As we step into a new year, the pressure to plan, hustle, and reinvent ourselves can feel overwhelming. In today’s episode of What’s the Word?, we begin differently—with a pause.

Drawing from Proverbs 16:9, “In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps,” this reflection invites you to release urgency and return to alignment—with God, your body, and the life you’re building.

In this 10-minute solo episode, I walk through the WAVE System—a faith-led framework we’ve been practicing inside our women’s group—to help you check in before you push forward:

• Well-being
• Awareness
• Vision
• Energy
• This episode is for the woman who is tired of rushing, ready to listen more deeply, and open to becoming—not striving—this year.
  Scripture Referenced:
  📖 Proverbs 16:9 (NIV) — “In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.”
  Reflection Questions from the Episode:
  • How is my body actually doing right now?
  • What patterns followed me into this new year?
  • If I trusted God more deeply, what would I release?
  • What restores my energy—and what drains it?
• Closing Invitation:
  What would it look like to move through this year more rooted than rushed?
  🎧 Listen in, breathe deep, and begin again—gently.

You’ll be encouraged to quiet the noise, listen for the whispers in your soul, and take daily inspired action—one step at a time.

Let’s step into the season with faith, strength, and focus—together.

In today’s episode, we’re diving into the word Gratitude — not in a “pretend everything is perfect” way, but in a real-life, messy, mom-in-the-middle-of-chaos way.

This is an honest conversation about finding tiny moments of peace, presence, and God’s goodness even when:

• the house is loud
• the schedule is full
• your mind is overwhelmed
• the unexpected keeps happening
• you feel stretched thin

Gratitude is not about ignoring the hard.
It’s about discovering the anchors that keep you steady through it.

We’ll talk about how gratitude becomes a spiritual practice, a nervous system tool, and a mindset shift that pulls you back into alignment, peace, and God’s heart for you.

Perfect for moms who are craving grounding, clarity, and “Hawai‘i vibes” in the middle of real life.

In this special birthday and rebirth episode, J reflects on faith, transformation, and the power of gratitude. Discover how God renews our minds and hearts through every season of life. From walking away from worldly success to embracing spiritual alignment, this episode explores what it means to live with purpose, grace, and trust in God’s plan.

In this soul-nourishing episode of Prayer & Practice, we dive into what it really means to build a life of spiritual discipline — one step, one prayer, one breath at a time. Inspired by Romans 12:12 — “Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer”, we’ll explore how to make prayer a daily rhythm instead of just a reaction to crisis.

You’ll hear honest reflections about the not-so-pretty parts of prayer, how to stay grounded when faith feels dry, and why discipline is actually a form of devotion. Plus, take a few quiet moments for walking meditation and breath prayer: “Make me faithful in the quiet, Lord.”

Whether you’re walking, journaling, or sipping your morning tea, this episode will help you reconnect with hope, patience, and presence in your everyday life.

✨ Listen now and let’s build sacred rhythm together.

In this 10-minute walk episode of What’s the Word, we explore three powerful pillars of self-care, movement, nourishment, and rest: through the lens of scripture.

Rooted in 1 Corinthians 6:19–20, this episode is your reminder that your body is a temple, not a project. You’ll learn how to reconnect with your physical body in a way that honors your soul and deepens your relationship with God.

Whether you’re on a walk, taking a moment to pause, or just needing a midweek reset: press play, breathe deep, and return to what matters.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why movement is a form of worship, not punishment
• What it really means to nourish your body and spirit
• Why rest is not lazy — it's holy
• How to apply these truths in simple daily rhythms

✨ Move – Steward your strength
✨ Nourish – Fuel your body & spirit with intention
✨ Rest – Trust God enough to slow down

In this episode of What’s the Word, we’re taking a walk — literally and spiritually — to reflect on the power of community and connection.

You’ll be invited into a walking meditation to consider:
💭 Who are you carrying?
💭 Who’s been carrying you?

We’ll read Galatians 6:2, explore the pitfalls of hyper-independence, and remind ourselves of a simple but powerful truth: "Letting someone help doesn’t make you weak. It makes you wise."

Whether you’ve been feeling isolated, burnt out, or just craving deeper connection, this episode is your gentle nudge back to real community — the kind God intended.

📿 Includes a walking prompt + meditation to carry with you throughout your day.
