Ep 60 | How To Rise After the Loss of a Spouse
It’s a sobering thought that death is one of the few certainties of life, and most of us have or will have to experience losing someone close to us.

Our real and raw feelings aren’t a sign of slow or stagnant healing, but a sign that we cherished someone so dearly and miss them being present in our li
Ep 59 | The Blueprint to Growing Your Finances
There can be a lot of confusion around how we expand our finances and take the first step towards passive income. Some of us might even feel concerned with moral and ethical questions focusing on if biblical values can overlap with an abundant bank account. With the cost of living increasing, we can use wisdom and take practical steps to ensure a good quality of life despite the state of strugglin
Ep 58 | Why Following Jesus Doesn’t Have to Be Boring: A Case For Creativity
There can be tension in feeling like we don’t fit in perfectly in different parts of our lives, whether that be at work, at social events or even at Church.

Ep 53 | Love Signs Revealed: How I knew he was the one

Ep 52 | New Age to Christianity: How I Found Jesus in Adulthood
Many of us are inquisitive women who are seeking to find peace and purpose in the world around us. For some of us this has led us down a path of exploring different faiths, philosophies and practises.

Ep 51 | Why Money Talks Are Essential in a Successful Marriage
A lot of emphasis is placed on the topics of money and marriage, but when we combine the two we are able to magnify many existing issues, and expose how deep our core values really go.

So much anxiety and fear comes fro
Ep 50 | Relationship Dynamics Matter: Why Strong Women Need to Be with Secure Men
There’s so many angles to why some women are labeled as strong. It can be used as a compliment that aims to empower us, and other times it’s a dig to reduce our femininity. We can often wonder how our perception from others and ourselves impacts our professional and romantic lives, particularly when it has been suggested that men can feel less important or intimidated by self-assured and self-suff
Ep 49 | Escaping the Rat Race
It’s not rare to feel like we were born with an innate passion or drive. In fact, many of us have spent most of our lives trying to navigate where we should channel this energy.

Dabbling in extremes of laziness or overworking are both harmful, but we wanted to talk about the imp
Ep 48 | Embracing Change: Leaving a Job That Limits My Potential
Most of us will spend a large majority of our time working, so it’s important that we make wise decisions regarding the environment we’re in.

While it’s normal to consider other pathways, we also know that encountering challenges doe
Ep 47 | The Benefits of Being a Strong Woman in a Relationship
There’s a thousand opinions on what Biblical relationships should look like, and we wanted to look at what a strong and thriving marriage consists of when the woman is the higher earner. How can we turn some traditions and gender expectations on its head while still placing mutual respect, trust and a focus on God’s plans for our lives at the core? Oftentimes the focus on strong women is related t
Ep 46 | You don't have to live paycheck to paycheck
Life can seem uninspiring and start to feel monotonous when we’re chasing our tails by living paycheck to paycheck. Once we get to a point where we feel like we’re surviving rather than thriving, it’s likely that it’s time to start reassessing our career options, without limiting ourselves to the 9-5 box. We all have talents and areas of expertise that can be built on to expand our earnings, while
Ep 45 | How To Know When It's Time for a Career Change

We want to remind ourselves th
Ep 43 | I Didn’t Choose a Child-free Life
Being a parent is something that many of us consider a milestone moment that we are, or were excited about. Embracing our nurturing nature can feel like it’s best geared towards being a mother, but not all of us will experience the reality of becoming a biological mother. When we encompass love, care and support for others around us we exercise our maternal instincts beyond biological bonds. Let’s
Ep 42 | Breaking the Burnout Cycle
Wanting to pursue our passions and reach our full potential isn’t an inherently bad mindset to have, but it can turn toxic when it becomes all consuming. Burnout is something that can feel inevitable but if we work on learning what leads up to these moments of exhaustion, overworking and zoning out, we can take more of a proactive approach to set boundaries, and become aware of the keys to restora
Ep 41 | Limitless Women Defy Labels
We are constantly being bombarded with ideals and suggestions of how we as women should live and act. This seeps into all areas of people's lives relating to work, family and wider society.

Ep 40 | Leaving Islam, Finding Jesus
Exploring and searching for truth and meaning in a world that is constantly embracing different beliefs and spirituality can be tricky. It can feel misguided or taboo when we’ve grown up in a religion or culture that doesn’t encourage curiosity. For many of us, our defining beliefs aren’t just a philosophy or guide to how we live, but a massive part of our identity. We can be shamed for rejecting
Ep 39 | Keeping Up Appearances
We all want to put our best foot forward and have the image of being put together and being in our element in our professional and personal lives, but we can often fall into the trap of comparison. We can default to putting on the strong woman persona, because somewhere along the way we have made vulnerability and needing help to be synonymous with weakness. We wanted to discuss where these ideas
Ep 38 | Renewing Our Relationship Perspective
The experiences and relationships we observe and encounter from childhood and adolescence have the ability to impact how we view future relationships. We can easily solidify our view of marriage, friendship and community based on a negative projection of our earliest representations.

Ep 36 | Why Do Ambitious Women Get a Bad Rep?
Being career driven has its perks and building on our gifts and expertise is something to be proud of. However, a good thing like ambition can turn toxic if we end up neglecting our other responsibilities, or becoming too consumed in our work that it ends up compromising our values. It can be difficult to know what sort of women we want to be, and what roles we want to take on, specifically when w

Society can be quick to villainize people with addictions, wit
Ep 33 | Where Are We Going Wrong with Modern Marriage?
It’s easy to have a negative and short-lived view of marriage when we reflect on the statistics of around half of marriages failing in modern society.

Ep 32 | Change Your Mindset and You Can Achieve Anything
With our generation's digital obsession with being glued to LinkedIn and getting notifications every time someone gets promoted or levels up in life, it can be hard to stay in our lane and focus on our own callings, passions and professions.

Ep 30: Sticking to Our Values at Work: Navigating the Dark Side of Our Industries & When to Speak Up

Ep 29: Balancing Ambition with Being Enough as We Are: Redefining Success & Self-Pursuit
Many of us believe success is directly related to monetary numbers and status.

Ep 23: ‘Having Wealth & Being Rich Are Two Different Things’: Building a Legacy Through Property
