In this heartfelt and empowering episode, Ivory sits down with her dear friend Olivia De La Rosa—a passionate second-grade teacher, big sister, and visionary educator with a God-sized dream. Olivia vulnerably shares how she’s navigating the tension between the dream God planted in her heart and the reality that doesn’t yet match what she imagined.

Together, they dive into what it looks like to walk from darkness to light, especially when answering a call that feels overwhelming, out-of-reach, or “not for right now.” Olivia opens up about her journey through perfectionism, fear, comparison, and the deep inner work of aligning with God’s truth over the enemy’s lies.

This episode is for the person who feels stuck between the vision and the victory—for the dreamer standing at the water’s edge, wondering if it’s safe to take the next step. Friend, this one’s for you. Whether you're launching a business, dreaming up a ministry, or simply trying to get out of bed with purpose, this episode will minister to your soul and move you toward your mission.

Ivory coaches listeners through identifying their “giants”—the fears or blocks keeping them stuck—and invites them to consider: What if the next step God wants to reveal isn’t out there, but in your heart?

You don’t need all the steps. You don’t need to be fearless. You just need to say yes. The miracle is often in the movement—and in the becoming.

Take a sacred pause. In this Soul Respite episode, you're invited to slow down and rest in the timeless truth of Psalm 23, gently read in various Bible translations.

This is not a teaching or a sermon. It is a holy space—an invitation to inhale peace and exhale pressure. Let the Word of God meet you wherever you are: weary, wandering, or simply needing to be reminded that you are never without a Shepherd.

Whether you’re driving, drifting to sleep, or journaling in the early morning hours, let this reading wash over your soul like living water. Come weary, leave renewed.

What to Expect in This Episode:

• A gentle, Spirit-led reading of Psalm 23 in different translations
• Soft background music to create a meditative atmosphere
• Space for deep breaths, reflection, and divine presence
• A closing prayer to seal the moment of rest with God's peace

Why Psalm 23?

Because sometimes, all we need is to be reminded:

"The Lord is my Shepherd, I lack nothing..."

His presence restores. His peace surrounds. His promises never fail.

Reflection Prompts (Optional for Journaling):

• Which translation spoke to you the most today?
• What image or word stood out as a balm to your soul?
• How is God inviting you to lie down in green pastures this week?

Closing Invitation:

If this soul respite blessed you, share it with a friend who may need a moment of stillness and grace today. And if you'd like more moments like this, be sure to follow the Rise Up & Radiate podcast for future soul resets, biblical encouragement, and Spirit-led inspiration.

In this Soul Reset, Ivory walks us through a powerful, Spirit-led reflection on Joshua 1:6–9. If you’ve been standing on the edge of breakthrough but feeling overwhelmed by fear, uncertainty, or pressure—this one’s for you.

God didn’t ask Joshua to feel strong and courageous—He commanded it. And He gives us the same divine invitation: to walk boldly into our purpose, grounded in His Word, and anchored in His presence.

You’ll be reminded that true success comes not from striving but from obedience, alignment, and devotion. When your soul is reset, your steps become steady. Tune in and be refreshed, strengthened, and reminded that you are never walking alone.

Where in your life is God asking you to be strong and courageous?

Are there areas where you’ve veered from His instructions?

How can you return to daily meditation and obedience today?

If this Soul Reset spoke to you, don’t keep it to yourself. Share it with a friend who needs strength for the journey.

And if you’re ready to take your next step toward living boldly, authentically, and in alignment with who God created you to be—book a discovery call or join the email list at www.radiate-lifecoaching.com

You were created to rise up and radiate. This is your moment.

Now breathe deep and walk boldly, beauty. He’s with you.

Have you ever found yourself in a place where you know God is good, but your heart is struggling to believe it?

In this deeply personal solo episode, Ivory shares what the Lord is teaching her in a season marked by physical weakness, spiritual wrestling, and the invitation to yield everything—her plans, her health, and even her ministry—back to Him.

From struggling to sing “The Goodness of God” at church to realizing that fear was still sitting on the throne of her life, Ivory opens up about how surrender, worship, and discernment are shaping her in the dark moments she's faced recently.

This is for you if your faith feels messy, your body is weary, or you’re walking through a hard season and need to be reminded: You don’t need perfect faith. You just need to cling to the One who is perfectly faithful.

1. Surrender is the way to peace. Partial surrender leads to anxiety. Full surrender invites God’s peace into every part of your life.
2. Wrestling doesn’t cancel your worship. Even in the dark, your faith has value. God honors your honesty and meets you there.
3. Discernment is your defense. The enemy often whispers lies that sound like your own thoughts—knowing God's voice is how you fight back.

If this episode spoke to you, Ivory would love to hear from you.

Email her at ivory@radiate-lifecoaching.com or book a free discovery call to go deeper in your own season of healing and surrender.

In this powerful 5-minute soul reset, Ivory takes us to Luke 8 and the story of Jairus—a father who dared to believe Jesus could save his dying daughter. But what happens when hope is met with heartbreak? When the miracle feels delayed… or denied?

This episode speaks to the heart that’s weary, the person who's moved in faith but now sits in the silence of a prayer that hasn't yet been answered. With gentle truth and bold encouragement, Ivory reminds us that with Jesus, dead doesn’t always mean done.

This episode is for you if:

• You’re walking through disappointment or waiting on a breakthrough
• You've felt mocked for still hoping in what God can do
• Something in your life feels lifeless—your peace, joy, purpose, or confidence
• You need to remember that God can still resurrect what looks dead

Soul Reset Takeaway:

"Don’t let the voice of disappointment be louder than the voice of Jesus. What seems dead might only be asleep—just believe."

Reflection Prompt:

What in your life have you declared dead that Jesus might be asking you to believe for again?

Scripture Highlight:

Don’t be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.” —Luke 8:50

Listen and be reminded:

God is still in the business of resurrection. He’s still calling things to life. And you, beloved, are seen, known, and loved right here.

What is a "Respite"?

A respite is a short period of rest or relief from something difficult or unpleasant. And let’s be real—life can be a lot. There are days when your soul feels heavy, your mind is tired, and your heart is in desperate need of peace. That’s where these Soul Respites come in.

This is your sacred pause.

A gentle invitation to slow down.

A moment to breathe in God’s presence and exhale the weight of the world.

Whether you’re driving, drifting off to sleep, or simply craving a moment of stillness, let these monthly Soul Respites be your invitation into rest and renewal. God’s Word is alive, active, and deeply healing. When it is spoken over your weary soul, it has the power to restore what life has worn down.

Does your soul need rest?

Let these words wash over you. Let them be your safe place to recover, to be restored, and to be renewed.

Why Good Friday?

There is no better day to launch this on the podcast than Good Friday—a day we remember the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who laid down His life so that we could walk in freedom, wholeness, and eternal life.

He died so we could live—truly live. Rest for your soul is not just available... it was purchased by His love.

Want to Know Jesus for Yourself?

If something stirred in your spirit while listening and you want to know this peace personally, here’s how you can accept Jesus as your Savior:

1. Believe that Jesus is the Son of God, who died for your sins and rose again.
2. Confess your need for Him. Turn from all you've been hoping in outside of Jesus and put your complete faith in Him to save you and bring your soul to life. You don’t have to have it all together—He meets you exactly where you are.
3. Pray something simple like this:

Jesus, I believe You are the Son of God. I believe You died on the cross and rose again so I could be forgiven and have new life. I invite You into my heart today. Be my Savior, my Lord, and my peace. I give You my life and choose to follow You. Amen.

If you prayed this prayer—welcome to the family of God! I would love to celebrate with you and walk with you. Please send me an email me at ivory@radiate-lifecoaching.com so we can connect.

💛 I pray these Soul Respites bring peace, renewal, and restoration to your soul. You were never meant to carry it all, beloved one. Let this be your gentle reminder to come away and rest.

Have you ever felt overlooked? Like you’ve been faithful, holding onto God’s promises, but nothing seems to be shifting? In today’s episode, we dive into Genesis 41:9-14, where Joseph—once forgotten in prison—is suddenly remembered at the right time. His story reminds us that God is always working behind the scenes and that when He moves, things happen quickly.

If you’ve ever struggled with waiting, silence, or the feeling of being forgotten, this episode is for you.

• You feel overlooked and forgotten. If you’ve been waiting for a breakthrough, this episode will remind you that God’s delay is not His denial.
• You’re struggling with doubt in the waiting. When nothing seems to be moving, it’s easy to wonder if God has changed His mind—but He is always working behind the scenes.
• You need encouragement to keep going. The waiting season is not wasted. God is preparing you for what’s next, refining your heart, and setting things in motion.
• You’re ready to release the burden of trying to make things happen. Like Joseph, we must learn to shift from self-reliance to trust: "I can't… but God can. And because He can, I will."
• You want to walk in confidence, even when you don’t see progress. You don’t have to fight for recognition—when it’s time, God will open the doors quickly.

💡 Beloved one, you are not forgotten. You are being positioned. Keep walking.
