In this inspiring episode of The Journey to Becoming, I sit down with content creator Talia Perez to talk about all things confidence with God at the center. 💛 We dive into why you glow differently when you know who and whose you are, and how true confidence comes from understanding your identity in Christ.

Talia is a refreshing voice in the online space—pointing everything back to the Creator of the universe, showing up authentically, and staying rooted in her values. In a world full of comparison and pressure to perform, she shares practical encouragement for staying true to your faith, your calling, and the person God created you to be.

✨ Whether you’ve been struggling with self-worth, feeling the weight of online culture, or simply need a reminder that your confidence is not in what you do but in who God says you are, this conversation will lift your spirit and refocus your heart.

🎧 Tune in, be encouraged, and let this episode remind you that confidence rooted in Christ changes everything.

I pray this blesses you,

Welcome to Week 9 — the final week of Fruitful Girl Summer! 🌸 This week, we’re tackling a fruit of the Spirit that can be one of the hardest to master — self-control.

The world often tells us to “follow our feelings,” but God calls us to live led by the Spirit, not by our impulses. 💪 In this episode, I’m sharing what the Bible says about self-control, how it protects your purpose, and why it’s a key to living in freedom rather than bondage.

✨ We’ll dig into scriptures like Galatians 5:19-21 and Titus 2:11-12, and talk about how self-control impacts everything from your thoughts and words to your habits and relationships. You’ll discover how it’s not about willpower alone, but about relying on the Holy Spirit to help you choose what’s best over what’s easy.

👀 PLUS: I’m giving you this week’s self-control challenge and reflection questions to help you put what you learn into action — so you don’t just hear the Word, but live it.

Whether you’re working on breaking unhealthy patterns, creating new routines, or guarding your heart and mind, this episode will give you practical tools and spiritual encouragement to walk in discipline and grace. 💛

🎧 Tune in, share with your girl gang, and let’s finish Fruitful Girl Summer strong — becoming the women God has called us to be, from the inside out.

Welcome to Week 8 of Fruitful Girl Summer! 🌸 This week, we’re exploring a fruit of the Spirit that’s often misunderstood — gentleness. The world may see gentleness as weakness, but God shows us that it's actually a sign of deep strength and spiritual maturity. 💪

In this episode, we dive into what the Bible says about gentleness, how it reflects the heart of Jesus, and why it’s essential for your relationships, leadership, and inner peace. 🙏 You'll hear how gentleness is not about being passive, but about allowing the Holy Spirit to guide your words, your tone, and your reactions.

✨ We’ll look at key scriptures like Matthew 11:29 and Proverbs 15:1 — and reflect on how practicing gentleness is a powerful witness of the character of Christ.

👀 PLUS: Don’t miss this week’s gentleness challenge and reflection questions to help you grow in your spiritual walk.

Whether you’re parenting, working, leading, or just navigating your daily life, this episode will encourage you to walk in the soft strength that comes from abiding in Him. 💛

🎙️ Fruitful Girl Summer Week 7☀️🍍: Faithfulness — Rooted in Abiding, Stewardship & Fruitfulness

In this powerful episode of Fruitful Girl Summer, we’re leaning into the often-overlooked yet essential fruit of the Spirit: Faithfulness. 💛

What does it really mean to be faithful — especially when no one is watching? In Week 7, we explore how true faithfulness starts with remaining in God, abiding in His Word, and trusting His timing. 🙏

• Stewardship plays a key role in how we honor what God entrusts to us 📖
• The parable of the talents reveals God’s heart for faithful living
• One of the greatest rewards we can receive is to hear: “Well done, good and faithful servant.” (Matthew 25:23)

Whether you’re in a season of sowing, waiting, or harvesting, this episode will encourage you to keep showing up with obedience and trust.

🎧 Plus, don’t miss this week’s challenge and reflection to help you walk out your faithfulness in your everyday life!

This week’s Fruitful Girl Summer episode is extra special because I’m joined by my sweet 11-year-old daughter to talk all about kindness—what it means, how it impacts others, and why it matters so much to God. 💛

We’re diving into Colossians 3:12 and other powerful scriptures that show us how kindness isn’t just being “nice”—it’s a reflection of Jesus’ heart. His kindness leads us to repentance, transformation, and freedom. In this conversation, we share real-life stories (including one from a recent dance competition!) and practical ways to grow in kindness as a family.

This is a great episode to listen to with your kids, or share with your mom group or church community. We pray it encourages meaningful conversations in your home and reminds you that small acts of kindness can make a big Kingdom impact.

🌸 Fruitful Girl Summer! 🍓

✨ Welcome to Week 4 of Fruitful Girl Summer! ✨ This week, we’re talking all about 🍓 Patience — the kind that reflects the heart of our loving, faithful, and patient God.

Let’s be real: patience doesn’t come easy in a world that wants everything right now. Whether you're stuck in traffic, waiting for a prayer to be answered, or growing weary with people or even yourself… we all have moments where our patience wears thin. But here’s the truth: God is patient with us—it's in His nature. And as daughters of God, we are called to mirror that same kind of grace.

In this episode of The Journey to Becoming Podcast, we’ll explore how to become more self-aware of the areas in our life where patience is needed most. You’ll be invited to slow down, check your heart, and ask: 💭 Where am I struggling to wait well? 💭 Who or what is testing my patience? 💭 Am I extending the same grace to others that God has given to me?

🌼 Plus, you’ll get a simple but powerful Fruitful Girl Daily Challenge to help you practice patience on purpose today.

This episode is for the woman who’s ready to stop striving, start trusting, and embrace the slow, steady work God is doing in her life. You’re not being delayed—you’re being developed. 💕

🌸 Fruitful Girl Summer! 🍓

Welcome to Week 3 of Fruitful Girl Summer —our 9-week journey walking through the fruit of the Spirit as found in Galatians 5:22–23. This week, we’re leaning into the gift and fruit of PEACE 🕊️—a peace that doesn’t come from your circumstances, but from the presence of God Himself.

In this episode, we’re looking at:

🌊 How God promises peace that flows like a river (Isaiah 66:12) 💪 What it means for peace to surpass all understanding (Philippians 4:6–7) 🤝 Why Jesus calls us blessed when we choose to be peacemakers (Matthew 5:9) 🌾 How discipline and repentance lead to a peaceful harvest in our lives (Hebrews 12:11)

Peace isn’t passive—it’s powerful. 🙏 In order to truly receive the peace God has for us, we must also be willing to let go of what’s stealing it. That might mean repenting, releasing control, or saying no to distractions that keep you from abiding in Christ.

✨ Don’t forget: at the end of this episode, you’ll find your Peace Challenge of the Week to help you practice walking in the fruit of peace in a tangible way. Be sure to screenshot it, share it, and tag me so I can cheer you on! 🎉

👯‍♀️ Invite a friend to join you in the challenge—because growing fruitfully is even better in community.

Let’s keep becoming the women God created us to be—full of peace and anchored in His presence. 💖
