to enjoy your life today and wanting to prepare for tomorrow, this conversation is for you. Financial freedom isn't just about having more money. It's about having the wisdom, confidence, and vision to steward what God has entrusted to you—and build a future you're excited to live.   CONNECT WITH EMILY & HER RESOURCES HERE https://www.financiallyunbroken.com/ JOIN US FOR VIRTUAL OPEN HOUSE 🥳 BECOMING A WOMAN OF VALUE FREE 5 DAY CHALLENGE 💗   Connect with me here:  WEBSITE: https://www.thejoyfulfitlife.com/

    144 | Who Told You That? Uncovering the Lies About Your Identity & Replacing Them With God’s Truth with Lindsay Greear

    So often, we believe things about ourselves that we’ve carried for years — I’m not enough. I’m too much. I’m a failure. I’ll never change. I have to prove myself. And before we even realize it, those lies begin shaping the way we see ourselves, our relationships, our choices, and even our relationship with God. In this week’s episode of The Journey to Becoming Podcast, I’m sitting down with Lindsay Greear, author of Who Told You That? — Uncovering the Lies That Shape You and the Truth That Sets You Free. This conversation was SO powerful because Lindsay shares not only the heart behind her book, but the personal journey that led her to write it. With a background in therapy, Lindsay takes a unique approach to helping women identify the lies they’ve believed about themselves. She addresses each lie from a therapeutic perspective and then brings it back to the truth of God’s Word, helping us understand what Scripture says about who we really are. Because here’s the thing: you can’t become who God created you to be while continuing to operate from a false identity. In this episode, we talk about: ✨ The lies women commonly believe about themselves and their identity ✨ How our beliefs shape the way we live and make decisions ✨ What God’s Word says about who we really are ✨ How replacing lies with truth can change the way we live I hope this conversation encourages you to slow down and ask yourself: “Who told me that?” Because some of the things you’ve believed about yourself may not be the truth at all. And when you uncover the lie, you can finally begin to walk in the freedom that comes from knowing who God says you are. 🎧 Listen now and be encouraged to uncover the lies, embrace God’s truth, and continue becoming the woman He created you to be.

    Have you ever opened your Bible and thought, “I want to understand this, but I don’t even know where to start?” If studying the Bible feels intimidating, confusing, or overwhelming, this episode is for you. In this conversation, I’m joined by Angie Baughman, a licensed pastor, Bible teacher, and founder of Steady On Ministries. Angie created the Step By Step Bible study method, a simple and transferable approach designed to help women learn how to understand and study Scripture for themselves. Angie shares how her own journey of healing led her into a deeper love for God’s Word and how that passion became a calling to help other women discover the beauty, truth, and transformation found in Scripture. Together, we talk about: Why studying the Bible can feel intimidating—and how to move past that How Angie developed a passion for studying Scripture The difference between simply reading the Bible and actually studying it How to approach Scripture with confidence and curiosity Why you don't need to be a Bible scholar to understand God's Word The beauty of learning to hear, understand, and apply biblical truth for yourself How studying Scripture can deepen your relationship with God If you've ever thought “I wish I knew how to study the Bible” or felt like you weren't equipped to understand Scripture on your own, let this episode be your encouragement to start. You don't have to know everything before you open your Bible. You just have to be willing to begin.

    142 | Why You Can’t Lose the Weight: Getting to the Root Cause of Your Health with Amber Swift

    What if the extra weight, fatigue, stress, or other symptoms you’re experiencing aren’t the actual problem—but your body’s way of telling you something deeper needs attention? In this episode of The Journey to Becoming Podcast, I’m sitting down with Amber Swift, a Certified Integrative & Functional Nutrition Health Coach, to talk about what it really means to get to the root cause of your health instead of simply treating symptoms. Amber shares part of her own health journey and how years of chronic stress and trying the wrong approaches eventually forced her to slow down and prioritize her own health. We talk about why excess weight can be a symptom rather than the root problem, how stress impacts the body, and why taking a more holistic approach can help you finally understand what your body is trying to tell you. If you’ve been frustrated because you’re doing “all the right things” but still don’t feel your best, this conversation will help you look at your health through a completely different lens. In this episode, we talk about: Why excess weight can be a symptom of a deeper issue The importance of getting to the root cause of health challenges How chronic stress can impact your overall health Why more isn’t always better when it comes to detoxing and wellness How to start listening to what your body is telling you Taking your health seriously without becoming obsessed with it What it can look like to approach wellness from a more holistic perspective If you’re ready to stop chasing symptoms and start understanding your body on a deeper level, this episode is for you. 💗 CONNECT WITH AMBER JOIN US FOR VIRTUAL OPEN HOUSE 🥳 BECOMING A WOMAN OF VALUE FREE 5 DAY CHALLENGE 💗   Connect with me here:  WEBSITE: https://www.thejoyfulfitlife.com/

    140 | Holy Girl Summer Mini Series Part 9: Finish Strong: Living with Purpose After Holy Girl Summer

    After nine incredible weeks together, Holy Girl Summer may be coming to an end—but your journey is just beginning. Throughout this series, we've explored what it means to become the woman God created you to be by discovering your spiritual gifts, growing in obedience, and learning to steward what He's entrusted to you. But knowledge without action doesn't produce transformation. In this final episode, we're celebrating every woman who listened, leaned in, prayed, reflected, started something new, or simply took one faithful step forward. As Zechariah 4:10 reminds us: "Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin." Sometimes we think God is only pleased with the finished product. But Scripture tells us He rejoices when we simply begin. In this episode, you'll be encouraged to celebrate your progress, trust God with the small steps, and remember that faithfulness—not perfection—is what He asks of us. ✨ You'll also be challenged to complete one powerful sentence: "Because of Holy Girl Summer, I will..." This simple declaration is your opportunity to move from inspiration to implementation and to commit to one intentional next step in your walk with Christ. Whether you're beginning a new ministry, serving in your local church, strengthening your prayer life, or using your gifts in your home, workplace, or community, this episode will encourage you to keep saying "yes" to God's calling. Thank you for spending your summer with me. My prayer is that this series has helped you discover not only how God has gifted you, but also the courage to use those gifts to glorify Him and serve others. Remember, the best is still yet to come!  Keep taking your next faithful step.
