    Let’s Talk About My Coffee Machine: Why You’re Resisting the Very Thing That Could Change Your Life

    Why do we resist the very things that could make our lives better? Not the big, pack-your-bags, change-your-life kind of changes… But the small, daily shifts that would actually bring more peace, clarity, and ease into our lives. In this episode of the Called and Curious Podcast, Ashriel unpacks the surprising reason change feels so hard—and why the “simple things” we avoid are often the exact doorway to transformation. Because we’ve all felt it… That resistance to:  starting something new  doing it a different way  putting in effort up front  or stepping into something that stretches us Even when a part of us knows… this could actually help me. So instead, we stay where it’s familiar. Where it’s easier. Where it’s…fine. But what if “fine” is keeping you from something better? What if the thing you’re resisting… is actually where the shift is waiting? Not overnight. Not instantly. But slowly…consistently…over time. Until one day, you realize—  it’s easier. it’s natural. it’s even…enjoyable.And there it is… your version of the sprinkle of cinnamon on top. Discover:  Why your brain resists change (even when it’s good for you)  The hidden phase of growth most people quit in  How small, repeated actions move from effort → ease → automatic  A simple, faith-rooted framework to help you move through resistance  What it really looks like to “stay long enough for the blessing” This is an episode for the woman who feels stuck between knowing what could help… and actually doing it. You’re not lazy. You’re not broken. You’re just in the middle of the process. 💛 Ready to move from resistance to real change? This is exactly why Love Moves was written. Because it’s one thing to know what could help… and another thing to actually follow through in your real, everyday life. Love Moves gives you a simple, practical way to do just that: ✨ The six-minute inside-out makeover ✨ A guided way to move your body, return your attention to God, and renew your mind in truth ✨ A repeatable rhythm you can come back to—no matter what your day looks like Not someday. Not when you feel more motivated. Right now. Right where you are.

    When a Woman Shows Herself Kindness: The Canary Island Rule

    When was the last time you were celebrated… not for pushing through, but for finally taking care of yourself? Not for doing more. Not for holding it all together. Not for being everything to everyone. Just for being kind to yourself. In the Canary Islands, there’s a tradition: when a woman shows herself a kindness, her sisters congratulate her. And something about that feels both beautiful… and a little unfamiliar. In this episode, we step into a powerful moment from Canary Island Song by Robin Jones Gunn and unpack why it stops so many women in their tracks. Together, we’ll explore what Scripture actually says about caring for yourself, how God designed your brain to respond to kindness, and why so many of us feel guilt in the very moments we need grace the most. Because maybe self-kindness isn’t selfish. Maybe it’s stewardship. Maybe it’s wisdom. Maybe it’s long overdue. And maybe it’s time to stop quietly expecting yourself to burn out… and start honoring the moments you choose to care. By the end of this episode, you’ll have a simple practice to try this week — one that just might help you walk away thinking: I feel so lovely.

    Women Worth Knowing: Five Women Who Trusted God When It Was Hard

    Some stories deserve to be told again and again. In this episode of Called & Curious, we step into the lives of five remarkable women who trusted God when life was difficult, uncertain, and even heartbreaking. Their stories span generations and continents—from World War II Europe to the mountains of China to the Amazon rainforest. These women weren’t fearless. They weren’t perfect. But they trusted God with the next step. In this episode, you’ll hear the powerful stories of: Corrie ten Boom – who hid Jewish families during the Holocaust and later preached forgiveness around the worldGladys Aylward – a housemaid who followed God’s call to China and led more than 100 children to safety during wartimeElisabeth Elliot – who returned to the tribe that killed her husband and shared the gospel with themRobin Jones Gunn – whose stories helped shape the faith journeys of generations of young womenJackie Hill Perry – whose life was transformed through an encounter with ScriptureThese women remind us that courage rarely begins with a dramatic moment. More often, it begins with a quiet yes. If you’ve ever wondered what trusting God looks like in real life—especially when circumstances are hard—these stories will encourage you. Because courageous faith isn’t reserved for extraordinary people. It grows when ordinary people trust God one step at a time. In This Episode You'll Learn What trusting God looked like in the lives of five influential Christian womenHow faith grows through grief, uncertainty, and callingWhy storytelling is one of the most powerful ways we strengthen our faithWhat it might look like to trust God in your own life todayShare This Episode If this episode encouraged you, consider sharing it with a friend, a sister, or even listening to it with your daughter.
