This episode is raw. It's personal. And honestly, it's one of the hardest I've ever recorded.

After 30 days of pouring out my heart through the Made 4 More series, God wrecked me - in the best way possible. In this final episode, I’m sharing what He revealed to me about obedience, about surrender, and about why I can’t afford to go back.

It’s framed around Philippians 3:13–14, where Paul reminds us to forget what’s behind and press forward. That’s exactly what I’m doing...pressing forward. Because when you’ve seen too much, when you’ve grown too much, and when God has called you to more, retreat is no longer an option.

If you’ve ever wrestled with obedience, if you’ve ever questioned your calling, or if you're standing at the edge of “Do I keep going?” this episode is for you.

Highlights:

• What God revealed to me through this 30-day journey
• Why I almost didn’t release this episode
• How obedience is stretching me in new, uncomfortable ways
• The reminder that calling requires commitment—even when it's hard
• A heartfelt invitation to keep pressing forward with me

Listen now, share with a friend who needs encouragement, and remind yourself: you were made for more...there’s no turning back now.

In this week’s episode of The Joy for the Journey Podcast, I’m pulling back the curtain on what it really means to be anchored. Not just still. Not just safe. But steady...even in seasons of uncertainty.

I’ll share a personal story about how my old website crashing became a divine reset and how it revealed just how tightly I was holding onto a version of Speaking of Joye that God had outgrown. We'll unpack what it looks like to release anchors that no longer serve us — fear, control, comfort — and instead cling to the only foundation that never shifts.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, unsure if it's God or just you avoiding the next step, this one's for you.

In this episode, we cover:

• The true purpose of an anchor
• When God removes what you won’t let go
• The difference between being paused and being protected
• How to know if what’s holding you is helping you
• An honest invitation to build on the Solid Rock

Listen in and let’s check what we’re really tied to.

What if the thing holding you back isn’t a lack of faith—but the fear of what trusting God might cost you?

In this episode, I’m sharing something deeply personal: how hard it’s been to let go of control and truly trust God with what I can't see. I talk about:

• The fear of surrender when God’s path feels risky
• My personal struggle with letting others lead — and how that shows up in my relationship with God
• The first time I publicly said Speaking of Joye is a global ministry (and why that felt scary)
• Why trusting God doesn’t mean having it all figured out
• How I’m choosing to buckle up, take my hands off the wheel, and be the passenger

If you’ve been tip-toeing your way through purpose, this episode is your reminder that you don’t have to control the ride to trust the destination.

This week on Joy for the Journey, I’m sharing what it really looks like to live lighter, to choose less so God can do more.

After weeks of exploring the noise, the yeses that cost too much, and all the ways we try to hold it all together, I’m opening up about why I took a break from this very podcast… and what God’s been teaching me in the quiet.

We’ll talk about trusting Him with outcomes we can’t control, saying no so we can honor what He’s actually asked of us, and how fewer automatic yeses can open the door to deeper faith.

If you’ve been feeling stretched, tired, or afraid to let go, I pray this episode reminds you that God never needed you to carry it all . He just wants your trust.

Hi Friend! This one is raw. Honest. Not polished or neatly wrapped up.

In this episode of Joy for the Journey, I share where I’ve really been since the Renewal Retreat. How God showed up in a mighty way for those 30 women, and then quietly sat me down right after.
How I went from pouring into others to feeling stuck. Tired. Disconnected.
How I realized I was performing more than I was actually being in His presence.

I talk about:

• What happened after the retreat that no one saw
• Why exhaustion had me praying less and carrying more
• How being an only child shaped my deep need to hold on to people
• What God revealed to me in my own Selah, the holy pause I didn’t plan, but desperately needed

This lines up perfectly with what we’ve been walking through in week one of my “Made for More” email journey, the part of purpose we don’t often talk about. The slow, quiet, tender work that happens when you haven’t moved… but you’re still called.

If this resonates, subscribe to my daily emails so we can keep doing this together. We’re in it for all 31 days...real, unfiltered, with God at the center.

Have you ever felt like you’re doing all the right things, yet something still feels missing? You’re showing up, handling responsibilities, achieving success—but deep down, there’s a nagging feeling that there’s more.

I know that feeling well.

In this episode, I’m sharing my personal journey to fulfillment—how I went from having a life that looked “full” on paper to finally feeling renewed, aligned, and at peace in Christ. It wasn’t about doing more. It wasn’t about achieving more. It was about trusting God enough to step into what He was truly calling me to do.

We’ll talk about:

• Why we stay stuck in comfortable but unfulfilling seasons
• How fear keeps us from stepping into the “more” God has for us
• The mindset shift that will help you move from full to fulfilled

Sis, if you’ve been feeling restless, overwhelmed, or simply unsettled, this episode is for you.

Tune in now and let’s talk about how to step into the life of peace and purpose God has designed for you.

Vision isn’t just about seeing where you’re going—it’s about trusting God with every step. Over the past week, we’ve explored what it means to renew your vision, align with God’s will, push past fear and doubt, persevere through challenges, and surround yourself with the right people. But now that this series is ending, how do you keep moving forward?

In this final episode of the Renewed for the Journey series, we’re diving into:
✨ Why renewing your vision is an ongoing process, not a one-time event.
✨ What to do when uncertainty, fear, or distractions try to shake your focus.
✨ How to align your goals with God’s purpose and take faith-filled action.
✨ The importance of perseverance—especially when the finish line feels out of reach.

The vision God has given you doesn’t end here—it’s just beginning. Let’s talk about how to stay the course, trust God’s timing, and walk boldly into what He has prepared for you.
