Have you ever wondered where your money keeps disappearing to?

In today's episode, I'm walking you through the exact process my husband and I use each month to create our spending plan. It's not about creating a restrictive budget—it's about intentionally telling your money where to go so it can support the life God is calling you to live.

Before we even talk numbers, we start with prayer, purpose & a clear goal.

Because when your money has a mission, your spending changes.

Do you avoid looking at your banking app, wonder where your paycheck went, or feel stressed trying to figure out how to finally get ahead financially?

What if financial peace doesn't start when there's finally "more money"… but instead starts when you create a plan for the money you already have?

In today's episode, I'm sharing why so many women continue feeling stressed & overwhelmed with money — even with a decent income — and how creating clarity BEFORE the raise, debt payoff, or bonus can completely shift the way you experience your finances.

I'm diving deep into walking with the Lord this year in 2026 and part of that faith walk is asking Him what He wants me to share with you.  When I was walking through the airport last week, out of the blue, He gave me this:  Give the women who listen to you TRUTH.  They need a simple list of affirmations that speak to them and represent me.

And so, this podcast was born.

In today's episode, I'm sharing the practical things we did as a family to help our kids become good stewards of their money.
As always, use your own discernment & keep things age-appropriate for your kiddos—but these ideas will give you a foundation to build on.

One of my favorite things to witness now is how they give and how they've already begun investing.
They opened their first investment accounts at ages 16 & 17, and all I could think was:
"Man… if I would've started that young, I'd have so much money by now!"

But...

If you've been feeling a little disconnected from your goals lately—or unsure what you're even working toward—you are absolutely not alone.

Today's episode is a gentle but honest reminder of why keeping your goals in front of you matters so much… and what happens when we don't.

I share a real story from a client who skipped a session, drifted off track, & ended up spending over $2,000 she hadn't planned to—because she wasn't connected to her "why" or the vision God had given her.

And listen… I get it.
Because I've been...

For 23 years I have learned goal setting techniques.  I got the cool goal setting planners.  I made checklists and I really dove into it and actually enjoyed it.

But recently… there's been a shift & striving toward a goal isn't my thing right now.  And I feel so much more at peace, content and more ME.

In today's episode, I'm inviting you into this new way of thinking. Because maybe you don't need a perfectly articulated goal right now. Maybe what you need is deeper trust, a quiet heart, and willingness to move when the Holy Spiri...

Growing your bank account or paying off debt is typically what women who listen to this podcast are after.  But, you may feel stuck in this area.  And here's why - not because you're bad with money, but because you haven't found a plan that is in alignment with you, your values and what you're really after.

Friend, your worth isn't tied to how your finances look—it's tied to who God says you are. Once your plan matches your purpose, everything begins to shift.
