122. Trying ~ But Still Stuck? Here's Why

Are you trying—really trying—but still feel stuck?
You’re putting in effort.You care.You’re doing your best.
And yet… something isn’t moving.
In today’s episode, we’re talking about why trying harder isn’t always the answer—and how expecting perfection might actually be the thing keeping you stuck. We’ll explore what progress really looks like, why being kind to yourself matters more than you think, and how letting go of perfection opens the door to real movement.
If you’ve ever wondered why effort alone isn’t getting you where you want to go, this conversation is for you.

121. Your Problem Isn't Motivation or Discipline

Your problem isn’t motivation or discipline — even if it feels that way.
In this episode, we’re talking about what’s really going on when you keep giving up on yourself, feel frustrated with your progress, or quietly wonder why growth seems so hard. We explore why self-criticism doesn’t create change, how the opinion you have of yourself shapes your behavior, and what it looks like to practice charity toward yourself — not just toward others.
Drawing from scripture and lived experience, we focus on three often-misunderstood attributes of charity: suffering long, enduring, and bearing — and how learning to apply them inward can change the way you grow, heal, and keep going. This episode is an invitation to stop fighting yourself and start learning how to stay with yourself instead.

119. Nothing Is Wrong With You (And Why You Think There Is)

Let me ask you something.  When things don’t go the way you hoped…a relationship is strained…a door doesn’t open…or life just feels heavier than it should…
What do you make it mean about you?
Because most of the pain women carry isn’t coming from their circumstances.It’s coming from the story they’re telling themselves about who they are because of what’s happening or not happening.
And today, we’re going to talk about identity — how it’s actually formed, how it quietly shapes your life, and how you can start choosing it on purpose.
If you’ve ever wondered, “Why am I so hard on myself?” or “Why do I keep holding back even when I want more?”
This episode is for you.  Let’s dive in.

117. Stop Trying to Be Happy ~ It's Keeping You Stuck

Ever wonder why you quit chasing your dreams, or why your goals always seem to stall out? It’s not because you lack motivation. It’s not because you’re incapable, or that you missed your moment.
The real reason we stop pursuing the life we want is because we don’t want to feel the emotions that come with growth — the uncomfortable, awkward, uncertain emotions.
And here’s the part most of us don’t see: feeling emotions isn’t a problem. Avoiding them is.
Today, we’re going to talk about what it actually looks like to feel any feeling and still move forward. Because when you can handle the emotions that come with pursuing your goals, there is nothing you can’t create.
