Southern Sisters Podcast

What if the only thing standing between you and the life God is calling you to live is your willingness to begin? How many times have you felt that little nudge from God to do something, only to talk yourself out of it? Maybe you're waiting until life settles down, until you feel more qualified, or until you have the whole plan figured out. Well, sister, what if NOW is the time? This week, Meggan...

Becoming a Woman Worth Following Here's a question for you... If someone followed your example for an entire year, where would they end up? Ouch. That's a question worth sitting with, isn't it? This week on Southern Sisters, we're continuing our conversation about the Power of Influence by turning the focus back on ourselves. Because before we worry about who we're influencing, maybe we need to as...

You don’t need a huge platform, a perfect testimony, or a microphone to influence someone for Christ. Most of the time, influence happens in the ordinary moments when we simply choose to live what we believe. This week, Meggan and Cortney sit down with Lynnette Sheppard, creator and host of Stand with Lynnette, to talk about what it really means to make Jesus Christ known through the way we live....

When we hear the word influence, it’s easy to think about followers, platforms, likes, and people with a blue checkmark next to their name. But what if the most important influence you’ll ever have has nothing to do with how many people are watching? This week, we’re talking about the kind of influence that happens quietly. In our homes. In our friendships. In our churches and communities. In the...

Have you ever had a thought, a feeling, or a little nudge that you just knew you needed to pay attention to... and then immediately started talking yourself out of it? Yep. Us too. This week, Meggan sits down with Pastor Bobbie, a longtime minister, pastor, and one of our favorite TikTok friends, for a conversation about intuition, discernment, fear, and learning to recognize the voice of God. And...

Women are REALLY good at taking care of everyone else. We notice when our kids need new shoes, when someone needs a dentist appointment, when the house needs something, when our husband is stressed, when there’s somewhere we need to be... but somehow the things we need keep getting pushed to the bottom of the list. And sometimes we don’t even realize we’re doing it. This week, we’re talking about...

Trust isn’t usually built in one big, grand moment. It’s built in hundreds of tiny ones. In this solo episode, Meggan is diving into something that has been on her heart since attending Education Week at BYU: what it actually looks like to build high-trust relationships with the people we love. Inspired by a presentation from Hank Smith on moving "From Simple Acts to Abiding Trust", Meggan shares...

Have you ever had that feeling that something just wasn’t right… only to look back later and think, “I knew it!” This week, we’re kicking off our September theme, The Power of Intuition, with a conversation all about those little nudges, red flags, gut feelings, and promptings that are sometimes so easy to explain away. We’re talking about the difference between intuition, discernment, inspiration...

What if becoming who God created you to be isn’t about doing more, trying harder, or finally getting it all right? This week, Meggan sits down with Amber Dawn Pierce (@amberdawnpearce & Hope Smiling Brightly Podcast ) for a conversation about identity, discipleship, surrender, and learning to live from who God says we are instead of constantly trying to prove our worth. Amber shares pieces of...

Marriage has a funny way of showing you exactly where you still have some growing to do. This week, we’re talking about what it really means to become one in marriage. Not by becoming the same person, but by learning to see your differences as strengths instead of frustrations. We’re going all the way back to the beginning with first meetings, awkward texts, first dates, and the little things that...

Parenting teenagers can feel like you're constantly wondering if you're getting it right. In this special episode, we hand the microphones to our own teens and simply ask them what they wish parents understood.   Their answers are honest, funny, thoughtful, and surprisingly wise.   From building trust and navigating independence to faith, friendships, responsibility, and family traditions, this co...

What if God isn't asking you to have it all figured out? What if He's simply inviting you to keep becoming? Welcome to Season 3 of the Southern Sisters Podcast! This season, we're talking all about POWER. Not the kind the world chases, but the kind God gives. And we're starting with something every woman is living through: the power to become. In this episode, we're sharing honest stories about th...

Season two stretched us in ways we never expected. In this episode, the sisters sit down for an honest conversation about what this season taught us about authenticity, letting go of perfection, simplifying life, and finding peace in the middle of real-life chaos. From speed-cleaning “blitzes” to conversations about marriage, motherhood, mental load, and trusting God through overwhelming seasons,...

In this episode, Meggan is joined by Heather and Savannah Klepko for a heartfelt conversation about slowing down in a world that constantly tells women to keep pushing. Together, they unpack why stillness feels so hard, how busyness disconnects us from ourselves and from God, and the simple ways we can begin creating more peace in our everyday lives. From grounding practices and breath-work to sun...

In this episode of Southern Sisters, the sisters dive into the growing overwhelm many families are feeling and how simplifying life can bring more peace, clarity, and connection into the home. From managing expectations around children’s activities and talents to creating realistic family systems that actually work, this conversation is full of practical encouragement for moms trying to do all the...

Nurturing isn’t weak. It’s not passive. And it’s definitely not something to overlook. In this solo episode, Meggan Boston dives into the quiet but powerful role of nurturing and why it might be the very strength our world is missing right now. Through personal stories, faith-filled insights, and simple, practical encouragement, she unpacks what it really means to nurture—not just as a mother, but...

What if being “prepared” had less to do with fear… and everything to do with faith? In this episode, we sit down with Angie Dees from Year Round Pantry to talk about what it really looks like to live ready—not panicked, not overwhelmed... but grounded in peace. We get into the kind of preparedness that goes deeper than stocked shelves. The kind that starts in your heart, shows up in your home, and...

We’re more connected than we’ve ever been…but somehow, we’ve never felt more alone. This week, we’re sitting down with Emily Sturgell, a school psychologist who sees firsthand how loneliness is quietly affecting people of all ages. And not just emotionally… physically too. This conversation is honest, eye-opening, and honestly a little convicting in the best way. We talk about what’s really behind...

What if the strength you’re praying for… is already being built in the middle of what you’re walking through? In this episode, we’re having a real conversation about resilience… not the polished, “I’ve got it all together” kind, but the kind that’s formed in the middle of hard seasons, messy moments, and things we never saw coming. We’re talking about the moments younger us would never believe we...

This one… it just felt like a God setup. We sat down with Chrystal Peery, someone we’ve followed online for about a year, but had never actually met in real life. And somehow, within minutes, it felt like we were talking to a sister we’ve known forever. We got into the real stuff. The hard stuff. The kind of things you don’t always have words for when you’re in it. Grief. Loss. Miscarriage. Unexpe...

What if the hardest seasons of your life weren’t setbacks… but setups?   In this episode, we’re getting real about adversity—the messy, uncomfortable, character-building kind that none of us sign up for… but all of us face.   From childhood mishaps (yes… including a very memorable national anthem moment 😅) to financial struggles, marriage challenges, and moments where all we had left was faith—we...

In this episode of Southern Sisters, the conversation takes a thoughtful turn into a topic many of us are feeling but not always sure how to talk about: how to seek truth and remain compassionate in a world that often feels loud, divided, and manipulated. The sisters explore how modern algorithms, online echo chambers, and media influence can shape what we see, believe, and react to. Instead of ap...

In this episode of Southern Sisters, the sisters talk about something many of us are craving but often struggle to create in our busy lives: rhythms that bring peace instead of pressure.   Instead of rigid schedules and perfectly color-coded calendars, the conversation centers around the idea of building flexible rhythms that support what matters most: faith, family, and personal peace. The sister...

In this episode of Southern Sisters, we continue our monthly theme of Order by exploring what it looks like to create peace in our relationship with food and our bodies. So many women live with guilt, pressure, and constant noise around eating, dieting, and body image. But what if the real path to health isn’t more rules, but more trust? We are joined by Andrea Simmons, registered dietitian, who h...
