About Episode

In this episode, I sit down with Kellie Sansone—an incredible woman, artist, mother, and friend with one of the kindest hearts you’ll ever meet. Kellie opens up about her business and how what began as a journey to rediscover herself has evolved into her greatest passion.

She shares how she models love and courage for her children, showing them how to dream by boldly walking out her own dream every single day. We also talk about what it’s like to make decisions that don’t always make sense to other people—and why choosing yourself is often the very thing that leads to clarity, calling, and freedom.

This conversation is full of compassion, grace, and understanding. Kellie’s story is a reminder that when we support one another with open hearts, we allow everyone to rise.

About Episode

In this episode, I sit down with Emily Ledbetter—marketing guru, podcast host, and a woman fiercely committed to showing up authentically. Emily opens up about her season of falling away from God and how her identity became tangled in what she could do for others rather than who she was created to be.

Now on a mission to release perfectionism, let go of control, and live with full transparency, Emily shares her heart with a vulnerability that will speak directly to anyone struggling to measure up. She is a woman on fire for Jesus, and her journey back to Him is powerful, honest, and deeply freeing.

This conversation is full of courage, truth, and the kind of wisdom that helps people breathe again. Emily’s story is going to bless so many.

About the Episode

In today’s episode, I sit down with Christopher Weedon—Founder of the Mentally Shredded Foundation, host of the Mentally Shredded Show, and a visionary leader who has transformed his pain into purpose. Chris opens up about the seasons of his life spent searching for love in all the wrong beds, drifting from the identity God gave him, and the breaking points that ultimately rebuilt him. He shares the raw truth of his lowest days and how those moments became the fuel behind his nonprofit, his podcast, and the new projects he’s boldly stepping into.

What makes this conversation even more meaningful is how closely our journeys mirror each other. Chris and I both know what it feels like to lose ourselves, and then slowly find our way back to a relationship rooted in Christs love. That shared experience is the foundation of a new collaboration that we’re beyond excited to bring to life.

Only on YouTube.

About Episode

In this heartfelt conversation, we sit down with Grace McAllister— a servant-hearted leader and truly one of the kindest souls you’ll ever meet. Grace opens up about God’s love and the beautiful, sometimes unexpected ways His plan continues to unfold in her life. She shares the prayers she’s currently praying, the ways she’s choosing trust over fear, and the tender invitation she extends to anyone seeking to know Jesus more deeply.

Together, we explore what it means to build trust with God through real relationship—much like the friendships we nurture every day. Grace also speaks on how the Holy Spirit communicates uniquely to each of us, reminding us that our walk with God won’t always look the same, and that’s okay. At the heart of it all is our shared responsibility to love people well, even when our journeys differ.

This episode is gentle, encouraging, and full of truth. You’ll walk away inspired to lean in, listen closely, and trust God with the chapters still being written.
