Maddy shares her journey of transitioning into an LDS service mission—the doubts, challenges, and even shame she faced along the way. In a space that's often viewed as "less conventional," she chose to rise above and found something she deeply cherished: a mission uniquely designed for her.

We talk about letting go of the "perfect" path and trusting that God's plan is better, even when it looks different. Maddy found purpose in lifting others and helping fellow missionaries feel seen and supported.

Her story is a reminder that God doesn't fit in a box—and neither do we. He works through our struggles to shape who we're becoming.

If you've ever felt behind or unsure of your path… this episode is for you!

God's plan > our plan. Always.

After six months away from the mic, I'm back and reflecting on a season that taught me so much about faith, surrender, and growth. This episode is a reminder that life can be overflowing with blessings while still feeling spiritually heavy—and that both can exist at the same time.

I talk about learning to tighten my circle with intention, embracing my words of the year, surrender and flourish, and how true flourishing happens when our roots are deep in faith. I also share how God calls us higher through both joy and struggle, and why the gospel doesn't make life easier—it equips us to face it.

If you're in a season of rebuilding, questioning, or chasing God more deeply, this episode is for you. Because even when faith feels stretched, joy has a way of returning.

We are God's greatest creation, and His love for us is constant—never earned or lost, but made complete through the Atonement of Jesus Christ. The adversary wants us to see our cracks as shameful flaws, but those very cracks are where Christ's love and grace can pour in. Wholeness in Him doesn't mean our trials disappear or that we become flawless; it means our broken pieces are filled with His healing power. Just like the woman with the issue of blood, years of unseen struggle can lead to profound moments of restoration when we reach for the Savior. Even in seasons of silence or distance, God is shaping us, reminding us that there is no deadline to His love and no limit to His power. Christ Himself wept, prayed earnestly, and needed angels, showing us that brokenness is not weakness—it is an opening for divine strength. If we were perfect porcelain, there would be no room for Him. But because we are cracked, He can step in, seal us with His grace, and make us whole in ways we could never be on our own.
