Authentically Imperfect™️

In this short mid-season check-in, I’m making room for real life. Between work, moving, and everything happening at once, I realized I needed to pause instead of forcing myself to create just to stay on schedule. So I’m taking a few weeks to get settled and coming back in September to finish Season 3 with Episodes 6–8. Sometimes changing the timeline doesn’t mean giving up on the goal. As always, remember to contend for the greatness inside of you. I am rooting for you.

Have you ever wondered if feeling angry with God means you’ve lost faith or questioned whether your raw emotions have a place in your journey with Him? In this honest episode, I open up about my personal struggle with grief, frustration, and the complex emotions that come with losing someone dear especially when faith doesn’t always feel calm or certain. Through sharing my own story about losing my grandmother and the waves of anger and sorrow that followed, I explore how faith and honest emotions can coexist. This isn’t about glossing over our pain with spiritual platitudes, but about letting ourselves feel, process, and ultimately bring those difficult feelings before God. I reflect on how God’s patience and love have met me right in the midst of my mess, even when I couldn’t find the words or the desire to pray. Together, we’ll dig into how embracing vulnerability, rather than pushing it aside, can bring us closer to healing and deeper faith. We will cover topics like: • Navigating seasons of anger and grief in your faith walk • How comparison and self-criticism show up in loss • Understanding spiritual bypassing and honest vulnerability • Leaning into God’s presence even when you’re hurting If you’ve been wrestling with tough emotions and wondered if that disqualifies you from God’s nearness, I hope this episode offers you comfort and companionship. You don’t have to have it all together to draw close to God or to lead others with purpose. Let’s reflect, heal, and grow together right in the middle of our imperfect stories.

Are you grappling with the choice between staying comfortable and stepping into something new God is calling you toward? Do you ever wonder what it looks like to truly surrender your plans for a bigger purpose even when it means letting go of the familiar? In this heartfelt episode, I open up about the profound loss of my grandmother and how her life and legacy challenged me to reassess what truly matters. Through the journey of grief, I discovered how God can use pain, transition, and even discomfort to nudge us closer to our calling. I share what it’s been like to wrestle with setting boundaries, shifting priorities, and trusting God’s faithfulness in seasons where nothing feels easy or certain. As I reflect on the lessons that came from both my grandmother’s example and my own faith walk, my hope is that you find encouragement to step past fear or hesitation even when the path ahead isn't clear. We will cover topics like: • The tension between comfort and calling • How grief can reshape our values and priorities • Trusting God through uncertainty and loss • The ongoing journey of healing and surrender Journey with me as we explore what it means to grow beyond our safe spaces and embrace transformation, even when it’s uncomfortable.

Have you ever found yourself weighed down by all the "good" things you're trying to carry? In this episode, we explore what happens when life feels full of meaningful responsibilities, yet the weight of carrying them all begins to overwhelm you. Together, we'll talk honestly about discerning what God is actually asking you to carry in this season, letting go of the pressure to do everything, and trusting His timing when it doesn't align with your own. I open up about my own journey of trying to balance marriage, faith, grief, work, friendships, and the podcast while feeling like if I let anything go, I was somehow failing. Through that process, God began shifting my mindset from striving to perform and please to simply being present in the assignments He had given me for this particular season. It wasn't an easy lesson. There was guilt, exhaustion, and the difficult realization that sometimes the most faithful thing you can do is set something down and trust God to show you when it's time to pick it back up. In this episode, we'll explore: The difference between carrying good things and carrying God's assignment for this season How to recognize spiritual exhaustion and embrace the gift of rest Why saying "not right now" isn't the same as saying "never" How to trust God with your next step, even when it feels uncomfortable As you listen, I hope you'll take a moment to reflect on what you're carrying and ask yourself whether God might be inviting you to lay something down for this season. You're not alone in the tension of trying to balance everything, and you're certainly not alone in seasons of transition or uncertainty. Maybe you're not abandoning your calling. Maybe you're simply honoring the assignment God has placed in front of you. Press play and join the conversation. 🎧

Are you feeling the pull between playing it safe and stepping out in faith? Have you ever wondered why following your calling can feel so uncomfortable even when you trust that God has a plan for you?

I open up about my own journey, wrestling with shifting values, grieving familiar patterns, and learning to trust God in the midst of silence and uncertainty. This isn’t just about having the “right” answers; it’s about leaning into the process and letting faith lead, even when each step feels daunting.
