Real Talk. Raw Truth. Faith-Fueled Confidence. What Is This Costing You? Read on my website Every year around my birthday, I start collecting my thoughts. I don't always sit down and write them right away, but I start gathering them in my head, what I'm feeling, what I've learned, what I'm ready to release, and more than anything, what I actually want to carry into the next year of my life. This year felt different. I had all these thoughts floating around, and then something happened, and it...

Real Talk. Raw Truth. Faith-Fueled Confidence. You Haven't Failed. You've Changed. Read on my website A few years ago, I wrote a book about letting go of who I thought I was supposed to be. Chasing Perfection was my way of working through the version of myself I'd been performing for years: the pressure, the proving, the constant feeling that I needed to be more than I already was. Writing it changed something in me. I thought I'd figured out the hard part. And then life kept going. I find...

Real Talk. Raw Truth. Faith-Fueled Confidence. The Real Cost Of Staying The Same Read on my website There's a version of cleaning house that has nothing to do with housekeeping or cleaning out your closet. It's what you do when life has rearranged itself, and you start looking at everything that's been taking up your headspace, your clutter, your energy, and realize you no longer have the capacity because both your internal and external environments are full. You've been carrying more than...

Real Talk. Raw Truth. Faith-Fueled Confidence. What if You’re Withholding What You Keep Asking For? Read on my website You know how sometimes an idea just keeps showing up? You hear something, then you read something, and then it finds you in the middle of a completely ordinary moment when your mind finally gets quiet enough to actually listen. That's how this one came to me, and once it landed, I couldn't let it go. The question that kept returning: what if the very thing you've been asking...

Real Talk. Raw Truth. Faith-Fueled Confidence. Survival Is Not The Same As Freedom Read on my website There's a version of me I've learned to access quickly, almost like an autoresponder. No matter what's happening, she'll always show up. She knows how to survive. She pushes through, performs, produces, keeps the business moving, keeps showing up, and makes everything look more together than it actually feels on the inside. When life is falling apart, she's the stabilizer. Any time I felt...

Real Talk. Raw Truth. Faith-Fueled Confidence. When You’re Tired of Carrying It All Read on my website I have a name for the version of myself who shows up when I’ve been running on empty for too long. I call her Over Girl. She’s the part of me who’s overworked, overstressed, overwhelmed, over-responsible, and honestly, just over it. She shows up when the routines that used to ground me start feeling like another thing to manage, when the smallest interruption feels heavier than it should,...

Real Talk. Raw Truth. Faith-Fueled Confidence. When The Work Stops Feeling Like Yours Read on my website I was at the dinner table scrolling through comments on a post I'd written, and a woman I'd been in community with left three words on it. "Oh, that's deep." I started welling up with tears and couldn't figure out why. The more I sat with it, the clearer it became. I took an innocent comment and internalized it as something it was probably never meant to be: I'm too much. They missed what...

Real Talk. Raw Truth. Faith-Fueled Confidence. Seven Years Later: What God Built With a Yes Read on my website This week, The Confident Woman Podcast turns seven, and I’ve been sitting with what that actually means. Seven years, three hundred and seventy-five episodes, a top 2% global ranking, and more conversations than I could have ever imagined when this was still just an idea, a prayer, and something I couldn’t stop turning over in my mind. I can say those numbers out loud now, and while...

Real Talk. Raw Truth. Faith-Fueled Confidence. You Were Made for More Than This Read on my website I want you to think about something for a minute. If someone asked you right now to describe who you are, what would you say first? If the answer is your job title, your role, what you do, or what you've built — this letter is for you. I sat down with Mitch Matthews this week, a success coach and creator of the top 0.5% globally ranked DREAM THINK DO podcast, who spends his days helping...
