About this listen

Ever feel like life just gets hard and MESSY sometimes? Because, girl - ME TOO. Welcome to the Eighth & Grace Podcast. I'm Brandy. Daily, I delicatly juggle and balance being a mama, wife, nanna B, seminary student, writer, Bible teacher, coffee re-heater, and recovering overthinker. Also, going on 16-years of being a Nurse Practitioner. So when I say I've seen messy, I reallyyyy mean it. But, the physical body can sometimes be a lot easier to treat than the emotional and spiritual aspects of our body. You see the pain, most of the time, you can fix the pain. Our faith and emotions aren't quite so obvious. After walking alongside women through the high and hard seasons of life, I wanted to create a grace space for messy faith - so we can all know we aren't alone and be singing GIRL ME TOO collectively. WE are in this TOGETHER. Life is hard. AND you're covered in grace. Life is complicated. AND you can still hope again. Both can be true and I want to stand with you as I remind us that God is still good. Even when this world is broken. Eighth & Grace is a hub for broken vessels so we will be covering everything from the mundane moments of everyday life and self exploration to clinging to our faith and holding onto the thread of Jesus garment. Girl, you've got a place here. And I'm so honored to be part of your journey. Let's grow together. I'm Brandy and this is the Eighth & Grace Podcast. https://www.brandyadawson.com/2025 Christianity Personal Development Personal Success Spirituality

  • What About This? Snow Predictions, Soup Season, and Slowing Down
    Jan 30 2026

    I love a good self-aware moment:)if you do too, and a whole ramble-- this one's for you.

    Snow predictions, family group chats, soup season, and a cozy conversation about caring for ourselves in a loud world. In this episode, we talk nervous system care, gentle morning rhythms, faith that doesn't rush healing, and how to move out of survival mode with more joy, grace, and steadiness- one ordinary day at at time.

    Also, maybe you'll be able to tell me how many times I said ramble.

  • Health Without Hustle + Staying Awake in Our Soft Girl Era| Episode 38
    Jan 28 2026

    What if I am vulnerable enough to share a real-life stewardship story: RO, nervous system system regulation, and letting Jesus carry what was never ours to hold- would you want to hear it? if so, and you're craving a real-life... let's chat!

    This is a real-life, real-body episode,-grounded, non-performative, and not trend-chasing. We're talking health without hustle, care without shame, staying wide awake, and letting God carry what we cannot.....

    Gentle January is coming to a close and the world still feels loud, its being the world. In this solo episode, we talk about stewarding a healthier journey, staying awake without hardening, holding justice and mercy together, and moving into Febuary with tenderness, conviction, and hope. This isn't a debate or teaching- it's a reflective conversation about faithfulness, nervous systems, joy, and what it means to mother a movement across generations without losing softness.(Insert our Soft Girl Era:)

    I'm sharing my RO journey, not because the numbers are impressive and not because a shot is magic, but because I am learning slow, integrated stewardship: hormones, nourishment, nervous system care, boundaries, and Jesus at the center help me be the best me I can be- and I am still learning more.

    I'm also naming something tender in the air right now: the pressure to respond to everything, all the time-until our hearts harden or our nervous systems collapse.

    A reminder that even here, even now, He is with us- and there is still freedom, peace, and wildly hopfeul expectation.

  • Devotion or Depletion: Let's Talk About That
    Jan 23 2026

    You love Jesus but you're tired, let's talk about that. Many of us walk through life existing because we're so tired. Faithful women are living exhausted- not because their faith is weak, but because their bodies have been carrying too much for too long.

    In this episode, we talk about the difference between devotion and depetion, why spiritual burnout often shoes up in the nervous system, and how anxiety isn't a faith problem. Scripture shows us about rest, regulation, and living faithful- without being in survival mode.

    If you love Jesus, still showing up, and quietly worn out in your bones, you want to listen in to this. We'll talk about working without urgency, resting without guilt, and finding a softer, steadier rhythm that doesn't require quitting your real life.

    This one's for you.
