In this episode of Seen & Known, I'm joined by Darian Posey, founder of Type A to Type Pray, to talk about what happens when capable, faith-filled women realize that striving is no longer sustainable. Darian shares her journey from control and burnout to surrender and peace, and how God met her in the tension between ambition and alignment.

Together, we unpack what biblical surrender really looks like in marriage, how to pursue purpose without hustle culture, and why peace is found in progress—not perfection.

If you've been carrying everything and quietly wondering why you still feel exhausted, this conversation will feel like a deep exhale. Darian reminds us that we don't have to hustle to be whole or strive to be seen.

There is another way—one rooted in prayer, healing, and steady growth.

In this tender episode of Seen & Known, Leona sits down with writer and fellow Propel alum Carmen Meurer to talk about the quiet grief of parental estrangement—the ache of the empty chair at the table. Carmen shares what led her to begin writing for estranged parents and how this often-unspoken loss carries layers of heartbreak, silence, faith wrestling, and enduring hope.

Together, they explore what it means to grieve a relationship that is still living, how faith is stretched when prayers feel unanswered, and the power of friendship in seasons that feel isolating. If you are a parent carrying an unseen ache—or love someone who is—this conversation offers gentle companionship and a reminder that God sees the empty chair and sits with you in the waiting.

In this episode of Seen & Known, Leona sits down with Christana "CJ" Newkirk—cofounder of Nevertheless Ministries and a fellow Propel alum—for an honest, hope-filled conversation about identity, singleness, Scripture, and the God who sees. CJ shares pieces of her story, including growing up in a turbulent Christian home, and discovering that God's love is not just something to know about, but someone to truly know.

Together, they explore why so many women feel intimidated by the Bible, how studying Scripture in context can deepen faith, and why singleness is not a waiting room for marriage but a meaningful, God-honoring calling.

This episode is for the woman who feels unseen, overlooked, or spiritually weary—and needs the reminder that God sees her fully, knows her deeply, and still calls her beloved.
