The JOYrney™ isn’t always loud… but it’s always leading somewhere. 😉 Hey Reader, Happy FriYAYYYYYYY!!!! I’ve been feeling a little ✨SPARKLY✨ this week — but not because of anything particularly flashy. More because I’ve been sitting with a question: How do you lead when the work you’re doing goes unseen? That’s the question I’ve been sitting with lately — especially with all 3 kiddos home for summer break. This season has slowed me down (whether I planned for it or not 😅), and in that...

Hey Reader, Happy FriYaaayy! I wanted to share something a little personal with you today. UPATE: I didn’t get the job. (I told you I’d keep you updated!) But here’s the thing: I’m actually celebrating this “no.” When something doesn’t work out the way you planned, it’s so easy to feel discouraged or question your worth. But this experience? It left me feeling incredibly grateful. Here are 4 reasons I’m celebrating this “no”. The JOY of putting myself out there in a new way — and remembering...

Hey Reader, Happy Tuesday! How is your week going so far?! My first full week of being 38 wore me OUT. But in all the best ways possible. 😊 Lol Every year for my birthday I spent time to really reflect. I typically do this as a journal entry – but this year I did it as a LIVE podcast episode. This past year has taught me more than any planner, productivity hack, or hustle ever could. It’s taught me about rest.About abiding.About slowing down enough to hear God’s voice whisper. So for my...

Hey Reader, Let’s chat. Maybe you’re holding it all together for everyone else — while feeling empty inside.Maybe you’ve gotten so good at doing that you’ve forgotten how to just be. And you might be wondering: “Why do I need this?” “Why now?” Here’s the truth: You don’t need me to find REST.But you might need help making space for it. But you and I both know the problem: There never seems to be ENOUGH TIME. Life is noisy. Demanding. Faith can start to feel like just another thing to check...

This is about to be me 👆🏾 JK. Not really. I don’t do clubs (was never really my thing). But if it’s giving Acts 2:42 energy — you know, a sanctified gathering of the saints with fellowship, good food, and good music — I might just pull up! 😂 lol Hey Reader heyyyyy, and Happy FriYAYYYYYY! We’re T-minus 4 days from my birthday — July 3rd! 🎂 So here’s the BIG news: After months of prayer, journaling, and time offline with the Lord… I’m launching something really special on my birthday: 🌿 RESTED...

#JOYGem For The Week:“Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes… including you.” — Anne Lamott Hey hey Reader, and Happy FriYAYYYYYY! What's on my mind this week: Rest isn’t laziness. It’s leadership. Most women I speak with, coach, and meet are running on fumes — managing a household, building a career, holding it all together —and wondering why they feel burned out. But here’s the thing: Sometimes, doing less is how God prepares you for more. This week’s episode...
