I recorded this episode from a place built for waiting, and it cracked something open in me- I’ve come to realize how much of life happens in the in-between- the pauses we rush past or try to numb with distraction. Advent isn’t about doctrine for me; it’s about learning how to wait without giving up hope, how to stay present when nothing is resolved yet. I reflect on how technology has trained us to expect everything instantly, even transformation, and how that impatience can rob us of the quiet formation happening underneath. Through stories, memories, and small moments of kindness, I explore how waiting isn’t wasted time-n it’s often where healing, connection, and becoming actually begin. The story isn’t over. It’s still unfolding. And maybe waiting is part of the magic.

Key Takeaways:

• Waiting isn’t a failure or delay- it’s often the space where real transformation quietly takes shape.
• Speed and immediacy don’t create depth; formation happens when we allow ourselves to stay present in the in-between.
• Kindness, storytelling, and hope keep us connected to ourselves and each other, especially during seasons of grief and change.

In this episode of The Imperfect Prophet, I unpack how memory, emotion, and self-doubt collide. A trip to the Tower of London becomes the backdrop for a deeper reflection on why our memories sometimes feel slippery, why we question ourselves so quickly, and how cultural biases often make women doubt what they know to be true. I share a story about a “missing block,” the way the holiday season can stir up emotional fog, and why trusting your intuition is one of the greatest survival skills women have. This conversation is all about giving yourself permission to honor what you remember, even when the world wants to make you second-guess it.

Key Takeaways:

• Cultural bias affects how recollections are believed.
• Emotional memories are still valid memories.
• Intuition is a real and necessary navigation tool for women.

I’m getting honest about the “holiday hostage situations” we slip into without noticing: the obligations, the unspoken roles, the traditions that once felt sweet but now feel suffocating. I explore why it’s so easy to regress at family gatherings, how invisible contracts shape our choices, and why advocating for ourselves isn’t selfish- it’s sacred. This episode is an invitation to breathe, renegotiate, release what no longer fits, and create new traditions that honor the woman you’re becoming, not the girl you once were.

Key Takeaways:

• Renegotiate old traditions and release holiday obligations that drain your energy.
• Setting boundaries and asking better questions creates room for joy, not conflict.
• You are not responsible for managing anyone else’s emotions; your peace is a valid priority.
