    The Tension Between Growth & Self-Sabotage: A Conversation About Consistency

    In this solo episode of Taking It Off-Topic, I share a real-time reflection about the internal struggle of self-sabotaging the very growth and momentum I’ve been praying for.  As I begin to see God moving in my life, I’m also confronting the fear, inconsistency, and resistance that can show up when it’s time to truly build.  I share what it looks like to stay committed to the work, remain grounded in faith, and keep laying the foundation for the things God has placed on my heart—even on the hard days. This episode is an honest reminder that growth requires consistency, surrender, and the willingness to keep showing up, even when your mind tries to convince you otherwise.

    Checking the Board: A First-Quarter Reflection on Faith, Patience, and Trusting the Process

    In this episode of Taking It Off-Topic, my guest, Akosia Robinson (CEO, Legacy Minded Parenting), and I pause to reflect on the first quarter of the year through a faith-filled lens. At the beginning of the year, we created a “bingo board”—a visual and intentional way to capture what we felt God placed on our hearts, trusting God to move in throughout the year. Now, a few months in, we revisit that board and have an honest conversation about what’s unfolding, what’s still in progress, and what may not look the way we expected. We talk about alignment, patience, and what it means to trust God’s timing—even when it doesn’t match our own. This episode is a reminder that growth isn’t always linear, and faith isn’t always about immediate results. It’s about staying anchored, remaining open, and recognizing the small (and big) ways God is working—even when it’s unexpected.

    In this episode of Taking It Off-Topic, I’m joined by Terikka Faciane, MEd, founder of The Clear School, for a faith-filled conversation about what it really means to walk in your purpose. Together, we explore how to define purpose practically, debunk common misconceptions, and clarify the difference between your purpose and your gifts—and how they work together.

Through reflection, biblical perspective, and personal insight, we discuss natural and intentional ways to nurture and grow into the purpose God has placed on your life. If you’ve ever questioned where to start, wondered if you’re “missing it,” or needed encouragement to take your next step in faith, this episode is for you. We hope that you leave reminded that you are called — and that walking in your purpose begins with trusting the One who gave it to you.

    Continuing The Conversation: Treat It Like the First Day of School: Growing in Unfamiliar Spaces

    In this bonus episode, I build on the message from Treat It Like the First Day of School: Growing in Unfamiliar Spaces by exploring what new experiences and opportunities can awaken within us. When we approach unfamiliar spaces with curiosity instead of fear, we often uncover gifts, strengths, and perspectives we didn’t even know we had. I also share a recent “first day of school” experience of my own—one that reminded me how powerful it can be to stay open, teachable, and willing to begin again. If you’re stepping into something new, feeling stretched, or wondering what’s waiting for you on the other side of discomfort, this episode is an invitation to trust the process and keep showing up.

    Treat It Like the First Day of School: Growing in Unfamiliar Spaces

    In this episode of Taking It Off-Topic, I explore how our earliest “first-time” experiences can remind us that growth doesn’t require perfection—just patience, practice, and trust. From fear and uncertainty to confidence and clarity, I reflect on how unfamiliar spaces often become the very places where we grow the most. This episode is for anyone facing something new, feeling unsure of their next step, or needing encouragement to move forward despite fear. It’s a reminder that growth takes time—and that fruit comes from staying planted, even when the space feels unfamiliar.
