Let's just hang out and talk, friends! Imagine sitting with me at my dining table, hot bevy and snacks in hand. I want to hear how you're *really* doing, and I want to tell you how things have been here, too! In this episode, I'll go first by sharing how I've really been, changes in our family, how the end of pregnancy is going, and what to expect out of the podcast in the coming weeks and months!

This is a special one. It's a love letter from me, to anyone who is finding themselves in a season of waiting. Whether it's waiting for a spouse, a new job, a child, or a breakthrough of any kind, it can feel hard, lonely, and even devoid of God's voice. I share some of my own story of waiting -- unexplained infertility for 5 years -- along with the things I learned and the testimony of the miraculous b...

In this episode, we talk about the concept of nurturing ourselves like a mother. What does this look like? What if you don't have a good example of what mothering looks like, or you have no time, energy, or money to allot yourself day to day? Or what if you've been taught that taking good care of yourself (especially in a loving, maternal sort of way) is frivolous, or somehow, anti-Christian? Can we experien...
It's hard to let go of things, and as it is with our physical "stuff," so it is with the stuff we hold onto in our minds, hearts, and emotions. Today we're talking through what happens when we clean out the closet of our souls. What have you been holding onto that just doesn't fit you anymore? It doesn't mean you don't appreciate it, or think of it fondly, but it's time to do t...
Let's talk about the GO! I've felt the "go" in me since I was little -- that drive to go somewhere new and experience something exciting. Whether near or far, with a huge budget or just living normal life in a different location, getting away will nourish your soul, challenge your comfort zone, and shore up what you believe about God, yourself, and others. Go for it!
Is your schedule overburdened? What does margin time practically look like, and realistically, HOW do we experience more of it amongst our demanding, full lives? We hear a lot a balancing your work and your rest/recreation, but I want to talk about the holy practice of Margin Time. Yes, the time that is blocked off for the sake of space, breathing room, and availability for God, yourself, and the people in your life. ...
Do you choose a word or intention for the year? Most years, somewhere in between Christmas and the end of January, I do -- sometimes it's a word that comes out of an intentional time of seeking, sometimes it's just a vibe I've been feeling and I run with it. I usually take my birthday in June to check in with my word, see how it's going, and adjust if necessary. This year, I felt that this would b...
What have you learned about friendship in the last year? Whether the thought brings up happy memories you want to recreate, or a tinge of hurt or sadness, just know -- you aren't alone if friendship in your 20's, 30's, and beyond feels a bit challenging. I asked my IRL friends to chime in with their lessons from the last year, and share some hard-earned and life-worn lessons of my own. Love you!

Whether you know it or not, you're building something with your life RIGHT NOW. It might be something that has the markers of "success" we tend to look for in our society, or it might be something small and quiet, yet nonetheless powerful, meaningful, and worthy. Name what it is you are building! Own it, don't look to the left or to the right to compare what you're building with what someone e...
