From a graveyard to the Kelly Clarkson show, this conversation with my beautiful friend Melissa Hughes with have you laughing and crying and thinking about where you are in life right now. A season of loss and pain, while trusting God, leads her to recording videos on her phone during her lunch break working at a daycare that went viral with 22 millions views and landed her on the Kelly Clarkson show.

It completely relates to midlife and transition periods in life.

You need to meet her and she has a brand new book launching as well called Expansion Syndrome.

Do you dread Mondays? Is the weekend not long enough?

You were MADE for Mondays.

You were created on purpose for this moment. Mondays aren't a curse — they’re a fresh start. A new beginning.
Every Monday is a God-given opportunity to step into the calling He has placed on your life — whether that’s leading your family, serving at work, encouraging a friend, or simply showing up with joy in a world that desperately needs hope.

Psalm 118:24 says,
"This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it."

Notice it doesn’t say, "This is the weekend the Lord has made." hahhaa right!!
It says this day. Right here. Right now. Monday included!

Are you struggling with Perfectionism?

Maybe? Maybe not! Its all mindset!

In this episode, I share truths about how easy it is to fall into striving for a perfect life but how we should not want that. There is so much freedom and peace that comes with trusting God, relaxing and enjoying life. We need to quit demanding perfection from ourselves and from others and just enjoy people as they are.

Lost car keys this week helped remind me to invite God into everything and to have JOY in all things.

I would love to hear from you and what this brought up for you--Progress OVER perfection any day!

You've heard this before, right? But what do you really feel and what comes up for you about this verse. 1 Corinthians 6: 19-20.

It took me many years to know and understand what I wish I had known in younger days.

It is the absolute basis to the foundation of our health, mentally, physically and spiritually.

Listen in today and I would love to hear what comes up for you!
