    116 | Beauty From Ashes: Grief, Soul Healing, and Life After Losing Her Husband with Kari Davis

    In this powerful episode of The Journey to Becoming Podcast, Joy sits down with Kari Davis to share her deeply moving story of faith, grief, healing, and restoration. Kari’s life changed suddenly when her husband suffered a devastating brain hemorrhage, leaving her widowed with three young children. In the midst of overwhelming grief, uncertainty, and heartbreak, Kari had to navigate not only the pain of loss but the responsibility of leading her family forward. Yet through that painful season, God began reminding her of something she never expected — that she was still allowed to dream again. Today, Kari shares how God walked with her through the process of doing the necessary “soul work” to heal her mind, will, and emotions. Through intentional healing, faith, and surrender, Kari experienced profound restoration. She is now remarried and part of a beautiful blended family, living proof that God truly does bring beauty from ashes. Kari now has a heart for encouraging women who have experienced grief, heartbreak, or loss to lean into the healing process and trust that God is still writing their story. ✨ In this episode, we talk about: • Navigating the sudden loss of a spouse • Processing grief while raising young children • The importance of doing the deep soul work required for healing • Learning to dream again after devastating loss • How God restores broken places and creates beauty from ashes • Finding hope and purpose after grief If you’ve experienced loss, heartbreak, or a season that changed your life unexpectedly, this conversation will remind you that healing is possible and restoration is part of God’s story for you. Your pain is not the end of your story. God is still writing something beautiful.

    115 | Joy in Suffering: Finding Hope, Healing, and Purpose After Loss with Kirby Kelly

    How can joy and suffering exist at the same time? And what does it look like to continue living fully for God after experiencing deep loss? In this powerful episode of The Journey to Becoming Podcast, Joy sits down with speaker, author, and ministry leader Kirby Kelly to talk about grief, hope, and the redemptive way God weaves our stories together. Kirby shares insights from her book The Fabric of Hope, where she paints the beautiful picture of God restitching the broken pieces of our lives like a tapestry. Through honest conversation, Joy and Kirby explore why our scars and stories don’t have to be hidden to be redeemed—and how God can transform pain into purpose. Together they discuss the reality of losing loved ones at different stages of life, processing grief with faith, and choosing to honor the legacy of those we’ve lost by continuing to live boldly for God. Rather than allowing grief to keep us stagnant, this conversation reminds us that healing can lead to breaking generational strongholds and stepping into the calling God has for our lives. Kirby Kelly is a speaker, author, podcast host, and content creator based in Dallas, Texas who has spent over a decade using digital platforms to equip and encourage a global audience with the truth of the Gospel. With degrees in Communication, Biblical Studies, and Theology, she blends theological depth with cultural relevance through her podcast Bought + Beloved, social media platforms, and books including You Can Be Free and The Fabric of Hope. Her heart is to see this generation live saved, set free, and sent into their God-given calling. ✨ In this episode, you’ll discover: • How joy and suffering can coexist in the Christian life • Why God doesn’t waste our pain but redeems our stories • How to process grief after losing a loved one • The importance of honoring legacy by continuing to live fully for God • How healing can help break generational patterns and strongholds If you’ve ever wrestled with grief, questioned God in a difficult season, or wondered how to move forward with hope after loss, this conversation will encourage you deeply. 🎧 Tune in to be reminded that God is still weaving hope into your story—even in the places that feel broken.

    114 | Discipline & Purpose for Christian Women: Why God Is Calling You Higher This Season

    Are you already tempted to quit on the goals and dreams you were so excited about in January? By March, motivation fades. Discipline feels heavy. The vision doesn’t feel as shiny anymore. In this episode of The Journey to Becoming, I share a powerful story from when my husband played minor league baseball and what it meant to be “called up” to the next level. Players weren’t called up randomly. They were called up because someone saw the potential in them. They had demonstrated growth. They had proven they were ready for more. And as believers, we are called to a higher standard too. The Apostle Paul says in 1 Corinthians 11:1, “Follow me as I follow Christ.” That is not a passive invitation — it is a call to spiritual maturity, discipline, and stewardship. In this episode, we talk about: Why so many people quit by March The difference between goals and standards What it truly means to be “called higher” as a Christian woman Raising your discipline, integrity, and emotional maturity Why excellence isn’t about ego — it’s about bringing glory to God Calling you higher doesn’t mean hustle culture or burnout. It means obedience. It means stewardship. It means refusing to settle for mediocrity in the areas God has entrusted to you. There is potential inside of you. The question is — will you rise to meet it? This episode is your March reset. If you’re ready to stop shrinking back and start stewarding your life for God’s glory, this conversation will challenge and encourage you.

    113 | Are You Treating Clarity Like Your Morning Coffee? (Why You’re Still Stuck Waiting on God)

    In this special episode, we’re celebrating 2 years of The Journey to Becoming podcast. 🤍 Thank you for showing up for yourself every week, applying what you’re learning, and sharing this show with the women in your life who need encouragement and truth. This community would not be what it is without you. After celebrating, we dive into a powerful conversation about clarity. Have you ever said, “I just need clarity” before taking action? What if you’re treating clarity like your morning coffee — believing nothing can happen until you have it? In this episode, we talk about: Why God rarely gives the full plan How clarity is usually about the next step, not the whole picture The ways we create our own confusion by waiting for certainty How obedience reveals direction And how to identify what God is already asking of you Scripture tells us that God’s Word is a lamp unto our feet — not a spotlight for our entire future. If you’ve been waiting for total clarity before moving forward, this episode will challenge and encourage you to trust God with the light you’ve already been given. You don’t need the full blueprint. You need the courage to take the next step. If this episode blesses you, share it with a friend and continue walking this journey with us.

    111 | 3 Hidden Habits Killing Your Momentum (And How God Is Calling You Forward)

    Have you ever felt like you’re doing all the right things, yet you still feel stuck, unmotivated, or like your momentum has quietly stalled? In this episode of The Journey to Becoming, we’re talking about three hidden, often overlooked things that are killing your momentum and keeping you from stepping fully into the life and purpose God has for you. These aren’t obvious sins or loud distractions. They’re subtle patterns—ways of thinking and living that feel normal, even responsible—but slowly keep us from growing, moving forward, and trusting God with our next step. In this episode, we unpack: • Isolation disguised as independence: when self-reliance replaces community and we stop allowing others to support, challenge, and walk with us • Waiting for the “perfect moment” to celebrate: delaying joy, gratitude, and reflection because we believe we’re not “there yet” • Comparing ourselves to a past version of who we used to be: letting yesterday’s capacity, seasons, or expectations define what we believe is possible today Momentum isn’t just about productivity—it’s about alignment. When these unseen habits take root, they quietly steal clarity, confidence, and obedience. We may want to move forward, but we’re still living anchored to the past or waiting for conditions that may never be perfect. Here’s the truth: God is not speaking to you from where you’ve been, He is always calling you from where you’re going. He speaks from your future, inviting you to grow, stretch, trust, and become. If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure why your motivation feels off, this episode will help you identify what’s really going on beneath the surface and invite God into the process of moving forward with intention, faith, and renewed momentum. ✨ This is your reminder that you don’t have to stay where you are. You were created to move forward and God is already there, waiting for you.

    109 | Healing Your Money Story: How Your Nervous System Shapes Your Relationship With Finances with Brigid Tebaldi

    Why does money bring up so much fear, stress, or overwhelm, even when we’re doing “all the right things”? In this powerful and eye-opening episode of The Journey to Becoming Podcast, I’m joined by Brigid Tebaldi, a Nervous System + Identity Coach, to explore the deeper connection between your nervous system and your money story. So often, budgeting, saving, or managing finances triggers anxiety, fear, shame, or avoidance. Instead of just addressing the behavior and trying to force better habits, Brigid invites us to slow down and get curious about what’s happening beneath the surface. We talk about how your relationship with money may be rooted in early childhood experiences, learned patterns, and moments where your body learned whether money felt safe or threatening. When we begin to understand these connections, true healing  and real financial freedom becomes possible. 💡 In this episode, you’ll learn: Why money stress is often a nervous system response How childhood experiences shape your financial habits today Why behavior modification alone doesn’t lead to lasting change How curiosity, compassion, and regulation can bring freedom around finances If budgeting makes you feel tense, finances trigger fear, or money conversations feel overwhelming, this episode will help you see your story through a new lens, one rooted in healing, awareness, and freedom rather than shame. ✨ This conversation is an invitation to stop fighting yourself and start understanding yourself so you can experience peace, safety, and confidence in this area of your life.
