In today’s episode, I sit down with my friend Julie—a woman who embodies courage, discipline, and what’s possible when you trust the process and refuse to quit.

Julie paid off her truck - 48 additional payments made in 6 months - faster than she ever imagined, walked away from teaching, and stepped into a lifestyle that gives her time, flexibility, and freedom. She's a busy, fit grandma and wife to an amazing supportive husband!

We talk about what it really looked like behind the scenes, the mindset shifts that changed everything, and how saying “yes” to an opportunity opened doors she didn’t even know existed. We also share stories from our incentive trips, the adventures we’ve had, and why we’re so passionate about partnering together for events across our state.

This episode is all about women supporting women, choosing growth over comfort, and creating a life that feels aligned. If you're craving inspiration, community, and a reminder that it’s never too late to build something new—this conversation is for you.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in the cycle of work, routines, appointments, responsibilities, repeat — this episode is your reminder that life can be different.

Joe and I just took our longest vacation ever… and it completely shifted how we see time, adventure, and what we actually want our life to look like! We never expected this feeling; we thought we'd be "ready to come home" like usual on vacation after a few days.

From seeing sloths up close (I wanted to snuggle them and bring them home 😂), to driving a golf cart straight onto the beach, to conversations with people that we’ll never forget… this trip showed us what slowing down really feels like.

And then we stepped into the incentive trip we earned — a luxury Secrets experience we never would’ve booked on our own but now get to enjoy every single year because we said YES to an opportunity to simply be cheerleaders for each other and our world.

If you’re craving more freedom, more fun, more memories, and a life that doesn’t leave you exhausted… this episode might spark something you didn’t know you needed! PS- thanks to my friend Vikki for the SWEETEST gift, these sunglasses!

In this episode, I’m sharing how goal setting for 2026 looks completely different for me — and how my favorite planner truly transformed the way I approach it.

I don’t set “goals” anymore. Instead, I set an intention and write a motivating letter to myself that keeps me focused on purpose instead of pressure. This mindset shift has helped me feel excited about what’s ahead rather than viewing it as another task to check off.

If you’re ready to start the new year with faith, clarity, and a renewed heart for what God has in store — this one’s for you.
