Can you believe it?


Hey hey, Reader!

Can you believe we’re already halfway through the year?! 😮‍💨

We’re halfway through 2025 — and if your goals feel a little off or outdated… you’re not alone.

If you’ve been feeling off-track, stuck, or unsure about your goals, consider this your mid-year permission slip to pause, reset… and pivot with JOY.

Last week, I revisited my VISION B.I.N.G.O. board and had a moment of clarity: Some things I set out to do this year still deeply resonate. Others? Not so much.

Yes, there’s been growth (our baby girl Kaiya just turned one — praise God!), but there were also goals on that board that no longer felt aligned. Some things were nice ideas… but not for this season.

So at the start of June I made a decision: To LOG OFF, so I can LOCK IN.

For the next 30 days, I’m unplugging from social to reconnect with the bigger vision God’s placed on my heart —especially the one to help women grow deeper in faith and study scripture (more on that below! ☺️).

Now let’s talk about you!

If you’ve been feeling:

  • Out of alignment
  • Overwhelmed by your to-do list
  • Or underwhelmed by your progress...

Mid-year isn’t the time to quit — it’s the time to pivot with purpose.

Here are a few ways that you can get going, and reset your vision with clarity (and JOY):

  1. Seek God’s will – Spend time with Him. Ask what He’s doing in you and through you in this season.
  2. Follow the JOY – What goals have lit you up? What has felt like a drag? Your feelings are data.
  3. Spend wisely – If something is draining your peace and stealing your time, maybe it’s not for right now.

This is your chance to realign your goals with what actually matters. So if you’ve been waiting for a sign to switch gears, this is it.

I’m rooting for you, and can’t wait to see where your vision takes you!

P.S.: I’d love your help!
One of the biggest things God has placed on my heart this season is forming a faith-based community for women craving more peace, purpose, and JOY through scripture.

If that sounds like something your soul’s been longing for — reply “I’m in” and I’ll make sure you’re the first to know as it comes together. ☺️

You can also help in a small way: Share this week’s video message!
If it speaks to you, forward it to a friend who’s been in a season of spiritual reset — or repost it with a quick note on why it hit home.

Because the truth is: someone out there is waiting for the nudge you’ve probably already received.


Thank you for helping them get started!


The JOYrney To Purpose® Podcast
🎙️ New Episode: JOYrney™ To: Making the most of your time

If you’ve been stuck in doing mode, this episode will hit different.

In this week’s episode of the JOYrney To Purpose® Podcast, I’m walking you through Luke 10:38–42 — the story of Mary and Martha – and how easily we can confuse service with surrender.

If you’re tired of feeling busy I’m sharing a few personal revelations that helped me reframe my time, priorities, and presence with God.

We’re talking about the difference between performance and presence… and how to choose JOY in a world that’s constantly asking us to do more.

Happy Hump Day, Reader! How is your month going? And while we’re at it… how’s your mental? We’re still in May — which means it’s Mental Health Awareness Month, and with the attention of Mother’s Day already far in our rear-view, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about what it actually means to support women —especially those navigating motherhood and caregiving. 🥹 She selected this sign all on her own. 🥰 What’s on my mind today: The other day, I saw a TikTok from a well-known influencer in...

At the Friends School of Baltimore Campus w/ the fam - May 2025 Happy FriYAYYYYY, Reader! At The Friends School of Baltimore Campus w/ the fam - May 2025 May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Last week the family and I headed down to Baltimore for my 20th high school reunion. Crazy – I know! 🙈 With this, and Mother’s Day just around the corner, I’ve been reflecting a lot on the journey I've been on the past 20 years of becoming a woman, and what emotional wellness looks like — especially for...

Happy FriYAYYYYY! 💎This Week’s #JOYGem 💎 You’re not forgotten. You’re being preparing for something greater than you imagined! Hey Reader, Have you ever felt like you’re doing everything right… but God still hasn’t moved? Same. I know what it’s like to pray, prepare, stay faithful—and still feel like you’re sitting in the waiting room, wondering if your name will ever be called. But in this week’s Bible study, I was reminded of something powerful: Just because God isn’t moving doesn’t mean He...
