Day 14: What Do I Need to Fully Release Today?
Send a text In today’s episode, I’m sitting with a question that’s stretching me in the best way: What do I need to fully release so I can fully receive what God is trying to give me? I talk about the tension of holding on to old identities, old urgencies, and old rhythms that no longer fit the woman I’m becoming. I share how God keeps inviting me into ease, clarity, and a softer rhythm — and how that invitation requires open hands, not clenched ones. This episode is for anyone feeling the ...

Day 13: What Am I Carrying That Isn’t Mine?
Send a text Today I’m sitting with a gentle but necessary question: What am I carrying that I’m not supposed to carry? So often, the pressure, urgency, and weight I feel… I’m the one who created it. And a lot of what I hold onto was never meant for me to carry alone in the first place. I reflect on the scriptures that remind me to cast my cares and burdens on the Lord because He cares for me and sustains me. This episode is an invitation to look honestly at the heaviness we’ve picked up—worry...

Day 12: What Permission Do I Need to Give Myself?
Send a text Today’s episode is short, simple, and so necessary. I’m sitting with one question that’s been grounding me in this season of transition: “What permission do I need to give myself so I can move forward with peace instead of pressure?” For so long, I equated transition with punishment. I thought I had to hurry, control, and force outcomes. But when I really look at it, so much of that urgency was rooted in fear—stories I created in my mind, not truth. In this season of transition I ...

Day 11: What’s Stirring in Your Spirit?
Send a text Today I’m sitting with a question I can’t shake: What is the next thing being stirred in my spirit—even if I can’t explain it yet? Not the edited version. Not the realistic version. The uncensored, unfiltered whisper. There’s something about allowing yourself to name the nudge without talking yourself out of it. So I’m letting myself dream without shrinking, and I’m inviting you to do the same. What’s that quiet invitation that keeps returning? What’s been pulling on your heart? ...

Day 10: If you could write this next chapter, what would you write?
Send a text In today’s episode, I reflect on the scripture, “My tongue is the pen of a ready writer,” and what it means to speak with intention. I ask myself — and you — a simple but powerful question: If your words are writing the next chapter, what are you speaking into being? I share how I’m choosing to declare peace, favor, clarity, and joy over this season, trusting that my words carry creative power. This episode is a reminder that our story is still unfolding, and we have the authority...

Day 9: How will I speak over this moment?
Send a text The question I’m sitting with today is this: 👉🏽 If I truly believe that life and death are in the power of the tongue, how would I speak over this moment? Sometimes it’s so easy to forget that our words aren’t just sounds — they’re containers. They carry direction, atmosphere, and weight. The way I speak over a moment becomes the way I experience it. In this episode, I share how I’ve been reflecting on the power of my words — not just what I say out loud, but the silent dial...

Day 7: What if you truly believe you were right where you need to be?
Send a text Today I had this question looping in my spirit: What would it look like if I actually believed that I am right where I need to be? This came up because I noticed myself slipping back into those old patterns — the urgency, the need to produce something, the itch to control the moment so nothing falls apart. That part of me that thinks my worth is tied to what I can show for myself. But when I slowed down, I realized… maybe the falling apart is the thing that’s making room for somet...

Day 6: What Is This Moment Trying to Give You?

I open up about how easy it is for me to slip back into striving, overachieving, staying relevant, or trying to control what God has already released me from. This episode is really a pause… an invitation to notice the transformation God might...

Day 5: What Do I Need to Believe Right Now?
Send a text Today I’m sitting with a simple but grounding question: What do I need to believe about myself - and about God’s sovereignty - in this moment? I think about David in 1 Samuel 17, standing before Saul, naming the evidence of who he was and the evidence of who God had already been to him. He didn’t hype himself up he remembered. He pulled from his history with God. So I’m asking myself the same thing: What truth do I need to stand on today, and what evidence do I already...
