    Fall Bucket List, My New Job (at a Med Spa) and Life-Changing Realizations

    Send us a text The leaves are changing, the air is crisp, and change is in the air—both in nature and in my life. After MANY months of waiting, I'm finally able to share some major news that's been bubbling behind the scenes! This solo episode (my first ever!) takes you through my family's fall bucket list—from cozy cabin mornings with coffee to multiple pumpkin patch visits that my family tolerates because they love me. I confess my Halloween costume woes (despite years of creative genius, I've never once won a costume contest) and share my vision for the perfect autumn. There's something about fall that invites reflection, gratitude, and new beginnings. The biggest news? I'm joining the team at Balance Med Spa in Broken Arrow! What started with a simple phone call to a building under renovation has blossomed into an incredible new career opportunity. After months of intensive training alongside my full-time nursing job, I'll be helping clients with everything from wrinkle relaxers and dermal fillers to hormone replacement therapy and laser treatments. Working with these kingdom-minded, supportive women has already been transformative, reminding me what it feels like to be confident in my own skin again. During this transition, God revealed something profound about timing and dreams. Sometimes He plants desires in our hearts not for immediate action, but for us to steward them patiently—praying into them and preparing for the right moment. This revelation brought unexpected peace in my chaotic season of working two jobs while managing family life and podcast commitments. Rather than rushing to fulfill every calling at once, I'm learning to be faithful where I am, trusting His perfect timing. Mark your calendars for September 30th—Balance Med Spa's grand opening! I'd love to see you there, show you around our stunning space, and help you discover services that might transform not just how you look, but how you feel about yourself. Bring friends, make it a night out, and let's celebrate new beginnings together!

    22 | Wild Crew Kids | Fruit of the Spirit | JOY | Christian Kids

    Send us a text Have you ever wondered what makes joy different from happiness? That's exactly what we explore in this delightful episode of Wild Crew Kids as we discover joy – the second fruit of the Spirit! Miss Lexi and Crew Pearl take young listeners on a captivating journey through the powerful biblical story of Paul and Silas, who demonstrated extraordinary joy even while imprisoned for sharing about Jesus. Rather than feeling sorry for themselves on the cold jail floor, they sang songs of praise! Their hearts were filled with joy not because of their circumstances, but because they trusted Jesus was with them. When suddenly the ground shook, chains broke, and prison doors flew open, we see how their joy didn't just help them – it changed lives! Children will love participating in this interactive episode featuring the beloved song "I've Got the Joy, Joy, Joy, Joy Down in My Heart" and learning Philippians 4:4 with fun hand motions: "Be full of joy in the Lord always." Through whispers, robot voices, and lots of giggles, little ones internalize this important scripture while understanding that true joy comes from knowing Jesus is with us even when things don't go as planned. Parents will appreciate how this episode provides a perfect springboard for deeper conversations with children about finding joy during disappointments, like losing a game but still enjoying time with friends. The simple affirmation "Jesus is still with me and that brings me joy" gives families a practical tool to use together when facing challenges. Ready to help your little ones discover the difference between temporary happiness and lasting joy?

    Send us a text Ready to plant seeds of faith in your little one's heart? Join Crew Pearl & her Mom for the very first Wild Crew Kids podcast episode where we explore the fruit of the Spirit, starting with love! Through the engaging story of the Good Samaritan, children discover what it truly means to "love your neighbor as yourself." But who exactly is our neighbor? Your little ones will learn that neighbors aren't just the people living next door—they're everyone God places in our lives. This powerful insight helps kids understand that showing love means helping others even when it might be difficult. The episode features interactive moments that keep young listeners engaged—from shouting their names to making heart shapes with their hands while learning John 13:34: "Love one another as I have loved you." Kids will giggle as they practice saying the verse like robots, super fast, and then super slow. These playful memory techniques ensure the Scripture sticks with them long after the episode ends. Before wrapping up, we challenge our Wild Crew Kids with a special mission: find one way to show love this week. Whether it's helping someone who dropped a toy at the park or using kind words at home, your child will be excited to put their learning into action. We close with a simple, heartfelt prayer that models how children can talk to God about anything.

    19 | How Can I Help Other Women? A Real Talk on Rebuilding, Motherhood & Resilience with Tanya Davis-Ezidinma

    Send us a text What happens when your life shatters in ways you never imagined? Tanya Davis-Ezedema knows that feeling all too well. From facing domestic violence while raising her son as a 22-year-old single mom to building a household name, Tanya's early motherhood journey was marked by one painful challenge after another. But when she found her 10-year-old son sobbing over a pile of mismatched socks after his father had disappeared yet again, something profound shifted. That moment of heartbreak became the catalyst for transformation that would eventually touch countless women's lives. In this powerful conversation, Tanya shares how she navigated the seemingly impossible balance of building a career while parenting alone, eventually climbing the ranks to leadership at one of the world's busiest airports. Her professional success, however, was just the beginning. The wisdom forged through her struggles led her to create Butterfly Rising Institute, a movement dedicated to helping women transform their pain into purpose. Now married with a second son born 22 years after her first, Tanya offers unique perspective on motherhood across different life seasons. She challenges the myth of work-life balance, instead teaching women to focus on what she calls the three pillars: career, communication, and cash. "It's not about juggling everything perfectly," she explains, "but understanding what needs priority in that moment." Whether you're a single parent, a working mom struggling with guilt, or simply feeling overwhelmed by life's demands, Tanya's story reminds us that our breaking points often become our breakthrough moments. As she beautifully puts it: "Through chaos comes change." Her virtual program, Butterfly Haven, creates space for women to breathe, connect, and find clarity amid life's most challenging seasons. Join us for this raw, faith-filled conversation about resilience, redemption, and the beauty that emerges when we embrace our stories—even the painful chapters. Connect with Tanya at butterflyrisinginstitute.com or on Instagram @btrfly_rise to learn more about her upcoming sessions, including "Beauty in the Breaking, When Pain Becomes Purpose."

    18 | You're like, Very Pregnant: Hope for Hydrops with Konnor Lanker

    Send us a text Hope for Hydrops Fundraising Shirt ⬇️ https://childrensmercykc.itemorder.com/shop/sale/?fbclid=IwQ0xDSwLJlzNleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHinE0WerjXVMsTOsFj8EaGm9irmMoKUMLOocRpkcyaCe0OmMGjYr5WCGfVLN_aem_HHSZTaMRRIgrKw1YRAKGRg Konnor Lanker's story will stop you in your tracks. When doctors diagnosed her first daughter with hydrops—a rare, life-threatening condition with fluid building up in her baby's body—at 31 weeks pregnant, Konnor's journey into motherhood became one of medical uncertainties and deep faith. Doctors performed an experimental treatment using poppy seed oil that had only been tried once before at their hospital, with unsuccessful results. The miracle that followed changed everything. Now 35 weeks pregnant with her second daughter, Konnor found herself facing the impossible again: the same diagnosis doctors said had virtually no genetic likelihood of recurring. Yet within weeks of beginning community prayers, the condition mysteriously cleared from scans. These medical journeys have shaped Konnor's perspective on motherhood, faith, and what truly matters. Beyond medical challenges, Konnor opens up about balancing motherhood with her pursuit of cosmetology school, creating a career that allows flexibility to be present for her children while still contributing financially. She shares how becoming a mother transformed her priorities and deepened her relationship with God in ways she never anticipated. What resonates most is Konnor's intentionality about building a home where faith is woven into everyday moments—from playing worship music to praying multiple times daily with her spirited toddler Hallie, who now faithfully prays for her baby sister. Konnor's legacy of faith, passed down from her grandmother and mother, continues as she raises daughters who understand that faith isn't just a Sunday commitment but a way of life. Whether you're navigating your own medical uncertainties, juggling education with motherhood, or simply trying to find purpose in the beautiful chaos of raising little ones, Konnor's story reminds us that we don't have to do it alone.

    17 | Hold Fast: Cradling Grief and Joy with Widow and Mama Mallory Moseby

    Send us a text The weight of unimaginable loss meets the light of unwavering faith in this powerful conversation with Mallory Mosby, a young widow raising two daughters after losing her firefighter husband Harrison to cancer.  Mallory's love story with Harrison was beautiful but brief—they fell in love quickly, married, and welcomed their daughters Kollyns ("strength") and Gracelee ("hope") in quick succession. Then cancer changed everything. Through pregnancy, delivery, and raising a toddler, Mallory stood beside Harrison during his brave fight, learning lessons about love and faith that transformed her forever. What stands out most in Mallory's testimony is her conscious choice to embrace joy even while grieving deeply. "I have two choices," she explains. "I can be bitter or I can choose joy." This isn't toxic positivity—Mallory openly acknowledges the loneliness of widowhood, the challenges of single parenting, and those mornings when grief hits unexpectedly hard. Yet she continues finding purpose in raising her daughters to know both their earthly father's legacy and their heavenly Father's love. Listen as Mallory shares about completing a marathon to honor Harrison's memory, how she's creating new family traditions, and what it means to have a relationship with God that evolved from occasional bedtime prayers to constant conversation throughout the day. Her journey reminds us that strength often looks like simply showing up with shaky hands, that grief and joy can coexist, and that even in our deepest pain, we are never walking alone. Whether you're navigating loss, raising children solo, or simply trying to trust God through difficult seasons, Mallory's story will remind you that hope remains alive even in life's darkest chapters. 🎵 Check out the link below to listen to  Hold Fast • So We May• Joseph McKeen  https://youtu.be/loSER03Nzm0?si=_uMd7doZ3xEyBivc 📺 Watch Don’t quit on Six  https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1Ai6gNnFiQ/?mibextid=wwXIfr It would mean the world to me if you would like, subscribe leave a review and/or share with a friend if you enjoyed this episode!

    16 | Church Hurt, Cringey Photoshoots & Bingeworthy Shows: A Conversation with Elizabeth Hert

    Send us a text What happens when church trauma shatters your faith, but motherhood calls you to rebuild something authentic for your children? Today's raw conversation with my high school friend Elizabeth Hurt dives into exactly this tension. Elizabeth, now a mom of three spirited girls (Holland, Lennon, and Iverson), opened her heart about the devastating spiritual trauma her family experienced. The aftermath had her and her husband questioning everything they thought she knew about faith. But rather than abandoning belief altogether, she found herself becoming what she calls a "spiritual newborn" – stripping away the performance of religion to rediscover what genuine faith actually looks like. "I just want my life to be the proof of Your love," Elizabeth shares, explaining how she's moved away from the checklist Christianity of her past toward simply loving like Jesus. This transformation hasn't been quick or easy, especially while raising three young daughters who need their own foundation. What resonated most powerfully was Elizabeth's approach to protecting her children while nurturing their spirituality. Having experienced "church hurt" firsthand, she's intentional about empowering her daughters with agency over their bodies and teaching them their voice matters. "That is your body," she tells them firmly, ensuring they know they can always speak up if something feels wrong. The conversation takes a beautiful turn when we discuss how motherhood itself becomes a path back to authentic faith. Elizabeth shares how seeing her cousin live out genuine Christianity without judgment became more healing than any sermon could be.  Between motherhood chaos, rebuilding faith, and finding herself through creativity with her business Wooden Okie, Elizabeth reminds us that healing isn't linear but it is possible. Sometimes, the very things that broke us – in her case, religion twisted by human failure – can be reclaimed in healthier, more authentic ways. Whether you've experienced church hurt, are questioning your faith while raising children, or simply need to know you're not alone in the messy journey of motherhood, this conversation offers both validation and hope. Join us for this heart-to-heart that proves sometimes our deepest connections come through our most vulnerable struggles.
