Welcome to the Becoming Evergreen Podcast, hosted by Carissa Fleming & Debbie Brunet. Becoming Evergreen is a growth community for leaders who are ready to re-engage their purpose, deepen their relationships with God and others, and bear lasting fruit—in their homes, work, communities, and relationships. We believe personal growth isn’t a solo journey or a vague aspiration. It’s a deeply rooted process—anchored in identity, shaped by insight, sustained by rhythms, and supported by relationships. When these four components work together, they result in lasting impact: a life that flourishes and helps others do the same.
