Girls in Real Life

If you consider yourself to be an overthinker... this episode is for you. We're talking about irrational fears. And not ones like being afraid of clowns or flying, but the fears that don't seem irrational at all: the fear of making the wrong decision, being misunderstood, failing publicly, regretting your choices, or stepping into something unknown. The kind of fear that disguises itself...

We've been treating peace like something we have to earn. Like once the finances stabilize, once the relationship feels easier, once the career finally clicks — then we can relax. Then we can breathe. Then we get to feel okay. But what if peace was never tied to your circumstances at all? In this episode I'm breaking down one of the most quoted verses in the Bible — Romans 8:28 — and why...

We are halfway through the year, and I think a lot of us are sitting with plans that aren't working, goals that no longer feel like ours, or ideas we've outgrown but can't bring ourselves to release. So instead of a "get back on track" pep talk, we're having a more honest conversation than that. In this episode, we're talking about the art of the pivot: what it a...

Most of us don't notice when we're slipping spiritually. That's kind of the whole problem. For years, I navigated my faith alone. Which meant my blind spots stayed blind. No one was close enough to see what I couldn't see in myself. I'd go months without realizing anything had shifted. And then I got married, and all of that changed. This episode is about the adjustment th...

We all know what it feels like to fall off. Life gets busy, the good habits go first, and before you know it the routines you so carefully built up are now all gone. But here's the part nobody talks about: what happens when life slows back down and you still can't make yourself do it? In this episode, I'm getting real about being in a slump. Not as someone who's overcome it, bu...

It's my birthday week, and I'm turning the big 3-0! I've been doing a lot of reflecting on the woman I was in my 20s, and if I'm being honest, there are a lot of things I'm not proud of.  In this episode, I'm opening up about some of the mistakes and decisions I made throughout my 20s; the things I'm not proud of, but that ultimately shaped who I am today. This i...

I've officially been married for one year! Which means, of course I have to share the knowledge of everything I learned in my first year of marriage with the girls. In this episode, I’m sharing the things no one really prepares you for. From communication and conflict, to softness, intimacy, and the daily choice to love someone even in the most unfiltered, real-life moments.  Marriage has a w...

In this episode, we're talking about identity shifts and the natural evolution that happens as women grow through different seasons of life. Each chapter asks something different of us. The woman you were when life looked one way might not be the woman you need to be when your responsibilities, priorities, and purpose begin to change.  Growth often requires letting go of old identities, old m...

Some days motivation is there, but most days, it isn't. In this episode, I talk candidly about my current feelings surrounding the podcast, why I don't feel motivated, and my lack of time. But I also reflect on the importance of showing up anyway. Because the truth is, the life we hope to have in the future is built by the choices we make in the present. Our future selves can only achiev...

Three years ago I became a mom! And while it was the most magical day of my life, somewhere in the middle of sleepless nights, identity shifts, and quiet grief for the life I used to have... I felt like I lost myself.  The early years of motherhood can feel like a competition. Competition with your freedom. Your body. Your ambition. Your spontaneity. You love your child deeply, but still find your...

We’ve all asked the question, " How will I know?"  How will I know he’s the one? How will I know I’m not settling? How will I know I won’t regret this? We’ve been conditioned to believe love comes with clarity where everything feels undeniable and certain. But what if that moment never comes? In this episode, I’m unpacking the myth of “when you know, you know.” I share how love, in my ex...

Culture tells women that choosing home, family, and softness means giving something up. That to be domesticated is to be oppressed, outdated, or diminished. But what if that narrative is wrong? What if the life the world calls “small” is actually sacred? In this episode, I’m reframing domestication through a spiritual lens. Not as submission without agency, but as intentional stewardship. We talk...

Jesus said the world would recognize His followers not by their opinions, politics, or ability to be right, but by their love. Yet today, Christians are more divided than ever. We argue, we condemn, we choose sides, and somewhere along the way, compassion has taken a back seat. In this episode, we’re having an honest conversation about what it means to love others as Jesus commanded, even when it’...

In this episode, we’re talking about the gap between who you are right now and who you desire to be, and how habits, routines, and daily obedience quietly close that gap. Using Proverbs 31 as a framework, we break down what it actually means to become a woman who is trustworthy, wise, and rooted in her faith without performance or pressure. This conversation isn’t about copying a lifestyle or chec...

Wanting change isn’t the same as choosing it... Last week, we talked about aligning our goals with God—but alignment alone doesn’t change your life. Your choices do. The next step is learning how to move differently in our everyday lives.  In this episode, we’re talking about why so many of us stay stuck in the same cycles—even when we want better—and how real change begins with repentance, discip...

January pushes us to move faster, dream bigger, and set goals rooted in pressure. But what if the goal this year isn’t more ambition—what if it’s alignment? In this episode, we’re talking about how to set goals from a place of faith instead of fear. I’m walking you through the difference between hustle-led goals and faith-led goals, how to discern whether a desire is from God or from comparison, a...

Happy new year!! I missed you guys so much on my break, but I'm back and ready to chat with my girls ❤️ Today I'm sharing all of the goals I have for 2026. We’re talking spiritual growth, personal habits, relationships, motherhood, and the mindset shifts I’m carrying into the year! Can't wait for all this year has to offer and the amazing conversations that will be had on the pod. ...

As the year comes to a close, many of us are carrying things we were never meant to take into the next season. Expectations. Guilt. Responsibilities that drain us. Relationships that no longer align. In this episode, we talk about what it really means to release without guilt and trust God with what we’re letting go of.  We explore how letting go is not failure or weakness, but an act of faith and...

So many of us live in the space of almost — almost healed, almost disciplined, almost obedient to what God asked us to do. But what we don’t realize is that “almost” still costs us something. In this episode, we’re talking about the hidden price of settling for halfway — the opportunities we miss, the growth we delay, and the peace we forfeit when we don’t fully commit to what we’ve been called to...

Life has a way of piling things on all at once. The to-do list gets longer, the responsibilities get heavier, and suddenly you’re just trying to keep your head above water. This episode is for the days when you’re stretched thin, worn out, and wondering how you’re supposed to keep going when life feels like too much. And more importantly, we’re learning how to breathe again — how to pause, recente...

Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions of religious trauma, suicidal thoughts, abortion, and sexual assault that may be triggering to some listeners. Please take care of yourself while listening. 🤍 At some point, we all reach a breaking point — the moment where it feels like everything is falling apart and there’s no way forward. But what if that breaking point is actually the beginni...

We all have plans for how we think our life will go — the timeline, the milestones, the picture we’ve created in our heads. But then life happens, and things turn out completely different. The plan falls apart, the dream changes, and we start to question God. Why did this happen? Did I hear You wrong? Will I ever make it out of this? In this episode, we are learning how to navigate life's det...

In this episode, I’m sharing the truth behind my 75 Hard journey — the highs, the lows, the lessons, and the way it completely changed my life. From rediscovering my drive to deepening my faith, this process taught me what it really means to show up, even when it’s hard. I didn’t start 75 Hard to lose weight. I really started it because I didn’t recognize who I was anymore. For years, I told mysel...

Fall isn’t just about cozy vibes and pumpkin spice—it’s also the last quarter of the year. And how we finish matters just as much as how we started. In this episode, I’m sharing a Fall Reset to help you reflect, release what’s been holding you back, and step into the last 90 days with clarity and intention. Whether you feel behind on your goals, distracted by comparison, or unsure of where to focu...

Your gift isn’t meant to stay hidden. God placed something inside of you that was never just for you, it was meant to serve, inspire, and uplift others. But too often we waste our gifts because of fear, comparison, or the lie that we’re not good enough. In this episode, I’m sharing why your gift matters, how to overcome feelings of inadequacy, and the importance of using what God has given you, ev...
