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.

Jennifer shares practical, faith-filled wisdom on how to invite more of Jesus into your daily life with your children and shift your focus from the horizontal (what the world expects) to the vertical (what God calls us to). 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.

👉 Tune in to discover how you can release the burden of guilt and experience more joy, peace, and freedom in your motherhood journey

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.

Welcome to a deeply personal episode of The Journey to Becoming. 💛 Today, I’m sharing my story of grief and healing after losing loved ones to suicide — and how, even 14 years later, God is still bringing restoration into my life.

Grief and joy are not opposites. They can coexist. 🌿 While grief is a natural response to deep loss, joy is a supernatural gift that flows from standing firm in God’s Word and His promises. In this episode, I open up about the process of shifting from asking “why” in our pain to asking “what” — What does God say about me? What does His Word reveal about who He is? What healing and purpose does He want to bring through this story?

We’ll talk about: ✨ The power of God to heal even the deepest wounds. ✨ Why we can’t listen to the lies of the enemy in our pain. ✨ How to lean into God’s truth for strength, comfort, and renewal. ✨ Scriptures that remind us that joy and grief can walk hand in hand.

If you’ve walked through the devastating pain of suicide loss, or you’re carrying any kind of grief, this episode will remind you that God has not abandoned you. He is still writing your story, and His restoration is greater than any loss. 🙏

🎧 Tune in now to be encouraged, strengthened, and reminded that even in the darkest valleys, joy is possible when we stand firm on the Word of God.

Have you ever felt like you’re behind in life because things didn’t happen on the timeline you imagined? In this heartfelt episode of The Journey to Becoming, I open up about turning 40 and the lessons God is teaching me about time, growth, and trusting His perfect plan.

The world and culture want us to believe that success has an expiration date—that we should have achieved certain milestones by a certain age. The enemy wants to whisper lies that we’ve wasted time, missed out, or haven’t accomplished enough. But here’s the truth: God is not limited by time, and neither are you. His plans are higher, His timing is perfect, and every year of life is a gift filled with opportunities to grow, flourish, and walk in His purpose.

In this episode, I’ll remind you that: ✨ You are not behind—you are right where God needs you to be. ✨ Time is not your enemy—God can redeem and restore every moment. ✨ Each year is a chance to celebrate life, growth, and God’s goodness.

If you’ve been wrestling with feeling “late” in life or questioning your progress, this episode will breathe encouragement into your spirit and help you anchor your heart in God’s truth.

🎧 Press play and be reminded: there are no time limits with God.

Are you tired of feeling stuck in cycles of negative thinking and self-defeating narratives? In this episode of The Journey to Becoming, I sit down with Christian mental health coach Karla Arges to talk about the power of our language, renewing our minds, and shifting from lies to God’s truth.

Carla has a passion for helping women break free from toxic thought patterns by combining biblical truth and science-backed evidence. Together, we explore how the words we speak—and the thoughts we dwell on—can either keep us trapped or propel us toward the fullness of life God has called us to live.

If you’ve been overwhelmed by the negative stories you tell yourself, this episode will give you: ✨ Practical tools to renew your mind and replace lies with truth ✨ A fresh perspective on how to speak life over your circumstances ✨ Encouragement that you can literally rewire your brain with God’s Word

It’s time to stop letting negative narratives hold you back. Step into freedom, speak God’s truth, and walk in the confidence of who He says you are.

🎧 Tune in and be encouraged—you don’t have to stay stuck in your old story.

I pray this blesses you,

Have you ever tried to restart an old routine that once worked perfectly, only to find it no longer fits your life today? In this episode of The Journey to Becoming, I’m talking about what it really means to “start again” with grace, intentionality, and God at the center. Instead of trying to force yourself back into a system or routine that worked in a past season, I’ll walk you through how to create a rhythm that works for where you are right now.

We’ll dive into:

• Why the routines that served you in the past may not serve you in your current season
• How to stop shaming yourself for “falling off track” and instead embrace a fresh start
• Practical steps to design a sustainable system that aligns with your faith, priorities, and daily responsibilities
• How to invite God into the process so that your routines are more than just habits—they’re life-giving rhythms that help you flourish

Whether you’re juggling motherhood, navigating career changes, or just feeling stuck in overwhelm, this conversation will give you the tools and encouragement you need to reset with confidence. You don’t have to go back to the old version of you to move forward—you can start fresh today.

If you’ve been craving clarity, consistency, and a routine that actually feels doable, this episode will remind you that starting again isn’t a setback—it’s a new opportunity for growth.
