Girl On A Hill

Today as we continue our Over It: When Enough is Enough series, we get real about oversharing. While it may feel like connection - oversharing isn’t healthy, and leads us to start handing out unfiltered pieces of us. Whether we’re wrestling with our worth or just desperately hoping to be validated or seen - we can easily cross the line between honesty and exposure. Today we explore the why behind...

We’ve all done it - spent money we didn’t plan to spend on something we didn’t really need. As we continue our Over It: When Enough is Enough series, we get real about overspending. It’s easy to blame overspending on not having enough money - but it’s not. We spend for all sorts of reasons we don’t usually admit. Comfort. Control. Validation. And while some purchases bring real joy, most are nothi...

Let’s be real. Most of us struggle with boundaries, don’t know how to say no, and feel like the word “busy” doesn’t even begin to describe our schedule. Our planner is always full - and yet, most of us feel like there’s never enough time for the things we actually want to do. We’re tackling this very real problem as we continue our Over It: Enough is Enough series by getting honest about why we’re...

We continue our Over It: When Enough is Actually Enough Series today by getting real about overdoing it - something most of us do on a regular basis. But why? Why are we constantly pushing ourselves to DO? To produce? To work? And why does the finish line keep moving? Let’s talk about control, perfectionism, and the way we’ve normalized burnout. There’s a better way. Doing less allows us to actual...

Let’s get real. Life can be hard. So why in the midst of everyday stress and difficult circumstances are we making our lives harder than they have to be? Today we kick off our Over It: When Enough is Actually Enough Series by talking about why we overcomplicate things. Adding layers and extra steps may feel safer - but what if it’s just our need to people-please or mask our insecurities? The truth...

We’re wrapping up the Know Yourself series with one of the most transformative (and most resisted) pieces: self-compassion. Not self-care. Not self-esteem. Self-compassion. The kind of kindness that steps into your pain with honesty and gentleness, and refuses to make it worse. In today’s episode, we’re getting real about some of the reasons we’ve struggled with self-compassion. Not only do we not...

We all have ways of dealing with stress - some healthy, and some…not so much. As we continue our Know Yourself series, we’re exploring the difference between healthy and unhealthy coping, getting real about why your go-to habits might not be working, and work to figure out what we actually need in those hard moments. We’re talking about patterns, unmet needs, and the importance of choosing strateg...

Ever been told you’re “too emotional?” You’re not. You’re human. And as we continue our Know Yourself series today by talking about our triggers, we dive into the idea that our feelings aren’t something to fear - instead they’re an invitation to get curious. Today’s episode gently explores our emotional reactions and what they can reveal about our unprocessed pain and unmet needs. It’s time to be...

We all carry narratives - about God, ourselves, and others that we’ve picked up along the way. Some give life. Some don’t. Today as we continue our Know Yourself series, we’re taking an honest but loving look at the beliefs we hold - learning to evaluate, ask questions, and explore whether those beliefs are actually true or simply familiar.  We’ll unpack why we don’t always recognize false beliefs...

What are you naturally great at, and where do you consistently struggle? In this episode, we’re diving into the strengths and weaknesses that shape how we show up in the world. Knowing both is essential to living with intention and integrity. We’ll unpack how our strengths aren’t always obvious (especially when they come easily), how weaknesses can be mislabeled, and why it’s ok, (and not prideful...

What truly matters to you, and are you living like it? Today we begin our Know Yourself series by talking about Core Values: what they are, how to name them, and why they matter. In this episode, we get real about the disconnect many of us feel between the life we want to live and the one we’re actually living. We get honest about living on autopilot, uncover the values we’ve settled for, and shar...

Today we close out our Savor: A Season of Joy and Presence series by talking about receiving—an episode about opening your hands, your heart, and your life to what is being offered. Support. Compliments. Joy. Too often, we deflect, downplay, or dismiss the very things that were meant to sustain us. Today we’re exploring why receiving is so difficult, especially for women shaped by self-sufficiency...

We continue our Savor: A Season of Joy and Presence series with Linger—an episode about staying. Staying in the moment. In the joy. In the goodness. Even when it feels unfamiliar or undeserved. Today we’re exploring why lingering can be so hard for many of us, from internalized “shoulds” to our obsession with efficiency, productivity, and earning every pause. We talk about the discomfort of holdin...

In today’s episode, we’re getting real about some of the reasons we resist savoring like our tendency to rush (and why!), our fear of stillness, and our...

Today we’re continuing our Savor series by talking about the concept of gathering. But gathering isn’t just about being in the same room. It’s about being known in it. It’s about creating space—physical, emotional, and spiritual—for real connection. And let’s be honest: that kind of vulnerability can feel risky. In this episode, we’re talking about the very real reasons we resist gathering—because...

We’re continuing our Savor series by talking about the concept of Welcome. Welcome isn’t just about opening your front door - it’s about opening your life: to joy, to interruption, to the unexpected, or to whatever God is doing in a moment you didn’t plan for. In today’s episode, we’re talking about why we resist welcome. It feels inefficient, requires vulnerability, we’ve been hurt before, and ma...

Today we begin a brand new series—Savor: A Season of Joy and Presence. And we’re kicking it off with Celebrate. So often, we rush past the good things in our lives, waiting for the ‘big’ milestones to throw a party or pause for joy. But what if we stopped to honor the small victories—the quiet progress, the everyday courage, the moments of delight we usually overlook? In this episode, we’re talkin...

Today we’re wrapping up the Flourish series with one of the most important—and most overlooked—parts of growth: integration. It’s one thing to know what’s true... it’s another to live it. This episode explores why we often resist bringing what we’re learning into the everyday parts of life—things like vulnerability, consistency, and the tendency to compartmentalize who we are. You’ll hear truth-pu...

As we continue our series on what it means to Flourish, we dig into the topic of leadership - something that’s so often misunderstood.

In this episode, we take an honest look at the example we’re...

As we continue to think about what it means to Flourish, today we dive into the topic of Creativity - learning it's about so much more than the arts - it's about shifting your perspective, solving problems, and yes (gulp) change.

Today, we begin a brand new series - Flourish, where we work to live out the growth we’ve been cultivating. We’re kicking things off by taking a look at the concept of Investment - the process of building your life with intention. Lasting change doesn’t come from big, dramatic moves, but from daily intentional actions and choices. So in today’s episode, we’re focusing on how the small but consiste...

Today, we wrap up the Good to Grow series by digging deep—literally. Healthy roots are the foundation of a strong, thriving life. They keep us grounded in storms, fuel our growth, and determine the kind of fruit we produce. But strong roots don’t just happen. When we don’t have good roots, life shakes us too easily. We chase quick fixes, uproot ourselves at the first sign of discomfort, or resist...
