You felt The Stirring. You took The Step. And now you’re living in the middle of the decision you made, and suddenly, it’s harder than you expected. In this episode, I’m talking about The Struggle, the part of transition where the excitement begins to wear off, reality sets in, and we start asking, “Did I make a mistake?”

Through lessons from my own journey as a business owner, I’m sharing why difficult moments don’t necessarily mean you took the wrong step and why struggle can be a completely normal part of becoming who your next...

In the second episode of my Transition Series, we’re talking about The Step—that moment when you’ve felt the stirring, asked the questions, prayed about it, thought about it (and maybe overthought it!), but eventually you have to move your feet. I’m sharing some of the lessons I’ve learned from my own big steps, including becoming a business owner, and why I wish I had asked a few more questions along the way.

We’ll talk about the difference between fear and a genuine warning, why confidence usually comes after we move, and why discomfo...

Today I'm sharing from Luke 5 started in verse 5. I talked about it in the last episode and know all too well what it feels like when you have tried and tried and nothing seems to be changing. Let's do it one more time. Raising up a prayer for you today and this week. Be encouraged my friend.

Be sure to share with a friend that could use a bit of a blesssing.

Who told you that your dream was over? Who told you that you’re too old, too young, too late, too tired—or that the breakthrough simply isn’t going to happen for you?

This episode wasn’t the one I planned to record. But after walking through my own week of feeling tired and discouraged, I kept hearing two words: Who told you? It led me back to Luke 5 and the story of Peter, exhausted after fishing all night with nothing to show for it, when Jesus asks him to cast his net one more time. And that...

Have you ever had that feeling that something in your life is about to change? I call that the stirring—that quiet nudge deep inside that tells you a new season is on the horizon. In this episode, I'm sharing why I've come to recognize the stirring as the very first phase of every transition I've experienced and why learning to pause before taking the next step can make all the difference.

I'll walk you through the three questions I ask myself whenever I sense change is coming: Am I running to something or running from something? Ha...

This episode is a big longer than the others, but I think you'll enjoy the topic!

Transitions have shaped some of the biggest moments of my life, and I've learned they rarely look the way we expect. In this episode, I'm sharing the framework that has helped me make sense of every major life change: The Stirring, The Step, The Struggle, and The New Beginning.

Through the lens of Ecclesiastes 3, a little Footloose nostalgia, and my own journey from executive leadership to business ownership, I'll share why even the seasons we've prayed for can still...

Prayer Sunday | Remember Lot's Wife

Happy Sunday, friend. ❤️ Today is Prayer Sunday, and we're reflecting on one of the shortest—but most powerful—verses in Scripture: Luke 17:32, "Remember Lot's wife." We all need a little extra dose of courage to keep moving forward into the future that He has prepared for us.

I share a heartfelt prayer, asking God to reveal our next step and strengthen us to walk it with faith. If you've been feeling stuck, this prayer is for you.
