AS YOU ARE PODCAST

We’re back with the second half of our interview with Brookes Vaughan. As helpful and practical as last week was, this week is even more so. We talk about stress management tips, things to do if you’re experiencing brittle hair, hair loss, or acne flair ups, supporting your thyroid, combating bloating, an awesome recipe for an adrenal cocktail, and what your period is really telling you about your...

(Part 1 of the Interview with Brookes Vaughan from The Women’s Health Company) We’re thrilled about this new series called “Let’s Talk About It”. As women there are so many things that we struggle with silently because we’re too afraid to talk about them. We wanted to open the conversation to some of these less talked about topics. This week we get to interview the most amazing woman - Brookes Vau...

Fall semester is here ! We’re kicking off the school year with a little welcome back episode - a re-introduction of who we are, and devotional from each of us.

It’s the last episode of this series, and we’re talking all about Senior Year. We got to interview Salem Jones from UNC and Bonnie Chapman from USC about their Senior year last year. We really dove into expectations vs. reality, how to get the most out of your last year, and how to go deeper in your relationship with God through the unknowns. We loved this conversation & no matter what year yo...

It’s hard to believe summer is over!! Thank you for tuning in over the past 3 months for these devotionals. It’s wild to me how we barely gave any direction on what each one would be about, and yet each devotional was so unique and different from the last. God has been moving in the hearts of girls in our community and I’m so proud of y’all for engaging with Him and sharing. Today is the last one...

Today’s devotional is from Emily Berryman, a senior at UGA and Bible study leader to the Juniors. Emily shares today about the eternal vs. the temporary - the horizontal compared with the vertical. All Earthly pleasures can be gifts from God, but ultimately they’re not what we were designed to live for. These things were created to POINT US to the one we’re made to live for. This is so encouraging...

This week on the podcast we’re talking all about Junior year. We’re so excited we get to chat with UGA leader Emily Berryman and Clemson leader Kate Lalley, who were Juniors last year. We got to chat about everything from unexpected changes of plans, to boys, to how to combat FOMO and trust God with your future. This is such a great conversation!

Today we have a devotional from Clemson AYA Leader Katheryn Ann Batson on discipline. She shares from Hebrews 12 all about why the Lord disciplines us, what that looks like, and why it’s actually a wonderful, loving, and protective thing. She reminds us shame is not from the Lord, that his correction is always lovingly pointing us toward holiness. This is SO good and you don’t want to miss this pe...

Today’s devotional is from BAMA As You Are leader Emma Tanner. Emma shares the story of Esther and reminds us that no season is a place holder or a waste of time, but that God has something specific and intentional for us in each day. I love her encouragement to all of us - a reminder that God may have placed us where we are for “a time such as this.” Hope you walk away empowered and encouraged.

This series has been so fun! We’re on week 3 and it’s time to talk about Rush. We invited some of our favorite people in the world (and founding members of As You Are) on for the interview this week, and their perspectives were so helpful! Each of these girls have been though Rush, and also been Rush Chair for their sororities. Welcome Piper O’Quinn, Virginia Adair, and Caroline Elkins. You don’t...

Today’s devotional is from BAMA leader Hadley Smith. She talks about the heart of Jesus - how He is both gently and lowly - and what that means about his posture toward us. This is so good!

Today’s devotional is from UGA leader Macy Johnson, and it’s all about comparison. She reminds us how destructive comparison can be, how counter-intuitive it is when we realize how God sees us, and gives a great challenge to combat comparison going into this new semester.

Don’t we all wish we had a window into our next year? Well that’s just what we’re going for here. We interviewed rising Juniors Rocky Schaffer and Macy Johnson all about their Sophomore years, and you don’t want to miss this conversation, especially if you’re a rising 2nd year!

Our devotional today comes from UGA leader Emily Harrison. Have you ever felt the pressure to fake like you’re doing better than you are in your life, your relationships or even your faith? Welcome to the club. We all feel the pressure to be perfect, and sometimes it can be excruciating. Luckily, we have an amazing invitation from Jesus to walk in our imperfections with our heads held high because...

Today’s devotional is from AYA alum Mary Nichols Lollis. She graduated in 2023 and is bringing us a devotional from her first semester of PA school. This is SUCH a good reminder that we all need - as important as everything else seems, our relationship with God is really the most important. She shares some really great tips on how to refocus and get our perspectives shifted back to what matters mo...

Do you ever wish you could know what something is going to be like before you did it? Well that’s the idea behind this new series called “What I Wish I Knew Before…” This is the first episode in a 5 part series, (all 4 years of college and a special episode on Rush). Today Emily & Anna sit down to interview rising Sophomores Louise Adair and Ann Woodke all about their Freshman year. We talked...

Today’s devotional is from UNC leader Eliza Gesse. Eliza shares a story from the old Testament about King David and King Saul. Have you ever questioned God’s plan for you? This is some really good perspective about just how in control God really is, even when we may not be able to see it.

Today’s devotional is from Bentlee Burchell - one of the AYA leaders at Bama. She shares on what it looks like to ask for a joyful spirit, and let the Lord change our hearts as we find joy through Him.

I can’t believe we’ve made it to the last week of the book of John. Today’s episode is full of up as we look at the resurrection and what Jesus does as He encounters His disciples before He ascends to the Father. We talk about God’s desire for restoration and abundance for us, His unique plan for each of us, and we even touch a little on comparison.

Today’s devotional is from USC leader Claire Peebles. Have you ever felt like you were doing all the right things in your faith but your heart still is missing something? Claire talks about verses from John (13:1-9) when Jesus is washing his disciples feet and reminds them that if He doesn’t wash them, they have no part in Him. What does this mean? Recognizing our need for Jesus to forgive us and...

This weeks devotional is from Alabama leader Westly Buntin. She shares such an important passage - Luke 6:45 - and talks about the power of God's love in us. This is such an encouragement to lean on God for the ability to uplift others and love the way he's called us to.

(The arrest and crucifixion) * sorry for the buzz, we had some technical difficulties * Today is a big day in the book of John - Jesus’ death. This week is heavy but it’s also so hopeful. We approach these Chapters with humility and reverence, but also with the end of the story in mind. In this episode we let the scripture speak for itself mostly, but we did pull out a few really important things...

Today’s devotional is from one of the USC leaders - Emily King. She shares about trusting and leaning on God in times of transition and learning to rely on our identity in Him first so we can find steady ground.

Today we have a devotional from the Sophomore Bible study leader at UGA - Rocky Schaffer. Rocky shares today about a much needed perspective shift that happens when we follow God - the every day gets to become extraordinary as we walk with Him and partner in his perspective. If you need an encouragement today to remember you are loved and welcomed into the beauty of God’s plan - look no further.

Today’s devotional is from Kate Lalley. Kate is one of the Bible study leaders at Clemson, which is the newest As You Are Campus (!!). This devo is such an encouragement to hold nothing back from the Lord. Have you ever felt like you’re not experiencing God the way you want to? She shares a story from the book of Acts that talks about a couple who seemed Godly on the outside, but were holding thin...
