The Worthy Wife | Accepted, Self-confidence, Empty Nester, Marriage, Eggshells

1. In this episode, I teach you how to intentionally cultivate thoughts that create self-confidence, emotional safety, and a stronger marriage — instead of living at the mercy of your reactions. You’ll learn how to stop walking on eggshells by understanding the power you already have to form thoughts on purpose so you can feel accepted, steady, and clear about why you do what you do. This is about mental leadership — choosing bel...

What if who you are isn’t the problem in your marriage—but the asset God intentionally placed there?

In this episode, I’m talking to the Christian wife who has learned to apologize for her feelings, soften her opinions, and shrink herself to keep the peace. I want to gently challenge the belief that being authentic is selfish or dangerous in marriage. Together, we’ll explore why showing up as your true self isn’t something to fix o...

Why your brain isn’t the problem—and how accepting your humanity builds spiritual confidence

One of the greatest gifts I ever gave myself was the day I stopped rejecting my own humanity in the name of being “spiritual enough.”

I realized something that changed everything: I have a brain in my head that is doing exactly what God designed it to do.

And I don’t need to fight it, shame it, or ...

The empty nest is often described as a season of freedom. But for many women, it feels more like an unsettling quiet—one that doesn’t restore, but unnerves.

In this episode of The Worthy Wife Podcast, I speak directly to empty nest women who long for peace in their homes, their marriages, and most of all, in their own hearts—but can’t quite find it.

What if the peace you...

Many Christian women struggle with acknowledging what God has done—and is doing—in their lives.

We downplay our gifts. We minimize our growth. We call it humility—but often, it’s something else entirely.

In this episode of The Worthy Wife Podcast, I talk about the lie many of us have believed: that recognizing our God-given gifts and abilities is somehow prideful. And I invite you to consider a different perspective—one rooted in f...

Biblical Peace, Emotional Safety, and Boundaries Without Guilt for Christian Wives

For many Christian wives, “keeping the peace” feels like the loving, faithful thing to do. We stay quiet. We smooth things over. We manage emotions—our own and everyone else’s—so nothing escalates.

But over time, that kind of peacekeeping often leaves us tense, guarded, and walking on eggshells.

In this episode, I explore the important di...

New Year’s Resolutions, God-Given Desires, and the Goals We’re Afraid to Admit We Want

Should Christian women set goals? (I love this episode so much) Is it okay to want more — more impact, more purpose, more joy — or does that mean we’re ungrateful or prideful?

In today’s episode, I’m talking honestly about New Year’s resolutions, big dreams, and the quiet guilt many Christian women carry when they feel a desire stirring inside th...

As this year comes to a close, I want to talk about something many Christian wives quietly wrestle with: worthiness.

So many women live as though their value is tied to performance — how well they’re doing as a wife, a mother, a Christian, or a person. In this episode, I share a different perspective rooted in Scripture: your worth is not earned, not fragile, and not under construction. In Christ, it is a finished work.

We explore ...

In this episode, I speak directly to the woman who loves the Lord and still finds herself unsettled by how different life feels now.

We talk about God’s sovereignty and why pain doesn’t mean something has gone wrong or that you’ve missed His will. I share how peace begins when we release misplaced responsibility and return power to God alone—especially when it comes to our adult children and circumstances beyond our control.

Are you actually having any fun this Christmas?

As Christian women—especially wives, mothers, and keepers of the emotional atmosphere—we’ve been told (directly or indirectly) that holiness means seriousness, that reverence means quiet heaviness, and that grief or hardship automatically disqualifies us from laughter or joy.

But that’s simply not true.

In this episode, I talk about why fun doesn’t cancel out sadness, why your grief i...

In this episode, I share how Christian wives can finally experience the peaceful, joyful Christmas they’ve been longing for — not the one tradition and family expectations demand. I talk about why Christmas feels heavy, how our thoughts shape our experience, and why you’re allowed to redefine what the holidays look like in your home.

In today’s episode, I share how I spent years misusing Scripture and shrinking myself inside my marriage—all because of the messages Christian women were taught 35 years ago about obedience, submission, and “being a good wife.” I talk through how Romans 14:12 opened my eyes to biblical autonomy and how stepping into Spirit-led adulthood changed everything for my marriage and my walk with God.

Good news friend, You can be a loving, ...

Can You Trust What You Want? When Delighting in God Shapes Your Desires

When I first learned that God gives us “the desires of our heart,” I used to think that meant if I behaved well enough, He’d reward me with what I wanted. But over time, I’ve learned that delighting in Him actually reshapes what I want.

In this episode, I talk about what it means to truly delight in the Lord — to enjoy His presence — and how that transforms our...
