A few years ago, I struggled with feeling like my life wasn't going the way I thought it was supposed to. I felt behind, directionless, and honestly, just STUCK. Looking back, I realized I wasn't necessarily stuck because of my circumstances. I was stuck because I was holding onto things I needed to release. In this episode of Girls in Real Life, I'm getting honest about the things I had to let go…
What if the things that change your life aren’t always the things you buy? In today's episode, I’m sharing the investments that have truly shaped the woman I’m becoming. Not just the things that have changed my closet or appearance, but the things that have changed my heart, my mindset, and the way I show up in the world. From investing in my health, my business, my marriage, and my future to…
Have you ever wondered if someone is genuinely pursuing you... or if they're just love bombing you? In this episode, I'm sharing the difference between manipulation, genuine love, and how to recognize the signs of each. I'll also be sharing my own story of how I met my husband, why so many people thought we were moving too fast, and how I discerned our relationship was real and not just rushed.…
If you consider yourself to be an overthinker... this episode is for you. We're talking about irrational fears. And not ones like being afraid of clowns or flying, but the fears that don't seem irrational at all: the fear of making the wrong decision, being misunderstood, failing publicly, regretting your choices, or stepping into something unknown. The kind of fear that disguises itself as…
We've been treating peace like something we have to earn. Like once the finances stabilize, once the relationship feels easier, once the career finally clicks — then we can relax. Then we can breathe. Then we get to feel okay. But what if peace was never tied to your circumstances at all? In this episode I'm breaking down one of the most quoted verses in the Bible — Romans 8:28 — and why I think…
We are halfway through the year, and I think a lot of us are sitting with plans that aren't working, goals that no longer feel like ours, or ideas we've outgrown but can't bring ourselves to release. So instead of a "get back on track" pep talk, we're having a more honest conversation than that. In this episode, we're talking about the art of the pivot: what it actually means to change direction,…
Most of us don't notice when we're slipping spiritually. That's kind of the whole problem. For years, I navigated my faith alone. Which meant my blind spots stayed blind. No one was close enough to see what I couldn't see in myself. I'd go months without realizing anything had shifted. And then I got married, and all of that changed. This episode is about the adjustment that comes with having…
We all know what it feels like to fall off. Life gets busy, the good habits go first, and before you know it the routines you so carefully built up are now all gone. But here's the part nobody talks about: what happens when life slows back down and you still can't make yourself do it? In this episode, I'm getting real about being in a slump. Not as someone who's overcome it, but someone who's…
It's my birthday week, and I'm turning the big 3-0! I've been doing a lot of reflecting on the woman I was in my 20s, and if I'm being honest, there are a lot of things I'm not proud of. In this episode, I'm opening up about some of the mistakes and decisions I made throughout my 20s; the things I'm not proud of, but that ultimately shaped who I am today. This isn't about shame. It's about growth.…
I've officially been married for one year! Which means, of course I have to share the knowledge of everything I learned in my first year of marriage with the girls. In this episode, I’m sharing the things no one really prepares you for. From communication and conflict, to softness, intimacy, and the daily choice to love someone even in the most unfiltered, real-life moments. Marriage has a way of…
