Show Notes
Girl, this episode is for you if you've been secretly struggling but feel like you have to pretend everything is okay because you're a Christian. 🤍
I want to remind you that you can love Jesus with your whole heart and still have hard days. You can feel lonely, spiritually dry, overwhelmed, or even question your faith, and that doesn't mean you're failing as a Christian.
In today's episode, we're getting REAL about the pressure to have it all together, comparison, feeling behind in life, struggling to find genuine friendships, and turning our relationship with God into another checklist. I'm sharing some of my own struggles and what I've learned about surrendering control, being vulnerable, trusting God's timing, and choosing to abide in Jesus instead of constantly striving for perfection.
My prayer is that this episode reminds you that you are not alone, you don't have to earn God's love, and you don't have to wait until your life looks perfect to come to Him. God wants your heart, not your performance.
Love you guys!

Kaleb and I are back with PART TWO of our marriage confessions series, and y'all… the husbands did NOT hold back! 😂
Okay y’all… this episode is JUICY. 😂 Kaleb and I asked women to anonymously share the things they would never tell their husbands, and some of these confessions genuinely had us speechless.
Today we’re talking about everything I think we need to leave behind this fall: productivity guilt, doom scrolling instead of having hobbies, being reachable 24/7, performing our lives instead of actually living them… and yes, decorating for Christmas WAY too early. Plus, I’m answering your questions at the end! Grab a coffee, go on a walk, and let’s catch up. 🤎
Okay you guys, this episode is a GOOD one. Kaleb and I are sitting down with Pastor Luke Lezon and putting him in the hot seat with some of the questions Christians are actually asking—but sometimes feel afraid to say out loud.
Ten years later, I’m finally ready to share a part of my story that I’ve carried quietly for a long time: my past marriage and annulment.
