  • Healing Relationships Through Faith and Forgiveness: A Personal Journey
    2025/10/10

    In this heartfelt episode of Made for Impact, I open up about one of the most transformative chapters of my journey—healing my relationship with my mother and deepening my faith through the teachings of the Bible.

    For years, I searched for peace and wholeness through new-age healing practices, crystals, and energy work. While those tools brought moments of relief, I found true, lasting transformation when I turned to God’s Word. Through Scripture, I began to see myself—and my loved ones—with new eyes, filled with compassion, patience, and grace.

    As a daughter, a mother, and a believer still growing in faith, I share how the Bible has become my daily anchor. Whether it’s in moments of frustration with my little girl or in conversations that once felt heavy with my mom, God’s Word has softened my heart and reminded me what love truly looks like.

    If you’ve ever wrestled with family wounds, questioned your faith, or sought peace through healing practices that left you still longing for more—this episode will meet you where you are. It’s an invitation to rediscover relationship healing, personal growth, and holistic parenting through the gentle yet powerful guidance of God’s truth.

    💡 Key Takeaways

    • True healing begins when we invite God into our relationships.

    • Daily Bible teachings can transform how we love, parent, and forgive.

    • Resistance often precedes revelation—trust the process.

    • Holistic growth includes emotional, spiritual, and relational healing.

    • Faith isn’t about perfection; it’s about allowing grace to lead.

    🙏 Action Steps

    • Dedicate 10 minutes each day this week to reading Scripture about love and forgiveness.

    • Write a letter (you don’t have to send it) to someone you’re ready to forgive.

    • Reflect on where God is inviting you to replace control with compassion.

    • Practice one act of kindness toward a family member who challenges you.

    • Pray for patience and peace in your parenting or family relationships.

  • Embrace Faith Over Comfort: Discover Your True Calling
    2025/10/07

    In this powerful episode, I open my heart about what it truly means to step out of your comfort zone and trust God’s calling on your life.

    It all started with a moment at the gym—one that reminded me how easily we can get attached to comfort, even when our soul is craving growth. Just like a baby eagle learning to fly, we are sometimes pushed by God into discomfort so we can discover the strength and purpose He’s placed within us.

    I share how following Jesus doesn’t necessarily make life easier—but it makes it richer, fuller, and more meaningful. When you say “yes” to God’s plan, you might face challenges, resistance, or even fear—but through it all, He’s shaping you for something greater.

    This episode is for the woman who’s been praying for clarity, who’s afraid to take the next step, or who’s tired of waiting for a detailed roadmap. I want to remind you: you don’t need to see the full plan to trust the path. Faith grows in the spaces where certainty ends.

    💡 Key Takeaways

    • Growth begins where comfort ends.

    • Following Jesus brings meaning, not ease—and that’s a beautiful thing.

    • Discomfort is divine preparation for purpose.

    • Like the Israelites leaving Egypt, God calls us to trust even without knowing what’s next.

    • Faith isn’t built through clarity—it’s built through surrender.

    🙏 Action Steps

    • Identify one area of your life where you’ve been holding on to comfort. Ask God to help you release it.

    • Write down a recent moment when discomfort led to unexpected growth.

    • Reflect on a Bible story where faith triumphed over fear—what can you learn from it?

    • Take one brave step this week toward the thing God’s been calling you to do.

    • Pray daily for the courage to trust without seeing the full plan.

  • Creating Holy Moments: The Power of Paying It Forward
    2025/10/01

    In this new episode, I share a story that reminded me of the enormous impact small acts of kindness can have on our lives—and the lives of others.

    Inspired by the book Holy Moments, I open up about a simple trip to Whole Foods with my family that turned into something much greater: an opportunity to practice generosity and witness the ripple effects of kindness. What began as a small decision to help created a holy moment—one filled with gratitude, reflection, and deeper faith.

    I’ll be honest—at first, I wrestled with doubt. Was I really helping the right person? Was it enough? But God showed me that the true power of generosity isn’t in analyzing outcomes—it’s in trusting that every act of love has meaning.

    This episode is your reminder that every interaction, no matter how ordinary, carries the potential to become a holy moment. When we choose to give, to trust, and to love, we align with God’s heart and create ripples that go far beyond what we can see.

    💡 Key Takeaways

    • Small acts of kindness can create powerful ripple effects.

    • Generosity is not about perfection, but about presence and intention.

    • Doubt is natural, but faith affirms the impact of your actions.

    • Every moment has the potential to become a “holy moment.”

    • Choosing to give and love connects us more deeply with God and others.

    🙏 Action Steps

    • Look for one opportunity this week to create a “holy moment” through kindness.

    • Reflect in your journal on how generosity has shaped your own life.

    • Next time you doubt the impact of your actions, pause and pray for reassurance.

    • Share your story of kindness with a loved one to inspire their faith journey.

    • Ask God daily to open your eyes to opportunities for small, sacred acts of love.

    2025/09/23

    In this episode of Made for Impact, I open up about one of the most overlooked yet powerful parts of our relationship with God: listening.

    So often, we pour our hearts out in prayer—asking, thanking, pleading—but forget that communication with God is a two-way street. When we don’t pause to create space for His voice, we risk missing the very answers and guidance we’ve been longing for.

    Through simple stories from my own life, I share how moments of silence, stillness, and openness can transform the way we hear from God. This is not about striving or doing more, but about trusting, waiting, and allowing divine wisdom to unfold in its perfect timing.

    If you’ve ever felt like your prayers were bouncing back unanswered or you’ve struggled with doubt in waiting seasons, this episode will remind you that God is always speaking—you just need to make space to hear Him.

    💡 Key Takeaways

    • Silence and stillness create space for divine answers.

    • Patience and trust are essential when waiting on God’s timing.

    • Everyday moments can become powerful spaces of spiritual connection.

    • Listening deepens faith, awareness, and intimacy with God.

    • Schedule 5 minutes of silence each day this week to simply listen for God’s voice.

    • Journal any impressions, scriptures, or feelings that arise in that quiet space.

    • Practice patience by releasing one prayer request into God’s hands without trying to control the outcome.
