Wake Up Your Life

Can I ask you a personal question? Why do you spend time with Jesus? And if you don't, why don't you? In today's episode I unpack my why. I share some deeply honest thoughts with you about why spending time with Jesus is so meaningful to me and why it's something I genuinely look forward to. So much changed for me when I realized I *get* to spend time with God. I don't *have* to. I hope this episo...

On today's episode I'm encouraging and challenging each woman listening to become her own hype girl.

In a world that's so digital - full of text messages, email, social media, zoom calls, FaceTime, etc. it can sometimes make me feel less connected to those I love. Which is why I believe it's so important we prioritize building deep relationships with others and have a community of people to live life with. To me, community means more than just having different friends that I hang out with - it re...

Recently I experienced an intense windstorm, and it was going to be hours long through the night. I was exhausted and just wanted to go to sleep but felt anxious at damage that could be done to our house - would a tree fall? Would a window break? I was praying fervently but still didn't fall asleep. I decided to put in ear plugs and within minutes was sound asleep.  This experience made me re...

I used to depend solely on my memory or a random scratch piece of paper to get everything done on my to-do list. But eventually that burned me out and made my weeks feel very unbalanced when it came to work, house-hold management and plans with friends and family. A handful of years ago I created some new processes to help me stay organized and I wanted to share some of these hacks with you today!...

Following last week's episode on dealing with mean people, I thought it would be helpful to talk about boundaries.  In this episode I answer questions like: -Why do boundaries matter? -What does an actually boundary look like? -Am I a mean person for putting up boundaries? -Does this relationship require a conversation before a boundary is created? -How should the conversation go?

Whether it's someone in your past, someone you're dealing with today, a stranger or a client you work with, it's important to realize that most of the time, when someone is mean to you, it likely has nothing to do with you. So don't dwell on it. Don't let mean people's comments have any power in your life. Don't internalize their comments. And certainly don't give any undeserved energy to it! Easi...

I love when the seasons change, don't you? It's a great time to think about our current rhythms and evaluate if something in our routine needs to change. Instead of looking to January 1st as the time to set new goals or habits, I instead think about it from one season to the next. On this week's episode I talk about some of the reasons why I'm grateful for seasons changing and what that represents...

This week's episode is for anyone who is in a season of waiting. For anyone waiting for the outcome, or waiting for a prayer-filled, hoped-for answer. I want to encourage you and remind you to just take it 24 hours at a time. God has already gone before you and the portion He's giving you to walk through is today, these next 24 hours. He's not asking you to figure out the next 72 hours, next week...

Do you feel like you're living life in a perpetual state of hurry? When was the last time you paused, took a breath and felt present to the moment?
