About this listen

Welcome to a becoming-space. A place for imperfectly ready people to say yes to more Jesus and actual friendships with their neighbors. A place for introverts and workaholics and people-pleasers and self-doubters. Welcome, welcome, if that’s you! I get that pull you feel to go deeper. Find purpose, meaningful conversations, community. I also get how you think you’re not ready. Want to know a secret?! None of us are, least of all me! Also true is that we BECOME ready after, not before, we say yes. Yes to baby steps that deepen relationships and let God spill out everywhere. Yes to becoming more curious, more approachable, more moldable in the tender hands of Jesus. It’s a process. A beautiful, becoming process where we look less and less like we used to and more and more like Him.The Uncommon Normal Relationships Social Sciences Spirituality

  • 205 - How to Detach Self-Worth From Your Helpfulness (Enneagram 2s)
    Jun 10 2025

    There you are. You’re quick to see the needs in front of you, but sometimes it feels like no one sees you.

    You are more than the warm, smiling face greeting us at the door. More than the volunteer we count on for an enthusiastic “yes.” More than the way you welcome both friend and stranger with the hugs we all love.

    Sometimes your worth gets all tangled up in what you can do to serve others. Your helpfulness is a beautiful reflection of Jesus inside you—true. But let’s detach self-worth from all the things that require you to bend backwards or burn out.

  • 204 - How to Stop Nitpicking and Rest in Acceptance (Enneagram 1s)
    Jun 3 2025

    To you, exhausted from trying so hard to be perfect, weighed down by feeling worthless, worrying about what others think of you–let’s take a big exhale together.

    It’s time for a trade: The intrusive anxiety, the dreaded insufficiency, and the battle in your mind–for acceptance that doesn’t hinge on your perfection.
