  • S2E11: Where Faith & Mental Health Meet - My Story, Breaking Stigma, and Building a Healthier Church
    Feb 18 2026

    Send a text

    In this episode, I share my personal journey with mental health and explore how anxiety, depression, therapy, and faith intersect in the Christian life.

    We look at biblical examples of emotional struggle — including Elijah’s burnout (1 Kings 19), David’s honest prayers, and Paul’s vulnerability (2 Corinthians 1:8) — and what they teach us about spiritual health, emotional wellness, and seeking support.

    This conversation is for Christians navigating mental health challenges, wondering how this fits into a life of faith.

    You can follow Jesus and care for your mental health. Healing and faith grow together!

  • S2E10: When Friendship feels like Competition - Creating Safe, Honest, Life-Giving Female Friendships
    Feb 5 2026

    Send us a text

    Competition in female friendships is rarely talked about—but many of us have felt it. The quiet comparison, subtle jealousy, and the sense that we’re in a race we never agreed to run.

    In this episode, I open up a grace-filled conversation about where competition in friendship comes from, how it shows up, and why it undermines safety and belonging. We’ll explore how to name jealousy without shame, release comparison, and move toward friendships marked by honesty, celebration, and secure identity.

    Because healthy friendship doesn’t grow from rivalry—it grows from wholeness.

    At the end, we'll have a series of journal prompts for you to dig a bit deeper in your own life and move to a place of greater healing, wholeness, and confidence.

  • S2E9: What Being Broke Taught Me About Wealth: Financial Health, Stability, and Chasing Peace Instead of More
    Feb 2 2026

    Send us a text

    In this episode, I’m sharing what seasons of being financially stretched taught me about money, stability, and what it actually means to be wealthy. We talk about the difference between accumulation and peace, how scarcity can shape (and misshape) our relationship with finances, and why financial health is just as much about emotional and spiritual posture as it is about numbers.

    This isn’t a get-rich-quick conversation or a shame-filled budgeting lecture. It’s an honest reflection on learning contentment, redefining success, and choosing peace over pressure in a culture that constantly tells us more is better.

    If you’ve ever felt behind, anxious about money, or confused about what “enough” really looks like—this episode is for you.

    Scriptures:

    • “Keep your life free from the love of money, and be content with what you have, for He has said, ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you.’” (Hebrews 13:5)
    • “Better is a little with the fear of the Lord than great treasure and trouble with it.” (Proverbs 15:16)
    • “Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won’t you first sit down and estimate the cost?” (Luke 14:28)
    • "But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a few cents. Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more into thetreasury than all the others. " (Mark 12:41-44)
    • “The wise store up choice food and olive oil, but fools gulp theirs down.” (Proverbs 21:20)
    • “Give us this day our daily bread.” (Matthew 6:11)
    • “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men.” (Colossians 3:23)
