What if knowing God was never meant to feel distant, confusing, or heavy? Amazing By Design is a faith-centered podcast where women encounter God as loving, personal, present, and deeply accessible. Here, we slow the pace and settle the heart—stepping out of the noise and making room for what often goes unspoken to be gently brought into the light. Through thoughtful, honest conversations, we explore what it looks like to walk with God in everyday life—not through pressure or performance, but through relationship. You’ll find room to breathe, to recognize how God has been near all along, and to discover that clarity, peace, and direction don’t come from striving—they emerge as we learn to respond from truth. Amazing By Design is an invitation to rest, listen, and lean into what God is quietly revealing—one conversation at a time. You are chosen. You are loved. You are Amazing By Design.

    Understanding The Father's Heart

    The Father's Heart Have you ever stopped to consider what comes to mind when you think about the Father? For many of us, our understanding of God has been shaped by life experiences, disappointments, or things we've unknowingly believed over the years. Yet what if some of those assumptions have quietly kept us from experiencing the fullness of His heart? In this conversation, we'll gently explore what it means to see the Father more clearly and how a deeper understanding of His heart can begin transforming the way we relate to Him every day. Because when we truly know the Father's heart, we begin to live with a greater sense of peace, trust, and confidence in His love. Perhaps the Father is more loving than you've ever imagined.   Complimentary Discovery Call Connect Via Email Join the Amazing By Design Email Community Free Gift:28 Days of Coaching Insights-PDF Shop my books Follow Me on Facebook Follow Me on Instagram

    The Father's Way.Guidance Over Control

    The Father's Way.Guidance Over Control One of the most freeing lessons God has taught me is that relationship and control cannot grow together. The more I've come to know the Father's heart, the more I've realized He has never tried to change me by controlling me. He has always invited me into relationship, where truth could be heard, lies could be dismantled, and peace could take root. That realization has quietly transformed the way I relate to the people I love. In this conversation, I want to invite you to explore the Father's way. We'll talk about why control is often a learned response, why guidance creates something entirely different, and how our relationship with God slowly becomes the pattern for every other relationship in our lives. My hope is that you'll leave with a deeper appreciation for the Father's heart...and perhaps discover that His guidance was never meant to control your life. It was always meant to protect your relationship with Him.   Complimentary Discovery Call Connect Via Email Join the Amazing By Design Email Community Free Gift:28 Days of Coaching Insights-PDF Shop my books Follow Me on Facebook Follow Me on Instagram

    The Space Between Knowing and Doing

    The Space Between Knowing and Doing Sometimes the greatest act of wisdom isn't deciding what to do. It's pausing long enough to invite God into the equation before you do anything at all. I've learned that simply becoming aware of a problem doesn't automatically make it mine to solve. Yet for many of us, awareness immediately creates a sense of responsibility. We care deeply, so we naturally want to help. But what if God is inviting us into something deeper? What if, before taking action, He simply wants us to become aware of what He's doing beneath the surface? In this episode, we're exploring the difference between reacting out of urgency and responding with discernment. Together we'll discover why the questions, "God, what do You want me to know?" and "What do You want me to do?" can completely change the way we approach the needs and situations we encounter every day. If you've ever felt the weight of trying to solve every problem that comes your way, I hope this conversation encourages you to pause, breathe, and discover the peace that comes from inviting God into the space between knowing and doing.

    What If Faithfulness Is Asking Something Different?

    What If Faithfulness Is Asking Something Different? What if faithfulness is asking something different than what you've assumed? Many women sincerely love God and genuinely want to honor Him. Yet somewhere along the way, faithfulness can quietly become defined by continuing—continuing to carry, continuing to endure, continuing to hold everything together. In today's conversation, we're slowing down long enough to ask an important question:  Have we confused faithfulness with something God never asked of us? Together we'll explore why so many sincere women find themselves carrying things God may no longer be asking them to carry...and how relationship with the Father helps us discern what faithfulness is actually asking of us now. If you've ever found yourself carrying something long after God stopped asking you to this conversation may be exactly what your heart needs today.

    Can You Trust God When You Don't Understand?

    Can You Trust God When You Don't Understand? There are seasons in life that don't fit neatly into our understanding. Seasons where a door closes unexpectedly. A relationship changes. A plan unravels. A prayer unfolds differently than we hoped. And no matter how much we pray, think, or process, we can't seem to find the explanation we're looking for. Looking back over my own life, I've come to realize that some of the deepest growth didn't happen when I finally understood what God was doing. It happened while I was still living inside the questions. What amazes me now isn't that I eventually gained greater clarity. But rather…how faithful God was while I was in the wait. The way He remained near even when nothing made sense. I've learned that trust with God  isn’t  built through understanding. Sometimes trust is formed long before understanding arrives. And sometimes understanding never fully comes at all. Yet somehow, God remains faithful through it all. If you've ever walked through a season that left you asking "Why?" or "What now?" I think you'll find yourself somewhere in this conversation.   Complimentary Discovery Call Connect Via Email Free Gift:28 Days of Coaching Insights-PDF Join the Amazing By Design Email Community Shop my books Follow Me on Facebook Follow Me on Instagram

    God Can Only Meet You Where You Are

    God Can Only Meet You Where You Are   Have you ever noticed how much time you spend thinking about how you should be somewhere other than where you are? Further along. More healed. More confident. More certain. And because of that, I have witnessed that many women often miss what God is doing right in front of them. They're the seasons where we believe we should be somewhere else. I've noticed how easy it is to look at our lives and focus on what's missing, what hasn't happened yet, or how far we still have to go. And when we do, we often miss what God is doing right in front of us. Years ago, I found myself in a season that felt delayed.  Looking back now, I can see that what felt like waiting was actually preparation. God wasn't withholding something from me. He was preparing me for something. Most of the time we measure progress by arrival. But God  measures progress by formation. And that realization changes perspective. If you've ever felt behind, stuck, delayed, or uncertain about what God is doing in your life,  this conversation is for you.   Complimentary Discovery Call Connect through Email Free Gift:28 Days Coaching Insights-PDF Join The Amazing By Design Email Community Shop My Books Follow Me on Facebook Follow Me on Instagram

    Living From Who You Truly Are

    Living From Who You Truly Are There’s a conversation that has quietly lived beneath the surface of many episodes here on Amazing By Design. What does it really mean to live from who you truly are? In this episode, I explore the difference between living from who God created you to be and living from who you’ve learned you need to be. Many women spend years learning how to show up in ways that help them belong, be accepted, carry responsibility, and meet expectations. Over time, those patterns can become so familiar that we stop questioning them altogether. But what happens when the life we’ve learned to live slowly pulls us away from who we truly are? In this conversation, I unpack: • Why so many women feel lost in their own lives • How self-abandonment can hide behind beautiful words like love, faithfulness,       and responsibility • Why awareness changes everything • The difference between guilt and truth • How trust in God becomes real in everyday life • What it looks like to stop overriding yourself and begin living from who God           created you to be This isn't about becoming someone new. It's about reconnecting with who God placed within you from the beginning. If you've ever felt disconnected, exhausted, conflicted, or unsure of what it means to truly be yourself with God, this conversation is for you.   Complimentary Disvcovery Call Email Me Join the Amazing By Design Email List Shop My Books Free Gift:28 Days Coaching Insights PDF Follow Me On Facebook Follow Me On Instagram

    When Pressure Teaches You To Override Yourself

    When Pressure Teaches You to Override Yourself I’ve been reflecting lately on how quietly many women learn to disconnect from themselves over time. Not dramatically. Not intentionally. But slowly… Through pressure... Expectations... Acceptance... And the desire to keep peace in relationships. And often, it begins much earlier in life than we realize. In this episode, I’m sharing a personal story from childhood that revealed how easily we can begin evaluating ourselves through the lens of external approval — silencing parts of ourselves simply because they create tension somewhere else. The discussion explores: • how pressure teaches women to override internal awareness • the emotional cost of constantly self-monitoring • why external peace and internal peace are not always the same thing • what begins to change when we become safe enough with God to be honest     about what we’re actually feeling • how healing sometimes begins by reconnecting with parts of ourselves we learned to silence over time And maybe most importantly… What becomes possible when we stop viewing ourselves only through the comfort, expectations, and opinions of others.
