    AI, God, and the one boundary I won't cross...

    I have a love-hate relationship with AI...and in this episode, I'm finally talking about it. I share the boundaries I've gotten with the Lord around using AI in my business, why I'll never let it touch my idea generation, and why I'm flying to Connecticut to snuggle some sheep at an "AI and Sheep" workshop. If you're a Christian businesswoman trying to figure out where you stand on this, this one's for you. Try The Joy Revival free for 14 days ⁠HERE⁠.

    What if what you're resisting is your calling?

    The thing you've been resisting hardest might be the very thing the Lord called you to. In this episode I share why we resist the work that matters most, the lie I believed for years that kept me from women's ministry, and the simple journaling practice that finally broke me through. If you've been feeling pulled toward something and the fear keeps showing up, this one is for you. Try The Joy Revival free for 14 days HERE.

    Head Trash

    We all carry "head trash"... those stinky, looping thoughts that quietly become our identity. In this episode I share why sweeping out the lies isn't enough and the simple practice I've used since 2023 to fill my mind with truth instead. One thought at a time.

    From tarot cards to Jesus

    Ali sits down with Keeshia Morse of Enclave Gold for a full circle conversation about coming out of New Age and finding Jesus through Scripture and creativity. Keeshia followed Ali's art for eight years before they ever met. She walks through her years of searching, dabbling in tarot and crystals, the moment she realized the spiritual realm was real and she was on the wrong side, and how Illustrated Faith and Bible journaling cracked open the Word for her for the first time. They go deep on spiritual warfare, why New Age "works" but for the wrong team, the difference between being stuck and being on assignment, and the wilderness season as a place of intimacy with God (Hosea 2:14). Keeshia also shares how she and her husband built Enclave Gold, why she hybrid homeschools, and what she would say to a woman who feels stuck in the everyday ordinary. Find Keeshia at Enclave Gold on Etsy. Want a community of women who love Jesus and want to live more intentionally? The Joy Revival is free for 14 days.

    Is He Worthy?

    Is congregational worship declining because the keys are too high and the production is too fancy? Ali heard that claim online and wants to push back. In this episode, she shares the story of standing in a Jerusalem prayer meeting where two Korean women led worship in a language she could not understand, and the moment the Holy Spirit reframed her frustration into wonder. She walks through Malachi 1:11, Psalm 22:3, and the Hebrew word tahila... your personal song of testimony, the praise of His faithfulness in your own life. The kind of praise He is enthroned upon. Whether you sing in church or stay quiet, whether you lead from the front or worship from the back row, this episode is an invitation to ask the only question that really matters: Is He worthy? Worship is not about your range. It is about your heart.

    Metabolizing The In-Between

    Unexpected pain can disrupt everything...especially when you thrive on routine. In this episode, Ali shares from a season of physical limitation and transition, exploring why pain isn’t a lesson from God and how to respond when life creates unplanned space. Rooted in James 1:2–4, this conversation is an invitation to rest, listen to Jesus, and metabolize disruption in a life-giving way. Join The Joy Revival Program ⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠.

    5 Ways Attachment Influences Your Creativity

    In this episode, Ali explores how attachment styles influence creativity. From fear of making mistakes, to craving validation, to struggling with play or emotional regulation, the way we learned to attach shows up at the art table. Ali shares five ways attachment shapes creative flow, why secure attachment creates freedom, and how creativity can become a safe place for healing with Jesus. This conversation is about awareness, not shame… and learning how joy and freedom can return to your creative life.

    Grieving the Dreams That Died

    In this episode, Ali is sharing what it looked like to grieve the dreams that died. After spending eight hours decluttering her studio, she realized I wasn’t just letting go of old scrapbook paper...she was releasing old dreams, ideas, and versions of herself that no longer fit who she'd become. As creatives, we attach meaning to our materials and guilt to what we never finished. This conversation is about finding grace in the letting go, gratitude for growth, and hope for the new dreams God is planting now. Join The Joy Revival Program ⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠.

    The Gratitude Wound: When Thankfulness Was Used Against You

    In this episode, Ali explores The Gratitude Wound...the hidden pain that forms when gratitude is used to dismiss rather than attune. If being told to “just be grateful” ever made you feel unseen, this conversation will bring light and healing. Ali shares how to invite Jesus into those moments of dismissal, rewire your brain through gentle gratitude in high-joy moments, and rediscover thankfulness as a safe, sacred space again.
