    Behind the Mic: Faith, Motherhood, and the Heart Behind Here For It

    In this special episode, Dusti pulls back the curtain and answers your most-asked questions about podcasting, faith, motherhood, and community. She shares the story that inspired her to start Here For It and the episode that surprised her most, then dives into the real stuff: how she discerns God’s leading, what’s been shaping her walk with Jesus lately, and the Scripture currently anchoring her heart. From mom hacks to “kid quotes,” and from keeping a peaceful home in busy seasons to building community through Commune Women, Dusti reflects on lessons learned, moments that have marked her, and the dreams she’s carrying for the year ahead. You’ll also hear a few fun rapid-fire questions (including her coffee order and a lighthearted Taylor Swift prediction) that will leave you smiling.

    Summer of Purpose: Living Intentionally in a Season of Rest | Episode 15

    What if your summer wasn’t just a break... but a divine invitation? In today’s episode, we’re leaning into the idea that summer doesn’t have to feel like a blur or a burnout. Instead, it can be a season where we slow down with intention, align with God’s will, and live from a place of purpose, even in the rest. I’ll share how I’ve personally struggled with drifting through past summers, and how the shift toward intentionality has changed everything. This episode is full of practical encouragement and Spirit-led steps to help you create a summer that actually refreshes your soul and draws you closer to Jesus. Why “just coasting” through summer might leave you feeling empty What it really means to live a Summer of Purpose (and what it doesn’t) 3 invitations from God this season: to rest, reframe, and respond Practical tips to make this your most purposeful summer yet — without burnout Create rhythms that reflect your current season Set aligned, meaningful goals with God Schedule weekly Sabbath moments to rest and reflect Choose a summer focus word or scripture Start a simple journal to track what God is doing Find a “Purpose Partner” for encouragement and accountability This summer doesn’t have to drift by. Let’s live it on purpose, with purpose. ➡️ I’ll be showing up all summer on: Instagram with weekly encouragement & creative ideas Substack with devotionals, journaling prompts & resources Here For It, every Wednesday, with episodes designed to keep your summer grounded and growing Let’s live it on purpose, with purpose.
