332. The 3 Habits of High-Capacity Women — How to Flourish in Every Season
This week’s episode is all about high-capacity women — the ones who carry both the beauty and the burden of their lives with grace, who move through the world grounded, steady, and full of purpose.
If you’ve ever looked at another woman and thought, “How does she do it all?” — this episode is for you. Because being a high-capacity woman isn’t about doing more — it’s about becoming more.
It’s about expanding from the inside out, doing your inner work before your outer work, protecting your energy like it’s sacred, and taking aligned, powerful action from a place of peace, not pressure.
We’re sharing three simple but life-changing habits that every high-capacity woman practices — and how you’re already doing them, maybe more than you think. 💛
In this episode, you’ll hear: ✨ What it really means to be a high-capacity woman (it’s not about hustle) ✨ The importance of inner work before outer work — and how five quiet minutes a day can change everything ✨ How to protect your energy from leaks like overthinking, people-pleasing, and social media scrolls ✨ Why aligned, intentional action feels so much lighter and more powerful ✨ How to create a life that feels like overflow — not overwork
We also talk about embracing your season (whatever season you’re in!), following your desires, and the quiet power of women who do their inner work and show up from love instead of striving.
So grab your coffee, take a deep breath, and get ready to feel inspired, seen, and reminded that you are already more capable and powerful than you realize.

331. The Gap Between You and Who You Are Capable Of.
This week’s episode is a wake-up call for every woman who’s ever felt that tug — that restlessness that whispers, “There’s more for you.”
You’ve done the work. You’ve walked through healing, growth, and transformation. You’ve read the books, listened to the podcasts, and prayed the prayers. And now? It’s time to give it away.
In today’s episode, I’m sharing from my heart about what it means to move from transformation to multiplication — from healing to helping, from consuming to creating, from waiting to walking.
Because you weren’t created to be a reservoir. You were created to be a river. 💧
You’ll hear me talk about: ✨ The difference between searching and stewarding your calling ✨ How your transformation becomes someone else’s survival guide ✨ Why you’ll never think your way into courage — you have to act your way there ✨ The truth about confidence (it’s not what you think!) ✨ What it looks like to partner with God in your purpose ✨ How to step into the calling that’s already waiting for your yes
And friend, if you’ve been waiting for a sign, this is it. The world doesn’t need more noise — it needs your voice, your story, your heart.
This is your kairos moment — a divine invitation to rise, lead, and pour out from the overflow of all God has done in you.

330. The Paradox of Peace: The Healing Power of Serving Others!
This week’s episode is all about one of the most surprising (and healing) truths I’ve ever learned: you transform your own life by focusing on others.
It sounds simple, but it’s deeply powerful — because so much of our anxiety, overthinking, and exhaustion comes from being overly focused on ourselves. When we turn our attention outward — to loving, serving, and honoring others — something shifts inside of us. Our peace returns. Our joy multiplies. And we start to live in alignment with how God actually designed us to live.
In this episode, Emmy and I dive into: Why self-focus often breeds anxiety and disconnection How loving and serving others creates healing in your own heart and mind The difference between healthy service and codependency What it means to “outdo one another in showing honor” (Romans 12:10) — and how to make it a daily practice 💌 How focusing on others brings us back to what truly matters: people, presence, and purpose
We also talk about my favorite old teaching — the doctrine of vocation — and how every role we hold (mother, friend, co-worker, neighbor) is an invitation to serve the people right in front of us with love and excellence.
Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, inwardly focused, or just ready to reconnect with your purpose, this episode will remind you that you don’t have to wait until you “fix yourself” to live a meaningful life. You just have to start giving what you already have.

329. 3 ways to regulate your nervous system when life feels messy!
As I’m recording this, we are just ten days away from Emmy’s wedding (cue all the happy tears and chaos 😅). And let’s just say… my nervous system has had a lot of practice lately staying grounded and peaceful! Between my acid peel (what was I thinking?), a full closet overhaul, rewriting our business guidebook, and even starting English horseback riding lessons — it’s been a wild couple of weeks.
But here’s what I’ve noticed: many of these things have actually been helping me regulate. They’re creative, grounding, and keep me present — and that’s what we’re talking about today: how to calm your nervous system and come back to peace, no matter what’s happening around you.
In this episode, we’ll chat about: ✨ The difference between your parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems — and why it matters ✨ How your body doesn’t know the difference between being chased by a bear and getting a snarky comment from your teenager ✨ Why it’s not about never getting stressed, but learning how to come back to calm ✨ My three favorite ways to bring yourself back to peace when life feels like a lot
Here’s the thing: your nervous system needs to know you’re safe — that all is well. And when you can create that internal sense of safety, even when things feel busy or uncertain, everything changes.
So take a deep breath, dear ones. You are safe, you are loved, and all is well. 💛
