Have you ever looked back on the year and found yourself focusing on everything you didn't do? The goals you didn't reach, the habits you didn't build, or the ways you feel like you should be further along by now?

As we enter the final quarter of the year, it's easy to beat ourselves up, allow disappointment to turn into shame, and begin pulling away from the very people who could help us grow.

But sis, what if instead of waiting until you have it all together, you started taking messy action?

In this episode of The Journey to Becoming, we're talking about what it looks like to take imperfect action, rebuild trust with yourself, and walk in obedience to God, even when you don't feel ready or have everything figured out.

You'll be encouraged to stop allowing perfectionism, fear, and disappointment to keep you stuck and to recognize why surrounding yourself with friends, coaches, mentors, and a community that speaks truth into your life is so important. Isolation doesn't move us forward; sometimes, we need others to remind us of who God says we are when we've forgotten it ourselves.

Most importantly, we'll talk about taking messy action in your relationship with Jesus. He doesn't tell us to get perfect before we come to Him. In Matthew 11:28, Jesus invites the weary and burdened to come to Him and find rest.

You don't have to get yourself together before you come to the feet of Jesus. Come as you are and let Him meet you there.

In this episode, we'll explore:

• How taking small, imperfect steps helps rebuild self-trust.
• Why beating yourself up over what you haven't accomplished keeps you stuck.
• How isolation can hold you back from the encouragement and accountability you need.
• Why having friends, coaches, and mentors who speak truth into your life matters.
• What it looks like to take messy action in obedience to God without needing every detail figured out.
• How to stop waiting for a new year, a fresh start, or the perfect circumstances and take your next right step today.

Sis, you are not behind. You are becoming. And you don't have to do it alone.

Your challenge: What's one area of your life where you can take messy action in the next 24 hours? Don't overthink it. Take the next right step, invite someone you trust to walk alongside you, and bring it all to Jesus.

Remember, you don't have to be perfect to begin. You just have to be willing to show up.

Do you ever find yourself losing your temper with your kids, feeling overwhelmed by mom rage, and drowning in shame afterward? If you're a Christian mom who loves Jesus but struggles with anger, frustration, and the guilt that follows, this episode is for you.

In this episode of The Journey to Becoming, I'm joined by Natalie Hixon, known as the Angry Mama Coach, who helps discouraged and burnt-out Christian moms overcome destructive anger so they can enjoy being a wife and mom again.

Together, we're having an honest conversation about what it looks like to stop living in shame, take responsibility for our reactions, and embrace the powerful perspective shift: “I can change.”

Natalie shares how learning to recognize her triggers, take ownership of her responses, and practice the simple but transformative habit of sitting and praying has changed her life—and how she's helping other moms experience that same transformation.

Because being a woman of God doesn't mean you never struggle with anger. It means you can invite God into the struggle, take responsibility for your growth, and learn a new way forward.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Overcoming mom rage and destructive anger as a Christian mom
• Breaking free from the shame cycle after losing your temper with your kids
• Taking responsibility for your reactions without getting stuck in condemnation
• How learning to sit and pray can transform the way you respond to your children
• Letting God meet you in the hard moments of motherhood
• Moving from discouraged and burnt-out to experiencing more peace, connection, and joy in your role as a wife and mom

Mama, you are not stuck being the version of yourself you see in your hardest moments. You can grow. You can change. And you can learn to respond differently.

This is your reminder that shame doesn't have to define your motherhood story. There is a way forward, and you don't have to figure it out alone.

What if the anxiety, stress, or patterns you're struggling with today have deeper roots than you realize?

In this episode of The Journey to Becoming, I’m joined by Julie Rebboah, MS — Christian Nervous System Coach, creator of Biblical Breathwork™, author of the upcoming book Lay Worry Down, and affectionately known as the “Peace Navigator.”

Julie and I talk about anxiety, stress, childhood trauma, and what it looks like to get to the root of what we're carrying and move toward healing WITH Jesus.

We dive into:

✨ How childhood trauma can impact anxiety and stress today ✨ Why we need to look beneath the surface of our patterns ✨ Practical ways to regulate stress and move toward greater peace ✨ The difference between emptying our minds and filling our minds with God's truth ✨ How Scripture and practical tools can work together as we pursue healing

The world may tell us to empty our minds, but as believers, we're called to renew our minds and fill them with what is true about God and who He says we are.

You don't have to stay stuck in old patterns or carry anxiety alone. There is a path toward greater peace, freedom, and restoration — and Jesus belongs at the center of it.

🎧 If you've ever wondered, “Why do I keep responding this way?” or “How do I get to the root of this?” — this conversation is for you.
