Here’s How We’re Finishing 2025 Well (It’s Time for a Break) Dec 01, 2025

This episode is a little different… but it’s exactly what my heart needed to record. As we head into Advent and the final stretch of 2025, I’m choosing to slow down, rest well, and make room for Jesus — and that means taking a short break from the podcast for the month of December.

In today’s conversation, I’m sharing the why behind the pause, the pace my soul has been craving, and how I’m preparing for a quieter, more intentional Advent this year. If you’ve been feeling stretched thin, overwhelmed, or tired of sprinting through December, I hope this episode feels like permission to breathe.

You’re Being Lied To: The Subtle Lies Shaping Our Lives (with Erica Gwynn) Nov 24, 2025

In today’s episode, I’m joined by my very first podcast guest, Erica Gwynn, author of That’s Just Not True. We’re talking about the sneaky lies so many moms believe without even realizing it — the lies that tell us we have to lose ourselves, shrink our calling, or drown quietly in motherhood because “that’s just how it is.”

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, unseen, or like you’re failing at motherhood… this conversation will breathe fresh life into you. You’ll walk away encouraged, grounded in truth, and reminded that God did NOT ask you to disappear in this season — He called you to live it with purpose.
