    Your Cycle Is Speaking: Are You Listening? with Caitlin Estes | Episode 157

    Could it be that the symptoms you’ve spent years fighting are not signs that your body has betrayed you, but invitations to listen, understand, and care for the body God gave you? Caitlin Estes, certified fertility care practitioner and author of Woven Well, joins us for an empowering conversation about women’s reproductive health, cycle tracking, fertility awareness, and the dignity of every woman.  We unpack why painful periods and debilitating symptoms shouldn’t simply be dismissed as “part of being a woman,” how understanding your cycle can help you advocate for better care, and why your body is worth figuring out—even when you’re single.  Website - Woven Fertility🎉 TIS IS TURNING FIVE!

    How to Hope Without Knowing the Ending with Katie Klee | Episode 155

    Have you prayed for marriage, hoped for love, and put yourself out there again and again ... but you’re starting to wonder how much longer your heart can keep doing this? Katie Klee joins us for an honest conversation about the gritty reality of singleness, heartbreak, unanswered prayers, and learning to trust that God is good even when His plan looks nothing like the one you imagined.  We talk about wrestling honestly with the Lord, surrendering your vocation without giving up your desires, and choosing hope without putting your life on hold. If you’re exhausted by dating or afraid disappointment will turn your heart cynical, this episode will remind you that you are not forgotten—and that you can bring your deepest ache to a God who is still faithfully working in your life.

    The Permission to Rest and Play | Mini Episode 152

    What if you’re feeling depleted not because you need to do more, but because you need to rest differently? In this mini episode, Maria explores why rest, play, and time in nature are essential to our physical, emotional, mental, relational, and spiritual well-being.  She breaks down different kinds of rest and offers a simple question to help you recognize what you actually need: What kind of tired am I?
