336. Are You Embracing Your True Potential? Setting Intentional Goals for a Fulfilling End of the Year // RE-RELEASE
This week’s episode is one of my very favorites — a replay from this time last year that still feels just as true today. It’s all about finishing the year with intention, peace, and purpose… instead of stress, striving, or burnout.
If you’ve felt a little disconnected or like you’re living on autopilot lately (been there, friend 🙋♀️), this episode is your gentle wake-up call.
Emmy joins me for a heart-to-heart conversation on: ✨ What it really means to “get back on track” — without hustle or pressure ✨ How to reconnect with yourself and your purpose after a busy season ✨ The power of setting identity-based goals instead of “should” goals ✨ How to tell yourself the truth — with grace instead of shame ✨ Practical ways to live awake, present, and intentional for the rest of the year
We talk about what it looks like to design your life 90 days at a time — not as a rigid plan, but as a rhythm that helps you stay aligned with your true self and God’s best for you.
If you’ve been waiting for the “perfect time” to start fresh — this is it. These last six weeks of the year can still be full of meaning, creativity, connection, and joy. 🌿

335. The Company You Keep: 7 Reasons Community Matters So Much
My heart is still overflowing after spending the weekend with the incredible women in our Life Mentoring School coaching community. Over 120 of us gathered together for a weekend of teaching, dancing, laughter, prayer, and deep connection — and it reminded me once again why the company you keep matters so much.
In this episode, I’m sharing seven reasons community is one of the most powerful forces for transformation — and why the people you surround yourself with quietly shape everything about the life you create.
We’ll talk about: 💛 How real, lasting transformation happens in relationship — not isolation 💛 Why belonging is a decision, not something you wait for 💛 How proximity determines what feels “normal” in your life 💛 What to do when you’ve outgrown certain circles 💛 Why contribution beats comparison every time 💛 How the right people make you braver 💛 And why legacy is never a solo project
I’ll also share a few behind-the-scenes stories from our most recent coaching event — the joy, the tears, the breakthroughs — and an invitation for you if you’re craving this kind of community too.
Maybe you’ve been walking through a season that feels lonely… or maybe you’ve been the one holding space for everyone else, and you’re finally realizing you need some support too. Friend, you don’t have to do it alone.
The company you keep can change everything — for your growth, your joy, and your legacy. 🌿
P.S. If you’ve felt that nudge to become a coach or mentor, to turn your own transformation into impact — this is your sign. Certification for our February class is now open for a limited time. Come be part of this powerful community of women who are living, leading, and loving from their true selves.

334. How to Deal with Difficult People (Without Losing Your Peace)
This is one of my favorite lessons that I’ve ever taught inside Life Mentoring School, and it feels especially fitting right before the holidays (you’ll see why).
Have you ever noticed that certain people just know how to push your buttons? Maybe it’s that relative who always stirs things up at Thanksgiving… or that coworker who seems to drain the life right out of the room.
Here’s the truth: when you decide someone is “difficult,” you’re actually giving them power over your peace. And I want to show you a better way.
In this episode, I’ll teach you how to take back your emotional power, how to stop letting other people’s behavior dictate your joy, and how curiosity and compassion can completely change the way you experience those relationships.
We’ll talk about: ✨ The hidden cost of labeling people as “toxic” or “difficult” ✨ How your brain finds more of what you focus on (and how to shift it) ✨ Simple tools to stay grounded, kind, and joyful in any situation ✨ Why curiosity and compassion can heal your heart (and your body) ✨ How to bring peace into every room you walk into — no matter who’s there
This isn’t about fixing other people. It’s about transforming how you see them — and how you show up.
So pour some coffee, take a deep breath, and let’s talk about how to keep your peace (and maybe even your sense of humor) when people are hard to love.

333. 4 Myths About Your Calling (and What’s Actually True)
This is my first episode back after wedding week! 🎉 We had the most magical, joy-filled celebration — and I’m still floating from all the love, beauty, and answered prayers. Thank you so much for your sweet messages and kind words — it meant the world to me!
Today we’re diving into a topic that has been close to my heart for years — your calling.
If you’ve ever wished God would just send you an email with your purpose, your five-year plan, and a clear next step — this one’s for you. I’ve been there! But over time, I’ve learned that our calling isn’t something we find somewhere “out there.” It’s something we wake up to — something that’s been right in front of us all along, waiting to be tended.
In this episode, I share: 💫 The four biggest myths we believe about our calling — and the truth that sets us free 💫 The story of a very cringey poem I wrote in high school (and what it revealed about my purpose even then) 💫 Why resistance is often a sign that you’re standing right in the middle of what matters 💫 How your gifts are never really about you — they’re the way God meets someone else’s need 💫 And why you’ll never “feel ready,” but you can still start — one small, brave step at a time
This is such an encouraging episode, especially if you’re in a season of wondering “what’s next?” or feeling a tug toward something new. Maybe you’ve been belittling your own gifts, comparing them to others, or waiting for perfect timing. I want this to be your reminder that:
Your calling isn’t lost. It’s already here. Your gifts aren’t small. They’re sacred. And the world needs what only you can give.
You don’t need a full roadmap — just the courage to say yes to what’s stirring in your heart.

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.
