Ep. 199: To Be Known

After a trip to the Brontë sisters’ village in England, I started thinking about how rare it is to feel truly understood. What if part of faith is trusting that God already knows us completely. Our strange parts, our creative parts, even the parts we try to hide. Today we are exploring what changes when you let yourself believe that.

Ep. 198: Gimme Gimme More

What if the answer to your prayer isn’t rescue… but strength? Today I’m wrestling with wanting, waiting, and why God so rarely gives me the miracle in the package I asked for. Maybe deliverance isn’t being saved from it. Maybe it’s being able to endure it. Love you. Bye.

Ep. 197: Respectfully, I Don't Want To

Sometimes the life I want requires things I don’t. The writing career means promotion. The faith I crave means showing up when I’d rather stay home. Today I’m talking about fear, resistance, and why the habits that feel disconnected might actually be the very things shaping us. Not every Sunday feels spiritual. Not every effort feels worth it. But maybe faith is built in the pattern, not the proof. Love you. Bye.

Ep. 196: Expanding Instead of Fixating

What's your favorite part? I found myself reflecting on what actually feels most fulfilling. This episode is about motherhood, faith, identity, and why sometimes expanding your life instead of fixating on one hard thing is what finally brings peace.

Ep. 195: A Rare Episode About Marriage

After Valentine’s Day, I found myself reflecting on enduring love, the kind that survives grief, growth, and the unglamorous realities of real life. From my marriage to the love of God, this episode is about what it means for love to “bear all things” and why divine love can hold every part of us, even the complicated ones.

Ep. 194: The Temptation to be Needed

It feels good to be needed! But things get dangerous when our worth is too closely tied to that. Let's talk it out. 

Ep. 193: You Can't Trick God

But that doesn't stop me from trying! This episode was pre-recorded and because the perfect evidence to the thesis presented because now I am genuinely in a place of gratitude for the things I was battling when I recorded. Look at that! it works! 

Ep. 192: Creating Community When You Don’t Feel Qualified

Today’s episode is a little niche and a lot honest. I’m sharing what’s actually working for me as a Relief Society president — pink soda coolers, “pods” instead of traditional ministering, drive-through interviews, and creating access points for women who don’t always feel like they fit. I’m not an expert. I feel inadequate constantly. But I believe deeply in women, in service, and in building something that feels like relief. If you’re in leadership (or just trying to love people better), this one’s for you.

Ep. 191: Not To Be Dramatic But My Soul is Stirring

Sharing a pattern in my life I have never talked about for and how to trust divine will and ourselves in following it.
