    E64: H.E.R. Talk — Doing It Differently with Coach Tammy

    IN THIS EPISODE Sis, doing it differently looks scary — especially when you've done it one way for so long. In this week's Her Talk, Dorcas sits down with her good friend Coach Tammy Bowe-LaCroix — intimacy and relationship coach, speaker, author, and host of the Sex Ed for Saints podcast — for a real conversation about what God is calling her to do differently in this season. Tammy talks about carrying a lot without knowing how to let go: wife, mother, student, business builder — doing everything, exhausted, and wondering why it felt so heavy when the vision was aligned. You'll hear how she let go of expecting support from the people closest to her, what it cost to keep doing things the comfortable way, and the pivots that looked crazy from the outside — from real estate and a law school acceptance letter to a 3 a.m. call into intimacy work, and a season where the well ran dry. And the shift: "I don't move unless God tells me to move." Now she's doing more than ever — and it feels lighter. Because what you release opens your capacity to carry what you were actually called to carry. If you're a builder, a wife, a mother, a woman carrying a vision that feels heavier than it should — this one is for you. Doing it differently is saying, "God, I trust You no matter what." ⏱ CHAPTERS 00:00 — Welcome to Her Talk 00:51 — Meet Coach Tammy Bowe-LaCroix 01:34 — Do It Differently This Time 02:54 — Carrying a Lot Without Knowing How to Let Go 05:49 — What Heaviness Actually Looks Like 09:05 — Letting Go of the Expectation of Support 14:04 — Doing More Now — But It Feels Lighter 16:05 — Release Everything That Isn't Aligned 23:38 — The 3 AM Pivot: Real Estate to Intimacy Coaching 28:24 — Why Christian Women Struggle Most With Intimacy 40:13 — When the Well Runs Dry 44:30 — Rivers of Living Water 49:09 — What Did Comfort Cost You? 54:47 — The Woman I Became: Free 🎟 DROPPING THE CAPE — LIVE EVENT January 9, 2027 · 11 a.m.–3 p.m. · Bessemer, Alabama A gathering to get honest about the weight you've been carrying and make room for the vision — without carrying every burden that brought you this far.

    E63: The Space Between Heavy and Healed — You Don’t Have to Arrive Healed

    IN THIS EPISODE Sis, you don't have to arrive healed, whole, or completely figured out before you come to God. You can meet Him exactly where you are — with everything you're carrying. In E63, Dorcas talks about the space between heavy and healed: the in-between where we stop pretending, begin surrendering, and let God do the healing work that brings us into alignment with Him. You'll hear why honesty is the beginning of surrender, what it means to "dump" everything you've been carrying at His feet, how to trust a love that doesn't hurt you, why God gives breadcrumbs instead of the whole map — and a closing prayer you can borrow today: "God, this is where I am. This is what I'm carrying. This is what hurts." If you're a Christian woman who's still in the middle of the work — believing God for more but not sure how to get from here to there — this episode is your permission to begin right where you are. Keep dropping the cape. Keep healing for real. ⏱ CHAPTERS  00:00 — Where Are You, Really? 06:22 — The Space Between Here and There 12:15 — Pretending Instead of Living 17:24 — Trusting a Love That Doesn't Hurt You 21:35 — The Dumping Ground: Give God What You're Carrying 30:55 — Stop Waiting Until You're on the Other Side 34:24 — Closing Reflection and Prayer 🎟 DROPPING THE CAPE — LIVE EVENT January 9, 2027 · 11 a.m.–3 p.m. · Bessemer, Alabama A gathering to get honest about the weight you've been carrying and make room for the vision — without carrying every burden that brought you this far.

    E62: The Good Woman Cape — When Selflessness Becomes Self-Abandonment

    IN THIS EPISODE Sis, everybody loves the good woman — dependable, sweet, easy to be around. But what happens when being the good woman becomes a full-time job? When your yes is expected, your no is questioned, and your needs are always the ones that can wait? In E62, Dorcas exposes the Good Woman Cape: the identity we build around being agreeable and accommodating, even when it costs us ourselves. You'll learn the difference between genuine selflessness and self-abandonment, why you learned to perform goodness, the hidden costs nobody talks about (resentment, losing your voice, emotional exhaustion), and what God actually requires of you — plus the exact words to practice this week: "Let me check my capacity before I commit." If you're a Christian woman who's tired of earning love through endless availability, this episode is your permission slip to stop performing. It's time to drop the cape and heal for real. 🎟 DROPPING THE CAPE — LIVE EVENT January 9, 2027 · 11 a.m.–3 p.m. · Bessemer, Alabama A gathering to get honest about the weight you've been carrying and make room for the vision — without carrying every burden that brought you this far.

    E61 - Capable Isn't A Calling: Why Your Survival Strategy Is Draining Your Future

    Just because God gave you the strength to survive a storm doesn't mean He called you to live in survival mode. You are capable. You know how to get things done, carry the load, show up, and keep moving. But what if your ability to handle everything is actually costing you the capacity to carry what God is calling you into next? In this episode, Dorcas explores the difference between being gifted and living from survival, and how the strategies that once protected us can eventually begin draining our future. Because capable isn't a calling. Just because you can carry it doesn't mean God assigned it. As we countdown to Dropping the Cape: Expanding Your Capacity for the Vision, we're starting with awareness. Before you can drop the cape, you have to recognize what you're wearing. Your capacity audit:What are you currently managing that God never actually assigned to you? Ready to go deeper? Join me January 9, 2027, in Bessemer, Alabama for Dropping the Cape: Expanding Your Capacity for the Vision. This is your space to get honest about what you've been carrying, what it's costing you, and what you need to release to make room for what God is calling you into. If you know you're supposed to be there… just obey the pull. Register now at droppingthecape.com. Keep dropping the cape. Keep healing for real. Because you are H.E.R.—Healed, Empowered, and Restored.
