Turning 40: The 4 Themes I Learned In My 30's & The 6 Ways I Now Love Myself To Show Up Best For God And His Bride.

Welcome to Becoming Matriarch—the intersection where women of faith do the work of becoming in life, leadership, and motherhood.

In this episode, recorded on the eve of my 40th birthday, I get raw about what self-love really means through the lens of Christ’s love. We’ve all heard “love your neighbor as yourself,” but Yeshua raised the bar: “Love each other just as much as I have loved you.”

That truth has changed everything for me as a woman, a wife, a mom, a businesswoman, and a follower of Jesus. I share the 4 moments that shaped me over the last decade—through betrayal, deep fellowship, the power of words, radical obedience, and finding my true identity in Christ.

Inside, I’ll also share my 6 self-love MUSTS:

1. Intimacy skills + self-care
   

2. Grace in every season
   

3. Knowing your cycle and your rhythms
   

4. Physical well-being
   

5. Time with Abba
   

6. Understanding identity in Christ
   

If you’ve ever asked, “How do I love myself without guilt or shame? How do I live out Yeshua’s commandment to love others as He loves me?”—this episode is for you.
