#47 A Summer Reset For Overwhelmed Moms
Send me a text – I always love hearing from you! ✨ Summer has a way of turning even the most grounded mom into a full-time juggler: louder houses, more meals, less structure, and that quiet pressure to “make all the memories.” This episode shares a strength reset you can actually use when the days start to feel bonkers and you’re tempted to believe you have to hold everything together. We anchor in Philippians 4:12-13 and talk about what that famous verse really means. It’s not a ...

#46 Learn the Ultimate Gratitude Hack for Your Life
Send me a text – I always love hearing from you! ✨ Summer has a way of turning the volume up, on schedules, on stress, on old habits we thought we’d outgrown. So, I’m opening Psalm 107 and reading it slowly, because it’s one of the clearest pictures I know of real life with God: we wander, we end up hungry or stuck, we hit storms that take us to the end of ourselves, and then we cry out and He delivers. The line that keeps repeating becomes the heartbeat of the whole message: “Let them g...

#45 How To Spot False Teaching And Stay Anchored
Send me a text – I always love hearing from you! ✨ The loud world is not neutral, and the most confident voice in your feed is not automatically the voice of God. We're getting ready for summer by talking about something that can sound intense at first, but ends up being deeply freeing: false teachings and how to spot them. We start in 1 John 4 with a clear command to test the spirits, because not every message that sounds spiritual carries the Spirit of Truth. From there, we walk throu...

#44 Stop Eye Rolling. Start Growing.
Send me a text – I always love hearing from you! ✨ Big moments don’t come from big beginnings, they come from tiny, repeated yeses that nobody applauds. In this episode, Desireé picks back up with King David and pulls in 3 anchor passages to show how God trains our faith in the ordinary long before anything looks “important” on the outside. We talk about the uncomfortable truth that God sees what others don’t and why that’s both comforting and confronting. I share a very real example of...

#43 This is Not The End
Send me a text – I always love hearing from you! ✨ Trust gets real when life stops cooperating. In this episode, we hold two prayers side by side that most of us would never think to pair: David’s calm confidence in 2 Samuel 7:28, “Your covenant is trustworthy,” and Jesus’ gut-level surrender in Luke 22:42, “Not my will but yours be done.” Together, they show a faith that holds up in both the praise and the pit. We talk about the power of God in a way that actually meets real life...

#42: Your Thoughts Are Building Your Life
Send me a text – I always love hearing from you! ✨ Your thoughts are not just background noise, they’re building something. This episode shows you how what’s happening beneath the surface shapes what you say, what you choose, and what you believe about yourself. If you’ve been stuck in fear, discouragement, or that low-grade heaviness that won’t quit, we’re going to get practical about your thought life and start swapping lies for truth. Desireé shares a simple reframe that can shift yo...

#41: 2,000 Years Later… How the Resurrection Changes Everything for Us Today
Send me a text – I always love hearing from you! ✨ Easter morning is a breathtaking headline, but the real question hits on a random afternoon in the middle of our lives: what does the resurrection actually change for life right now? To answer this, we can look to Romans 5 because I want Scripture to feel alive when your week feels chaotic, your heart feels heavy, or your thoughts won’t slow down. In this episode, I share a helpful backdrop to Paul’s letter to the Romans, then we walk s...

#40: Four Gospels & One Empty Tomb
Send me a text – I always love hearing from you! ✨ An earthquake. Rolled-away stone. Angels who speak like certainty. And one moment so personal it feels like it was written for you. As Lent comes to a close, we pull the resurrection story from Matthew 28, Mark 16, Luke 24, and John 20 and weave the four Gospel accounts into one clear, faith-strengthening picture of the empty tomb. We talk about why the stories aren’t identical and why that actually builds confidence instead of confusion...

#39: Realignment For Body And Soul
Send me a text – I always love hearing from you! ✨ Burnout can look like faithfulness when everyone depends on you, but God never asked you to disappear to prove you love Him. We’re continuing our Lent series with a topic we often avoid: our bodies. Not as a project, not as a problem, not as a measure of worth, but as sacred space. We name the lies out loud: that your worth is based on how you look, that your body only matters when it performs, and that rest is for lazy peop...

#38: The "S" Word
Send me a text – I always love hearing from you! ✨ The "S" word can make us bristle because it sounds like loss, weakness, or giving up control. During this Lent reflection, the whole idea is slowed down and rebuilt it the way Scripture describes it. We talk about why “control” is often a comforting lie. Then we step into one of the most raw moments in the Bible: Jesus in Luke 22 at the Mount of Olives, praying. We bring surrender down into everyday life with Proverbs. Finally, we notic...
