In this final Reckless episode of the year, Angela dives deep into the chaos of labels — the ones we chase, the ones we cling to, and the irony of wanting to be known without being judged.

From the “don’t judge me paradox” to the ways we brand ourselves, Angela explores how labels can comfort, cage, and distract us. She shares personal stories about motherhood, identity, and the ways she’s learning to release old survival tags, stop performing her personality, and reclaim her story.

This episode isn’t about becoming someone new — it’s about remembering who you really are beneath the noise, the expectations, and the highlight reels. Freedom starts when you let go of labels that make you smaller and embrace the messy, middle chapters of becoming.

As Reckless pauses for the holidays, Angela leaves you with one simple charge: stop taking yourself so seriously, loosen the grip, laugh at the nonsense, and live out loud.

In this final Rooted episode of the year, Angela wraps up Session Six of When Strivings Cease and closes out the entire study with a look at what it really means to let God author the story — past, present, and the chapters we’re still afraid to turn.

From Joseph’s twists and betrayals, to Paul’s pressing on, to the quiet invitation of Matthew 11, Angela reflects on the themes that hit hardest:
• what you treasure will shape how you interpret your story
• pressing on means not dragging old labels into new chapters
• grace doesn’t wait for you to “do better”
• and God can use detours, disasters, and even our rebellion as raw material for redemption

She shares where the study confronted her, where it comforted her, and how it reshaped the way she sees her past failures, her motherhood, her story, and her faith.

As Rooted pauses for the holidays, this episode closes out with a prayer for rest, release, and a deeper trust going into the new year — and a look ahead to the next study: The Way of the Wildflower.

You’re probably wondering how I got here…

In this episode of Wildflower, Angela lands an apartment straight out of a crime documentary, meets cockroaches that don’t fear daylight, scorpions with an attitude problem, a drunk apartment manager, midnight newspaper routes, police helicopters, locked keys, unexpected kindness, near-villains, actual weirdos, and tamales that practically kept her family alive.

Oh — and it turns out she was unknowingly aiding and abetting a fugitive.
Casual.

It’s messy, hilarious, unsettling, and weirdly comforting in hindsight — the kind of chapter where everything goes wrong at once, yet somehow you keep going, keep laughing, and keep figuring it out one catastrophe at a time.

Another essential brick in the becoming.
