Hey mama—welcome to the very first episode! I’m sharing why I moved on from my old podcast and how God led me into a new season—one focused on real, soul-level self-care

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, unseen, or like you’re running on empty, this space is for you.

In this episode, we’re talking:

• The emotional weight of motherhood and hidden struggles

• Breaking points that led me to seek real help

• What true self-care looks like (it’s deeper than spa days)

• How God gave me the call to start this podcast

Is self-care something that only happens when the kids are older and life slows down? Nope. In this episode, we’re getting real about why self-care matters right now, even in the messy middle of motherhood. I’ll walk you through what self-care actually is (hint: it’s deeper than bubble baths), how to get started without guilt, and the powerful ways it transforms not just your health — but your motherhood. If you’ve been feeling tired, overwhelmed, or lost in your identity as "just mom," this one’s for you.

In This Episode, We Talk About:

• Why self-care is not selfish — it's stewardship

• The real definition of self-care (beyond spa days and face masks)

• How to start a self-care journey with just one small step

• My personal story: how I started with spiritual care, therapy, and tiny health habits

• How taking care of yourself helps you love your people better

• Simple resources and tools to help you start right now

It has been really fun recording my podcast these last couple months.

I am so proud of myself for stepping out of my comfort zone and trying something new.

Thank you to all 500 of you who listened from Columbia, Canada, Mexico, South Africa, New Zealand, United Kingdom and of course the US. I appreciate every single one of you!

On this episode, I discussed what I have learned during this process. What I might do differently next season, and if I want to continue talking about adoption or not.

Thank you for your support!

In this episode, I discussed how to go the extra mile to create a healthy relationship with your bio or adopted child.

As moms we juggle a lot of ‘balls”/ things. It is important to learn which of those balls are glass balls and which are rubber balls. If you let the glass balls fall they will break, but the rubber balls will bounce back. In other words, prioritize  those things that are important to you and focus on them.  I shared my “glass balls,” I hope these inspire you to find yours.

Thank you for listening!

In this episode, I shared an adoptive mom’s experience on what she wished she would have known before adopting 6 kids. They were all very interesting.  Some of them were, birth moms are not scary, adoption ethic, love is not always enough and more.

I also shared a couple of things that I wish I would have known before being adopted. Things like how much your life will change after being adopted.  When trying to find your place in your family, you will interrupt bonds and relationships that were already created.

My prayer is that these experiences will help adopted families understand adoption from different perspectives and encourage them to create deeper relationships with their child(ren)

Thank you for listening!

This episode was one of my favorites I recorded, it brought back so many amazing memories.  In this episode, I discussed how missionaries impacted my life and the lives of other children from the orphanage in Liberia. Some of those missionaries were Clarissa Jaimes, Chabo, Stephanie Jones (Teahn), Fairlite Rogers, Jenny, Melly, and lots more.

If you are someone who God has called to go to third world countries to help orphans, please Go! It is not really about you; it is about the children whose life you are going to impact forever.

Thank you for listening!
