If stillness feels hard, prayer feels distracted, or your body never fully relaxes, you’re not alone - and you’re not broken.

In this episode, I’m joined by Madison Adekunle, founder of Mercy in Movement, for a conversation about how stress and trauma live in the body and affect the nervous system. We explore why slowing down can feel uncomfortable, how gentle movement and breath help the body feel safe again, and how to begin regulating the nervous system without adding more to your plate.

We also address the controversy around Christian yoga with grace and clarity, and share practical, accessible tools you can try immediately—no quiet room, yoga mat, or extra time required.

This episode is for anyone who wants healing that goes deeper than mindset alone and is ready to reconnect with their body in a compassionate, sustainable way.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right for your health but still feel exhausted, inflamed, or disconnected from your body, this episode is for you.

In today’s conversation, I’m joined by Dr. Brook McInnis, chiropractor, functional health practitioner, and mama, as we talk about a gentler, grace-filled approach to healing... one that doesn’t require more forcing, fixing, or striving.

We talk about how to stop seeing your body as the enemy, how to listen to what it’s asking for, and how faith can guide us into a peaceful partnership with the body God designed-especially in the thick of motherhood.

This episode is for the mom who needs permission to slow down, breathe, and remember: your body isn’t broken, it’s trying to communicate.

Motherhood has a way of changing everything- especially how we define success.

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Charlotte Haggie, resilience specialist for working mums and host of The Resilient Mum podcast. Charlotte shares how becoming a mom shifted her from hustle, approval, and constant striving to a slower, more intentional life rooted in self-trust.

We talk about why moms don’t need more coping skills, what it really means to lead your internal world, and how resilience isn’t about pushing harder -but staying steady under pressure. Charlotte also unpacks how building resilience in ourselves creates a ripple effect for our children, helping shape intergenerational resilience in the home.

This conversation is for the mom who’s doing a lot, holding a lot, and longing to slow down without losing her sense of purpose.

If you’ve ever walked away from a conversation thinking, “That didn’t come out the way I meant it,” you’re not alone.

In this episode, I’m joined by Candy Pederson, speaker, coach, and founder of Heart to Backbone Leadership, for an honest conversation about how communication breaks down in leadership, relationships, and everyday life—and how faith, grace, and discernment can change the way we show up.

We talk about miscommunication and connection, leading with clarity in stressful situations, discerning open and closed doors, navigating rejection, and learning how to trust God when opportunities don’t make sense. Candy also shares how understanding communication styles can help you step into your God-given gifts with confidence instead of hesitation.

If you’ve ever felt misunderstood, unsure when to speak up or step back, or weary from trying to lead well while trusting God’s timing, this episode is for you.

What if the reactions you’re having in marriage and motherhood aren’t a sign that you’re failing but an invitation to heal?

In this episode of Daily Bread & Dirty Dishes, I sit down with author Shayla Huber to talk about the hidden wounds many women carry into marriage and motherhood, and how those wounds often show up as unmet expectations, shame, guilt, and exhaustion.

We talk about the difference between shame and the conviction of the Holy Spirit, why motherhood brings unresolved wounds to the surface, and what it looks like to parent from a Spirit-led place instead of survival mode. Shayla also shares practical, faith-centered ways to identify false beliefs, release old identities, and step into the healing God is inviting you into.

This conversation isn’t about fixing yourself—it’s about letting God meet you right where you are, just as you are!

Grab a coffee, take a seat, and let’s dive in🤍

Motherhood comes with a quiet knowing- a deep intuition that often goes unseen and undervalued. In this episode of Daily Bread & Dirty Dishes, we talk about the God-given intuition mothers carry, the unique spiritual gifts God places inside women, and the sacred purpose behind raising our children in faith.

This conversation is for the mama who has felt the nudge in her spirit but wondered if she could trust it. For the mom raising her kids to love Jesus while still learning and growing herself.

You were not chosen by accident. God equipped you for this calling, and the work you’re doing, even in the ordinary moments, is deeply holy.

What if the parts of your story that hurt the most are the very places God wants to use for His greatest purpose?

In today’s episode of Daily Bread & Dirty Dishes, I’m joined by Kristen Hess, the creative heart behind Artful Gourmet and a featured voice in the Netflix documentary Women in Power. Kristen shares her journey of walking through healing with God, learning to trust Him in the messy middle, and surrendering control to the One who is writing her story.

We talk about what it looks like to invite God into the everyday moments, how creativity and faith can walk hand in hand, and how God can redeem even the most confusing or painful seasons of life. This conversation is especially for the mama who feels overwhelmed, unsure, or stuck in a chapter she didn’t expect.

If you’ve ever wondered how God could use your story, your wounds, your waiting, or your ordinary days — this episode will remind you that nothing is wasted in His hands.

Grab your coffee, take a deep breath, and let this conversation encourage your heart.
