Authenticity is the highest vibration.

Why?

Because it allows you to fully live and love without fear.

No performing.
No pretending.
No constantly trying to fit yourself into who the world told you to be.

Just freedom.

This little ray of sunshine reminds me of that every single day. 😂✨

Completely herself.
Unfiltered joy.
Rainbow boots. Flower glasses. Unicorn headband. Cheetah jacket. Dog purse. Silly faces. Zero concern about being “cool.”

It makes me sad to thing somewhere along the way, many of us learned to shrink ourselves, to filter our actions, to hide our emotions, or to polish ourselves in order to be accepted.

But kids? They remind us who we were before the world told us to be someone else.

So if you needed a reminder today to let go a little more…
to stop overthinking…
to confidently be YOU…

Take this silly face as proof. 🤍 🤟🏻

I started this podcast back in February because I wanted to talk about the importance of The Middle Place.

That space between the past and the future.

The messy middle where you’re not totally sure how things are going to work out yet.

The identity death of the old version of you, while the new version is still unclear.

The transitional space between the life you lived and the life you’re being called to live now.

The faith practice that somehow holds hope and doubt in the same breath.

The “oh s**t, what am I doing?” season of life, where it feels like you jumped off a cliff and you’re not quite sure where you’re going to land.

That’s what this podcast is about.

I’m obsessed with transformation in every area of life, but I’ve always been most curious about the middle.

What did the process actually look like?
How did it feel before the breakthrough?
What happened in the unseen parts?

So I decided to bring you into my own messy middle.

The excitement.
The fear.
The anxiety.
The anticipation.
The hope.

All mixed together in one tight chest of faith.

So buckle up and come along for the ride.

And if you’re in your own middle place right now, just know this:

The wilderness of uncertainty is not the end of the story.

It’s often the place that leads to beauty you never could have imagined.

🗣️ PSA to husbands:

Date your wife every single week.

Yes… every week.

Not just on anniversaries or birthdays, but like your marriage depends on it.

Because honestly, it does.

The escape she gets from the chaos of life is often the very thing that helps her remember who she is outside of all the roles she carries.

Wife.
Mom.
Caretaker.
Problem solver.
Manager of everything.

When a woman feels loved, seen, pursued, and emotionally safe… she relaxes.

And the conversations, connection, laughter, and intimacy that come from consistent date nights are priceless.

Knowing there’s intentional time carved out for just the two of you becomes a gift to the longevity, peace, and strength of your marriage.

Set the reservation.
Make the plan.
Follow through.

Don’t stop dating the woman you chose.

29 days away from our big move and I can honestly say… I feel more peace than panic. 🙌🏻

In the past, seasons like this would have completely consumed me.

The unknowns. The logistics. The letting go. The “what ifs.” I would’ve white-knuckled my way through it trying to control everything around me so I could finally feel safe after it was all done.

This move feels so much deeper than just a location change. It feels spiritual. Like God has been preparing us for this for years through all the surrender, the breaking, the releasing, the simplification, the healing.

As I’m in the middle of all the uncertainty, I feel hope.

I still don’t know exactly what’s ahead, but I’m learning to finally trust Him more than I trust my own understanding.

Peace isn’t found in having all the answers, it’s found in letting go enough to believe you’re still being led even when you can’t fully see the path yet.

This is me.

The raw and the real.

43 years of trying to find myself in all the ways… only to finally find peace in my own skin.

No makeup. No hair done.

Just me.

There was a time you never would have caught me posting a photo without being fully done up. I thought I needed all the extras to feel beautiful, confident, enough.

But somewhere along the way, I realized how afraid we become of simply being ourselves.

We hide behind the filters, the makeup, the perfection, thinking that’s where our worth lives.

But what happened to the natural beauty underneath it all?

The real smile.
The real face.
The real woman.

I’m learning to embrace the beauty that exists far beyond the surface.

And maybe that’s the most beautiful version of us after all.

Birthday parties for my kids mean so much to me.

It’s a moment of time that is all theirs. They are center stage. The most important person in their world and that is so special.

Marley asked for a fairy garden party so I made it happen.

Man are birthdays so emotional for me. Another year older and another year gone. Oh how I wish I could keep her little.

Happy birthday sweet girl! 🧚🌼6️⃣🌳🦆

My morning thoughts during my Bible study and journaling…

I’m realizing persistence and perseverance are not the same thing.

Persistence feels more physical. Push. Produce. Perform. Keep going. Stay disciplined.

But perseverance feels deeper. It’s feels more spiritual. Emotional. Internal.

It’s the ability to stay soft while life stretches you.

To keep trusting when you can’t control the outcome.

To endure without hardening.

To keep loving, hoping, believing…even in uncertainty.

I think for a long time I lived in persistence, but this season of my life is teaching me perseverance.

And it feels so so different, in such a beautiful way. ❤️

This boy. ❤️

Our 4th son, Ronan, is 11 years old and asked if he could come to the gym with us at 6am.

I said yes without hesitation…because around here, that’s kind of a rite of passage.

One by one, each of his older brothers has gone through it. The early alarms. The sleepy car rides. Learning how to move their body. Learning discipline. Learning consistency. Learning how to do hard things before the world even wakes up.

Not because we forced them, but because over time they saw it modeled enough to eventually want it see for themselves.

And now it’s Ronan’s turn.

He wants to learn.
He wants to train.
He wants to be part of it.

Kids won’t always do what we say, but they will absorb what we live.
