• 100 | When God Turns Small Steps Into Big Impact: Celebrating a Milestone
    Nov 24 2025

    We made it to Episode 100! And today’s milestone episode is a heartfelt celebration of God’s faithfulness, obedience, and the power of speaking life.

    In this special episode, I take you all the way back to the exact day I launched this podcast—how nervous and excited I felt, how unqualified I thought I was, and the unforgettable message a friend sent me after listening to that very first episode. She spoke life, purpose, and prophetic encouragement over this show… and looking back now, she had no idea how accurate her words would be.

    Because today, this podcast is a globally ranked show, reaching women all around the world with messages of hope, identity, and purpose in Christ. Only God could write a story like this.

    To honor how far we’ve come, I’m doing something special: ✨ I’m replaying the very first episode — a “sweet repeat”... so you can hear where it all began.

    Whether you’ve been here since day one or you’re just now joining this journey, this episode is a reminder that:

    – God wastes nothing – Obedience opens doors you can’t see yet – Your “small beginning” is never small to Him – And He is absolutely faithful to finish what He starts

    Thank you for being part of this incredible journey. Here’s to the next 100 episodes — and everything God still has in store!

    Listen in and celebrate with me!

  • 99 | 3 Keys to Building Real Consistency (Even When Life Gets Busy)
    Nov 17 2025

    As the year winds down and the holidays roll in, it’s so easy to lose momentum. Maybe you started strong this year - focused, intentional, full of faith…but somewhere along the way, life got busy. The calendar filled up, routines slipped, and now you’re tempted to say, “I’ll just start fresh in the new year.”

    But what if you didn’t have to wait for January 1st to get back on track? What if this season, right here in the middle of the hustle and bustle, could actually be the moment God teaches you what consistency really looks like?

    In this episode of The Journey to Becoming Podcast, we unpack 3 powerful keys to building consistency in your faith, habits, and daily life…especially when everything feels chaotic or out of rhythm. Remember, that consistency isn’t about perfection…it’s about progress. It’s showing up with what you have, trusting that God can multiply your small steps into something extraordinary.

    You’ll learn how to: 1️⃣ Forecast wisely - take an honest inventory of your current commitments, understand what this season actually requires of you, and plan from your present reality - not a past version of yourself. 2️⃣ Identify the true voice of consistency - the one that sounds like an encourager, a “sis” cheering you on and reminding you of your why, not the voice of perfection that criticizes every mistake. 3️⃣ Recenter your perspective with God’s truth - because as Galatians 6:9 reminds us, “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”

    If you’ve been feeling inconsistent, distracted, or ready to hit the reset button, this episode will encourage you to redefine what consistency looks like and remind you that God honors your obedience - not your perfection.

    ✨ Because consistency isn’t about doing everything right - it’s about showing up, trusting God with the process, and believing that He’s still working, even in the middle.

  • 96 | “Do It Scared”: Finding Faith and Purpose Through Breast Cancer with Brittany Lara
    Oct 27 2025

    In this powerful episode of The Journey to Becoming Podcast, I sit down with Brittany, whose faith was deeply refined through her battle with breast cancer in her 20s. What began as a season of fear and isolation became a testimony of courage, purpose, and unwavering trust in God’s plan.

    Brittany shares how her diagnosis changed her perspective on life, motherhood, and calling — and how choosing to “do it scared” became her anthem for stepping into God’s purpose, even when nothing made sense. From walking through chemo to writing her first book, her story is a beautiful reminder that you are never too old, too far gone, or too late for the dreams God placed in your heart.

    If you’ve ever faced a season of uncertainty or loss, this episode will encourage you to keep going, keep believing, and trust that God is still writing your story. Because it’s not about what we can do — it’s about how big our God is.

    🎧 Tune in to be encouraged and reminded that even in life’s hardest battles, God is still faithful, and His plans for you are good.

    Oct 20 2025

    In a world that glorifies hustle, visibility, and constant noise, God calls us to something radically different — a quiet life. In this episode of The Journey to Becoming Podcast, we dive into what it truly means to live a quiet life that honors God, based on 1 Thessalonians 4:11–12.

    You’ll discover the difference between a secret life that isolates and a quiet life that cultivates peace, purpose, and integrity. Together, we’ll unpack three biblical ways to slow down, tune out the world’s chaos, and tune into God’s voice.

    ✨ In this episode, we’ll explore how to:

    • Be grounded in God’s presence instead of people’s approval
    • Stay faithful and steward what’s in front of you
    • Choose integrity over image in every area of your life

    This episode will encourage you to stop striving for validation and start living from a place of rest and confidence in who God created you to be.

    Motherhood is one of the greatest gifts from God, yet so many moms carry the heavy weight of guilt and shame. In this encouraging episode of The Journey to Becoming Podcast, I sit down with guest Jennifer Bosma, speaker and encourager of mamas, to talk about how to release mom guilt and walk in the freedom Christ offers.

You’ll leave this conversation feeling encouraged, equipped, and renewed with the truth that you don’t have to do it all…and that God’s grace is more than enough.

    If you’ve ever struggled with the pressure to be the “perfect mom,” this episode will give you practical tools, spiritual encouragement, and a fresh perspective on what it really means to embrace motherhood as a gift from God.

  • 93 | Holy Nerves: Why Feeling Nervous and Excited Is a Sign of Growth
    Oct 6 2025

    Are you feeling both nervous and excited about stepping into something new? That mix of emotions—what I like to call being “nercivited”—isn’t a sign of weakness. It’s actually a sign of growth. In this episode of Overwhelmed to Overcomer, we explore the power of eustress—the “good stress” that motivates us to grow, take courageous steps, and walk in God’s purpose for our lives.

    We’ll look at how anticipation (whether it’s starting a new job, planning a vacation, trying a new workout, or pursuing a new relationship) can stretch us in healthy ways. More importantly, we’ll dive into what Scripture says about stepping into these moments with faith. Through Joshua 1:9 and Joshua 3:5, we see God’s call to be strong and courageous, and His promise to do amazing things when we walk in courageous obedience.

    By the end of this episode, you’ll discover how to:

    • Reframe “nervous energy” as a tool for spiritual and personal growth
    • Step into new opportunities with courage, not fear
    • Trust God’s presence as you prepare for His amazing work in your life

    If you’ve ever wondered how to turn your stress into strength, this conversation will encourage and equip you to lean into God’s stretching seasons with joy and confidence.

    👉 Scripture References: Joshua 1:9, Joshua 3:5

    ✨ Be ready to identify your own “nercivited” moments and see them as holy invitations to grow into all God has for you.
