Show Notes
In today’s episode, I’m reflecting on my very first year of motherhood and sharing everything I’ve learned along the way—the beautiful, the hard, and the completely unexpected. I open up about the fears I had before becoming a mom, the reality of balancing work, marriage, friendships, and motherhood, and how God has used this season to grow my patience, resilience, and dependence on Him. From breastfeeding struggles and mom guilt to loneliness, marriage changes, and learning to let go of perfection, this is my honest one-year motherhood recap. If you're a mom, hoping to become one, or simply navigating a season of change, I pray this episode encourages you to embrace God's grace and trust Him through every stage.

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. 🤍
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.
