What if Christmas shopping didn’t have to end in stress, frustration, or arguments in the middle of a crowded store?

After years of last-minute shopping, overpacked weekends, and unnecessary tension (yes—those store arguments 😅), Joe and I finally decided something had to change.

In this episode, we share why we made a new rule around Christmas shopping, how we landed on it after one too many frustrating experiences, and exactly how we now get all our shopping done—early, efficiently, and without the emotional drain.

This isn’t about being perfect or over-planned.

It’s about protecting your time, your marriage, and the joy of the season.

If you want:

✨ Less stress during the holidays

✨ Fewer arguments in the stores

✨ More margin to actually enjoy Christmas

…this episode will give you a simple shift you can implement immediately.

Press play and thank yourself later 🎁🤍

In this episode, I share a wake-up moment from our team gratitude call in December of 2025 that reminded me I needed to practice what I preach and share my story louder!

I dive into my journey: struggling to do it all on my own, wanting success more for others than for myself, and feeling the frustration when my income dipped but my hustle didn’t. Watching others pause, embrace their humanity, and share what they love inspired me to make a change.

Through leaning into prayer — yes, the cupboard prayer — and letting go, I experienced a breakthrough: hitting a leadership level that seemed impossible while actually resting on the weekends! This wasn’t luck — it was the power of consistent faith and letting third-party credibility help paint the vision.

Now, I’m on a mission to help others see that consistency, faith, and sharing their story can transform both their business and their life — all while keeping God at the center.

Tune in for encouragement, practical insight, and a reminder that rest + faith can truly move the needle.

And, after today's homework, you'll need extra encouragement from Episode 43. Don't forget to go back and listen!

Have you ever felt the heavy weight of perfectionism—the endless striving, the fear of failure, and the shame that lingers when you fall short? In this conversation with my girl Lenee, we dive deep into God’s heart for us and how His grace frees us from performance-based living. Together, we share stories of how perfectionism crept into our faith, families, and businesses—and the powerful truth that God never asked us to carry that burden. If you’ve ever struggled to “do it all” or to feel “good enough,” this episode will remind you of the freedom found in Christ and His unconditional love.

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.

In this conversation with Whitney, we dive into the raw and real emotions behind her story “Call Me Mara.” Inspired by Naomi’s journey in the book of Ruth, we talk about what it feels like when life leaves you bitter, empty, or questioning God’s timing. Whitney shares her own experiences of walking through seasons of loss, waiting, and surrender — and how the Lord met her in the middle of it all.

If you’ve ever felt like your story has been marked by disappointment or wondered if God could really redeem the pain you’re facing, this episode will remind you that He is always writing something greater.

✨ Related Episode: If this conversation spoke to your heart, be sure to listen to my interview with Amy on Episode 33, where we talk about growing our families and trusting God’s timing when the journey doesn’t look like we imagined. It’s another powerful reminder that His plans are always for our good, even in the waiting.

It’s October when I'm recording this episode; welcome to my birthday blessing special! 🎉

I’m celebrating by sharing my top grocery tips — the same ones that completely changed how I shop, eat, and feel. In this episode, I’m spilling my favorite secrets, like how to tell if something deserves a spot in your cart, which sneaky ingredients to avoid, and how to know if you might have the MTHFR gene. We’ll also chat about the pairing rule — the only reason carbs can become dangerous (and how to fix that fast!) — plus what foods I never travel without. (Psst.. go back to episodes 3, 4, and 10 for more nutrition tips!)

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed in the grocery store or wished someone would just tell you what’s worth buying and why, this one’s for you. And if you’re ready for a deeper, DNA-based approach to nutrition that’s completely customized to you, I’ll share how to join us inside the program we love. Keep reading.. 💛
