This week on Holy Whispers , I’m joined by my first-ever guest — my friend and fellow life coach, Megan Cheatham (Remnant Hope Coaching) — for a heartfelt conversation about the real, life-changing work of life coaching. In this episode, Megan and I share how life coaching transformed our lives from the inside out, strengthened our relationships, and deepened our faith. We talk about the tools tha...

19: Lit with Courage: Living on Fire for What’s Next 14.11.2025

This week on Holy Whispers, we’re exploring what it means to live with a heart lit by courage — even when fear whispers in the background. As we continue transforming our thoughts and creating the emotions we want to live from, bold action becomes the natural next step. This episode invites you to step into that next chapter with faith, obedience, and a soul ignited by God’s purpose. Join me as we...

18: Choosing Joy in Shorter Days & Longer Nights 04.11.2025

The clocks have fallen back, the evenings arrive sooner, and we’re entering the slower rhythm of late fall — where daylight fades early and the world feels a bit quieter. For many of us, this shift can bring a dip in energy, creativity, and mood. Less sunshine. Longer stretches in the dark. Holiday emotions beginning to surface. It’s easy this time of year to say things like: “I can’t wait until t...

17: When Thinking Isn’t Enough: Taking Action & Feeling the Feelings 30.10.2025

Mindset work matters — but true transformation happens when we pair renewed thoughts with courageous action and a willingness to feel our emotions instead of avoiding them. In this episode, we talk about what it looks like to stop just thinking like the woman you want to become and start acting like her now — even when it’s uncomfortable. We’ll explore why your brain resists change, how to recogni...

16: Becoming Your Own Biggest Fan 23.10.2025

What if you decided — right here, right now — to go all in on being your own biggest cheerleader? 💛 This week, we’re talking about what it looks like to speak life, truth, and confidence over yourself instead of criticism and doubt. You’ll learn how to renew your mind, use “thought bridges” when new beliefs don’t yet feel natural, and remember that your personality isn’t permanent — God designed...

15: Go All In on the Habits, Not the Outcome 16.10.2025

What if this quarter wasn’t about achieving the goal… but about becoming the woman who keeps showing up for it? In this episode, we explore how to shift your focus from chasing outcomes to embracing the daily habits that build consistency, confidence, and peace. You’ll be reminded that your worth isn’t found in what you do — it’s found in who you are in Christ. We’ll talk about why our brains resi...

14: Early Access Mindset 09.10.2025

As we enter the final stretch of 2025, it’s time to reframe how we think about goals, progress, and peace of mind. Instead of seeing this quarter as an ending, what if we looked at it as early access to 2026? In this episode, I’ll walk you through a powerful mindset shift that helps you celebrate your wins, release the disappointments, and use this season as a head start on your next chapter. We’l...

13: Healing Relationships Through a Shift in Perspective 02.10.2025

What we focus on grows—especially in our relationships. In this episode of Holy Whispers , I share one of the most powerful tools I’ve learned: choosing to see others through the lens of my truest, highest self, and imagining them showing up as their best and highest self too. This shift has been transformational in my own healing journey, and I’ll walk you through how you can apply it in your lif...

12:🎉 Birthday Reflections & Finishing the Year Strong 🎉 25.09.2025

It’s my birthday! And instead of waiting on others to make my day perfect, I’ve learned to create my own joy—by focusing on gratitude, celebrating growth, and dreaming forward with purpose. With my birthday falling just days before the start of the 4th quarter, it’s the perfect time to reflect on God’s blessings, review progress on my goals, and set new intentions for the next 90 days. Join me as...

11: Protecting Your Peace 17.09.2025

In a world full of breaking news alerts, endless scrolling, and constant noise, it’s no wonder our nervous systems feel overloaded. But here’s the truth: protecting your peace is not optional—it’s your responsibility. In this episode of Holy Whispers , Jen shares why we must become expert gatekeepers of what we allow into our minds, how to let go of what isn’t ours to carry, and practical ways to...

10: Now Is the Time to Be Bold 11.09.2025

On this September 11th, as we remember the tragedy of 2001 and face the heartbreak of today’s violence—school shootings, public assassinations, and evil everywhere —our hearts are heavy. Evil is real. But so is our hope: Jesus Christ. In this episode, Jen shares a raw and urgent message for women of faith: now is not the time to shrink back. It’s the time to rise up, stand firm, and boldly live ou...

09: "Yes, Lord!" - Stepping Into Your Calling 28.08.2025

As mid-life women, many of us have spent years as cheerleaders, coordinators, and caretakers. But when the house quiets, it’s easy to wonder if our time is over. The truth? God isn’t finished with us—He has new assignments waiting. In this episode, we’ll talk about fear, comfort zones, Esther’s courage, and why the enemy wants to keep us stuck. Let’s rebel against his lies, boldly say yes to God’s...

08: Finish 2025 on fire! 23.08.2025

What would it look like to finish this year fully alive—on fire for your life, your faith, and the person God is calling you to become? In this episode of Holy Whispers , I share what truly lights my soul on fire (hint: it’s not more scrolling, late-night snacking, or online shopping). Instead, it’s creating, coaching, choosing healthy habits, spending time with my people—and even saying yes to th...

07: Tears & Sunshine 21.08.2025

Have you ever found yourself crying in the car for no clear reason—just carrying the weight of disappointments, unspoken sadness, or the pain of those you love? In this episode of Holy Whispers , I share a personal story of unexpected tears and how they’ve taught me the value of embracing life’s full 50/50—both the laughter and the sorrow. Together, we’ll reflect on Ecclesiastes 3:1–4 , which remi...

06: Your Brain is a Bartender for Your Emotions 12.08.2025

Ever feel like you come home from vacation and instantly fall back into stress and overwhelm? In this episode, we’ll talk about how our brains mix “emotional cocktails” based on the thoughts we choose—whether it’s the bitter taste of anxiety or the sweet refreshment of joy. You’ll learn how science (neuroplasticity) and Scripture work together to help us keep our minds in a vacation-like state of...

05: Finding Joy in the Messy Middle — Returning to Center When Emotions Run High 04.08.2025

In this episode, we explore what it means to return to your  spiritual center  when life feels overwhelming. I’ll share how I realized I was carrying nervous energy all day long and how tuning in—with prayer, breath, journaling, and tapping—helps bring me back to God’s presence. We’ll also dig into  Rom...

04: A Chord of Three Strands 28.07.2025

In celebration of our 25th wedding anniversary, I’m reflecting on the journey of love, commitment, and how God has gently—sometimes stubbornly—woven Himself into the fabric of our marriage. From the strength of a cord of three strands in Ecclesiastes to Ruth’s promise of devotion, this episode is a quiet conversation about walking through life together … with God at the center. I’ll share some les...

03: Arms Full of Pool Toys (And Worries) 24.07.2025

Ever feel like you’re trying to hold everything together—and dropping half of it in the process? In this episode, I share a story about my great-niece, a pile of pool toys, and the oh-so-familiar feeling of carrying more than we were meant to. Spoiler alert: it looks a lot like how I show up to God some days. We’ll explore Psalm 55:22 and how God lovingly invites us to cast our cares on Him—not ca...

02: Is That Just How Life Is… or Just What You’re Thinking? 21.07.2025

Ever catch yourself saying, “Life is just stressful” … without questioning whether it really has to be? In this episode of Holy Whispers , we dig into the subtle but powerful role our thoughts play in shaping how we experience everyday life. I’ll share a personal story of how one sneaky thought rut was running the show—and how noticing it began to shift everything. You’ll also learn a simple life...

01: Welcome! 21.07.2025

In this heartfelt introduction, I’m sharing the “why” behind this podcast—how God’s quiet nudges (or not-so-quiet shouts!) led me to finally step out and start this journey. As a Certified Christian Life Coach, a former homeschool mom, and a deep-thinking introvert, my heart is to offer a peaceful place for you to hear God's whispers in the middle of your own beautiful, chaotic, and sometimes hila...
