More Than Ambition

A recap of our "vacation" and what God taught me through it. A heated conversation about how hustle does not equal striving and how I think we all need to stop vilifying hard work. Enjoy!

This first PUBLIC episode of Voice Memos is officially live - and it's a doozy. If you're an author, coach, or kingdom-minded leader - welcome! I hope you love it here. I’m sharing why I’ve decided to take this once-exclusive podcast public (eek!), and diving into a conversation I care deeply about: why business isn’t just a means to an end — it’s a vital part of your ministry journey. B...

Turns out, no one claps when you do the dishes. (Which is a bummer, really.) But don’t worry—I’ve got a plan. In this episode, I’m sharing how I’m testing a new content strategy, a little behind the scenes of my upcoming launch, and the surprising ways ADHD has impacted my relationship with God. We’ll also talk about breaking generational patterns and how God has been holding our family through an...

Today I'm starting a conversation that's been going on in my head for YEARS, and I'm excited to let you in on it. SPOILER: It's about rest. And how I believe good, fruitful work leads to good, fruitful rest and vice versa. This is truly the tip of the iceberg for this convo—because I didn't even get into the God's grace portion of this little inter-dialogue I've...

For the past MONTH, I've gotten Voice Memos out right on time. Voice Memos Monday, baby!!!! But today is Tuesday. And I'm bummed to break my 4+ week streak of getting it out on time, but I 100% believe that a B- is better than an F! Persistence > Consistency ALWAYS. If you think most episodes are a bit chaotic - BUCKLE UP. Because I was interpreted at least 2,347 times. Hopefully, you...

Oh hey. I got a little preachy (and very spicy) about how we talk about happiness. And I gotta be honest - I think we all need to be reminded of this, myself most of all. Wanna chat about it?

So this is actually an excellent episode! Buttttt I say I'm gonna outline my new Foundations over Flourishes challenge - and I do...kinda. Actually, I don't really at all. Instead, I get caught up in the importance of foundations, why you need a strategic plan, the myth of "passive income" (cue eye roll), and the importance of engaging within our communities. It's a good s...

Well, in a bout of predictable irony, I shot myself in the foot—just a little bit. Today, I'm sharing the new plan for Foundations over Flourishes, wisdom Max shared with me (the theological genius), and three foundations you need in your life if you want to grow a business (and the 1st two aren't what you think.)

Today I’m unpacking my top tools and systems for managing your home and life with ADHD—or if you're a person with ADHD tendencies. We’re talking routines, calendars, Google Homes, tile trackers, vitamins, grocery pickups, habit stacking, and all the little things I do to feel slightly less like a hyperactive squirrel on too much caffeine. I hope this feels both encouraging and helpful! ALL TH...

Another lil' bonus episode! That, truth be told, didn't go exactly as I expected (or planned) it to go. I thought it would be a quick lil' work and life update - butttt turns out I had a lot more to say (surprising, exactly no one.) I share some life updates about Brian's knee, gardening, and a few other things. And I go *off* on why my new Strategic Planning Course, Grounded ,...

Max turns 4 today, Brian crashed, my parents are getting divorced, I *finally* got ice, and I am more pleased than EVER BEFORE about my free Action Plan template (like seriously, it's saving me my sanity at this point.)

Ah! It's HERE after much frustration trying to record. Typical. But in this episode, I give you a behind-the-scenes look at Grounded —why I created it, who it’s for, and what you can expect inside the course (including all the details about each module). I also share some personal stories, my definition of strategy, and why doing the groundwork matters way more than chasing shiny results. Joi...

OKAY WOW that was a lot of side tangents. 😂 Today I'm yapping about how I used to be mean to myself about watching shows, the importance of intentionality and surrender (per my usual), that time my dad challenged a stranger to an arm wrestling competition and won 4 free snow tires out of it, and some of my favorite things about Spring!
