You Planted The Seed, Now Trust God's Timing & Embrace Your Role
As we step into a new season, many of us carry the weight of expectations, wondering why the seeds we’ve planted aren’t bearing fruit. Maybe you’ve poured your heart into a project, a relationship, or a calling, only to feel like nothing is happening. Let’s take a moment to shift our perspective.
Why I’m Planning a Low Spend Year for 2025
let’s talk about turning 2025 into a low spend year! Have you seen this economy?
I know, I know—it’s that time of year when social media is buzzing with talk about "no spend years." But over here, we’re all about balance. Life is meant to be lived, no matter what chaos is happening around us. Let’s dive into why I’ve decided to embrace a low spend year, and how I’m setting myself up for success with realistic goals that prioritize stewardship and intentional living.
Focus: God’s Plan for Your Life in 2025
As we step into 2025, the word focus has been pressing on my heart. Not just any focus—the kind rooted in faith and clarity that comes from letting God guide our steps. After a year of redefining balance in 2024, it’s time to build on that foundation with focus. If you’ve struggled with distractions, burnout, or feeling distant from your purpose, this is your invitation to reset.
To the Emotional “Lightning Rod”: Let’s Leave That Role Behind in 2025
Let’s talk. If you’ve ever felt like the emotional “lightning rod” in your circle or family—absorbing everyone’s struggles, fixing their problems, and carrying burdens that were never yours to begin with—this is for you. And let’s be real: it’s exhausting. It’s isolating. And it’s time to let it go.
Finding My Final Home: Owning My Story, Embracing Balance
Lately, I’ve been feeling the weight of it all—of endless notifications, constant scrolling, and the overwhelming flood of information that comes from living in a digital world. Maybe you’ve felt it too. That nagging sense that no matter how much you try to keep up, there’s always more. More posts to consume, more opinions to sift through, more noise to filter out and now dealing with the discourse around if TikTok will be banned or not (I personally don’t post a lot over there. I mostly consume Matcha, Christian, & K-Drama content😂)
What Does Your Spiritual Attack Mean?
As I reflect on my life and the season I’m currently in, I’ve noticed something that I think might resonate with many of you: spiritual attacks are not random. There’s often a pattern to them, and they tend to target the most significant areas of our lives. It took some deep introspection and biblical study for me to see this clearly, but when I did, everything began to make sense.
Sharing My Scars Because I'm Tired of Perfection
God told me to tell my story. And honestly, I didn’t know what that meant at first.
When Curating Feels Like Disobedience
There’s no podcast episode this week. Why? Because I fell into a trap—the trap of curating content and ✨sprinkling a little bit of me✨ into it, instead of doing what I’ve been told to do: tell my unadulterated story.

The “Winter Arc” Trap: Why Real Change Begins with Faith, Not Reinvention
With the end of the year approaching, social media is flooded with messages urging us to “reinvent” ourselves—especially through what’s trending as the “winter arc.” The idea is to disappear for a while, perfect ourselves, and then reappear as the “best” version of ourselves. Refreshing routines and setting new goals can be good, but there's a hidden trap in this mindset.

Life's journey is filled with moments of uncertainty, especially when we choose to follow God's assignment. It's easy to feel assured when everything goes smoothly, but what happens when the path becomes shaky?
Leaning Into the Breaking Point: Finding Freedom By Losing Control
Today, I want to dive deep into a concept that might feel counterintuitive at first: losing control to gain freedom. It sounds a bit like a paradox, doesn’t it?
