  • Timing Can Be Everything

    Timing Can Be Everything
    Oct 6 2025
    This week, I open up about the moments in life that nearly broke me—and the unexpected ways God and community showed up to remind me I wasn’t alone. From running (or my version of it!) with a heart full of gratitude, to remembering the days when I had no power, no water, and no money, I share the sobering truth that resilience is often born in the hardest places.You’ll hear a story I’ve never shared publicly, about a season of pain and seizures so severe that I nearly gave up until a letter showed up at just the right time. I talk about the angels God sent to help me, the kindness of friends and strangers who kept my family afloat, and why moving our bodies and moving toward hope go hand in hand.If you are in a dark place right now, please know this: there is hope for you. And if you’re standing in the light, be that hope for someone else.

    Episode Highlights:
    [01:20] A sobering reminder while helping someone in need
    [04:15] Praise at the pump and gratitude for health
    [07:45] The healing power of moving your body
    [12:30] Seizures, pain, and the moment I almost gave up
    [18:15] God’s timing and a letter that saved my life
    [24:00] Stories of community showing up in big ways
    [29:00] Choosing to be hope and light for others

  • Transformation Is Rarely Fun

    Transformation Is Rarely Fun
    Sep 29 2025
    As I prepared for my upcoming TED Talk, I realized the message I couldn’t shake was resilience. Not the easy kind we talk about in hindsight, but the real, raw kind that comes when life shatters your plans and leaves you with no choice but to dig deep.I open my heart about divorce, infidelity, financial struggle, and the mistakes I made along the way. I also share how faith, prayer, and the kindness of others carried me when I thought I couldn’t make it! Through every heartbreak and setback, I’ve learned that resilience is fully about trusting God to turn even the hardest seasons into a foundation for growth, strength, and compassion. I hope that this story reminds you that no matter what you’re facing, you are stronger than you think, and your next chapter can be more beautiful than you ever imagined.

    Episode Highlights:
    [01:30] Preparing for a TED Talk and shifting the topic to resilience
    [03:15] Childhood lessons in faith and early resilience
    [05:00] Divorce, infidelity, and why it felt harder than death
    [09:00] Mistakes I made during divorce and what I wish I’d done differently
    [17:30] The importance of self-care and recognizing red flags
    [20:00] Resilience as a muscle built in adversity
    [22:15] Learning forgiveness, finding strength, and starting anew with Hugh

    This week, I sit down with my dear friend Aaron Rich. He’s an entrepreneur, podcast host, fisherman, and community builder. We talk about leadership that trusts people, making room for fun (yes, fishing on the golf course), and how his podcast “Road to Rich” lifts up local voices.

  • Choosing Soundtracks That Push Me Forward

    Choosing Soundtracks That Push Me Forward
    Sep 8 2025
    This one was totally unplanned and straight from my heart. Since we’re more than halfway through the year, I pulled out my New Year's affirmation, “My Wild, Precious Life,” and graded myself. What’s working. What isn’t? And where I’m still growing. I also drew two cards from Jon Acuff’s Soundtracks deck, because fear comes free but hope takes work. You’ll hear how I’m setting better boundaries, showing up scared on stage, tending my health with intention, and choosing thoughts that move me forward.Episode Highlights: [00:39] Mid-year reflection and the importance of this episode[01:00] Shoutout to sponsors: Amore Boutique and Salon[02:08] Plan for the episode: self-assessment and affirmation review[02:24] Reading the affirmation: "My Wild, Precious Life"[03:12] Self-assessment: being intentional with time and energy[04:23] Setting healthy boundaries and book recommendations[05:09] Focusing on writing and speaking, overcoming stage fear[06:18] Speaking at Gulf Coast Children's Advocacy Center[07:37] Eating healthy whole foods and working with a fitness coach[08:51] Attuning to God's calling and personal mission[10:30] New sponsor: The Grocery, Kitchen and Tap Room[11:28] Self-assessment: saying no to unimportant things[12:13] Loving life despite challenges, gratitude after brain surgery[13:21] Fitness journey and the impact of health challenges[14:10] Money management and learning from financial experts[15:48] Drawing a card from the Soundtracks deck: "Fear comes free.

  • Try Having Shorter Pity Parties

    Try Having Shorter Pity Parties
    Aug 25 2025
    This surprise Pop-Up is a reminder that life is too short for long pity parties. I open up about being sick, what my battle with COVID taught me about truly caring for my body, and why it’s so important to keep our soundtracks positive and life-giving.

    You’ll hear me reflect on Jon Acuff’s wisdom from All It Takes Is a Goal and Soundtracks, and how I’ve learned to shorten my pity parties, shift my mindset, and show up with more humility and compassion for others. I also share from Bob Goff’s "Dream Big" and the ways God has used hard seasons to shape me into a more peaceful and less judgmental version of myself.

    I also ask for prayers and support for my dear friends Beth and Ryan Mulvey. Ryan is fighting for his life right now, and Beth is fighting insurance battles just to get him the care he needs. Ryan is beloved in the golf community, on ESPN Radio, and by so many who know his kind heart. Instead of a pity party, let’s have a prayer party for Ryan and send faith, love, and encouragement his way. If you’re able, consider supporting them with meals, gift cards, or simply holding them in your thoughts and prayers.

    Episode Highlights:
    [01:15] Personal Health Struggles and Reflections
    [03:42] The Power of Positive Thinking
    [04:14] Shortening Pity Parties
    [08:04] Supporting Others in Need
    [09:36] Personal Growth and Humility
