"Parenting" isn't a special talent that only a select few get, it's a skill that we must acquire and equip ourselves in. We need to sharpen ourselves against the "greats" that have come before us and the ones that are in the thick of it with us. We need to understand that we will never be "perfect parents" and that's ok!

This episode is meant to create a space amidst the ongoing noise of social media and comparison to give you the permission to check in with the Father's heart for your life; it's a reminder that the Father wants to have a say in what you're doing if you'll allow Him.

In this week’s episode I wanted to talk about something that many of us bustling “momprenuers” and influencers think about on the daily…growing our Instagram numbers. After taking a much needed hiatus from Instagram for about 3 months and watching my Instagram following plummet, I decided to make my entrance back onto the social media market that had stolen so much of my joy in the months prior.

I break down one of my most recent blog posts and put it into audio format. "Striving To Thrive" comes from a very deeply rooted place in my heart, where I've believed I need to "do, do, do" in order to receive or "be seen" as worthy and acceptable in the eyes of others AND the Father.

There is so much more than meets the eye and I wanted to "go there" with you all; To "pull the veil" off my perfectly curated Instagram life and start talking about what actually happens everyday. This refreshing and truthful episode is more about learning to love one another in all of our differences and less about how we can be the next "instagram sensation."

This is an insanely special episode for so many reasons but mainly because I get to talk more about my two favorite things 1. hearing God's voice and 2. Joanna Gaines. Ok, ok...all jokes aside.

In this very special episode, I invite my very first guest on the show to talk about the importance of using social media to empower women to walk about their calling.

In this episode we will dig deeper into the topic of what it means to be an internet influencer. We will peel back the many layers on our understanding of what an influencer is and what it means to influence. Are we influencing based on a desire to change the world? Or are we influencing based on a desire to be seen?

In this episode, we will continue to unpack this topic of why we feel the need to so easily count ourselves out from running the race that only we were created to run. We will look at the different reasons WHY things like social media have this ability to create comparison between those that are running their course and our own. And most importantly we will look at YOU and why YOU and only YOU were created uniquely, with a very special purpose and it is through you that God wants to do a great work. His desire for you to live your BEST life runs deeper than you can imagine, now let’s figure out together how we can partner with HIM to do just that.

In this episode we are unpacking this idea that we need to embellish on our God given identity to fit into this unforeseen mold that grants our life perfect or imperfect based upon what we do or don’t do. We will dive into the importance of community and connection in accordance to how God created us, as well as, our deep need for affirmation.
