How To Discern Your Spiritual Gifts With Jill Simons

In this episode, I'm joined by Jill Simons, founder of Many Part Ministries for a conversation that will change the way you think about spiritual gifts, specifically your spiritual gifts.

Jill walks us through how charisms (another word for spiritual gifts) help you live in alignment with how God made you, avoid burnout, and start noticing where His grace is already flowing into your life. We talk about how these gifts show up in motherhood, how to identify them, and why it's so freeing to know what to say yes to, and what's okay to let go.

You'll hear:

• The difference between talents and charisms (and why it matters)
• What "supernatural effectiveness" looks like in your everyday life
• How knowing your gifts can help you set better boundaries without guilt
• The practical tools that help you start discerning your charisms right away

Whether you've never heard of charisms before or you're ready to dig deeper, Jill makes it easy to get started.

Mastering The Art of Saying No Without Guilt

Sometimes saying "no" feels anything but peaceful.

Even when we know it's the right decision, the guilt creeps in. We worry about letting people down, missing out, or not being seen as a "good mom." And before we know it, we've said yes to too many things that pull us away from what actually matters.

In this episode, I'm talking about how to master the art of saying no with peace, purpose, and love.

You'll hear:

• Why it's so hard to say no (even when we want to)
• How guilt disguises itself as responsibility
• What happens when we override our peace to please others
• A few mindset shifts that can help you say no with clarity and confidence
• Phrases to use when you need to set a boundary
• Why every "no" creates room for a better "yes"

You're not selfish for needing space. You're not unkind for honoring your limits. But if that still feels hard, this episode will help.

3 Powerful Verses to Eliminate Exhaustion

This episode is for the moms who are just plain tired, body, mind, and soul. The kind of tired that sleep doesn’t touch. You’re doing your best, showing up for everyone, but quietly wondering… does it have to feel this heavy all the time?

In today’s episode, I’m sharing three scripture verses that have been a lifeline for me, and for so many of the women I coach. These words from God are more than encouragement; they’re reminders that you’re not alone, and you don’t have to carry it all by yourself.

Here's what you'll hear:

• Why exhaustion doesn't mean you're failing
• One thing to ask when you're running on empty and don't know where to turn
• A scripture that will help you shift the story you're telling yourself
• Simple ways to bring these verses into your daily rhythm

If you're in a season where exhaustion feels like the norm, I want you to know you're not alone. You're not doing it wrong. And you're not meant to carry it all without help.

These verses aren't just nice words, they're real anchors you can hold onto when you're running on empty.

This Simple Discipline Always Protects Your Peace

In this episode, I'm sharing a one-word response that's helped me hold onto peace, even in the small, messy moments of everyday life.

It's something inspired by a line from Jesus Calling, and now it's become a habit that grounds me when things don't go as planned.

I'll talk about:

• The phrase I say when life throws curveballs
• Why it's not about indifference, but holy release
• How this discipline builds the strength we need for bigger challenges

This is one of those small shifts that can make a big difference. Try it this week and see what happens.

The Keep Going Fallacy

Have you ever told yourself, "I just need to keep going..."?

In the middle of full schedules and long to-do lists, especially around the holidays, it's easy to believe that we have no choice but to keep going.

But what if that "just keeping going" mindset is actually costing you peace?

In this episode, I'm sharing what I call the Keep Going Fallacy: the idea that quitting or pivoting means failure, when sometimes it's actually the most faithful, aligned, and peaceful decision you can make.

You'll hear:

• Why hustle culture gets it wrong (especially for moms)
• How to tell the difference between real commitment and auto-pilot
• 5 powerful questions to help you decide whether to keep going, pivot, or pause
• Why giving something up doesn't mean giving up on yourself

And I'll walk you through how to move forward with clarity, whether that means continuing with fresh intention or choosing a new path.

This episode is for the mom who’s spinning her wheels, trying so hard to hold it all together. You’re allowed to pause. To breathe. To ask what’s really serving you—and to change your mind with grace.

How To Be Still And Know God

You've probably seen Pslam 46:10 stitched on a pillow or printed in pretty script, "Be still and know that I am God."

And if you're anything like I used to be, maybe that verse doesn't feel comforting, it feels heavy. Like a command you're constantly failing to follow.

Who has time for stillness? Not when there's dinner to cook, laundry to fold, kids to juggle, and a mind that never stops spinning.

But what if being still isn't about doing nothing, but about becoming aware? What if it's less about stopping and more about remembering?

In this episode, I'll talk about:

• What stillness actually looks like in a busy mom life (hint: it's not a silent retreat)
• The guilt and pressure we sometimes attach to spiritual practices, and how to let that go
• How your kids benefit when you model inner calm
• Why awareness might be the key to knowing God in your everyday life
• Three simple ways to bring more stillness to your week, even with a full plate

If you've ever looked at that verse and thought, "That's not possible for me," this episode is for you. Let's quiet the noise, just for a moment, and remember who is really in control.
