In this episode, we dive deep into the tension between working for God and walking with God. Are we constantly performing, striving, and trying to do more for God… yet somehow still feeling distant from Him?

In this episode, we’re talking about what it means to stop holding yourself back and finally start doing the things that scare you.

For a long time, I thought the answer to building my glutes was simple… lift heavier.

I’m taking you back to what my life actually looked like when I started my 120lb weight loss journey. The routines that weren’t pretty. The habits that kept me stuck. The exhaustion, the fear, and the LOUD belief that maybe this would just be another thing I failed at. I...

In this episode, we’re breaking down the highly discussed and often misunderstood topic of GLP-1 medications, and why there is so much confusion surrounding them.

AHH… are we really doing this right now?! YES. Yes we are. 😭🤍 And that is literally what this whole podcast is about, I want to show you the power of saying “YES” … even when it feels scary, random, or a little unhinged (in the best way).
