In this episode we're going dig into the physical and emotional cues that we are in need of a PAUSE. It's one thing to apply the tool of PAUSing, but it's a completely different beast to know WHEN. We are all made different. We have different backgrounds, triggers, bandwidth. So, let's chat about knowing ourselves and our personal signs that we need to pump the breaks and reset. Ho...

This is your reminder that we're okay. We're doing the things and we aren't totally failing. Take this 5 minutes with me to reminder yourself. You're doing a good job and you're gonna make it through.

God made you special. For something super specific. And He won’t be able to use you fully if you don’t lean into that person He made you to be.

You know how I'm always encouraging to "do it scared."? Well, here I am doing it scared. This episode is about 24 years in the making. It's personal and vulnerable and still a work in process, but I'm feeling called to share my story. Not for me, but for His glory. Not for me, but for that woman that needs to hear it. Not for me, but for the sake of those who don't have any idea what to do next. I...

I spent so many years thinking I had to work to embody love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.  I thought it was all up to me and that if those things weren't present in my life, then I must be doing something wrong.  Lies.  In this episode, I give you what I've found to actually be true.  God is good and it's by his grace that I have this unders...

Take time to reset with this meditation. Grateful for opportunities to come back to this place of rest.

The January before the pandemic I had the honor of speaking to my church community. Little did we know a couple months later this subject would be even more applicable. Lol, we didn’t even know I’d have a podcast. If you crave control. If the unknown makes you uncomfortable. If you have ever wrestled with God. This episode is for you. I hope this brings you a new perspective.

I needed this episode!!!  The conversation was about so much more than meal prep and feeding our loved ones.  It was about getting time back, finding joy in the process, and leaning into what it really means to break bread together.  If you're maxed out, overwhelmed, and tired of trying to think of things to cook for your family, please listen to this one!

God has this whole thing under control. He doesn’t need you to run ahead and fix. He wants you to stop, check in with Him, and let Him do the thing. Are you getting out of the way or are you trying to get things to fit into your picture?

Do you have a life verse?  One that you turn to and gets you through?  My life verse is Romans 12:12, "Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer."  I feel like anything I'm in the middle of or looking forward to or nervous about, this is what I can control. In this episode I unpack this verse a little bit and encourage you to have your own that you lean on. xoxo
