• Soul Respite: Abide with Me | John 15
    Jul 25 2025

    In this Soul Respite, we pause, breathe, and sink deep into the life-giving truth of John 15. This passage is a love letter from Jesus to the weary soul—a reminder that we were never meant to do life apart from Him.

    Ivory reads through the chapter in multiple translations, allowing the Word to wash over you like healing rain. Whether you’re in a season of pruning, fruitfulness, or simply holding on, this episode is your invitation to abide.

    Let this time of Scripture and reflection quiet the noise around you and remind you:

    • You are already clean because of His Word.
    • The pruning is not punishment—it's preparation.
    • You are chosen, appointed, and planted to bear lasting fruit.
    • Apart from Him, we can do nothing—but in Him, joy overflows.
    • When you make your home in His love, you flourish.

    💛 This is your sacred pause. Come make your home in the Vine.

    What You’ll Receive in This Episode:

    • A peaceful, Spirit-led reading of John 15 in several translations (AMP Classic, NIV, The Message, NLT)
    • Encouragement for anyone in a pruning or refining season
    • A deeper understanding of what it means to abide and remain
    • Space to simply be in God’s presence and be reminded of His faithful love

    Reflection Questions & Soul Prompts:

    1. Where in your life are you resisting the pruning that’s meant to produce more fruit?
    2. Are you striving in your own strength or surrendering to the Vine?
    3. What does it look like for you to remain in His love this week?
    4. What fruit is the Holy Spirit cultivating in you right now?
    5. Have you forgotten that you are chosen? How can you live from that truth today?

    Soul Truth to Carry:

    You didn’t choose Him. He chose you. He appointed you to bear lasting fruit—and He’s not done yet. Abide, beloved one. The joy is coming.

  • Soul Reset: A Reminder to Hope
    Jul 11 2025

    In this Soul Reset, Ivory invites you into a sacred pause to reflect on the ache of deferred hope and where you’ve been anchoring your heart. When we place our hope in people, outcomes, or timelines instead of Jesus, discouragement and disappointment become heavy burdens we were never meant to carry

    This short, powerful episode reminds you that hope misplaced can make the heart sick—but hope anchored in Christ becomes a steady tree of life. If you've felt weary in the waiting or struggled to believe again, this episode is a gentle, soul-deep invitation to release false expectations and root yourself in the One who never fails.

    Whether you're navigating disappointment, feeling stuck, or just longing for a fresh breath of encouragement—this reset is for you.

    📝 Reflection Questions:

    As you listen, pause and reflect with these heart-searching prompts:

    • Where have I placed my hope in something other than Jesus?
    • What limiting belief about myself or God might be stealing my hope?
    • How can I invite God to anchor my heart again in the midst of the waiting?

    Take a few moments to journal your answers or bring them to God in prayer. He longs to anchor your soul in something eternal, even in this very season.

    🔁 Don’t forget:

    Every Soul Reset is designed to help you rise up and radiate—not just someday, but today. Share this episode with a friend who might be in a waiting season too.

  • De-Weaponizing the Darkness: Depression, Vulnerability & the Power of Light with Dr. Monique Starling
    Jul 4 2025

    In this raw and hope-filled episode, Ivory welcomes Dr. Monique Starling—licensed mental health counselor and certified trauma professional—for a powerful conversation on navigating depression, embracing therapy, and trusting God in the midst of deep emotional pain.

    Dr. Monique shares her personal story of walking through a four-year battle with depression while studying to become a therapist. Together, she and Ivory unpack the tension between calling and struggle, faith and mental health, and how God still wants to use us—even when we feel broken, tired, or unsure.

    This episode is an invitation to bring your hard places into the light and let God meet you there.

    Key Takeaways:
    • “Until it’s revealed, it can’t be healed.” Hiding keeps us stuck—healing begins with honesty.
    • You can be in purpose and still experience pain. God doesn't wait for perfection to use you.
    • Faith and therapy are not opposites—they can work together for wholeness.
    • The Holy Spirit is your Helper—even in the small, daily decisions.
    • Sometimes the most powerful ministry happens in your darkest valley.

    Listener Reflection Questions:
    1. What am I still carrying in the dark that needs to be brought into the light?
    2. Have I been equating struggle with failure—when it might actually be spiritual resistance?
    3. Am I open to the kind of support (therapy, coaching, community) that leads to freedom?

    If this episode spoke to your soul, share it with a friend who needs the reminder that they are still usable, still anointed, and still deeply loved by God. 💛

  • Walking from the Darkness into Destiny: The Power of One Yes with Olivia De La Rosa:
    Jun 6 2025

    In this heartfelt and empowering episode, Ivory sits down with her dear friend Olivia De La Rosa—a passionate second-grade teacher, big sister, and visionary educator with a God-sized dream. Olivia vulnerably shares how she’s navigating the tension between the dream God planted in her heart and the reality that doesn’t yet match what she imagined.

    Together, they dive into what it looks like to walk from darkness to light, especially when answering a call that feels overwhelming, out-of-reach, or “not for right now.” Olivia opens up about her journey through perfectionism, fear, comparison, and the deep inner work of aligning with God’s truth over the enemy’s lies.

    This episode is for the person who feels stuck between the vision and the victory—for the dreamer standing at the water’s edge, wondering if it’s safe to take the next step. Friend, this one’s for you.

  • Soul Respite: The Lord is My Shepherd | Psalm 23
    May 30 2025

    Take a sacred pause. In this Soul Respite episode, you're invited to slow down and rest in the timeless truth of Psalm 23, gently read in various Bible translations.

    This is not a teaching or a sermon. It is a holy space—an invitation to inhale peace and exhale pressure. Let the Word of God meet you wherever you are: weary, wandering, or simply needing to be reminded that you are never without a Shepherd.

    Whether you’re driving, drifting to sleep, or journaling in the early morning hours, let this reading wash over your soul like living water. Come weary, leave renewed.

    What to Expect in This Episode:

    • A gentle, Spirit-led reading of Psalm 23 in different translations
    • Soft background music to create a meditative atmosphere
    • Space for deep breaths, reflection, and divine presence
    • A closing prayer to seal the moment of rest with God's peace

    Why Psalm 23?

    Because sometimes, all we need is to be reminded:

    "The Lord is my Shepherd, I lack nothing..."

    His presence restores. His peace surrounds. His promises never fail.

    Reflection Prompts (Optional for Journaling):

    • Which translation spoke to you the most today?
    • What image or word stood out as a balm to your soul?
    • How is God inviting you to lie down in green pastures this week?

    Closing Invitation:

    If this soul respite blessed you, share it with a friend who may need a moment of stillness and grace today. And if you'd like more moments like this, be sure to follow the Rise Up & Radiate podcast for future soul resets, biblical encouragement, and Spirit-led inspiration.

  • Soul Reset- Strong and Courageous
    May 16 2025

    In this Soul Reset, Ivory walks us through a powerful, Spirit-led reflection on Joshua 1:6–9. If you’ve been standing on the edge of breakthrough but feeling overwhelmed by fear, uncertainty, or pressure—this one’s for you.

    God didn’t ask Joshua to feel strong and courageous—He commanded it. And He gives us the same divine invitation: to walk boldly into our purpose, grounded in His Word, and anchored in His presence.

    You’ll be reminded that true success comes not from striving but from obedience, alignment, and devotion. When your soul is reset, your steps become steady. Tune in and be refreshed, strengthened, and reminded that you are never walking alone.

    📝 Journal Prompt:

    Where in your life is God asking you to be strong and courageous?

    Are there areas where you’ve veered from His instructions?

    How can you return to daily meditation and obedience today?

    💌 Let’s Stay Connected:

    If this Soul Reset spoke to you, don’t keep it to yourself. Share it with a friend who needs strength for the journey.

    And if you’re ready to take your next step toward living boldly, authentically, and in alignment with who God created you to be—book a discovery call or join the email list at www.radiate-lifecoaching.com

  • What I'm Learning Through Dark Moments and Messy Faith
    May 2 2025

    Have you ever found yourself in a place where you know God is good, but your heart is struggling to believe it?

    In this deeply personal solo episode, Ivory shares what the Lord is teaching her in a season marked by physical weakness, spiritual wrestling, and the invitation to yield everything—her plans, her health, and even her ministry—back to Him.

    From struggling to sing “The Goodness of God” at church to realizing that fear was still sitting on the throne of her life, Ivory opens up about how surrender, worship, and discernment are shaping her in the dark moments she's faced recently.

    This is for you if your faith feels messy, your body is weary, or you’re walking through a hard season and need to be reminded: You don’t need perfect faith. You just need to cling to the One who is perfectly faithful.

    Key Takeaways:
    1. Surrender is the way to peace. Partial surrender leads to anxiety. Full surrender invites God’s peace into every part of your life.
    2. Wrestling doesn’t cancel your worship. Even in the dark, your faith has value. God honors your honesty and meets you there.
    3. Discernment is your defense. The enemy often whispers lies that sound like your own thoughts—knowing God's voice is how you fight back.

    Let’s Connect:

    If this episode spoke to you, Ivory would love to hear from you.

    Email her at ivory@radiate-lifecoaching.com or book a free discovery call to go deeper in your own season of healing and surrender.
