    Hey friends, In today’s episode, Stacey shares her honest and powerful story of growing up with parents who struggled with alcoholism and the healing journey that followed. We talk about the impact addiction can have on a family, the hard but necessary work of setting boundaries, and what it looks like to walk through grief and healing.

    Wildly Free Stories: Going Scared

    Hey friends!Welcome to the first episode of our Summer Series! I am so excited to finally share this series with you. These conversations have been months in the making, and I can’t wait for you to hear the incredible stories of women who have experienced greater freedom by saying yes to God’s leading. In this episode, I’m joined by Lizzy of EO Writes—an author, illustrator, and creative who has courageously followed God’s call on her life. While pursuing opportunities in corporate America and striving to walk through every door available to her, Lizzy began to sense the Lord gently calling her in a different direction. In a season where she felt weary and burdened, God made it clear that He was inviting her to leave her corporate career and “come work for Him.” Our conversation explores what it looks like to surrender our plans, trust God’s leading, and embrace the unique way He has created us. Lizzy shares how true joy, contentment, and fulfillment are found not in striving, but in agreeing with God’s design for our lives and walking faithfully in it. In this episode, we discuss: * Lizzie’s story of leaving a stable job to pursue her writing dreams * The role of faith and trusting God in the process of stepping out * Overcoming fear and security lies that hold us back * The importance of trusting your unique wiring and finding joy in it * Practical tips for self-publishing and illustrating your own books * The power of taking multiple steps of faith despite the fear I pray this conversation encourages you to trust God’s direction and take your next step in faith, knowing that His plans for you are always good.Resources & Links: * EOWrites.com — Lizzie’s website * Unstuck: A Self-Publishing Guide — Lizzie’s book on self-publishing * Amazon - Lizzie’s Books — Find all her titles on Amazon This episode is a reminder that God’s plan is always the best plan. Listen to His still small voice and follow His leading and promptings. You never know what kind of adventure with me on the other side. This is a public episode.

    Hey Friends! I’m so excited to announce our summer series on The Wildly Free Podcast. I had this idea this winter and I’m so excited to see it actually happening. In the next 6 weeks I am going to interview 6 women giving us their story of letting go, stepping out in faith, and seeing God move in unexpected ways ultimately to bring them into more freedom to be who God created them to be. The heart of this series is to remind you that you are not alone and my prayer is that you’ll walk away empowered and encouraged to take that next step of faith, that leap, that jump. You’re not alone. I’ve been there. And so many other women have been too. Cheering you on, Alyssa Connect with Alyssa: * Instagram Remember: You are more wildly free than you can even imagine.

    Confident In My Decisions

    Hey friends!! Today in our 6th and final episode of the confident series, we’re talking about confidence in decision making and learning how to trust God’s leading through it all. If you’ve ever wrestled with overthinking, fear of making the wrong choice, or feeling frozen when faced with decisions, this episode is for you. For so long, I believed that following God meant trying to perfectly “guess” the right answer—and if I got it wrong, I would disappoint Him. But what if God isn’t playing a cruel guessing game with our lives? In this episode, we talk about: * trusting God’s character in the middle of uncertainty * learning to develop wisdom and good judgment over time * letting go of perfectionism and fear * understanding that God is still sovereign even through our mistakes * and finding confidence in knowing that He faithfully leads surrendered hearts I also share how failure, growth, wisdom, and obedience all work together in the process of learning to make decisions with confidence. My prayer is that this episode leaves you feeling more at peace, more grounded in God’s goodness, and more willing to take the next faithful step in front of you. You do not have to live paralyzed by fear. God is a good Father, and He is faithful to lead you. Cheering you on,Alyssa This is a public episode.

    Confident That I Am Capable.

    Hey friends!! Today we’re talking about something that so many of us wrestle with: believing that we are actually capable. So often we tell ourselves “I can’t” before we’ve even tried. We shrink back, doubt ourselves, and assume we don’t have what it takes. But what if capability isn’t built by perfection…what if it’s built by simply showing up again and again? In this episode, I’m sharing what I’ve been learning firsthand about confidence, consistency, failure, and taking one small step at a time—even when doubt is screaming at you. I hope this episode encourages you to stop disqualifying yourself from the things God may be calling you into and reminds you that growth happens when we’re willing to fail and keep going anyways. You are more capable than you think. Cheering you on,Alyssa This is a public episode.
