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We’re halfway through 2025 — and if your goals feel a little off or outdated… you’re not alone.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

We’re on the JOYrney™ together …ONE feel-good thing at a time!

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.

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...
