When should you really start preparing for your pageant?

I believe the ideal runway is 9–12 months—not because you need to diet or obsess over your pageant for a year, but because starting early gives you the time to prepare well without resorting to extremes.

In this episode, I’m sharing why I take a long-term approach to pageant preparation and what that extra time allows us to build physically, mentally and spiritually.

Plus, I’m sharing details about my Crowned in Confidence group coaching program, currently open for enrollment.

Have you ever caught yourself thinking, "I'm not enough," "I'm behind," or "She's better than me"?

The words you speak—to yourself and about yourself—have more power than you may realize.

In this episode, we're talking about how your inner dialogue shapes your confidence, your peace, and the way you show up in every area of your life. You'll learn how to recognize negative thought patterns, take them captive, and replace them with the truth of God's Word.

Whether you're preparing for a pageant or simply navigating everyday life, this episode will encourage you to stop agreeing with fear and start agreeing with the One who created you.

Scriptures: Proverbs 18:21, 2 Corinthians 10:5, Philippians 4:8

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Mrs. America 2025, Paige Ewing, for a heartfelt conversation about faith, grief, identity, and purpose beyond the crown. Paige shares her journey from early pageant wins to returning to the stage after nearly two decades, anchored by her deep faith in Christ, role as a mother, and calling to bring hope and healing to others.

We talk about navigating loss, turning pain into purpose, and leading with compassion through Paige’s platform, Hope and Healing: Grief Support and Education. Paige opens up about how God has carried her through seasons of profound grief, how she balances motherhood, business, and pageantry, and how staying rooted in Christ has shaped her confidence as she prepares for the Mrs. World stage.

This episode is a reminder that your identity in Christ is foundational. If you’re a woman pursuing a big calling while holding many roles, this conversation will encourage you to trust God, walk boldly in obedience, and shine right where He has placed you.
