Have you ever wondered if one random moment, one random conversation, could remind you that you’re not invisible and that your life is moving in the right direction? In this episode, I share what happened during a late-night Lyft ride that started with small talk and turned into an unforgettable connection - full of honesty, tears, hope, and a gentle push to take the next step. I’m not just telling an uplifting story; I’m asking what it would mean if you could see the small miracles in your own life. There’s a lesson waiting for you here, one you won’t want to miss.

Topics Discussed:

• The power and purpose of unexpected conversations
• What it means to truly be "open, ready, and available"
• How being present for others can bring clarity to your own journey
• The impact of encouragement from a stranger
• Listening, empathy, and offering support in everyday moments
• Recognizing God’s hand in ordinary experiences

Every interaction has the potential to be meaningful, even life-changing if we show up open and available. Today, ask yourself: When was the last time you noticed that you were actually seen?

This week's affirmation:

"God, I am open, ready and available for your hand on my life."

What if the breakthrough is just on the other side of your most difficult season? In this episode, I open up about my own journey through a “desert moment” - a period marked by obedience, disappointment, and more questions than answers. I share the eight things I wish I'd known or done differently when trusting God felt terrifying and my finances hit rock bottom. If you’ve ever wondered if surrender, honesty, or community still matter when uncertainty rules, this raw conversation is for you. Let me show you the real side of faith that few people talk about.

Topics I Cover:

• My personal “desert moment”—what it looked and felt like
• Why being honest (with yourself and others) is crucial in hard seasons
• Looking for God's hand in the middle of pain, confusion, or lack
• When fear (not God) drives your choices and the toll it takes
• The importance of wise counsel, mentorship, and healthy community
• How God provided in unexpected ways when work and effort failed
• The spiritual and mental strain of letting go of what people think

You don’t have to keep pretending you’re fine or carry this season alone. If you let go just a little and open up, community and God’s provision can carry you further than hustle or hiding ever could. The other side of obedience holds more than you’ve dared to imagine. If you’re in a desert season, don’t give up. You have no idea what’s waiting for you.

Have you ever walked into a room expecting one thing and walked out completely changed? I stepped inside a prison to speak to 200 men, something I had never done before. I came prepared to encourage them, but I didn’t expect what happened next. Their gratitude, their honesty, their faith, and their joy changed something in me. In this episode, I share the moments that stunned me, the conversations that stayed with me, and the unexpected way God used that room to minister to all of us. This story is raw, emotional, and full of reminders about identity, humility, and what it really means to see people.

Topics I Cover:

• What it felt like to be one of the first women to speak in this prison program
• Conversations that revealed the power of being truly seen
• The out-of-body moment I experienced on stage
• How God redirected the entire message and led the room
• Why some people are mentally “in prison,” even outside of physical walls
• What this experience taught me about calling, service, and compassion
• A scripture that perfectly captured the assignment (Matthew 25:34–40)

Serving in that room reminded me that people aren’t their mistakes, their past, or their circumstances. People are souls waiting to be seen. And when we choose to see people the way God sees them, miracles happen in places we least expect.

This week’s affirmations:

“I see people the way God wants me to see them.”

“I always serve and move in obedience.”
