Today's episode is a long overdue catch-up. I'm finally sharing the fuller story of what happened in 2025: the year God completely flipped my life, my work, my identity, and my priorities upside down.
If you've noticed that my content has shifted a lot over the last year, this is the why.
For years, this podcast has felt like the most full expression of me. Faith, motherhood, politics, wellness, the Bible, all of it. But Instagram had become heavily political. Eventually, the very work I thought was most important started costing me more than I realized, my peace, my presence, my family, and honestly, my soul.
In this episode, I'm sharing the story of how God began asking me to do something that felt harder than any "jump" of obedience He'd ever asked of me before: sit down, pull back, do less, trust Him, and let Him carry what I had been trying to hold together myself.
We talk about:
how political content became my full-time work
the moment I realized my priorities were deeply out of order
what disobedience looked like in real time
why 2025 felt like my "belly of the whale" year
the vision God gave me that changed everything
identity, striving, motherhood, and learning to be a daughter before a warrior
why I stepped back from politics online
what God has been rebuilding in me ever since
This one is personal. It's vulnerable. And it's probably the clearest picture I've given yet of the shift God has been walking me through. If you're in a season where God is asking you to slow down, let go, or trust Him in ways you do not like, this episode is for you.
