Are you sick and tired of feeling stuck in life? Do you constantly feel like you are trying to manage your responsibilities all at once as a mom, or wife only to be left completely exhausted by the end of each day? Do you deal with crippling fear & doubt that can invade your mind at any given moment and weighs you down mentally? Do you find yourself struggling with your self-worth and confidence when it comes to putting yourself first? Have you wrestled with the desire to grow deeper in relationship with God and see His plan for your life come to fruition, but you are still a little scared?

Your new bestie, coach, mentor and sister in Christ that cannot wait to speak life into you and activate you to take action in the life that you have been so blessed with. I remember the days where I was hiding behind the very things that were robbing me of all of my time and energy. I was crippled by fear of failure, the opinions of others and lacked major boundaries. I was operating in a lack mentality in my motherhood, overcommitted to things that weren’t fully serving me and not letting my husband in on my mind battles. Not to mention allowing my relationship with God to be on the back burner because hello- there was no time for that. That was a recipe for disaster that quickly led to burn out and frustration. It wasn’t until I realized that I was absolutely not alone, and so many other women were struggling with the same things that I began to be honest with myself. I have since been able to apply a framework in structuring my life that has changed everything for the better. Through this podcast I will share with you HOW to: • Discover, design & develop a vision the vision God has for you • Simplify your daily systems to bring transformation in your mental, emotional & physical health • Embrace the power of consistency and release the perfectionistic mindset once and for all • Heal from your past and not let it hinder your future • Find joy in your Journey to Becoming all that God has created you to be I am honored to be on this journey alongside you, grab your amazingly oversized water bottle & let’s live out our God dreams, together!

Have you ever tried to restart an old routine that once worked perfectly, only to find it no longer fits your life today? In this episode of The Journey to Becoming, I’m talking about what it really means to “start again” with grace, intentionality, and God at the center. Instead of trying to force yourself back into a system or routine that worked in a past season, I’ll walk you through how to create a rhythm that works for where you are right now.
We’ll dive into:
Why the routines that served you in the past may not serve you in your current season
How to stop shaming yourself for “falling off track” and instead embrace a fresh start
Practical steps to design a sustainable system that aligns with your faith, priorities, and daily responsibilities
How to invite God into the process so that your routines are more than just habits—they’re life-giving rhythms that help you flourish
Whether you’re juggling motherhood, navigating career changes, or just feeling stuck in overwhelm, this conversation will give you the tools and encouragement you need to reset with confidence. You don’t have to go back to the old version of you to move forward—you can start fresh today.
If you’ve been craving clarity, consistency, and a routine that actually feels doable, this episode will remind you that starting again isn’t a setback—it’s a new opportunity for growth.

Welcome to Week 9 — the final week of Fruitful Girl Summer! 🌸 This week, we’re tackling a fruit of the Spirit that can be one of the hardest to master — self-control.
The world often tells us to “follow our feelings,” but God calls us to live led by the Spirit, not by our impulses. 💪 In this episode, I’m sharing what the Bible says about self-control, how it protects your purpose, and why it’s a key to living in freedom rather than bondage.
✨ We’ll dig into scriptures like Galatians 5:19-21 and Titus 2:11-12, and talk about how self-control impacts everything from your thoughts and words to your habits and relationships. You’ll discover how it’s not about willpower alone, but about relying on the Holy Spirit to help you choose what’s best over what’s easy.
👀 PLUS: I’m giving you this week’s self-control challenge and reflection questions to help you put what you learn into action — so you don’t just hear the Word, but live it.
Whether you’re working on breaking unhealthy patterns, creating new routines, or guarding your heart and mind, this episode will give you practical tools and spiritual encouragement to walk in discipline and grace. 💛

This week’s Fruitful Girl Summer episode is extra special because I’m joined by my sweet 11-year-old daughter to talk all about kindness—what it means, how it impacts others, and why it matters so much to God. 💛
We’re diving into Colossians 3:12 and other powerful scriptures that show us how kindness isn’t just being “nice”—it’s a reflection of Jesus’ heart. His kindness leads us to repentance, transformation, and freedom. In this conversation, we share real-life stories (including one from a recent dance competition!) and practical ways to grow in kindness as a family.
This is a great episode to listen to with your kids, or share with your mom group or church community. We pray it encourages meaningful conversations in your home and reminds you that small acts of kindness can make a big Kingdom impact.

🌸 Fruitful Girl Summer! 🍓
✨ Welcome to Week 4 of Fruitful Girl Summer! ✨ This week, we’re talking all about 🍓 Patience — the kind that reflects the heart of our loving, faithful, and patient God.
Let’s be real: patience doesn’t come easy in a world that wants everything right now. Whether you're stuck in traffic, waiting for a prayer to be answered, or growing weary with people or even yourself… we all have moments where our patience wears thin. But here’s the truth: God is patient with us—it's in His nature. And as daughters of God, we are called to mirror that same kind of grace.
In this episode of The Journey to Becoming Podcast, we’ll explore how to become more self-aware of the areas in our life where patience is needed most. You’ll be invited to slow down, check your heart, and ask: 💭 Where am I struggling to wait well? 💭 Who or what is testing my patience? 💭 Am I extending the same grace to others that God has given to me?
🌼 Plus, you’ll get a simple but powerful Fruitful Girl Daily Challenge to help you practice patience on purpose today.
This episode is for the woman who’s ready to stop striving, start trusting, and embrace the slow, steady work God is doing in her life. You’re not being delayed—you’re being developed. 💕

🌸 Fruitful Girl Summer! 🍓
Welcome to Week 3 of Fruitful Girl Summer —our 9-week journey walking through the fruit of the Spirit as found in Galatians 5:22–23. This week, we’re leaning into the gift and fruit of PEACE 🕊️—a peace that doesn’t come from your circumstances, but from the presence of God Himself.
In this episode, we’re looking at:
🌊 How God promises peace that flows like a river (Isaiah 66:12) 💪 What it means for peace to surpass all understanding (Philippians 4:6–7) 🤝 Why Jesus calls us blessed when we choose to be peacemakers (Matthew 5:9) 🌾 How discipline and repentance lead to a peaceful harvest in our lives (Hebrews 12:11)
Peace isn’t passive—it’s powerful. 🙏 In order to truly receive the peace God has for us, we must also be willing to let go of what’s stealing it. That might mean repenting, releasing control, or saying no to distractions that keep you from abiding in Christ.
✨ Don’t forget: at the end of this episode, you’ll find your Peace Challenge of the Week to help you practice walking in the fruit of peace in a tangible way. Be sure to screenshot it, share it, and tag me so I can cheer you on! 🎉
👯♀️ Invite a friend to join you in the challenge—because growing fruitfully is even better in community.
Let’s keep becoming the women God created us to be—full of peace and anchored in His presence. 💖
