Have you been dealing with chronic symptoms? Do doctors tell you it's all in your head? If so, you're not alone.
I've had countless tests run over the years, tons of blood work, scans, ultasounds, and MRIs only to be told "Everything looks fine. You're healthy and perfectly normal." when I felt anything BUT fine and normal. In this episode I'll share the recent testing done and how I found out there's actually a lot going on under the surface that traditional doctors were missing.
Why does this matter? Because maybe it's not "all in your head". Maybe you're not a bad mom or a bad Christian. Maybe there is an actual reason you're feeling this way. And more importantly, maybe there IS a way to heal and feel better! If you've been struggling for a while without answers I'm so glad you found this episode. Press play and let's get started!

When we're weak, He is strong. I can't think of more times I've felt weak than as a mom. In this conversation, I sit down with Emily Jensen to discuss how we can respond when we feel weak, regardless of the circumstances.
I pray this conversation encourages you and reminds you of truth. Maybe you, like me, will discover that weakness is something we can embrace instead of run away from. And that God can even use it to draw us closer to Him.
Emily is an author, a podcaster, and the cofounder and content director of Risen Motherhood. Her latest book, He is Strong: Devotions for When You Feel Weak, encourages us to rest in God’s help and strength for every one of our inadequacies.

We rarely talk about the process. The messy middle. The unknowns and the frustration. This conversation is for the girl who is wrestling with God, fumbling her way through the season she's in, and wonders if ANYONE else is struggling as hard as her.
It's me. I'm her. How about you? It's hard to be in process. It's hard to feel like you're always problem solving and figuring things out day by day. But if you find yourself in a similar place, I hope you know you're not alone! Press play and let's get started♡Ready to take your time back? Grab the FREE GUIDE here!

Does finding God's purpose for your life feel exhausting? Does setting vision leave you feeling anxious? Are you looking for practical ways to move forward in your calling?
Today's conversation with Ciara Laine Myers is not only encouraging, but full of practical ways you can seek God in these areas and take baby steps forward even if you can't see God from where you're currently standing.
Ciara is a wife, mother, award-winning business owner, and author of Glasses Off: Seeing God When Your Vision Is Gone. In her book, Ciara unpacks the need to find our place in the world and guides readers to solidify their faith in God to find their true calling.In a fresh and modern way, Myers shares her struggles to believe that God made her for a specific purpose and how living with the lack of clarity and validation from God left her feeling exhausted, drained and anxious, but after shifting her focus and seeking God out, He showed her His vision. Through captivating personal stories, Myers walks readers through her journey of how God helped identify her true calling to create and write.
