EP44 - Living A Life of Overflow: Maia Mae Huff on Trusting God In Every Aspect of Life

EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of Rooted, Josie and Symone dive into a deeply encouraging conversation with Maya Mae Huff—Christian podcaster, speaker, entrepreneur, and co-host of the Overflow Podcast. Maya shares her powerful journey of faith, obedience, and trusting God not just with big decisions, but with the smallest details of life.

From hiking Mount Kilimanjaro with Compassion International to learning how waiting seasons refine our faith, Maya opens up about rest, calling, creativity, and navigating comparison in the age of social media. She reflects on Psalm 23, God’s delight in His children, and a remarkable story that shows how prayer and trust can transform hearts—even through something as simple as a lost pair of sunglasses.

This episode is a reminder that God is present in every detail, faithful in waiting seasons, and deeply invested in shaping our hearts through obedience, rest, and surrender.
