Are you a priority in your own life?


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 off, instead of the refuge it’s meant to be.

That’s why I’m curating this experience and creating JOYrney Daily™: RESTED & ROOTED.

It’s not about reading more.
It’s about carving out sacred space:

  • Moments of true quiet
  • Time to deepen your faith
  • Space to see the big picture of this season
  • The chance to make rested decisions instead of reactive ones

If you’re asking yourself, “Why is daily time in the Word the answer to all this overwhelm?”

Over the past 8 years of committing to my daily study practice, here’s what I’ve learned:
We’re not burned out because we’re busy.
We’re burned out because we’re disconnected.

✨ Disconnected from God’s love — how He sees us and desires the best for us.
✨ Disconnected from the truth that His love existed long before we knew we needed it.
✨ Disconnected from daily reminders of what truly matters.

When we lose daily intimacy with God:


✅ We work harder to prove ourselves.
✅ We measure our worth by what we can achieve.
✅ Our lives fill with noise.
✅ We forget what matters most.
✅ We try to pour from empty.

We lose the JOY that comes with truly resting in the Lord.

JOYrney Daily™: RESTED & ROOTED isn’t about adding one more obligation.
It’s about building a practice:

  • Hearing God’s voice above the chaos
  • Gently choosing the REST of His presence first — even in your busiest seasons
  • Equipping yourself to handle everything else with peace, clarity, and grace

Because when you do this consistently –
You start to think differently.
You move differently.

More aligned.
More confident.
More free.

That’s what we’ll work on together each week — through scripture, guided journaling, tailored coaching, and real Spirit-filled community.

✨ Applications are open now.
✨ Founding Member pricing ends July 6th (or once 10 spots are filled).

👉🏾 If you’re feeling that nudge, I’d be honored to hold space for you. APPLY HERE.

From there, we can set up a time to chat. I’d love to hear where you’re at and help you discern if this is the right next step.


I’ll leave you with this #JOYGem:

Recently one of my favorite scriptures to meditate on has been this: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28

If you want to hear even more of what that REST looks like in our modern world as busy women and how we can achieve it, check out a recent podcast episode I recorded about it HERE!

Not your season right now? That’s okay. Just reply “Not now” and I’ll keep you in prayer!

Have a blessed and JOY-filled day, friend!

Hey Reader heyyyyyy! Happy FriYayyyyy, friend! Not sure if you know this, but today is my birthday! And it's already off to such a beautiful start. 🥹🙌🏾 This morning I returned to the exact same spot where I watched the sunrise and spent time with the Lord on my birthday last year. At this point, I think we've officially started a new tradition. 😊 As I sat with my Bible, prayed, and reflected on this past year (and the fact that I'm stepping into the final year of my 30s 😬), one word kept...

Hey Reader heyyyyyy! It has been MONTHS since we've last spoken... and friend, I've missed you! I pray you've been well, that your summer is off to a beautiful start, and that you've found moments of rest, joy, and God's presence in the midst of whatever this season is bringing your way. Over here, life has been full of change. And if I'm honest, one prayer has been on: "Lord, please give me the courage to do the scary things." Lately, I've realized that most of the scary things God is asking...

Hey Reader heeeyyyy! Happy Monday! How was your weekend? Mine was beautiful. We spent it in Baltimore celebrating my nephew’s first trip around the sun — and for nearly 48 hours… I barely looked at my phone. And honestly? It felt AMAZING. Which was especially meaningful because the the past week I had been sitting with a couple questions inspired by this thought: "Time multiplies whatever you feed it." I heard that while listening to an episode of The Diary of a CEO podcast, and my immediate...
