    What Happened When I Fasted for 4 Days

    Send us Fan Mail Have you ever reached a point where you stopped trying to figure it all out—and just surrendered it to God? That's exactly what happened to me over the past 4 days. In this raw and real episode, I'm sharing what took place when I made the intentional decision to fast and truly seek God—not casually, not when it was convenient, but with purpose. And what happened? A breakthrough I couldn't keep to myself. I walked through four days of Scripture, distraction, temptation, worship, and ultimately—confirmation. From Deuteronomy 8 to Proverbs 17, from a stressful payroll email to a life-changing phone call, God showed up in ways that can only be described as divine timing. In this episode, I share: Why I chose to fast—and what I was seeking from God How Day 2 tested me (and how Scripture saved me from breaking my fast) A powerful revelation about prayer that shifted my entire perspective The exact moment God confirmed what I had been believing for 3 takeaways you can apply right now, whether you fast or not This episode is for you if you've been feeling stuck, confused, or unsure about your next step—in your co-parenting journey, your career, your purpose, or just life life-ing. God is not ignoring you. He's waiting for you to come to Him. SCRIPTURES REFERENCED Deuteronomy 8 – God provides, even in the wilderness Luke 3 & 4 – Jesus fasted; fasting is preparation John 1 – The importance of heart posture in prayer Proverbs 17 – On quarreling, self-control, and peace SONGS THAT MARKED THE BREAKTHROUGH In the Middle – Isaac Carree Go Get Your Blessing – Mary Mary Won't He Do It – Koryn Hawthorne 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS You don't have to be perfect to pray—just be honest. Fasting is not punishment. It's preparation. God will meet you when you are intentional about seeking Him. REFLECTION QUESTION When was the last time you truly sought God for direction—instead of trying to figure it out on your own?

    Send us Fan Mail Co-parenting can feel like an emotional rollercoaster… but what if the real shift isn’t about them — it’s about how you respond? In this honest and powerful conversation, I sit down with Ashley Noelle from Blended Bond to talk about the emotional realities of co-parenting, healing from past relationships, and why boundaries are not optional — they’re necessary.

    You Can't Coparent Well, If You're Still Wounded

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of The CoCo Blend Podcast, Jamie Newton-Knight explores a difficult but necessary conversation about healing in the co-parenting journey. Co-parenting has a way of exposing wounds we didn’t even realize were still there. A text message, a disagreement, or a change in plans can trigger emotions that run deeper than the moment itself. But healing matters — not just for you, but for your child. Jamie discusses how unhealed wounds can influence communication, reactions, and the overall co-parenting dynamic, and why doing the internal work can transform the way we show up as parents. Jamie also shares reflection questions to help listeners examine their own healing journey and closes with the weekly prayer for strength and peace. Healing doesn't erase the past, but it changes how you move forward. Reflection Questions: 1. What part of co-parenting still triggers me emotionally? 2. When I get triggered, what wound might that reaction be connected to? 3. What would healing look like for me in this season of co-parenting? If this episode resonated with you, please share it with another co-parent who may need encouragement today.

    Reclaiming Yourself While Co-parenting: You are More than just "Mom" or "Dad"

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of The CoCo Blend Podcast, Jamie Newton-Knight continues the conversation from “Who Were You Before Motherhood?” and brings it directly into the co-parenting space. Because co-parenting doesn’t just require maturity and communication — it can slowly consume your identity. If you’ve ever felt like: You’re just the scheduler The mediator The “bigger person” The steady one The responsible one This episode is for you. Jamie explores how co-parenting can quietly reduce you to a function instead of honoring you as a full person — and why reclaiming yourself is not selfish, but necessary. ✨ In this episode: How co-parenting can turn you into a role instead of a person Why your identity outside of parenting matters to your child What reclaiming yourself actually looks like (practically) How to navigate guilt when your child is with the other parent Reflection questions to help you reconnect with yourself A prayer for co-parents seeking wholeness 🎧 Share this episode with another co-parent who needs this reminder.

    When God Clears the Way: Turning Obstacles into Stepping Stones

    Send us Fan Mail Sometimes the resistance is confirmation. In this episode of The CoCo Blend Podcast, Jamie Newton-Knight shares how unexpected challenges while recording a previous episode became a reminder that when God is moving, opposition often follows. Rather than seeing obstacles as signs to stop, this conversation reframes them as evidence that something meaningful is on the other side. This episode is for anyone who has felt blocked, discouraged, or delayed — in marriage, motherhood, co-parenting, purpose, or obedience to what God is calling you to do. Jamie encourages listeners to shift their perspective, lean into faith, and trust that God can turn every roadblock into a stepping stone. ✨ In this episode: • Why obstacles can be confirmation, not cancellation • How to recognize spiritual resistance without fear • Encouragement for moms, wives, and co-parents feeling weary • Three reflection questions to deepen your clarity • A closing prayer for perseverance and peace If this episode resonates, don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share it with someone who needs encouragement today.
