Iâm so excited to kick off a two-week series with Kari Kampakis on raising girls! We dive into everything from the drama of friendship struggles and those classic mean girl moments to the surprisingly powerful role that loneliness plays in building resilience. These topics are just a few highlights from her new girlsâ devotional, Yours Not Hersâan absolute must-have for girls from junior high through college!
I couldnât help but laugh (and sometimes cringe) as we unpacked how social media has turned even the simplest interactions into epic battlegrounds of comparison and envy. I shared my own struggles with setting boundariesânot just for our kids, but for myselfâand we both agreed that teaching our daughters to be kind, resilient, and open about their feelings is more crucial now than ever.
Todayâs conversation with Kari is equal parts funny, heartfelt, and downright honestâreminding us that while the digital age may complicate parenting, our commitment to nurturing strong, compassionate girls remains timeless. Enjoy the episode!

Happy Valentineâs Week! đđđđđ
First, I want to say thank you for the kind words and incredible response to last weekâs episode, where I went rogue with a solo show. Iâm so glad it encouraged you! Yes, Iâm hoping to do more episodes like this after I finish the book Iâm currently working on.
Iâm excited for our show today, because Iâm chatting with Jess Johnston and Amy Weatherly about a topic that hits home for so many of usâperfectionism, vulnerability, and the beauty of authentic friendships. We talk about the impossible standards we set for ourselves, the way societal expectations can warp our self-worth, and how true growth happens when we stop pretending and start being real.
Jess and Amy open up about their own struggles with perfectionism and how learning to embrace imperfection has led to deeper, more meaningful relationships. We dive into the importance of community and why letting people inâeven when it feels messyâcan be the most freeing thing we do. If you've ever found yourself exhausted from trying to have it all together, this episode is for you.
So, take a deep breath, let go of the need to be perfect, and join us for a conversation that just might change the way you approach your friendships, identity, and lots more!

Hey Friends,
Itâs February, which means Valentineâs Day is upon usâbut more importantly, it marks the one-year anniversary of my first book, Life is Messy, God is Good!
Looking back over the past year, Iâm overwhelmed with gratitude for the friends and family who have walked this journey with me. Whether you bought the book, shared it with a friend, left a review, hosted a book launch party, or prayed for my words to make an impactâyouâve been part of this crazy adventure, and I couldnât be more thankful.
Maybe itâs the nostalgia of this milestone, or maybe itâs just menopause brain fog (letâs be honest, probably both), but Iâm feeling all the feels. So, this week on MESSmerized, Iâm doing something a little differentâno guest, just me and the mic! Thatâs right, Iâll be having a conversation (with myself, as one does) about three key areas where I believe we need to give ourselves permission to pivot.
These thoughts stem from a womenâs leadership conference where I recently spoke about the importance of:
â Redefining success
â Reprioritizing our days
â Doing things that donât always make senseAnd since weâre celebrating my bookâs anniversary, Iâll also share a few stories straight from its pagesâbecause what better time to reflect on this wild ride?
So, tune in, laugh with me, and letâs get personal. And if this episode speaks to you, Iâd love for you to share it with a friend.
Thanks for showing up each week and walking this road with me. Iâm in it with you!

Happy Wednesday!
Is it just me, or did January last six months? I cannot handle one more school holiday, winter illness, or Πinch of snow canceling school. But I digress.
Iâm thrilled to round out this month with an amazing conversation featuring Melanie Shankle. And yes, Amy Weatherly is still co-hosting with me, and I couldnât be more grateful!
To know me is to know that Iâve been a huge fan of Melanieâs books for years. I was so excited to hear she has a new one coming out, andâspoiler alertâit might just be my favorite yet! Today, weâre covering topics like parenting teenage daughters, the insights we gain through years of motherhood, and the importance of teaching our kids resilience. Melanie also opens up about her strained relationship with her mother and her decision to end generational trauma.
Melanieâs book releases on February 18th, and now is the perfect time to pre-order it. Iâve read it cover to cover, and trust meâthereâs something for everyone in this book.
I canât wait for you to hear this conversation... and I really canât wait for January to finally end. đđđ

Iâm thrilled to have Amy Weatherly back co-hosting MESSmerized with me for this exciting episode, because weâre chatting with the incredible Annie F. Downs!
Annie is living the dream (and the hustle) part-time in New York City, and let me tell you, sheâs not just surviving; sheâs thriving. For those of us whoâve dreamed of moving to NYC but stayed safely tucked away in places like North Dallas (okay, maybe that's just me), Annie made it happen. And Iâm so excited to share her journey with you!
On a more serious note, we dive into body image, health, and unresolutions. Annie shares how her perspective on health shifted from trying to shrink her body to focusing on living a long, full life. We also talk about her deeply personal new book, Where Did TJ Go?, co-written with her sister. This book is a beautiful resource for families grieving the loss of a child. Inspired by the life and passing of her nephew TJ, it offers gentle hope and reminds us of the faith we hold onto, even in our hardest moments. Raw, redemptive, and a testament to Godâs goodness in every circumstance.
If thereâs one takeaway from Annieâs journey, itâs this: Donât shy away from doing the big, scary, or hard things. Whether itâs moving to a new city, embracing your body as it is, or walking through grief, the Lord shows up every step of the way. Annie is living proof that even in the hardest moments, thereâs beauty and joy in the unexpected.
Canât wait for you to listen! đ

Just in case you missed the announcement last week, Amy Weatherly is co-hosting MESSmerized with me this month, and gosh, sheâs so much fun. Today, weâre continuing our commitment to un-resolutions by chatting with the amazing Kendra Adachi about time management.
This conversation is absolutely not what you think itâs going to be because Kendra is flipping time management on its head. Apparently, weâve been doing it all wrongâwho knew? She talks about creating systems that actually make sense for women. This includes recognizing the beauty of both proactive and reactive time managementâbasically, having a plan but also being cool with the fact that life is messy and plans sometimes (okay, often) fall apart.
What really struck me, though, was our chat about self-compassion. Why are we so hard on ourselves? We talked about living in the moment, starting small, and letting go of this pressure to do everything perfectly. Spoiler: you donât have to color-code your planner to be a successful human.
So, if youâre like meâjuggling a million things, tired of feeling like youâre never doing enough, and low-key fantasizing about running away to a quiet cabin somewhereâthis episode is for you. Letâs ditch the guilt, embrace the chaos, and redefine what success looks like for us.

New year, new resolutions⊠right? Nope, not this year!
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas filled with fun memories! At the beginning of todayâs show, Iâll be sharing some of my favorite holiday moments, gifts, and God-moments. But Iâm also super excited to let you know that the fabulous Amy Weatherly is co-hosting with me all through January, and we are going to have so much fun!
Amy is a wife, mother, author, and the founder of a huge Facebook community focused on friendship, faith, and loving ourselves well. It seemed only fitting that, in our first episode together, Amy and I are taking a refreshing break from the usual goal-setting chaos. Instead of striving for perfection or adding more to our already overflowing plates, weâre talking about slowing down, embracing who we really are, and focusing on what truly matters.
I think you're going to find todayâs show to be the perfect blend of humor, honesty, and relatable moments. Weâll discuss how to find joy in simply being who the Lord created us to be. Whether you're tired of the typical "new year, new me" hustle or you just need permission to take things at your own pace, this episode is for you. So, grab your favorite drink, get comfy, and letâs kick off 2025 with a fresh perspective. I canât wait for you to meet Amy!

First of all, we've had a bit of a "situation" over here, and Iâll share all the details in todayâs intro. But hereâs a little teaser: neighbors, overgrown shrubs, and me sneaking out in the cloak of darkness. If that doesnât paint a picture thatâll make you want to listen, I donât know what will! đđđ
Today, Iâm thrilled to have Lanier Ivester on the show, and weâre talking all things Christmasâdecor, recipes, and hosting. Lanier reminds us that the holiday season can feel both joyful and overwhelming. In fact, nine out of ten people experience both emotions during this time of year. Her advice? Acknowledge the tension and remember that Christmas is about rest, not busyness. I loved it when she said, "We work from a place of rest." Itâs such a powerful reminder to shift our focus from the never-ending to-do lists to Godâs love.
The title of Lanierâs new Christmas book, Glad & Golden Hours, comes from a verse in It Came Upon a Midnight Clear that beautifully captures the hope and peace of Christâs coming. Todayâs conversation really reminded me that Christmas doesnât have to be perfect to be beautiful. Itâs about slowing down, creating space for rest, and anchoring our hearts in the joy of Christâs birth.
I hope youâll take a few minutes to listen today and embrace the final days before we celebrate Jesus' birth!

Weâre just a couple of weeks out from Christmas đđđ and it feels like thereâs more to be done than hours in the day. Yet, I often find myself on Instagram cracking up at all the random Christmas humor. Last week, I came across this little gem that made me laugh much harder than it probably should have:
"I accidentally used momâs fabric scissors to cut wrapping paper, and now the cops are here." - Unknown Author
But I digress.
Today on MESSmerized, we get to hear from Pastor Louie Giglio (and you guys know how much I love Pastor Louie and the impact heâs had on my life since I was in college a million years ago).
We have such a great conversation about the powerful truths in Psalm 84:11 and what it really means to walk in Godâs grace, reflect His glory, and trust in His goodnessâeven when life feels really, really hard.
Pastor Louie offers a fresh perspective on Godâs grace, showing us itâs not just for salvationâitâs for the carpool lines, parent-teacher conferences, and every messy moment of life. He also discusses why living for Godâs glory can flip the script on how we see ourselves, our work, and our calling.
If youâre struggling to see Godâs goodness in the hard seasons or wrestling with what it means to truly live for His glory, this episode is for you. I believe Pastor Louieâs words will inspire, challenge, and encourage you to live differently, wherever God has placed you. And as an added bonus, this conversation is perfect entertainment for those long hours of present wrapping.

Brace yourselves!
I cannot even begin to tell you how excited I am about todayâs show with Dallas Jenkins. Dallas is the genius behind The Chosen and now The Best Christmas Pageant Ever. And let me just say, after this conversation, I walked away ready to ugly cry in a theater over the cigar-smoking Herdman kids finding Jesus. Thatâs exactly what happened over Thanksgiving, and the movie was a huge hit with our crew.
So how does Dallas go from The Chosen to a story about the most chaotic, snack-loving kids hijacking a Christmas play? Well, it turns out this book has been a part of his Christmas tradition for 20 years. Dallas told me he had to make this movie, even though Hollywood wasnât exactly rolling out the red carpet for him. Spoiler alert: God had other plans.
But hereâs the thing: A few years ago, I was in a rough spotâone of those times when you're questioning everything Godâs doing in your life. I heard Dallas speak at an event, and he said, âGod does impossible math.â It was like a lightning bolt. Fast forward to this interview, and I got him to retell the full story behind that phrase. It involves failure, Romanian Facebook DMs at 4 a.m., andâof courseâloaves and fish. God showed Dallas (and now us) that our job isnât to perform miracles; itâs simply to show up with whatever we have and trust God to do the rest.
So whether youâre a The Chosen fan, invested in The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, or someone needing a reminder that God works best when weâre at our weakestâthis episode is for you.

Happy Thanksgiving Eve! đŠđŠđŠ
Are you hosting?
Are you roasting a turkey in the oven or deep frying it?
Do you call it stuffing or dressing?
Will you use china or paper products?
Is your weird aunt bringing a gelatin dish?
Canned or homemade cranberries?
Are you a pecan or pumpkin pie kind of girl?
I have so many pressing questions. đ
One of my favorite things about Thanksgiving Day (thanks for asking) is the Macyâs Day Parade. Back in the day, Iâd watch the parade and pore over all the Black Friday ads in the paper before the dayâs festivities began. Iâve never sounded older, right? And another fun fact: Iâve ALWAYS wanted to go to the parade in NYC, but that hasnât happened yet (and itâs fully discussed on todayâs show).
Iâm so thrilled to have Nicole Zasowski with us on MESSmerized today. Not only is she a marriage and family therapist, but she also lives in Connecticut and has been to the parade several times. (Somehow, that seemed more relevant than it probably is, and donât think for a minute that I didnât grill her about the parade and cover that in depth.)
Nicole and I also dive into the intersection of mental health, identity, and the holiday season. We all know that the holidays have the potential to put us on the struggle bus emotionally, but Nicole reminds us that itâs possible to balance joy with the realities of whatâs difficult, experiencing both simultaneously. I love the message and powerful reminder in Nicoleâs new book not to not dwell on our fears and anxieties, but instead to ask ourselves, âWhat if itâs wonderful?â
Thereâs no promise that your turkey will be wonderful tomorrow or that your husband will help with the dishes instead of watching footballâbut I do know that we have so much to be thankful for, and I pray you have plenty of time to reflect on that.

Ruth Chou Simons is with us this week, and trust me, I got down to the real investigative questions like how she manages hotel rooms with six kids and what it was like being on *Good Morning America* earlier this year. Youâre welcome!
But seriously, itâs the week before Thanksgiving đŠđŠ, and todayâs show is an invitation to take a deep breath as we reflect on Godâs goodness. Weâre diving into Psalm 23 and what it really means to have God as our Good Shepherdâthe One who takes care of us, provides for us, and leads us when we donât even know which way is up.
Hereâs the thing about shepherdsâtheyâre not just hanging out, petting sheep all day. Theyâre out there protecting, guiding, and making sure the sheep are safe and cared for. Itâs such a perfect picture of how God watches over us. Ruth reminds us that nothing in our lives is wastedânot the hard stuff, the waiting, or even the complete disasters.
Psalm 23 ends with this beautiful promise that Godâs goodness and mercy chase after us every single day. How freeing is that? We can lean into His care, knowing Heâs got us covered even when it feels like everything is falling apart.
Ruthâs latest childrenâs book, Home is Right Where You Are, is incredible. Itâs all about being present and leaning into Godâs faithfulness in the here and now. Whether youâre a mom, a grandma, or just someone who needs a reminder that Godâs got this, itâs such an encouraging read.
So, letâs take a deep breath and remember that the Good Shepherd is leading us, protecting us, and providing for usâand thatâs reason enough to be thankful this week!

With Thanksgiving around the corner, many of us are thinking about what weâre thankful for, what we might be taking for granted, and what gratitude really looks like. Todayâs show comes at the perfect time, as Mark Batterson helps us reframe everyday miracles and see God in the midst of our daily lives.
Mark encourages us to âchange your pace and place to change your perspective.â Sometimes, to wake up to wonder, we need to step outside our routinesâwhether thatâs by taking a walk or going on a âtwo-foot field trip,â like moving from the living room to the backyard, to see Godâs creation from a fresh angle.
Mark also gets real about the hardships of life. His wife, Laura, has faced her two bouts with cancer. I love how he says that sometimes we have to âforgive realityâ for not lining up with our plans. But Mark reminds us that even though life here can be hard, it doesnât mean weâre forgotten or forsaken. We have a God who is with us and conquers all thingsâeven the grave.
So, whether youâre feeling a million miles away from a miracle or right in the middle of one, todayâs conversation with Mark Batterson will give you hope and renewed reason to be thankful. Miracles may not always be big and flashy; often, theyâre just one of those âmillion little miraclesâ happening all around us.

Remember how Iâve been having lunch every Wednesday with a wonderful group of friends for the last 15+ years? Todayâs show is inspired by those lunchesâbecause lately, all we seem to talk about is midlife and menopause. It's a season, let me tell you!
To help us all navigate this wild ride, Iâm thrilled to bring in a true expert: Dr. Mikala Albertson. Weâre diving deep into everything you never thought you'd need to know about menopause, perimenopause, and all the hormonal roller coasters that come with them. Dr. Albertson has a brilliant way of describing menopause as "puberty in reverse," and her perspective on it is so insightful.
Donât worry, we cover all the symptoms we're dealing withâhot flashes, mood swings, anxiety, weight gain, brain fog, and more. This episode is packed with practical tips, a few laughs, and hopefully, some perspective on not just surviving but thriving in this season of life.
Dr. Albertsonâs new book, Everything I Wish I Could Tell You About Midlife, is out now. And exciting news: sheâs coming back on the show in the New Year! If you have questions youâd like us to cover next time, email them to me!

Todayâs my birthday⊠so thereâs that! đđ And itâs totally not too late to get me a giftâIâll be accepting food-chain gift cards for Diet Dr. Pepper all week long. đ
In honor of my birthday, Iâm kicking off MESSmerized with a little segment I call âThings I Know for Sureâ after celebrating 50+ birthdays. Really rolls off the tongue, right?
But thereâs more! Megan Fate Marshman joins us on the show for the first time ever. Sheâs amazing, and we cover everything from parenting fails to perfecting the elusive messy bun. We even had a little fun comparing stereotypes about Texas and Californiaâbecause apparently, people think Texans ride horses everywhere.
Megan also shared about the sudden loss of her husband and how she has leaned into prayer through her grief and raising their two small children. We talked about those âWhat now, God?â momentsâwhen life takes an unexpected turn and youâre not sure how to move forward. Megan reminds us that prayer doesnât have to be perfect; itâs about being honest and vulnerable with God, even if your mind wanders halfway through. (You know the drill: âDear God⊠wait, did I leave the laundry in the washer?â)
We also dug into Romans 8:28 and how Godâs goodness doesnât always look the way we expect. Itâs not always easy, but knowing that God works for the good in all things gives us hope. Heâs not just with us in the good timesâHeâs right there in the mess, using every struggle to grow us and draw us closer to Him.
Whether youâre navigating the chaos of parenting, dealing with grief, or just trying to survive the day with the help of a few hits of caffeine, God is at work in your life.
So, grab a Diet Dr. Pepper in honor of my birthday and join me for this heartfelt, hope-filled chat with Megan Fate Marshman. I promise youâll leave encouraged.

Today I had the absolute pleasure of chatting with Jon Acuff! If you donât know Jon, heâs like the fun friend who makes you laugh but also slips in the kind of wisdom that makes you go, "Huh... I really needed to hear that." We covered everything from goal-setting and personal development to parenting in a way that doesnât drive us or our kids completely nuts. But what really hit home was our conversation about helping our teens win in life.
Jon had a lot to say about recognizing that every kidâs path is different. As parents, itâs easy to think thereâs one formula to follow, but Jon reminds us that sometimes our job is simply to help our teens define their own version of success. Whether thatâs landing a part-time job or surviving Algebra 2, the goal is to meet them where they are and celebrate the small wins. He also emphasized the importance of creating space for kindnessâbecause kindness isnât just a cute personality trait, itâs a skill. And if we want to raise kind adults, we need to teach kindness now, even when it feels inconvenient (like when your teen is being throwing it down while unloading the dishwasher).
Jon also introduced me to something he calls "performance zones." Basically, itâs all about learning to function well even when life feels chaoticâwhich, letâs be real, describes parenting perfectly. He reminded me that itâs okay to embrace the craziness and find small ways to move forward. No need to have it all figured out todayâor any day, really. And as parents, showing our kids how to handle that kind of chaos with grace is a huge part of preparing them for life.
Whether you're looking to grow as a parent or just as a person, this episode is packed with insights you can use. Trust me, youâre going to love itâand who knows? You might even feel a little more prepared to help your teen win at life, one messy, beautiful day at a time.

Weâve got a new show out today, and Iâm so excited for you to hear this important conversation with Natalie Runion. Weâre going deep into the messy but important topic of church life and the realities of church hurt, how to spot an unhealthy church, and when it might be time to walk awayâor stick around.
We also explored the idea that ministry isnât just for pastors and church staff. Every believer has a ministry! Whether itâs through serving, worshiping, or simply being a witness in your community, youâre making an impact. And if youâre raising kids, itâs crucial to show them the importance of the church by staying involvedâwhether itâs through serving or just building friendships within the church community. What we do now can have a big impact on their views of church, and how it is incorporated in their lives as adults.
This episode is for anyone whoâs felt the sting of church hurt or struggled with whether itâs time to leave a church that no longer feels like home. Itâs a reminder that God calls us to obedience, even when things get messy. If you need some encouragement to keep showing upâor if you're figuring out how to walk away without bitternessâthis oneâs for you.
Make sure to listen, share with a friend, and leave a review if this resonated with you! Letâs keep these conversations going because the church mattersâand so do you.

Today on MESSmerized Iâm hanging out with the amazing Ellie Holcomb, whoâs fresh off a tour with none other than Lauren Daigle. Ellie gives us the scoop on life on the roadâthink tight spaces, late-night chats, and the wild sense of community that comes with sharing a bus. She also gives us an insider peek on her friendship with Lauren, how they ended up collaborating on a song, and their favorite moments on tour (spoiler: their song Be Okay will give you all the feels).
But itâs not all music and funâEllie opens up about the tough stuff too, like balancing the chaos of tour life with family time, and how we moms are out here carrying some heavy loads. She shares a heartfelt story about her daughterâs medical journey and how she juggled being on tour while caring for her little one. Trust me, this is a conversation you donât want to miss.
Ellieâs new book Fighting Words (the expanded version of her devotional) and her album All of My Days talk about Ellieâs journey of battling anxiety, finding hope, and the power of Godâs Word to lift us up when life feels impossible. Vulnerability, repentance, graceâitâs all here.
If youâre looking for a reminder that youâre not alone in the highs and lows, this episodeâs for you. I canât wait for you to listen!
PS. If you havenât listened to my podcast with Heather MacFadyen of Donât Mom Alone, itâs time! The show is called Sidetracked and we talk about family, faith, and basically anything else that comes to our minds in the moment (hence the name Sidetracked). I promise you will laugh!

"If politics is robbing you of peace, you might have misplaced your trust."
Mic drop please for the quote above from todayâs show.
Today the Pastor of my church Bent Tree Bible, Libin Abraham, joins us to dive into the tricky (but important) topic of Christians engaging in politics. We talk about how it's not just about showing upâit's about being prayerful, peaceful, prophetic, powerful, and purposeful. But the big reminder here? Our top loyalty is to Jesus, not any political party. Weâre here to make disciples, not stir up more division.
Aside from talking about Christians engaging in politics, Libin also encourages us to trust in Godâs faithfulness, and that stepping out in faith is key as we do thatâI love how Libin says that God moves at the pace of our next âyes.â So if youâre feeling pulled to act, trust that Godâs right there with you. And donât let politics, fear, or anything else get in the way of your gospel influence.
I canât wait for you to hear todayâs show and Iâd love for you to share it with friends.

Itâs starting to get embarrassing how much I gush each time I interview Pastor Max Lucado. But my goodness, after todayâs show I promise youâll understand why heâs often referred to as âAmericaâs Pastor.â He has the kindest, most relatable presence even when heâs tackling something as complex as the end times in his new book What Happens Next.
If you are like me and grew up a little bit nervous thinking about the end times and what it might look like when Jesus returns, please grab a latte and get ready for a new perspective. I think youâll feel differently after you hear us talk about whether this is the end times weâre living in, the biblical signs of the end times, how we should view the rapture, and even whether the antichrist is alive today. I mean, we cover it all people, and itâs enlightening and reassuring.
But I must say one of my favorite parts of our conversation is when I ask him to share how he tends to hear from God in his own life. Itâs a sweet story with a critical reminder that God is still moving, speaking, and working in our lives. And yes, the end times can be scary if we donât center it on Godâs word, but when we do we know how the story endsâand itâs a good one.
Canât wait for you to listen today! Be sure to share it with your friends please.
