Faithlessly discarding every circumstance that is less than what we expected or desired means we’re only faithfully following our own will instead of His. We’re claiming our own sovereignty over our story.  What if instead of asking God to change the circumstance around me, I lean into asking God to change me?

What does it look like to be faithful with what's in your hands? How do you continually put your best effort forward and trust God to fill the many gaps you leave behind? There will be seasons you feel an urge to try something new, to do something that makes you a little uncomfortable and a whole lot nervous. This conversation with my new friend, Hannah Weidmann, is rooted in living in the tension of "I really don't want to do this" and "I know I'm supposed to do this". She's the founder of Everyday Heirloom, a jewelry business about a whole lot more than jewelry. She shares about stumbling into…

While none of us are experts, and honestly probably never will be because I still fly into a semi-rage every week when my husband and I play trashcan Jenga until one of us breaks down and takes the trash out - there is so much I wish I would've learned sooner about how to navigate relationships. Within this episode alone, there are so many small nuggets of wisdom to take into singleness, dating, engagement and those first few years of marriage. Here's my conversation with my friends, Sam and Katelyn, Relationships: What We Learned The Hard Way.

The stress related to pressures can, over time, lead to physical manifestations and slowly start to impact mental and emotional stability. In the end, if left unaddressed, it can lead to a breaking point many refer to as burn out. Suddenly, you struggle to find joy in what once brought you so much joy.  Many of us don't take the time to create, implement and sustain healthy practices for navigating inevitable pressure. Growth has a tendency of happening under pressure. Not always, but pretty often.  I invited an old personal and No One Told Me friend, Kaley, into this conversation because not only has she seen me at my most…

There's always this temptation to leave, isn't there? In relationships, plans, jobs - prolonged discomfort makes us feel cornered into only one option: escape.  Today's guest, Natalie Runion, moved across states to walk into a dream position, but quickly found she had to navigate something less than dream-like. That moment led to the launch of a counter-cultural sentiment: Raised to Stay. Instead of validating every single reason to go, she pressed in to learn what it means to stay.

An opportunity may be good, but that doesn't mean it's right. As we get older, more doors swing open. New relationships, job opportunities, big moves - pivotal points hinge on our ability to discern direction. And, I'll be honest, sometimes my compass is off. In this episode, I'll share the moments I had to change direction after not-great decisions and the questions I now ask myself before walking through any open door.
