Hello Reader, There’s a quiet belief many of us carry: “I’ll deal with it later.” Later, when life slows down. Later, when it hurts less. Later, when we have more capacity. But pain that gets postponed doesn’t disappear. It gets stored. Listen On iTunes | Spotify | YouTube In this episode of the StableMinded Podcast, I’m sharing how God has been teaching me about pruning, rest, and healing, while also leading other women through the brand new Evergreen Retreat & Bible Study curriculum.

Hello Reader, Are you ready to embrace a new season of spiritual, emotional, and relational growth? If so, then I have something I believe will meet you right where you are!

This is the bittersweetness of living between Eden and...

Hello Reader, In this episode of the StableMinded Podcast, we continue to explore what it looks like to give ourselves “permission to change.” By looking intentionally at our spiritual, emotional, and relational health through a framework drawn from Erikson's developmental model, side-by-side with the stages of spiritual maturity, we can gain insight into how our developmental wounds and attachment patterns shape the way we relate to God and others. These patterns and coping strategies often...

That gap can create friction, misunderstanding, and a lot of internal pressure to stay the same for everyone else’s comfort. Change disrupts homeostasis. When one element in a system changes, the whole system feels it. That includes marriages, families,...

Hello Reader, Can you believe we're already one week into March? For so many of us, this is that time of year when we feel really worn down. The winter blues are beckoning for the hope of spring. The financial hit of the holidays may start lifting, although for those of us living in the US and coming through a hard winter, that relief in light of the circumstances and economy may not feel significant enough. I get it, on so many levels. That is one of the reasons I pivoted with the Equipped...

Hello Reader, Lasting transformation requires more than willpower. It needs healing from the inside out. 🤍 On the latest episode of the StableMinded podcast, I talked about something I've experienced firsthand and see every week in my work with women: You can white-knuckle change for a while.You can push through.You can try harder. But if your nervous system is exhausted…If old survival patterns are still running the show…If anxiety or unprocessed trauma is quietly driving your decisions…...

Hello Reader, It's official! The Equipped Group Program is now kicking off on March 12! Yes, I made the decision to postpone the start date, shorten the length of commitment to 3 weeks, and cut the cost in half! I'm so glad I listened to my gut on this one, because I truly believe this format will meet US where we are at. Yes, US! Maybe you feel just like I do . . . wondering what God is up to, curious about the rerouting, unsure of the next step. Yes, feeling like life is upside down can...
