You Are Not What Happened to You — Here's What to Do With It | EP 318

From Bracing for the Worst to Expecting the Best | EP 316
I went from being a single mom who handled every single thing alone for years — to being a married woman with a man who genuinely wanted to show up for me.

Stop Being Flexible, You're Giving Yourself Away | EP 312
You love a good deal. We all do. But somewhere along the way you started negotiating the one thing that was never supposed to be on the table — your worth.It often does not feel like shrinking.

The Avoided Step Is Where It Pays Off | EP 311
You love a good plan. You want every step mapped out, color coded, and fully negotiated before you move. And that's exactly why God never gives you the full plan — because He already knows what you're going to do with it.

Why Wanting Got Expensive | EP 307
You did not lose your desire to want more by accident, friend. You shut her down — and maybe not even consciously. At some point, wanting started costing more than it returned.
