This podcast is a space where women can come as they are, honestly, imperfectly, and fully seen, and be reminded that they are not walking through life alone.

This is more than a podcast, it’s a sisterhood, a space of honesty, and a reminder that even in the middle of it all, God is still writing your story.

    The Bridegroom Is Coming | Keep Oil in Your Lamp

    As children, many of us remember the excitement of waiting for someone we loved. Dressed, ready, watching through the window, counting down the minutes until they arrived. But do we have that same anticipation for the return of Jesus? In this episode of Round Table Conversations with Yolimar, we explore Jesus' parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins in Matthew 25 and what it means to "keep oil in your lamp" while we wait for the Bridegroom's return. Together, we'll walk through the powerful teachings of Matthew 24 and 25, including the Wise and Foolish Virgins, the Faithful and Unfaithful Servants, and the Sheep and the Goats. We'll discuss what true readiness looks like, why these parables bring both comfort and warning, and how we can live each day with faithful expectation rather than fear. Keeping oil in our lamps isn't about predicting when Jesus will return. It's about remaining connected to Him through faith, surrender, obedience, and intimacy. It's about living in such a way that if Christ returned today, our hearts would already be turned toward Him. This episode is both an encouragement and an invitation: stay ready, stay faithful, and keep your eyes fixed on the Bridegroom. Because the One we are waiting for is worth waiting for. I'd love to hear from you! Send me "fan mail" here. Thank you for spending this time with me. If this episode spoke to your heart, share it with someone who may need encouragement today. Don't forget to follow the podcast so you never miss a new episode. If you're looking for deeper support, I offer one-on-one coaching where we walk through life, faith, and healing together.

    Becoming Her Takes Surrender

    In this deeply honest episode of Round Table Conversations with Yolimar, Yolimar opens up about what it means to surrender your life to God, not perfectly, but daily. Through personal testimony, scripture, and reflection, she shares how walking with Christ has required letting go of people-pleasing, old habits, unhealthy dependencies, and the version of herself that sought validation from the world instead of identity in God. This conversation explores:  Spiritual transformation and renewing the mind  The loneliness that can come with obedience  Breaking free from worldly patterns  Choosing peace over performance  Why who you surround yourself with matters With scriptures from Romans 12, Titus 2, 2 Corinthians, and more, this episode is an invitation to stop conforming to the world and start allowing God to shape your heart, mind, and purpose. If you’ve been in a season of pruning, wilderness, or spiritual growth, this conversation will remind you that surrender is not punishment, it’s preparation. I'd love to hear from you!

    God Is Not a "Once in a While" God

    In this episode of Round Table Conversations with Yolimar, we talk about what it truly means to have a relationship with God, not a “once in a while” connection, but a daily surrender and intentional pursuit of His presence. Inspired by a recent conversation and messages heard in church, this episode explores how often we give God leftover time while expecting Him to consistently provide, protect, guide, and sustain us. The truth is: God is not a once in a while God. He is always present, always faithful, and always working on our behalf. Together, we reflect on:  Why intimacy with God requires intentional time  How transformation happens through consistent connection with Christ  The difference between knowing about God and truly knowing Him  Why we cannot radiate spiritual light apart from God  The powerful analogy between the sun and the moon — and what it teaches us about abiding in Christ This is not a message of shame or perfection. It’s an invitation to go deeper. Because the more time we spend with God, the more our hearts begin to change, our focus begins to shift, and our lives begin to reflect His glory. If you’ve been feeling spiritually distant, inconsistent, or hungry for more of God, this conversation is for you. I'd love to hear from you! Send me "fan mail" here.

    What Is God Doing When He's Silent? (The Wilderness Season)

    In this episode of Round Table Conversations with Yolimar, we explore a question many of us quietly carry: What is God doing when He's silent? If you've ever found yourself praying and waiting… yet hearing nothing in return, this conversation is for you. Together, we gently reframe what silence can mean, not as absence, but as a different kind of presence. A presence where God is still listening, still loving, and still working, even when we don’t hear or see immediate answers. We also talk about the wilderness, not as a place of punishment, but as a space of preparation. A place where God does deep, unseen work within us. Where He refines, strengthens, and draws us closer, even in the quiet. Through Scripture, reflection, and honest conversation, this episode is an invitation to trust God not only when He speaks, but also when He is still. If you're in a season that feels quiet or unclear, you're not alone. And more importantly… you're not without Him. I'd love to hear from you! Send me "fan mail" here. Thank you for spending this time with me. If this episode spoke to your heart, share it with someone who may need encouragement today.

    What Enters Through the Wound

    In this episode of Round Table Conversations with Yolimar, I share a vivid and thought-provoking dream that led me into a deeper reflection on the condition of the heart, both physically and spiritually. In the dream, I was told that something had entered through a wound and began affecting my heart. That message stayed with me. Sometimes it’s not just the wound that impacts us, it’s what we allow in through it. Together, we explore how unhealed areas of our lives — whether emotional, mental, or spiritual — can become entry points for things that were never meant to take root. Through Scripture and reflection, we talk about healing, discernment, and the importance of being mindful of what we carry and what we allow to remain. This is not a message of fear, but of awareness and invitation, an opportunity to bring our wounds before God and allow Him to restore, protect, and renew us from within. If you’ve ever sensed there’s something deeper God is trying to show you about your heart, this conversation is for you. I'd love to hear from you! Send me "fan mail" here.

    Grace in the Small Things

    What does grace look like in everyday life? In this episode of Round Table Conversations with Yolimar, I share a simple but meaningful moment with my daughter that became a powerful reminder of what it means to choose love, even when it’s inconvenient. She didn’t do anything wrong… she simply forgot her school bag. But in that moment, I was given a choice: respond with frustration or respond with grace. Through this story, we explore how grace isn't always about big moments of forgiveness, but often found in the small, quiet decisions to love well, be patient, and show up for others anyway. Together, we reflect on what Scripture says about kindness, patience, and compassion, and how we can carry and reflect God's love in our everyday lives. If you've ever felt stretched, interrupted, or tempted to react instead of respond with grace, this conversation is for you. There's beauty in the small things… and sometimes, that's exactly where grace lives. I'd love to hear from you! Send me "fan mail" here. Thank you for spending this time with me.
