Spirit Led Life

#103: It has been four weeks and a lot has happened. I am catching you up on the job opportunity and what happened, the journaling ecosystem I have been building, a Bible reading program that has completely changed how I know God, and something brand new that I am launching for the very first time. You are going to want to hear this one. Resources * Register for Why Am I Wired This Way? Cohort * F...

#102: After two years and 102 episodes, this is the final episode of the Spirit Led Life Podcast. In this conversation, I share why this decision was made in prayer, how I knew this body of work had reached completion, and what these past two years have meant for my own spiritual growth. This is not a closing rooted in failure or burnout, but in peace and discernment. Spirit Led Life has always be...

#101: We made it to the two-year mark! In this special anniversary episode, I’m sharing the top five most downloaded episodes of 2025, which one came out of nowhere to take the #1 spot, and which two episodes were my personal favorites from the past year. I’ll also walk you through some fun listener stats, reflect on what it’s really taken to stay faithful with this podcast, and share some excitin...

Can you believe it? Today marks 100 episodes of the Spirit Led Life podcast. In this milestone episode, I’m looking back at the journey, what I’ve learned, how God has stretched me, and the moments I didn’t see coming. Whether you’ve been here since the beginning or just found the show, I’m so glad you’re part of this. This isn’t just a celebration of consistency, it’s a testimony of God’s faithfu...

From reflective journaling prompts and daily practices to creating an intentional vision board, I’m sharing everything that’s helped me align my goals with God’s plan. Curious about how I end my year with purpose and step boldly into the new? Tune in to hear my reflectio...

#98: It’s the start of a brand-new year, and while the world is making vision boards and resolutions, I want to talk to you about something deeper than productivity: activating the gift God placed in you. In today’s episode, I’m going to share three intentional, Spirit-led ways to activate your motivational gift this year so you’re not just busy, but actually aligned. If you’ve been asking, “How d...

#97: As we wrap up this year together, today’s episode is a look forward. I want to give you a glimpse of what God has been stirring in my heart for 2026 and what’s ahead for this podcast. This is the last solo episode of the year, and before we take a short break, I want to set the tone for the new year and help you begin listening for what God might be preparing in your own life. Let’s go to the...

#96: If you’ve ever wondered why the holidays feel amazing for some people but exhausting for others, this episode might give you some clarity. Today, we’re flipping the usual Christmas question on its head, not what do you want from this season, but how do you want to show up in it? Based on the seven motivational gifts from Romans 12, we’re exploring how each one naturally wants to give during t...

#95: November was a month of contrasts—quiet wisdom and unexpected answers, prayers that took years to be fulfilled, and moments where I noticed God in the simplest details. In today’s reflection, I’m walking you through how I experienced God in my body, soul, and spirit over the past month. From HOA meetings and handpan music to inner soundtracks and spiritual nudges, this episode is both practic...

#94: This week, I’m sharing the story behind my word of the year and the surprising way God used it to shape my courage, health, relationships, and spiritual life. I walk through my faith-centered process for discerning a word, how the Holy Spirit confirmed it, and the reflections that surfaced as I looked back over 2025. You’ll also hear about a new free resource I’m creating to help you seek you...

#93: Today’s episode is a special one. We’re taking a journey through the voices of those who have shared their wisdom, experiences, and hearts with us this year. In this episode, we’re revisiting some of the most powerful moments from past guests as they answer one essential question: What does a spirit-led life mean to you? You’ll hear insights that challenge and uplift, and the raw honesty that...

#92: October was a month of deeper layers — of trust, of surrender, of obedience, of waiting. It was full of twists I didn’t see coming. Some moments really stood out, and others quietly settled me in a deeper way than I expected. In this episode, I’m sharing the real and raw reflections of what supported me in October — not just practically, but spiritually. Some moments were light and joyful, li...

#91: In the last episode, we talked about motivational gifts and marriage, and this week it only seems natural to talk about motivational gifts and children because after all, God places our gifts in us at the time of conception. Now again, you might be tempted to pass on this episode if you don’t have children and I understand, because I don’t have any living on this earth. However, over the year...

#90: If you caught last week’s episode where Dave and I shared The Real Story Behind 26 Years of Marriage, you know marriage has been on my heart lately. We laughed, we reminisced, and we got honest about what it really looks like to grow together over time. Today, I want to take that conversation a little deeper — not just about how we grow, but why understanding how God designed us can change th...

#89: This week’s episode is unlike any other—because I’m not alone at the mic. To celebrate our 26th wedding anniversary, I invited my husband Dave to join me for a candid, unfiltered conversation about our marriage. From our first impressions and funny stories (including one that involves a broken frosting cap and a nail 😆) to the deep work of healing, growing, and learning to love each other be...

#88: Have you ever noticed how the Enneagram has become a household conversation? People throw out their numbers at dinner parties or in small groups, and suddenly you feel like you know them better. But what if we made motivational gifts just as common? Now, let me be clear—I’m not here to speak against the Enneagram. In fact, I find it to be a really helpful tool. But I believe motivational gift...

#87 In this month’s reflections episode, I’m sharing the small but powerful shifts that carried me through September — from a surprising breakthrough in my snoring saga to a favorite podcast episode I almost didn’t record. I’ll talk about how a new workout routine is strengthening more than just my body, how one verse calmed my fear of aging, and how a deep conversation with an old mentor reminded...

#86: Have you ever raised your hand to serve in church, only to feel exhausted, frustrated, or even a little bit bitter afterward? You wanted to help. You wanted to make a difference. But somehow, it didn’t feel like joy—it felt like work. In this episode, we’re talking about why that happens and how to prevent it. I’m sharing why knowing your God-given motivational gift before you volunteer isn’t...

#85: Have you ever looked around your church—or even your small group—and thought, “Something’s missing here”? Maybe not in a critical way, but in a deeper, spiritual way. Like the body isn’t fully functioning, but you can’t quite name what part is out of alignment? I think we’ve all felt that. I know I have. And the more I’ve studied the motivational gifts from Romans 12, the more I believe this:...

#84: Today’s episode is a little different. It’s not another gift breakdown or personality deep-dive. It’s a heart-to-heart. A bit of a wake-up call. And, honestly, it’s something I’ve been carrying for a long time. Because here’s the truth: We talk about purpose. We talk about calling. We talk about being the body of Christ. But very few churches are teaching people how to understand how they wer...

#83 There were things that stretched me—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. But there were also sweet moments of healing, rest, and clarity. This month brought a long-overdue trip, a change in rhythm, a few unexpected revelations, and even a new go-to coffee order. In today’s episode, I’m looking back on what supported me this month—what grounded me, challenged me, or helped me reset. I’ll s...

#82: If you’ve ever felt like you were doing everything “right” but still found yourself exhausted, spiritually depleted, or wondering, “Whose life am I even living?” —this conversation is for you. I invited Dr. Eboni L. Truss back on the podcast because she has such a gift for getting to the root of what’s really going on when high-achieving women hit burnout—and how our motivational gifts can un...

#81: Today we’re diving into a question I get asked often: Can your motivational gift actually become your career? We’ll talk about what it looks like when your gift is your full-time work, what it looks like when it’s expressed in a different kind of job, and how God positions us in both situations. I’ll share a story I recently saw in the news that got me thinking about Proverbs 18:16, plus some...

#80: Today we’re talking about a word that carries a lot of weight in church circles— ministry . For many people, that word brings up images of pulpits, mission trips, or being on staff at a church. And if we’re not doing those things, it can feel like we’re not really in ministry. But what if that definition is too narrow? What if ministry isn’t about where you serve, or whether your work is in a...

#79: In today’s episode, I’m sharing my monthly reflection for July—looking at what supported me in my body, soul, and spirit this month. Some highlights include a verse God has been speaking to me over and over again, a milestone I celebrated that means more to me than my birthday, and a quote that made me pause and question whether I’ve been resting or just proving. It’s been a quiet, inward kin...
